Senate Democrats Fail to Pass Major 1971 Tax Cuts
Senate Democrats failed to add a large 1971 tax cut for individuals to the $23.6 billion tax reduction bill and aimed to finish work on the measure. A college tuition tax credit of up to 925 a year was approved, raising costs by 2.2 billion annually, but faced House rejection in earlier attempts. Debates centered on increasing personal exemptions and extra cuts for 1971, with several amendments defeated. The college credit details include 75 percent of the first 200, 25 percent of the next 300, and 10 percent of the next 1000, phasing out for higher incomes. The chamber also rejected rebates for poverty-level families on sales and property taxes.

Abrams warns to slow pace of Vietnam withdrawal
Gen. Creighton W. Abrams was told to plan a U S troop level of 60 000 to 95 000 in Vietnam by June 30. Nixon's pace may vary, with a potential cut to 139 000 by January end. The plan allows latitude if talks stall or prisoners are released. Meanwhile Viet Cong attacked a Mekong Delta outpost killing four. Two U S pilots died in separate incidents, with rockets hitting Phnom Penh airport and Phu Cat air base set for turnover to South Vietnam.

Grocers oppose Missouri soda pop tax initiative
The Missouri Retail Grocers Association urged members to oppose petitions to expand the 10 percent sales tax on soda bottles. Executive director Gilbert V. Jones of Sedalia said a 1 cent per bottle tax could hurt soda sales, noting taxes in four other states and opposition in 2 percent of states. He argued the tax is discriminatory, misaligned with state priorities like education and health, and could lead to broader campaigns against detergents, ice cream, coffee, and candy if earmarked for conservation.

Mars haze blocks view of Mariner 9
Mariner 9 orbiting Mars has limited surface view due to haze but infrared data detect silicate particles and a warm surface area about 12 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than surroundings. Scientists note possible high terrain effects and dust in the atmosphere may explain the surface heating and obscure cameras.
