Senate panel expands Social Security welfare plans with highest cost yet
Washington AP The Senate Finance Committee drafted the largest expansion of Social Security and welfare yet but still seeks funding. The measure would cost about 17.6 billion annually by 1974, with Nixon aides arguing 24.1 billion. Republicans and Democrats clash over tax bases and rates to pay for the benefits. Long defends the plan while conservatives push limits on low incomes and oppose a proposed tax reform amendment. Nelson hints at reviving the amendment on the floor.

Fired Commander Would Do It Again Under Pressure
Gen. John D Lavelle, a former U S air commander in Vietnam, told a House subcommittee he would order unauthorized air strikes again if given the chance but would improve reporting procedures. He said he acted to counter Hanoi's buildup near the demilitarized zone and cited misreports that prompted the raids. Lavelle halted raids March 10 after discovering three false reports and said some staffers erred in hot pursuit of justification for the attacks. He acknowledged overstepping authority but defended protective reaction aims under on the spot rules of engagement.
