Controversy Over May Day Demonstrations in Washington
The Monroe Jews-Star reports on the May Day antiwar protests in Washington. Police Chief Jerry Wilson ordered mass arrests to keep the government open, with Administration backing. Attorney General Mitchell and Richard Kleindienst defend the actions while Kennedy criticized police rounding up bystanders. Coordinators for Peace and Justice call Nixon a hoodlum, but the piece notes the police thwarted the demonstrators and offers tactical lessons for other cities.

Vocational training urged as education reshaped
A Committee for Economic Development study argues current education fails to prepare youths for work. It notes only about one billion dollars of the fifty billion spent on education goes to vocational training despite rising demand for practical skills and new vocational schools.
Education reform debate centers on vocational training need
A committee argues modern schooling is less functional and urges changes emphasizing vocational education to help millions who cannot or will not attend college. It rejects claims that vocational training is a minority shunt and notes many skilled trades offer good pay, such as plumbing and electrical work.
Time to Visit National Parks Draws Millions This Summer

Humphrey 60th Birthday Gala Draws Political Money Behind Bid
At the Madison Hotel in Washington about 200 guests in formal wear attended Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey’s 60th birthday party on May 26. The guest list leaned toward big donors and fundraisers from across the country, signaling Humphrey’s growing financial edge over Muskie for the 1972 primary. Several California financiers and other major figures pledged support, while some guests indicated loyalty to Muskie or the Humphrey camp. The event featured a non political tone, but a standing ovation followed Edie Adams’s toast as Humphrey pondered the 1972 decision.

Playing Russian Roulette with Nuclear Strategy
The piece argues the SALT talks are overshadowed by continuing strategic risks. It reviews early certainty about Soviet ICBMs, cites late 1960 satellite data, and warns against complacency. It examines SS-9 deployments, potential larger missiles, and the danger of misreading Tallinn missile sites as not constituting an ABM system.
