Nixon Advice Is Rejected At National Meet
At the 61st National Governors Conference in Colorado Springs governors urged the federal government to assume full cost of U.S. welfare payments, rejecting Nixon's limited plan.

Governor Rockefeller of New York argued for complete federal takeover to ensure uniform welfare support nationwide. Nixon, in a Monday speech, defended his proposals against claims they favor poorer states less than richer ones.
