Pentagon denies resuming 1965 68 bombing campaign
A Pentagon spokesman said the United States has not resumed the full scale bombing of North Vietnam. He described current air strikes as limited duration, geographically limited, and aimed at protecting U.S. forces. He contrasted this with a change in policy toward withdrawing forces rather than a major ground war, while critics pressed for end to intensified bombing. A new bomb claimed to clear jungle to create helicopter landing zones is reported by two scientists.

Election Probe and New Jail Highlight Franklin County in 1971
A year in review notes a grand jury to investigate 1970 election irregularities centered on a $2.5 million hospital issue. The jury found no illegal action but cited human error and inexperience. The county budget rose to 4.07 million with population up to 20,168. Seven townships moved toward zoning. Plans for a new jail progressed with architectural plans, bids revised to meet cost targets, and construction slated between the current jail and courthouse. A city agreement provides utilities space for 110 dollars monthly. A solid waste board formed to meet 1974 disposal law requirements.
