A Los Angeles Vietnam veteran in a wheelchair described the attack and urged an end to the war. Demonstrators blocked access to the hall, forcing delegates to walk amid rain and jeers while police and state troops intervened to restore order.

Price rules shape profits under new Price Commission plan
Washington Bureau reports that the Price Commission proposes letting businessmen raise profits only to preset levels tied to either the Aug. 15, 1971, or May 25, 1970 benchmarks. Chairman C. Jackson Grayson Jr. says consumers win if price cuts or refunds occur, and firms gain flexibility in profit margins. Firms may offer refunds to past customers to offset price reductions, or else lower prices to offset rescinded increases.

Black Republican Vernon Brown challenges California GOP
Vernon Brown, a 21 year old Negro Republican nominee in California, denounces Republican leaders for excluding black Americans from the party while declaring his still firm loyalty. He claims the California delegation was staff-chosen to flatter white leaders, calls for true black representation, and notes the Democratic Party has offered better outreach to Blacks. Brown vows to run for Congress against Glen Anderson, saying the party would face a problem if he wins without their support.
