Editorial urges action before Wednesday vote in Congress on overriding President Nixon’s veto. Proposed rises would lift the minimum wage to 2 dollars an hour on November 1 and 2.20 next July, with inflation and unemployment concerns cited as main objections. Telegrams and calls to representatives are urged to sway the outcome.
Holmes Alexander assesses Nixon's second State of the Union as a somber yet timely appeal to Congress. He credits the president with a disciplined push to balance the budget, use veto and impoundment to curb spending, and present a plan for federal restraint. The piece notes Nixon’s timing, resilience, and calls for a congressional renaissance amid past year’s woes.
The essay frames Salvador Allende as a new leftist martyr amid Chile’s coup turmoil. It links his death to broader regional tensions, faulting U.S. involvement and predicting continued violence, polarization, and economic ruin. It notes Allende’s socialist reforms and the deepening split between anti and pro Communist factions.
A witty column argues pantsuits shift from mere wardrobe to political statement. It traces presidential reactions from Nixon to Johnson, notes fashion as necessity for mobility, and celebrates women choosing wear from grandmothers to teenagers while defending the right to dress freely.
CAUTION ON BANKING CHANGES Among the items of important national business virtually ignored by the Congress as a result of preoccupation with the Watergate affair are the recommendations for change in the U.S. financial system prepared by the U.S. Treasury Department. The plan would transform the financial system, affect individuals and companies, and was sent to Congress by President Nixon on Aug. 3. It urges liberalization of commercial banks and thrift institutions and expanded powers for credit unions, plus tax credits for mortgages. A veteran banker warns the proposals could spark a battle royal among banks, savings and loan associations, and mutuals, risking a repeat of 1930s instability. Congress should study carefully as the dollar weakens and public confidence erodes.
Hayakawa discusses psychologically healthy individuals as aware of and acting on their emotions. He cites Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow on self concept, unknowns, and openness, arguing that embracing ambiguity fuels creativity and progress. He contrasts risk taking with the fear of mistakes, urging experimentation over conformity.
Washington columnist argues John Connally questions Supreme Court supremacy and its reach into executive power. He cites Watergate as illustration and warns courts expanding into legislation and policy threaten elected officials and public control.
Veterans Administration plans to dismiss a Brockton Massachusetts supervisor accused of sexual relations with a subordinate and advancing advances toward another worker.
