Walters denies Nixon funds in AIP purge plot in California
The ringleader in a failed plan to drop the American Independent Party from California ballots denies receiving $10,000 from the Nixon campaign. He says the effort was not aided by American Nazis and headed a late 1971 to early 1972 registration drive. In Los Angeles he claims no funding and cites possible Nazi involvement by a few workers.

Summer comes to Southern California amid expansion plans
Southern California greets summer as the county Board of Supervisors approves 210000 from revenue sharing for a county wide microwave expansion. Raymond Johnson says the system will speed county work and save about 4000 a month in tolls. Sheriff Carpenter and Fire Chief Risdon back the project as a tie in for emergency services. Johnson notes the old system will be phased out by the FCC. A brush fire in the San Jacinto mountains draws 350 men and four air tankers, while Gov Reagan urges four counties to limit driving to curb a day smog surge.
