Nixon could end Vietnam War by 1972 if POWs freed
Senate Republican Leader Hugh Scott says all American servicemen in Southeast Asia could be home by the end of 1972 if POWs are released. He based this on Nixon's briefing to congressional leaders and his national address on winding down the war. A fire in Springfield Ohio damaged a cardboard box plant, with four children playing near matches sparking the blaze and $40,000 in damage. No injuries reported and production may resume soon at the plant or another site.
