Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - April 24, 1970, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it pleasant news fair two sections vol. 92, no. 97 it. Pleasant Iowa Friday evening april 24, 1970 Price to cents these Days by John Chamberlain the republicans ironical plight up until recently the unemployment rate has been a Cloud no bigger than a Many a hand in the political sky. Now the horizon is darkening a bit. A report from new England says that the drop in defense contracts will soon bring a loss of some 150,000 jobs mostly concentrated in Massachusetts and Connecticut. In California there have been big layoffs in the aerospace industries 22,000 at North american Rockwell 15,000 at Mcdonnell Douglas. Boeing in Seattle is another West coast company which has had to Cut Back. In Texas port Worth the Home of general dynamics has been feeling the heat in Indiana South Bend has been suffering in new York state Grumman in Bethpage is faced with the necessity of making a cutback. In election year terms this Means that by november we May cease to have Republican weather. For whether you figure it by Rule of thumb or by the Ripon society a fancy new slide Rule correlation which shows that for every one per cent increase in unemployment the republicans stand to lose fifteen congressional seats a it has been True Ever since the time of Herbert Hoover that the democrats thrive on economic downturns. Too this Means that senator Murphy of California who has been called a the Only conservative senator from a Large non Southern state a a has cause for worry in his fight for a second term. It also Means that Connecticut republicans who have an Opportunity to capitalize on the local disarray of the democratic party Arentt necessarily going to have it All that easy. In Indiana the South Bend problem wont Hurt the incumbent senator Vance Hartke who happens to be a demo Erat. As for Massachusetts sen Ator ted Kennedy a Democrat stands to win no matter what the economic Index says. In new York things Are complicated by the four party nature of its politics so Well leave that out of the picture. Texas too is a separate Story for the incumbent senator Yarborough has non economic difficulties inside his own party. Small component caused the trouble Quot go on space plans Washington up a the head of the space Agency said today the Apollo 13 failure had been traced tentatively to a a relatively simple components which can be fixed so easily the next Moon flight May go Forward without or. Thomas o. Paine appearing at a Senate hearing with two of Apollo 13 astronauts said a we expect that the Large Quantity and High Quality of Tel metered data received from the Apollo 13 spacecraft at the time of the Accident will permit a precise and Early identification of the causes of the too the administrator of the National aeronautics and space administration Nas added a the oxygen thermos flask believed to be involved is a relatively simple component and corrective action should not prove to be a major task. A if this turns out to be the Case we should be Able to move out promptly with the necessary alterations and proceed with Apollo 14 and subsequent flights on approximately the same schedule we have presented to you Paine said president Nixon a fully shares this View a that Apollo 13s troubles should not cause a cutback in the u. S. Space program. Too Paine and the Apollo 13 commander c Apt. James a. Lovell jr., and the late starting civilian Mem Ber of the team John l. Swigert jr., appeared before the Senate aeronautical and space sciences committee. The third Apollo 13 crewman Fred w. Haise jr., also a civilian was unable to attend. Too Paine said that during a flight with Nixon to Honolulu last saturday to meet the returning astronauts after their splashdown in the Pacific the Day before Nixon expressed his Strong support for a vigorous ongoing u. S. Space program particularly in manned space Congress already has indicated it feels the same. The House thursday passed nasal a 1971 budget allowing the Agency More Money than it requested. The Senate committee Cut the Nasa budget somewhat below administration requests but granted All the Money ear marked for the Apollo program. Paine said there was nothing in the Apollo 13 failure to give the nation pause in its drive to explore space. Attempt to kill Chiang in . New York a up a Chiang i Robert j Mccloskey also disclosed Ching Kuo eldest son and heir a j that Security Protection for Chiang Parent to nationalist chinese pres 1 will be increased during the re ident Chiang Kai Shek narrowly minder of his visit to the United escaped a would be Assassin s Bullet states today when the shot went wild. Chiang a vice Premier in his fathers government was entering a hotel to address a group of businessmen when a Young Man fired a hoi at the 60-year-old nationalist Leader. Police seized two men immediately and rushed them to a statehouse for questioning both men were Ori c