Agnew optimistic on Watergate impact for GOP
Vice President Spiro Agnew told UPI in a U.S. News interview that Republican candidates could avoid harm if Watergate is fully resolved before the 1974 midterms. He warned a lingering scandal would hurt the party as cover up discussions undermine confidence and urged completion for public consciousness. He criticized the Senate inquiry as producing inference and said a grand jury investigation should finish before any further political action. Agnew, a potential 1976 GOP presidential contender, said he has not decided to run but would enter to win if he does.

Administration proposes $600 million richer tax plan for the very rich
Treasury Secretary George P. Shultz outlined a White House tax reform aimed at raising taxes on millionaires to curb avoidance while stressing investment incentives. The plan includes a 12 percent cost deduction for domestic oil exploration and new credits for parents with private school costs, plus broad reform elements. Critics, including liberals, warn of loopholes and revenue losses, while Shultz argues the reforms would reduce tax avoidance and curb aggressive shelter schemes.
