President Carter frames a comprehensive inflation fight as a bold national campaign. He promises imaginative initiatives and vows to veto measures he deems ineffective as he steps forward to lead the effort.
The article critiques President Carter’s inflation plan and budget stance, noting a projected 60 billion dollar next fiscal year deficit and a cabinet pay freeze. It highlights Senate Budget Committee opposition and Republican tax-cut proposals, framing a partisan clash amid the 1978 political contest.
The White House signals Carter may change his stance on producing the neutron bomb amid European pressure. Genscher and NATO allies push for deployment, arguing Warsaw Pact forces require a battlefield weapon. Critics warn, however, that delaying or abandoning the warhead risks undermining NATO and provoking Soviet concessions in arms talks.
The piece argues Anwar el-Sadat exaggerates his war gains in 1973, claiming a decisive Egyptian victory despite Israeli counteractions. It criticizes his portrayal of ceasefire motives, notes reliance on foreign arms, and disputes his reading of UN Security Council Resolution 242 and its implications for a future peace talks framework.
Patricia Smith describes a frustrating Bureau of Motor Vehicles experience in Middletown over van registration. She details being told to buy $90 commercial plates, struggles to reclassify a customized Ford van as a house vehicle or station wagon, and the red tape encountered with title changes and multiple forms. She notes a correction finding the van qualifies as non commercial, but the title change occurred too late. She anticipates May 1 for renewing licenses for the van and a car.
A letter from Robert D. Oulesby of Middletown Hamilton Rd challenges a Journal article about Amanda history. He notes Amanda lies east of Ohio 4 along Oxford State Road, denies any request to assemble new information, says he authored the Bicentennial manuscript and handed it to Lemon Township trustees, and suggests public interest by organizations could determine publication. He cites Adam Dickey Sr as his great grandfather and mentions family records.
