Federal budget may stay in deficit without war end or tax hike
Budget Director Charles J. Zwick warned before the Joint Economic Committee that mandatory spending could push the fiscal plan to a $7.5 to $9 billion deficit if the war continues or the tax surcharge is extended. He outlined three major cost drivers and noted potential windfalls from growth, but warned the final balance hinges on war timing and White House policy.

Joseph Alsop analyzes potential political shifts after a Nixon victory. He predicts dramatic Senate changes with antiwar liberals endangered, a highly conservative House, and a rightward tilt shaped by Wallace voters.
