A bipartisan group of 31 House members backed by Rep. Wilbur Mills proposes eliminating 54 tax deductions between now and 1974. The plan aims to force separate votes on each provision, ending delays and addressing perceived loopholes amid political stakes.
The analysis notes Brezhnev's hold on power hinges on associates in the Soviet system. It contrasts Stalin's death, Khrushchev's removal, and possible shifts under Kosygin as premier. An American parallel likens autocratic tenure to political bosses losing elections, with removal by aides possible at any time. The piece ends with a biblical exhortation.
John Chamberlain argues the SALT agreements risk Soviet gains in throw-weight and MIRV tech. He says SRAM boosts U S deterrence by air and sea, notes differences in ABM limits, and warns against McGovern’sDefense stance while praising Nixon’s flexible strategy to deter a major war.
Tom Braden argues President Nixon should have added a band-aid clause to the Soviet SALT treaty to curb Defense Secretary Melvin Laird from pursuing new arms programs. He notes Laird’s support for Trident submarines, B-1 bombers, and submarine launched missiles, which SALT does not ban. Braden questions the need for new fleets if SALT limits ABMs and preserves a second strike capability.
The passage includes remarks by Gov. Gilligan and ex Mayor Wagner on shoplifting costs and political plans, plus defense debate. It cites Nixon aiming to curb the arms race, with skepticism toward costly missiles and submarine-launched options, and notes McGovern as Democratic rival.
Paul Harvey argues that legalizing gambling would not stop crime. He cites Las Vegas and Britain where gambling thrives despite security. He notes New York and other states show poor lottery results and back-room bets persist, urging tax-free winnings to deter crime.

Congress debates the SALT accord amid questions over Soviet 313 SS9 missiles and a potential move to multiwarhead large missiles.
