Agnews Vote Not Needed In Senate Troop Cut Battle
In Washington Vice President Agnew presided as the Senate rejected a Mansfield backed plan to withdraw half of the 300000 U S troops in Western Europe by December 31. The 61 to 36 defeat followed a prior failed alternative, the McMathias proposal, and no compromise earned support. Mansfield credited Brezhnev prodding for East West talks as influence on the outcome.

Hearnes Danforth amendment derailed in Missouri Senate
A plan to ease a 1972 governor race between Gov. Warren Hearnes and Atty. Gen. John Danforth was sent to the Senate Budget Control Committee.
