Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird told AP editors that Nixon's second term will emphasize domestic affairs and that allies must police more in their own nations. He cited Japan and warned the Soviet Union is rapidly expanding military readiness. Laird plans no firm retirement date, eyeing family time and possible Senate run in 1974, with Kenneth Rush as a potential successor.