Hiang who had just flown Here from Washington where he had met with president Nixon was coming through the revolving Glass door of the hotel when the shot was fired. It blew a Large Hole in the Glass. It was not immediately determined if the gunman had been part of a group of formosan Demon rentals and police identified one of j strafing outside the Plaza hotel at group discusses environmental pollution Earth Day activities at Wesleyan included a discussion about environment ii pollution matters at cranes Pond. Some 50 students took part in the get together led by faculty members Jerald Kinnamon Kenneth Robinson Bruce Birch and Foster Mattson. Them As Tzu Tea Cheng. In Washington the state department expressed Shock at the assassination attempt and issued an apology. Department spokesman three missing ii if the republicans should lose senatorial elections for economic reasons on two coasts it will be a transcendent irony. In California the Doc California democratic Council far left outfit has been Yelling about the Nasty military Industrial Complex. In Connecticut a democratic aspirant the Rev. Joe Duffey has Bren doing the same. But it is the Republican party under Nixon that has been doing something to Cut Back military spending. This should win Nixon Good Marks from leftists. Instead of praising Nixon for Good works however we May be certain that senator George Murphy a opponent in California will blame the republicans for firing the worker beneficiaries of such members of the Industrial military Complex As North american Rockwell and Mcdonnell Douglas. And the Rev. Duffey in Connecticut would hardly be caught suggesting that the Republican candidate for senator whether he be Lowell Weicker or John Lupton or someone else deserves Praise for representing the Only party that has really done anything since 1910 about reducing defense spending. If Murphy in California is opposed by representative George Brown who is the cd cd a special pet he can expect no mercy whatsoever on the score of local unemployment regardless of where it originates. Nor would representative John Tunney the a Light weight son of heavyweight Gene Tunney a be much More considerate if he wins the democratic nomination. About All that Murphy will be Able to say is a boy this is the sort of unemployment you were asking for. Now you Are blaming it on increase in room rates at University Iowa City up a tile University of Iowa announced thursday new increases in University residence Hall rates. For the 1970-71 school term yearly rates for a triple or double room and 20 meals a week will be $1,080. A. Increase of $40. In addition room cleaning service will be $46 a year. The University also announced it would close a cafeteria in Burge dormitory. N Daylight time j a a arrives sunday Washington up a Daylight saving time arrives sunday bringing with it the annual confusion Over which Ivay to turn the clock. The answer a turn it ahead one hour. Just remember the Handy i formula that goes a Spring Forward fall you move the clock Forward in the Spring and turn it Back in the fall. The real joker is that the cd cd a George Brown would like to see economic cutbacks extended All across the Board to the consumer product industries As Well As to the military Industrial Complex. He has been telling panel discussion audiences that the u. S. Has a reached the end of the line for the old affluent society. We need no More enhancement of the Gross National product or military in Short Brown is the hippie candidate. If he is put into office by people who desperately want jobs it will be the laugh of the Century. Distributed by King features Syndicate the crazy quilt of time zones that once marked the annual change Tost has All but vanished. The reason is the uniform time act of 1966. Under the Law Congress made Observance of St automatic unless a state legislature a greed to exempt the entire state from the changeover. That put an end to situations where parts of some states would observe St while some counties or cities did no to. Cities sometimes observed different time than the counties around them. Too Only three states a Arizona Hawaii and Michigan will remain on Standard time when the rest of the nation officially goes on St at 2 . Sunday. The a fall backs occurs sunday oct. 25. The arguments Over Daylight time Are Long and varied. Transportation interests such As railroads and the airlines Are the biggest backers of St. The railroads actually set up the first time zones in 1883, Congress made them official in 1918 and then passed mandatory St Laws in both world wars. Too children usually like St since it Means More free time before it gets dark. For drive in movie operators the sooner it gets dark the better for business. And most Farmers also would rather have the extra Daylight in the morning. Some places just done to care much a especially Point Barrow Alaska the Northern most spot in the United states. It has constant Daylight from mid May to mid july.
