The House Ways and Means Committee killed the measure to allow guardsmen to retire with a tax exempt state pension atop federal retirement. Rep. Baldwin Jr. led the floor fight against it, with support from pension official Tatum Gressette. Opponents argued the plan would burden taxpayers and dilute the national force's purpose amid Vietnam era concerns.
Clouds cut light from social action efforts as industry zeal fades under economic pressure. Tight money and recession fears stall big business and industrial plant moves into slums face zoning and residential opposition. The hard core unemployed work goal remains distant, attracting interest but not progress.
A Wyoming columnist argues Republican John Wold of Casper should reconsider his bid for the Senate seat held by Gale McGee. The piece notes Wold’s youth, GOP service, and 1964 defeat, while critiquing McGee’s liberal drift and past pacifist funding, urging Republicans to focus on long-term party momentum for 1972.
The will of David Bowers Jr mentions a new house and adjacent acreage bought by Richard J. Hankinson as a wedding gift for his daughter Georgiana upon her marriage to Dr. John Milledge Galphin in 1832. The home features original 20-foot rooms, hand-hewn panelling, pegged floors, and imported hardware from England. A magnolia tower legend ties the site to a former belle and a suitor.
A political column condemns Fulbright and current US policy toward Laos and Southeast Asia. It argues NATO Britain and the Soviet Union hinder a realistic approach to stopping Communist aggression, labeling calls for neutralization as surrender and urging independent U.S. action. The piece blames Fulbright for shaping failed 1962 Geneva outcomes and warns that US restraint has prolonged war.
The speaker defends politicians as serious, nonpartisan decision makers driven by national duty and prayer rather than expediency. He contrasts real statesmen with mere politicians, noting many Congress members recognize the nation faces tremendous problems.
A reflective survey traces a leading liberal critic from radical youth to mature historian Will Durant. It outlines Durant’s shift from socialism to evolutionary views on society and morality, noting cultural decline in arts, education, and public life as civilization faces internal barbarians.
