Franco German summit yields mutual gains in trade and defense
French President Pompidou and West German Chancellor Brandt wrapped a two day meeting in Bonn with broad accord on enlarging the European Common Market while keeping tariff barriers away from the United States. They backed U S defense cooperation in Europe and agreed on warmer East Bloc policy and Soviet relations. The German mark issue remained contentious with Pompidou favoring a fixed rate, while keeping the dollar influence in Europe flexible.

Solons Seek More Funds For Lunches
Washington senators urged the Nixon administration to nearly double the summer lunch program funding. They said the Agriculture Department promised funds and warned that it would take 30 million to fully fund the program, citing Congress’s recent authorization to use up to 100 million in customs receipts if needed. The letter, led by Clifford Case, argued that cities expanded programs with department support and expected funding, and noted no reply from George Shultz yet.
