Spend ceiling approved with curbs on fund impounding
In a 68 to 24 Senate vote the Ervin bill to cap federal spending and curb Nixon’s impoundment power passed its first test. The measure would set a $208 billion cap for 1974, require impoundments to seek congressional approval, and force uniform cuts if spending exceeds the ceiling. The House fate was uncertain.

Papuan Reveals 30 Years Hidden From Japanese
In Port Moresby a naked emaciated Papuan emerged from the New Guinea jungle and told a garbled tale of hiding from the Japanese for 30 years. He said he lived alone, survived on crabs and snakes, and did not know World War II had ended. He claimed being forced onto a work gang in 1943 after the Japanese occupation, then escaped into the jungle a year later and remained hidden.
