Peace talks bog down again in Paris stalls
In Paris the peace talks stalled as U S pleas for calm discussion and a secret Kissinger meeting with Hanoi negotiators failed to break the deadlock. Viet Cong and South Vietnamese negotiators opposed a cease fire first and rejected a coalition or any new proposals as not negotiable. Madame Binh criticized U S demands for separate political and military settlements as one sided.

Lompoc City Budget Faces Growth Gap and Rising Strains
City administrator Gene Wahlers presents a 2.07 million general fund budget for 1972-73, unchanged tax rate, with $257000 in trimmed department requests and reliance on salary savings to cover the gap. Assessed valuation is declining but may stabilize at $32.278 million. tax rate remains $1.68 per $100, producing about $539245 in revenue. Major expenditures include police and fire costs, street maintenance, retirement, finance, and park upkeep, with federal funding for employment and youth programs. Wahlers warns a future tax-rate increase may be needed to avoid a fiscal crisis in 1973-74.
