Governor Ray backs a mixed plan raising income taxes to curb property taxes and implement a school aid foundation, phased in over three years. Legislature prefers sales tax, but a combination of taxes with fairness safeguards is recommended, ensuring fair income tax and credits for low and fixed incomes.
West Berlin saw a 90 percent turnout among 1,659,806 eligible voters in a municipal election. The contest carried national overtones amid crisis, partisan lines, and West Germany’s Cold War context as Chancellor Willy Brandt framed it as a test of policy toward East Europe and the Soviet Union.
Governor Ray backed the ombudsman role with Larry Carstensen guiding relief in a Red Oak case. The former policeman wounded in the line of duty now awaits state or city responsibility while his family struggles on a 300 dollar monthly income. A neutral arbiter brought rapid action, exposing stubborn standoffs and urging accountability by both jurisdictions.
Ex White House lobbyist Bryce Harlow and his daughter Peggy, 28, work in pollution matters. Harlow left the White House to lobby for Procter and Gamble, while Peggy, paid 17760 a year, is appointed by the Nixon administration as executive assistant to Water Quality Commissioner Dominick and claims disassociation from Procter and Gamble issues.
President Nixon says he will not beat industry over the head to quit polluting. If industry fails to move quickly, government or public will take tougher action. Government tardiness and rising consumer costs are noted as obstacles as the President and Congress begin to act more vigorously.

Nobel laureate Jacques Monod argues in Le Hazard et La Necessite that life arises from random mutation and Darwinian selection, denying any universal plan.
