Tax On Top Of Tax May Prove Self-Defeating
President Johnson proposes raising Social Security payments by 20 percent, but critics warn the added Social Security tax could exceed the income tax increase for millions of middle and lower income Americans. Rep. Mills resists allowing Social Security to rise above 10 percent of wages, while the base may need to climb from 6 600 to about 10 000 to fund new pensions. Employers would pass costs to consumers, risking inflation and higher living costs as Congress weighs a 5 7 billion surtax alongside Social Security changes.

Editorial on pacification and rural stability in South Vietnam
The piece argues that defeating main-force Communist units will not end the war but may allow root-out efforts against roughly 150,000 guerrillas posing as civilians. It stresses village support, civilian advisers, and rebuilding the social and economic fabric to win peasant allegiance. It traces Vietnam’s pacification history from Diem to Revolutionary Development and the need for disciplined Vietnamese battalions.
