Virginia Tax Plan Offered by Largent
Virginia legislator F L Largent Jr proposes cutting the state sales tax to 1 percent and eliminating most exemptions to raise revenue for Virginia's future. He urges local tax continuation, a 1 percent employment tax on employers, repeal of the 2 percent titling tax, and a progressive income tax.

Nixon visit in Thailand shadowed by security scare
Two security scares mar President Nixon's Asia trip as police say a gun battle in Manila killed a man they linked to a possible assassination plot. The Manila Chronicle quoted relatives disputing the police account. Authorities say the dead man had been in custody hours earlier and carried a sketch linking to Nixon's hotel visit. Nixon proceeded with travel as officials maintain no solid plot evidence. In Virginia, federal funds totaling 9.7 million were approved for hospital and mental health facility construction in the first half of 1969.
