An opinion piece critiques General Hershey’s plan to draft lower ranked college students and defer high achievers, calling it unfair. It argues the policy punishes elite colleges and rewards easier curricula, cites Brandeis professors’ opposition, and favors a lottery system as the fairest method.
A Vermont editor argues that banning junkyards on major highways helps tourism yet ignores back roads used by locals. The piece urges towns to adopt strict zoning, notes Bennington’s reluctance, and welcomes a traveling car crushing machine as a practical solution. It suggests statewide action and possible future rocket disposal, urging lawmakers to consider a mobile junked car crusher.
Few of America s willing workers are presently without employment. The job less total fewer than in many years. One reason is that higher draft calls have depleted the labor pools of young men. Though many young students graduating from high school or college this coming spring will enter military training, those whose turn does not come up this year will have a much easier chance of finding work than has been true for a long time. Even in Vermont, work is available.
Humphrey defends Viet Nam stance and policy unity with Johnson. A long analysis traces his liberal leadership, Asia diplomacy, and pivotal 1964 Atlantic City convention tie to the president.

An opinion piece argues the Soviet Union sped ahead in space beyond the moon race, citing Venus probes and a Proton I orbit, while warning American credulity on arms and anti missile defenses. It questions U S assumptions as Gen Power and Schlafly Ward warn of gigaton lunar threats.
A reader warns that inflation stems from more dollars and credit in circulation rather than wage or price pushes. The piece argues money rot comes from how extra dollars are created and notes the gradual abolition of the silver standard after ending the gold standard era.
The piece explains how paper money emerges via government bonds sold to banks and the public. It argues that bonds finance spending without explicit tax hikes, expanding the national debt while bank credits back the new dollars and deposits. It frames the process as borrowing without tax levies, inflating the money supply through bank-created credit.
A columnist predicts a nationwide chain-reaction auto wreck across interstates within years, starting with an Iowa collision and widening coast to coast.

It ends with a consumer anecdote about a faulty clock and a store discount sign.
