Senate Ethics Committee Presses Dodd Censure Fight
The U S Senate Ethics Committee worked to shore up charges against Sen. Thomas J. Dodd with debate focusing on double billing for seven travel trips and a separate charge that he diverted more than $116 083 in political funds to personal use. Support from Sen. Eugene McCarthy could trigger a resignation from the panel if the charges fail. The outcome hinges on parliamentary moves next week as leaders set a possible vote for Tuesday or Wednesday.

Sen Kennedy calls for cancellation of this year's government financed National Rifle Matches at Camp Perry Ohio. He says the Defense Department underwrites nearly 3 million dollars annually and urges Camp Perry be used as a summer center for underprivileged youth.
