Nixon Won't Place Holdings in Trust for Presidency
President elect Nixon will not place his financial holdings in trust while in the White House. Counsel John Ehrlichman says assets exceed a half million dollars but pose no conflict of interest, with most liquidity aside from real estate. The move breaks recent presidents' practice, contrasting with Johnson's 1963 divestment. Some cabinet picks plan to publish complete asset records, including George Shultz and Robert Finch.

Nixon urged to take stand on 10 percent surtax
In Washington Senate leader Mansfield urged President-elect Nixon to join Johnson in backing the 10 percent income surtax. Johnson plans a budget with a small surplus and wants Nixon to weigh in before next week’s budget and State of the Union messages. Mansfield stressed bipartisanship while Bennett doubted a balanced budget without extending the tax. Nixon had sought ending the surtax once Vietnam ends. Burglars broke into a Long Beach home at 5369 E Ocean Blvd and stole golf clubs tools and a sweater valued at 210 dollars.
