Manpower Bill Veto Shows Nixon Rejects Job Plan
Washington CAP reports President Nixon vetoed a 9.5 billion manpower training bill, saying it perpetuates deficiencies. The measure would have created thousands of public service positions and directed 2 billion in grants to cities and states with 200 million this year. Mayors warned of hardship for cities facing a backlog as Congress considers alternatives. Also note a New York AP brief on uneven tire wear and causes from brakes to load.
