Voters face two local ballot questions in Lawrence
Lawrence voters will decide on two special questions next Tuesday alongside selecting three city commission members and four school board members. A half percent sales tax would fund 26 police, 15 firefighters, and six other workers, with minimal cost to the average family. The second asks to lower voting age to 18 for local and state elections, a move the Journal World strongly supports to align with national rules and acknowledge duties of youth in national service.

Laos Mark Last Big Push Signals U.S. Drawdown
Washington reports that the Laos operation marks the final commitment of U.S. troops for a major operation against Communist sanctuaries outside South Vietnam. Officials say the aftermath points to faster troop withdrawals toward about 15,000 per month, aiming for no more than 50,000 by late 1972. Brig. Gen. Haig drafted a confidential report praising a spoiling action on the Ho Chi Minh Trail that disrupted supply lines and shifted Communist divisions, easing pressure near the DMZ.
