William W. Broom as editor leads editorial page discussions in Long Beach California on Friday September 5 1967. The page notes associate editors and staff roles while outlining ongoing newsroom operations and local commentary.
Prof D Gale Johnson of Chicago University argues that global hunger can be eased by realistic agricultural programs funded by the 1966 Food for Peace Act. He says emergency aid should continue while shifting toward development, research, and education to reduce reliance on gifts and spur local farming.
The Milwaukee mayor Henry Maier faced criticism for allowing civil rights demonstrators to stage a sit-in in his office. Police were taunted as windows were broken and furniture damaged before ejecting protesters after hours. The editorial argues government must function despite protests and urges safeguards against similar chaos.
Readers discuss California records such as pay raises deficits and taxes noting Prop 1-A effects, a 1 billion plus budget, a 5 billion budget, and a 1 billion tax increase. They urge spending reform if Vietnam ends, and applaud court workload reforms based on juror experiences and Judge McCarthy guidance.
A Doonesbury style critique argues the teacher strikes undermine professional ethics as educators abandon students for wage demands. It contrasts teachers with Ford UAW labor action, noting widespread walkouts from New York to East St. Louis and Detroit. The piece questions the erosion of professional dedication and links labor costs to higher car prices.
James Kilpatrick argues that public school boards rely on city councils and taxpayers, while Detroit faces 11 000 teachers seeking a $1 200 raise. He notes New York teachers demand $7 200 starting pay, deeming the city offer inadequate, and predicts a minor raise with broader costs, questioning whether public respect is the real prize.
A private poll circulated to reporters suggests an independent peace candidate in 1988 could attract about six percent of GOF and Democratic voters each. The findings challenge liberal assumptions that such a ticket would mainly siphon from Johnson, with notable support among 21 to 29 year olds for both the President and Vietnam policy. The New Politics group viewed a third party as premature, yet some see potential impact in states like California and New York for Lyndon’s defeat.
Bruce Biossat surveys the Democratic fissure caused by the new left and antiwar momentum. Ted Kennedy warns the party risks lasting harm from youth radicalism, Vietnam's imprint on priorities, and intra party clashes with liberals aligned to Johnson.
Washington reports Gov George Romney of Michigan widened the credibility gap after his Saigon trip in 1965 and subsequent remarks. Romney faced questions over whether he was brain washed during his statements on the visit.
The piece discusses the Johnson administration's credibility gap over Vietnam policy.
