Record Expansion Begins In The United States
The November start marks the 81st month of uninterrupted economic expansion, the longest since 1939 to 1945 and the postwar period up to 1961. Inflation stayed low early on, rising mainly in the last third due to Vietnam war spending. Gardner Ackley notes over 9 million jobs created, real income up 40 percent, and 5.2 percent annual growth. Tax cuts helped sustain growth, while Johnson’s proposal to raise taxes to cool the economy faces Congress as spending cuts take center stage.

Government runs gambling to curb crime says council leader
Carl M. Loeb Jr of New York, newly elected head of the National Council on Crime and Delinquency, argues for a government operated gambling service to wipe out organized crime profits from bookmaking and the numbers game. He opposes licensing or lotteries and suggests a 10 percent gross receipts write-off to cover costs and taxes. He likens legal gambling to lifting prohibition and bootlegging.
