An editorial lauds Vermont’s historic stance against slavery and its early pledge of equal citizenship while praising the Vermont New York summer project. It recounts the Irasburg incident’s impact, notes a House hearing on a $50,000 biracial youth program, and highlights a touching camp anecdote of cross cultural aid. The piece urges continuation and private funding, framing the effort as a small but vital step toward lasting racial harmony.
In New York four power talks show cautious US optimism as Israel faces pressure from rocket fire and raids. King Hussein warns Washington that world opinion could push peace, while Egypt's Nasser and Arab leaders resist concessions. The plan links Sinai DMZ and UN patrol to a negotiated peace, though many doubt a breakthrough.
The author critiques competing claims about a proposed fast breeder reactor in Easton New York. Leaders like Sen George Aiken voice skepticism while others push for Congress approval and detailed licensing studies. Interviews with experts cite uncertainties about site selection safety and the broader need for energy, with multiple possible locations discussed.
A U S Atomic Energy Commission release describes a Maryland firm selected for a contract to develop a radioisotope heat source subsystem for an implantable heart device. The description mentions fuel encapsulation, insulation, a heat exchanger, and containers, using language that may confuse nonexperts and mask uncertainties.
The American Civil Liberties Union urged removal of references to God from Army character guidance courses, deeming them unconstitutional indoctrination. The piece questions God’s supposed residency at the Pentagon and argues about religion in military moral guidance with a satirical tone.
An ad from Such-and-Such Bank mocks tax collectors as threatening monsters labeled City Taxes State Taxes and Federal Taxes. It urges using an income tax loan while critiquing rising levies and wasteful government spending. The piece ends with a cheery tax season greeting.
A four power peace formula is seen as the best pause before a lasting settlement in the Middle East. It envisions a Sinai demilitarized zone under UN patrol, border rectifications trading nonessential Israeli land for military strongpoints, and some joint Jerusalem control, contingent on direct Israeli Arab negotiations on recognition.
A satirical column suggests billionaire Howard Hughes might invest in Nevada real estate because Las Vegas could someday become a seaport if California sank. The writer jokes about doomsday dates, shoreline shifts near Reno and Las Vegas, and the comedic notion of oceanfront property for gamblers and ruin.
Israelis see two paths for President Nixon before a King Hussein decision. Urge direct negotiations with Israel and offer aid upon settlement, or wait for Four Power talks. A peace with Jordan hinges on Nixon extending support, troop adjustments near Tel Aviv, and Iraqi and Egyptian alignments, while guarding against Fedayeen threats.
The text compares two 1967 crises, noting Israel learned in May that the U S would not guarantee its borders and must act alone. A high official warns that Israeli soldiers retreating from the Jordan River would force responsibility on the current generation to secure peace, even if the choice is wrong.
