Senate Republican Leader Everett Dirksen says overturning the Supreme Court ban on school prayer is the biggest issue of his life and aims to push a constitutional amendment through the Senate judiciary subcommittee this week.

Also, aging investigators report the War on Poverty fails the seven million elderly poor, faulting the Office of Economic Opportunity for lacking authority to aid the elderly poor.
