In a blunt rebuke the editorial board urges cutting state expenditures rather than raising taxes. It attacks a proposed up to three tenths of one percent personal income tax increase and corporate asset tax refiguring as harmful to industry and calls for across the board austerity, including cuts to the governor and legislators pay.
A former Washington column reports on 35 American detainees in Bolivian jails held for months or years without trial on drugs charges. It notes U S aid to Bolivian drug law enforcement, alleged police brutality, and substandard prison conditions while detailing State Department findings that rights abuses occur but prisoners are not uniquely worse than locals. It also covers new U S oversight threats and embassy legal support.
Sylvia Porter notes in 1977 the employee and employer Social Security tax at 5.85 percent on a $16,500 base will total $965.25, more than doubling since 1972 and up 50 percent from 1973. Self employed pay $1,303.25. The article highlights rising taxes for middle income earners and critiques Carter administration policy.
The letter argues Social Security taxes bite deeply into incomes for workers and businesses, calling the system regressive as the burden rises across income levels. It cites examples of a married couple with two or five children paying substantial Social Security in lieu of income tax and warns that Social Security now accounts for about a quarter of federal taxes, urging Congress to consider broader reforms beyond rate and base changes.
A 1977 King Features column by Jim Bishop describes Idi Amin as a murderous autocrat ruling Uganda, detailing his overthrown government, army purges, stated rights abuses, and reported eccentric and brutal acts. The piece notes economic collapse, foreign involvement, and international reactions, including comments by U.S. figures and Lloyd’s insurance caution.
In a CBS remake of the Bogart Hepburn classic, Warren Oates and Mariette Hartley star in a one hour caper set in German East Africa as World War I looms. The plot centers on a 75mm cannon move and a boat chase on the Ulanga River filmed in the Florida Everglades.
