Nixon seeks AMA support for health plan at convention
President Nixon urged the American Medical Association to back his health insurance approach during a Atlantic City speech. He cited Kennedy’s plan as costly, predicting a $77 billion annual federal bill by 1973 and warns it could lead to federal control of medicine. Nixon argued his plan would raise household health costs less than nationalized coverage. He also urged doctors to help fight drug abuse by limiting prescriptions and targeting tranquilizers and other narcotics.

Court Orders Job Transfer Rights For Black Employes of 2 Steel Firms
NEW YORK AP The U S Court of Appeals ordered Bethlehem Steel Co and the United Steelworkers to permit black employees to transfer to better plant jobs without losing seniority or pay. The ruling, seen as a Civil Rights Act 1964 enforcement move, labels Lackawanna N Y as a microcosm of job discrimination. Judge Feinberg noted white applicants benefited from nonstandard hiring and some inflated aptitude scores, with blacks over 80 percent in 11 departments handling hotter, dirtier work and barred from higher paying cleaner positions. The decision followed an initial district court order improving hiring and promotion policies and clarifying transfer rights.
