Humphrey says pentagon report showed candor lacking
Senator Hubert Humphrey says as vice president he witnessed President Johnson's anguish over decisions that escalated the Vietnam War. He notes a secret Pentagon study published by The New York Times revealed a lack of candor about those decisions and says he did not know of the report or its papers until the Times articles appeared. He argues some documents were memos, not policy, and that Johnson was cautious, seeking a negotiated peace while a military advantage limited talks. Humphrey adds he supported decisions and accepts responsibility, remains hopeful about 1972 prospects, and does not fear political fallout.

Labor Leaders Clash On Assistance To Lockheed
Washington AP Two top labor chiefs split over a proposed 250 million government loan guarantee to keep Lockheed Aircraft solvent. AFL-CIO president Meany backs underwriting to save TriStar jet work and up to 45,700 jobs in 35 states, while United Auto Workers chief Woodcock warns of dangers and opposes government bailouts of big firms. Floyd Smith of IAMAW adds bankruptcy would shock aerospace and ripple through the economy, citing 17,700 layoffs for Airbus workers and total aerospace unemployment at 300,000. Woodcock proposes using unemployed aerospace workers to meet domestic needs rather than propping up Lockheed. He notes airlines might switch to DC-10 if Lockheed fails, creating new subcontract opportunities.
