Revenue Sharing Faltering Amid Hostile Congress
Washington reports that Nixon's six special revenue sharing plans totaling $11 billion are stalled in a Congress seen as hostile. The general revenue share of $5 billion also faces heavy opposition in the House Ways and Means Committee, with other committees showing limited momentum. Prospects for progress this year look dim as hearings and veto fears shape the discourse. In a separate note, Genames officers in Schenectady announce Richard B. Belkin as vice president and general manager of GE Broadcasting Co. stations locally.
