Nixon Outlines Revolutionary Welfare Program
President Nixon proposes a New Federalism to nationalize welfare with a basic $1,600 annual income for a four person family, plus supplements to $3,920 and a work requirement. The plan would replace aid to dependent children, fund job training and day care, and slow revenue sharing to states, with broad political debate ahead.

So-Called Bishop Raises Eyebrows In Ann Arbor
A county prosecutor will conduct a cursory investigation of a former mental patient who claims to be a bishop and visited John Collins, the 22 year old student charged with killing EMU freshman Karen Beineman. Sheriff Harvey said Collins allowed the minister to visit, but refused further talks. Pasic, 62, says he is Bishop Bartholomew of the Doukhobors, a Russian founded sect active in Canada, though British Columbia authorities deny this title. District Attorney Delhay said the inquiry will determine any link to Beineman’s death and six similar murders in southeast Michigan. Also, for questioning in the slayings, Andrew Manuel Jr., 19, a factory worker, was returned from Phoenix, Ariz. to Michigan Friday night.
