The Bluefield Daily Telegraph presents a page of columns offering a range of editorial and political viewpoints. Except for the directly adjacent column, the pieces do not necessarily mirror the newspaper's own stance.
Postal unions push for higher wages and benefits could lift first class letters to at least 40 cents by 1983, with rates already rising from 15 to 18 cents. The Postal Service warns higher costs may drive traffic to private carriers and phasing out of mail as technology and banks cut letter use. Reagan and Bush speaking to black leaders failed to bridge views on federal aid and economic strategies, signaling continued communication gaps.
William L. Rusher exposes how NASA quietly embedded a 60 million, 10 year SETI program in the 1979 budget by labeling it under Exobiology. Senate Appropriations stripped the item, golden fleece awards followed, and FOIA later revealed a 232 page plan for 50.9 million over a decade.
A letter discusses race relations as a boil that flares unexpectedly and requires careful treatment. It warns against aggressive cures and urges measured steps, ending with a church hymn and a note from G T Brock of the CARri committee in Princeton West Virginia. It follows with attacks on Senator Byrd over black lung funding and a NASA SETI briefing naming Donald DeVincenzi.
The piece argues Marcos drifted from democracy to dictatorship after martial law in 1972. It notes rigged elections, political imprisonments, exile of Benigno Aquino, and a mandatory voting law used to bolster a sham democratic process amid a turnout boycott. It cites U.S. concerns about George H W Bush’s toast and its impact on credibility.
U S foreign aid officials admit payoffs to local officials and lax oversight. Auditors flag five cases with waste totaling at least $512 million, including Sahel hunger program shortages, Upper Volta farmers project failing to show results, and Ethiopia food aid rotting unsold in warehouses due to transport and monitoring failures.
