Campaign Reform Has Little Punch
Washington AP reports that despite a Watergate era drive for tighter election controls the new reform law lacks enforcement as no members have been named to the Federal Election Commission three months after signing. Critics say appointments appear cronyistic and stall enforcement, leaving candidates without guidance and possible jail risk for noncompliance. The commission would set limits, issue opinions, and sue to enforce, while criminal cases stay with the Justice Department. House and Senate leaders have offered no fresh appointments, fueling disillusionment among reform advocates.

Washington AP figures from the Agriculture Department show a typical four person family can buy up to 150 in food stamps monthly, while the cost to feed that family reaches 157.20. President Ford’s proposed changes would raise the net income share to 30 percent starting March 1, potentially cutting federal costs by at least 215 million in the remaining fiscal year.

Competition In Space Seen
Washington AP reports American space observers speculate the Soviet Union may mount a second cosmonaut crew in orbit during the July joint U.S. Russian manned space mission. Salyut 4’s long orbital life could allow multiple crews over the year, with Soyuz 17 possibly visiting for 30 to 60 days. NASA sees no evidence of a manned Salyut in July but does not rule it out.
