Senate Faction Seeks Delay Pay Hike Vetoed
Washington AP The House defeated a veto of a six month delay in federal pay raises by 207 to 174. Senator Moss Utah said he would push a similar delay in the Senate as Nixon warned the move could derail inflation combat plans. House Republicans and most Southern Democrats backed the delay but Speaker Albert framed the issue as aligning public and private workers.

Geophysicist Dr Chi yu King reports a creep movement of slightly over one third inch along a Hayward Calaveras fault branch near Hollister during July 17 18 totaling the largest creep on record. He says it probably relieved substantial crustal strain and may act as a safety valve for stresses building on the San Andreas fault and near San Francisco Bay, with experts warning a big quake could follow.
