The dispute could shape November politics.
Japan and Nationalist China sever all war status and establish diplomatic ties after Chou En-lai and Kakuei Tanaka sign a joint communique in Peking. Tokyo stops short of ending all ties and recognizes Peking's claim to Taiwan, shocking Taipei officials.
Republican incumbent W Don MacGillivray and Democrat Gary Hart faced off in Lompoc Valley, outlining stark contrasts on death penalty, marijuana, taxes, and education.

City officials reveal Lompoc will get 238000 from the federal revenue sharing plan. Mayor Cotsenmoyer, and Senators Cranston and Tunney, say funds are retroactive to 1972 with half—about 119000—to arrive next month and the rest on January 1, 1973. Funds will be reserved until spending guidelines are issued.
County building official Ray Nokes says environmental impact statements slow new county projects as the Supreme Court ruling curbs work across departments. Permits are limited to minor renovations.

City Attorney James Longtin says effect of new environmental impact study rules on Lompoc is unclear. He notes no guidance from state bodies and that current county halting permits may be overreactive. Pending cases may only affect large subdivisions, not current projects, with possible delays if rules apply.
