A column notes Vice President Spiro T. Agnew criticized major papers after attacking TV networks. The Ottawa Herald editor defends press freedom, saying newspapers face daily scrutiny from readers and peers, yet remain first to publish and first to be judged.
Topeka rejected all bids of 1.2 million for city street and sewer projects as too costly. The low bid included 5 percent on bonds and 1 percent commission, while the legal limit is 5 percent.

Legislature may need to raise the limit in January to avoid halting improvements across Kansas cities.

Gore seeks to raise the personal exemption to $1,000 by 1973 with support from Kennedy and Eastland. The panel backs an 8 percent depletion rate, versus a House cut to 2 percent. The plan keeps the Johnson surcharge and repeals the 7 percent investment credit, with Mansfield signaling long sessions to finish before a Christmas recess. The bill must pass both chambers and be approved by Nixon after a conference committee resolves differences.
A dense, fragmented log lists TV airings across a day with programs such as Flintstones Gunsmoke Lucille Ball Perry Mason News and Weather Tonight Sunrise Semester and various game shows. It notes many times and channel markers, reflecting a busy prime to late night lineup.
