Meany Attacks McGovern and Endorsement Pause
AFL-CIO President George Meany denounces George McGovern as an apologist for the Communist world and criticizes his labor record. Meany says the AFL-CIO will withhold endorsement of both McGovern and Nixon in the November race while noting labor polls show the slate shifting toward the Republicans. He argues voters must judge candidates for president and American leadership.

Cambodian Polls Open For Voting Amid One-Party Context
Cambodia's first national assembly election in six years opened with government workers going door to door to urge voting. Leaflets dropped by military planes, and voting at work sites, marked a tightly controlled process as Lon Nol's Socio-Republican party dominated. The sole opposition group, the Prachen Chon, reportedly supports Lon Nol, while observers note the election serves to avoid a one party ballot. In Washington, Leonard Woodcock defended McGovern against labeling him an apologist for communism, citing UAW support and a majority in AFL-CIO aligned with McGovern.
