Out Our Way on War Effort and Peace Proposals
The piece argues that bulk cargo support to sustain a war would persist even if North Vietnam’s rail links are heavily disrupted by U S air actions. It suggests the Soviets and Red China will publically pressure but privately permit North Vietnam to pursue the latest American peace proposals as the best path forward.

Congress to decide reimbursement for cyclamate losses
Federal ban on cyclamates in 1969 left packers, canners, and bottlers with unsalable stock. Proponents, led by Rep. B F Sisk, argue for compensation to cover losses and aid farmers, while opponents led by Rep. Emanuel Celler say paying would reward poor business judgment and neglect of consumer health. The House Judiciary Committee approved a bill with dissenting views.
