A 39 page Educational Testing Service report from Princeton calls for higher veterans benefits to cover college costs postwar. It argues postwar living costs were better supported by tuition payments and benefits not now available, but Veterans Affairs Administrator Donald Johnson disputes major changes. The current GI Bill is criticized as insufficient relative to average earnings, with a veteran's spouse earning more than 2400 dollars cited as a constraint.

CHAMPAIGN IL AP Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz says farm exports hold the key to lower food prices and steady farm income. He argues producing near capacity lowers production costs and allows prices to be more reasonable for consumers while sustaining farm earnings. He faults consumer and political pressure for price controls and notes some now mock those views as "insight prophets."
