U.N. Charter to be Revised by Membership Expansion
Amendments to expand the Security Council from 11 to 15 members and the Economic and Social Council from 18 to 27 will take effect soon. The U.S. Senate ratified on June 3, 1971, 71-0, as part of revisions reflecting growing global membership and Asian and African influence. The five permanent members retain veto power on non-procedural matters, while new voting dynamics will require seven negative votes to defeat a resolution without a veto.

Johnson’s Labor Proposals Split Focus with 14(b) Clash
President Johnson’s May labor message centers on two main ideas the repeal of Taft Hartley section 14 b and broad wage and unemployment reforms. The administration seeks to extend minimum wage and overtime to millions in diverse industries and revamp federal state unemployment with higher benefits and longer duration funded by higher employer taxes. Repeal faces the fiercest fight in Congress while wage and unemployment plans are likely to face adjustments and uncertain passage in 1965.
