McGovern signals conditional troop pullout plans
Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern said he would consider accelerating the withdrawal of U S troops from Thailand if it aids the release of U S prisoners of war and would push for a 90 day withdrawal from Indochina. He suggested keeping some forces in Thailand may occur until prisoners are freed and criticized isolationist labels. He also argued for deep cuts in Europe and a direct negotiation approach with Israel, while predicting a Nixon lead is not decisive and planning a Labor Day campaign detour in Detroit.

Dole cites campaign fund violations amid Watergate rumors
Senate Republican Robert Dole accuses McGovern backers of fund violations and says more charges may follow as GAO probes Nixon fund-raisers. The Washington Star-News reports two ex White House consultants linked to a Watergate break in with listening devices near the Democratic National Committee offices. The GAO notes Liddy handled $114 000 of Nixon campaign funds, part of $350 000 questioned as possibly mishandled. Dole calls for law changes to require earlier disclosures.
