The postal reform plan across seven AFL-CIO national unions risks collapse as independent unions challenge exclusive bargaining. House passage of an alternative bill would leave bargaining to the National Labor Relations Board, triggering threats of new strikes and undermining the reform. Postmaster Blount backs the AFL-CIO stance, while independents risk liquidation under a fiat system. Recovery hinges on a rare compromise prioritizing public interest over factional gains. The piece also critiques Nixon era White House staff growth and Executive privilege shaping administration openness. Buckminster Fuller is cited on automotive toll versus war history.
A columnist reflects on June as school ends and a career of teaching ends. He notes the openness and honesty of today’s youth, contrasts White House staff dynamics under Nixon with past administrations, and ends with a personal note about missing the students he has taught this year.
The Nixon era proposal to tax lead additives in gasoline aimed to raise 1.6 billion and cut air pollution. Critics warn political rhetoric masks real costs. Bennington residents are urged to attend a courthouse hearing at 7:30 tonight for details and impact.
The piece argues three corporate links drive environmental bill resistance led by Ethyl Corporation in Louisiana with Russell Long and John Williams, Dow Chemical in Arkansas with Wilbur Mills, and calls for a frank, high turnout vote on a village charter next Tuesday. It likens pollution concerns to the military industrial complex and urges broad public participation.
Frank Mankiewicz and Tom Braden explain Arthur Goldberg faces a tough June 23 Democratic primary against Howard Samuels. Samuels, backed by liberal left critics, built support with Vietnam hawk stances and Johnson era ties. Goldberg, solid on policy, is seen as dull but proven, while voter turnout and enthusiasm could decide the race.
