Nixon Ends Moscow Mission With Polish Talks in Warsaw
Exhausted President Nixon wrapped up a worldwide tour with a Warsaw communique after four hours of talks with Polish leader Edward Gierek. They agreed to speed talks on European troop reductions and to pursue a European security conference, while trade talks would continue. The Warsaw decision left the Vietnam issue unresolved, with essential views still divergent. Nixon, fatigued from stops in Leningrad, Kiev, and Tehran, planned a 9:30 p.m. EDT address to Congress to explain Moscow summit agreements, emphasizing arms talks and easing East-West tensions.

Did Lawyers Collect Twice In Land Dispute
Mrs. Pegay Sutherland of Kingsport faced a shock when $7,000 was deducted from her funds to pay four lawyers in a family land partition suit. Judge Dayton Phillips ordered fees from the $43,000 settlement, with two plaintiffs' lawyers and two defendants' lawyers receiving payments. Mrs. Sutherland claims her own and her aunt's local lawyers offered lower rates. The case never went to trial and the judge says he sets fees only when no prior agreement exists. Page A, Col 1.
