US seeks to cut Hanoi aid pressed during Moscow visit
Secretary of State William Rogers testified that the United States has failed to persuade the Soviet Union and China to reduce aid to North Vietnam. Nixon will renew the request during a Moscow visit, with Russia and China supplying arms and small arms and road building aid respectively. Rogers defended continued Asia commitments and outlined aid requests for South Vietnam and Cambodia amid ongoing war concerns. In a separate note, Claremont police reported a man who walked into the station with a pay phone claimed as his robbery victim, seeking a refund for a dime.
