"I don't think either of the major political parties has faced up to the realities of the urban crisis," Humphrey said. "I suggest we quit talking about the urban crisis and put it as the crisis, because America is essentially urbanized."

McGOVERN discarded most of his prepared text to attack the war in Vietnam and to defend his proposals to cut the defense budget by 1975, and to discuss his tax reforms to close loopholes.
In support of his defense budget, he said, "We need a new definition of national defense, which goes beyond the size of our country. We need a definition which understands that the defense of a city, the defense of a country, is as closely tied to the quality of its goals, the health of its people, the services that are provided."
On the war, he said, "Ending that war is the precondition of any hopes for our cities here at home."

WASHINGTON (AP)—In an attempt to help grocery shopers get more for their money, the Food and Drug Administration will force disclosure of how much seafood is in food cocktails.
The federal agency said its new proposal, if implemented, could shortcut by up to 10 years the present bureaucratic procedure that requires an amount of a prime ingredient, rather than percentage labeling.
But, in its closing votes, the Senate beat back several Republicans and pushed the administration views. Some GOP senators said they believed another veto was likely if the bill was approved by the White House in its present form.
The measure was substantially modified from a 1971 version in an effort to meet objections of the governor and last year's measure with a veto.
Senate Passes by Wide Margin $3 Billion Day Care Measure
The Senate vote forwarded the legislation to the House. So far it has been approved by a committee in that branch has given no indication of when it plans to be passed.

Nixon, last year, objected to provisions that would have authorized groups to allow groups in towns of 5,000 or more to qualify. He complained that the plan for thousands of local sponsors was invalid.
As the bill was originally written, it gave local sponsors such as school systems and churches the primary right to set up and run the day care centers. The plan was also an institution which was carried with votes of Republican and Southern Democratic senators.
