Taxpayers face mounting federal costs as population grows
Washington economists project a U.S. population peak of 158 million in 50 years and rising per capita federal costs. At current levels, taxes could average about $490 per person annually by 1988, with a family of three paying around $1,470 plus a share of near forty billion dollars in Treasury obligations. A columnist notes a proposed ideal family income of 2,500 may still leave most families paying more than half for government expenses.

Health Hints on Venereal Disease Control in Europe
British investigators report that in rural Scandinavia free venereal treatment is provided by town doctors with municipal support and state funded drugs and tests. Sweden keeps syphilis patients under long term care, but compulsory measures are not central to the decline in cases. Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Holland, and Britain show declines in syphilis but not in gonorrhea, suggesting compulsory treatment is not a key factor.
