Maryland poet laureate fights bill to end tenure
Vincent Godfrey Burns, Maryland’s poet laureate, vows to defend his eight year tenure as lawmakers propose a bill to cap the post at a single three year term. The measure, sponsored by House Speaker Lowe and Del Grumbacher, would have the governor appoint nominees through the Maryland State Poetry Society. Burns calls the move a deliberate attack and says the society is behind efforts to end his tenure, while supporters say the bill targets the idea of lifetime tenure and would open the chair to younger poets.

Nixon seeks authority to halt strikes nationwide
President Nixon re submits his 1970 plan to Congress to curb emergency labor disputes in rail airline maritime long shore and trucking sectors. The proposal would allow imposed settlements if negotiations fail, a final offer selection seen as compulsory arbitration by labor. He cites near term threat of a crippling railroad shutdown and urges swift action against repetition. The bill would remove emergency strike provisions from the railway labor act and extend Taft Hartley emergency powers to all transportation industries.
