The Bennington Banner, issued daily excluding Sundays and holidays, is published by Banner Publishing Corporation located at 425 Main Street in Bennington Vermont. The paper serves as the region’s daily record of news, notices, and community updates.
Western analysts see no real thaw between the Soviet Union and Communist China after Chou En-lai's Moscow visit. Beijing’s push for repudiation of peaceful coexistence failed, China widens influence in Africa and Asia, seeks UN observer status, and prompts a possible U N Security Council path to nuclear controls. The piece argues for a U S backed compromise in the UN to engage China and curb nuclear risk.
The Milton Canadian Champion notes Bennington considers a regional organization to plan water supply development, citing the town village split and lack of cohesive local government. It argues consolidation is needed but a regional approach may help surmount planning obstacles until then, urging progress and cooperation.
Washington officials warn that India's response to China's nuclear test could reshape Asia. Prime Minister Shastri rejects a nuclear bomb, while Homi Bhabha urges immediate device work amid parliamentary opposition. Polls in naval college shift support, with external pressures from the United States and Pakistan complicating security plans. A Humphrey visit to South Asia is anticipated to counterbalance China, while Indonesia reportedly hints at its own atomic plans, a claim that may be fictitious or a China influenced scare.
A new trend in U.S. politics centers on cost effectiveness as Secretary Freeman and subsequent administrations push for price supports or controls in farm policy. The $4 billion price support bill funds 3.5 million farmers, with 2.5 million poor farmers receiving about 20 percent, highlighting complexity and potential waste. Budget officials advocate permanent cost effectiveness studies across programs, including irrigation, veterans and merchant marine programs, and defense, to curb inefficiencies.
The piece argues defense funds should serve strictly military purposes, not political gain. It notes widespread protests over closing military bases, causing unemployment, with senators and representatives from both parties demanding re-examination of the cuts.
A UPI piece notes ultrasonic cleaning is proposed by the National Institute of Dry Cleaning with future promises of stain removal by high frequency waves. It then critiques how defense contracting is publicized during campaigns, citing McNamara policy shifts, base closings, and pay raises that offset any savings.
It is a salutary development to hear the Defense Department speak of efficiency rather than waste or political favoritism. Yet more proof is required to convince the public that funds are not used for political gain. The text argues that too much money has already been spent to secure electoral support in certain states.
