A tabloid funded effort in Orange County used $5 donations to print a special edition for POW and MIA families. Promoters and a convicted robber ran the scheme, drawing $10,000 to $15,000 before a court injunction. Veterans News paused after agreeing to compensate two POW MIA groups.

PW-MIA group tightens rules amid White House protest
The National League of Families of American Prisoners and Missing in Southeast Asia moved to keep members from representing personal politics as league stance. Pickets outside the White House demanded Nixon set a Vietnam withdrawal date. President Nixon visited later, saying concerns were not a factor in his decision. The group adopted a nonpolitical pledge, limited publicity, and planned a delegation to the United Nations while ruling out political lobbying.
