New Tightening of Welfare Regulations
The United States implements a broad crackdown on welfare fraud requiring more than 11 million recipients to supply Social Security numbers for eligibility and payment verification. New AFDC applicants must provide numbers, with existing recipients given six months to comply, and states will aid those lacking numbers. A parallel rule targets paternity determinations and child support collection, with potential loss of federal funds for noncompliant states. Actions extend to Medicaid as some states require numbers under Privacy Act constraints.

Few Americans Remain In Laos
Only 22 U.S. officials remained in Laos as Pathet Lao demonstrators harassed Americans and occupied U.S. facilities. About 20 embassy staff were flown out to Bangkok over the weekend, leaving a small guard and the military attache. The State Department waited to decide next steps while pressuring for a U.S. withdrawal and continued diplomatic ties.

India Clamped Down By Emergency Tactics
India tightened emergency rule under Prime Minister Indira Gandhi giving police power to arrest without stating grounds. Local authorities must be reviewed by state officials within 15 days and reconfirmed every four months. Demonstrations surfaced in New Delhi with police using bamboo to quell crowds. The government imposed censorship and warned foreign reports require authorization before dispatch.
