Treasury Secretary Henry H Fowler warned of a 1968 budget deficit near 11 billion and urged Congress to raise the permanent debt limit by 29 billion to 365 billion. He suggested using temporary ceilings to fund war costs while cautioning against a lump-sum raise.
Space program technology using infrared film radar and aerial photography can identify soil moisture crop yield disease and pest patterns within minutes. Dr. George L. Mehren calls it the greatest breakthrough of the century with potential to transform agriculture and food production.
The House rejected a bill to raise the national debt ceiling from 336 to 365 billion dollars in a 210 to 197 vote. Republicans opposed, joined by some Southern Democrats and antiwar Northern Democrats. Congress will likely propose another bill, but without changes the debt could hit the permanent 285 billion limit if not raised before June 30. The column argues the debt ceiling is ineffective and calls for cutting appropriations or raising taxes, or discarding the ceiling entirely.
In a critical analysis Joseph Alsop notes Egypt under Gamal Abdel Nasser expanded gas attacks in Yemen after June 4, including nerve gas, while suffering a humiliating Sinai defeat. The piece links these actions to Nasser’s weakened position, debt to the Soviet Union, depleted foreign reserves, and strategic leverage from Israel over the Suez Canal.
Fairfield University in Connecticut offers 30 acres from its 200 acre campus valued at 500000 dollars to a women's college that can use it. The trend grows as men and women colleges share campuses faculties and facilities while preserving distinct identities.
In Camara v San Francisco and Lee v Seattle the Supreme Court ruled 6 3 against broad government entry without warrants. Both defendants refused access to their properties amid housing and fire-safety inspections and won, limiting bureaucratic intrusion.
The Messenger recalls 25 years ago when Mayor Floyd F. Green laid off half of Columbus police and fire personnel amid a municipal budget crisis after voters rejected a 2.5 mill levy that would raise $900,000. The piece also covers varied topics from coal chemistry proposals in Athens County to Wright at Cincinnati and broader Supreme Court sanitation and warrant debates.
James Marlow argues the peace settlement will be lengthy and cites U S and Soviet actions. Moscow presses for restoring prewar borders while Israel resists. Johnson's May 23 stance remains ambiguous as UN Security Council abstentions block the Soviet plan. Debate moves to the General Assembly amid growing international tension.
Britain restricts campaign duration for national elections while the public sees no extra burden on ordinary candidates. In the United States John J. Williams argues that sharply shortening presidential campaigns would not necessarily cut overall costs and could disadvantage the challengers facing an incumbent.
