Move Started To Expand U S Church Council
Detroit AP move launched today to abolish the National Council of Churches in its present form and replace it with a broader umbrella organization of Christian cooperation. It would include diverse churches and allow varied courses of action while dropping majority dictated joint actions. Dr. Espy urged no half measures as the overhaul aims to enlist nonmember denominations including Southern Baptists, Catholics, and Lutherans, to form a General Ecumenical Council while preserving self determination. The five day assembly opened at Cobo Hall with 800 voting delegates and 2,000 visitors amid calls for reform and demonstrations by black churchmen and white reformers.

Nixon Faces Party Strains Over Antipoverty Bill
President Nixon's relations with Republicans worsen as the House prepares to vote on antipoverty and voting rights legislation. A two year extension of the Economic Opportunity Act draws limited GOP support, while a nationwide voting rights bill sparks Northern Republican distress. The split reflects deep ideological divides and White House missteps with Congress. Donald Rumsfeld's push to maintain OEO narrows party unity, and Nixon faces a likely political setback regardless of House action.

U.S. Plan to Press Israel If Soviets Accept Mideast Proposal

Officials foresee a slim chance of Soviet approval and expect a December summit decision. The plan calls for Israel to withdraw to pre 1967 lines with Egypt in exchange for Cairo's peace commitment and Rhodes formula talks on Gaza and Sharm El Sheikh.
