President Johnson marks the Peace Corps anniversary by proposing a cradle-to-old-age health and education program to aid the poor and elderly. He seeks 329 million dollars for school nutrition and 50 million for disadvantaged children, while warning of a swollen budget likely exceeding 200 billion dollars as federal spending expands.
A reflective March piece by Gertrude M. White Burnett opens with a poem on faith and life. The column then shifts to March mood swings, German spring industry visits, a Florida plane crash tragedy, and local redevelopment including the Magic Block clearance and Sears store expansion. It ends with a push from a bipartisan Citizens Committee for a $9.8 million bond issue to fund water, sewers, streets, lighting, and an improved city office building.
The article laments two inmates who escaped from Dorothea Dix Hospital in Raleigh causing three deaths. It condemns perceived lax security and calls for tighter controls on mental institutions to prevent such violent acts and protect the public.
Editorial notes the 20 year old program serves 18 million children across 71,000 publics and warns of federal cuts in fiscal 1967. It examines costs per meal, surplus food contributions, local support, rising prices, and potential selective aid for poorer districts amid a tight budget and political pressure.
Washington insiders describe Vice President HHH as making a strong impression in off the record Viet Nam talks. The column examines judicial conflicts of interest, citing Judge Henry J. Friendly who did not recuse himself in a case involving his prior legal representation of a litigant. Public reaction remains the check.
A column mocks Mrs Frances Humphrey Howard, sister of the vice president, who allegedly works for the state department. It recounts her trips and salary rumors and a blizzard incident in Columbus where she sought a police escort to Antioch College, then pressed Washington for access.
