The founder of the Herald, Arthur Jenkins, declares in the first issue dated January 15, 2877 that the publication will pursue an independent course. He pledges to discuss public questions and support leaders and measures best for the people, beyond party politics.
The coal industry and private electric companies used scare tactics to defeat a strip mining regulation bill. President Ford vetoed the measure on May 20, citing fears of job losses and higher electricity costs, while industry campaigns claimed widespread unemployment and rising bills. The administration aimed to seek a collaborative environmental and reclamation program with Congress.
The Federal Trade Commission pushes price advertising rules that could let buyers compare drug costs, while New York stores already post prices. Industry argues cost and job losses may follow, but researchers cited say impacts are limited and long term shifts may improve coal mining employment and energy plans.
The Senate faces a stalled recount dispute over 27 ballots from the 1974 New Hampshire race. Louis C. Wyman leads Democrat John A. Durkin by two votes, with eight Rules Committee members deadlocked on counting methods. A partisan outcome could declare Durkin the winner.
The Italian Communist Party hopes for gains over the Christian Democrats as regional elections approach. Foreign observers doubt the forecast citing potential reluctance to empower a party that could prompt US and Western Europe to curb Italy aid. If correct the Christian Democrats may lose three percent, with Socialists gaining and possibly rejoining the ruling coalition.
A scanned newspaper masthead lists the Syracuse Herald-Journal staff including Stephen Rogers as publisher and William D. Cotter as editor with various department heads and editors such as Karl McElroy, Robert Hennessey, and Edward Sabine. It also names advertising and circulation directors, plus several editors and writers.
Caroline Dunn of LaFayette argues parking tickets deter shoppers more than any factor, recounting multiple fines and a car left downtown overnight that still drew a ticket. She urges reconsideration of how tickets affect consumer spending and questions education board judgments.
The writer argues the June edition editorial titled Full Value misleads about veteran aid. The letter asserts GI insurance refunds are an improper focus for exemptions while compensation for service injuries and survivors pensions are the main sources. It notes the 1,400 figure is omitted.
Henry Kindt of the Onondaga County Veterans Council argues veterans face exemptions despite many eligible not applying. He notes average exemption around 500 dollars with few near the 5000 maximum. Mantins Town increases property values within the law. Since 1972, county veteran leaders push for corrective legislation from six assemblymen and two senators but fail.
The speaker argues that when major bodies like the American Nurses Association and the National Education Association endorse higher preparation for school nursing, it is unprofessional and unethical for individuals to claim they perform the school nurse teacher function without appropriate training.
A senior citizen complains that tax assessors ignored the senior exemption and raised the assessment by $3,000, causing a tax increase of 28 percent despite a 19 percent general rise and an exemption of $6,500. The writer notes a miscalculation of $92.55 from 1974 taxes and argues the exemption should lower bills.
Opinion argues the United States and other oil buyers can counter price abuses by leveraging the goods and services they supply to OPEC nations. It recommends a systematic export inventory and cooperative, negotiated access controls on technology to balance interests without military action.
Dorothy M. Raus of the New York State School Nurse-Teachers Association argues that nurse-teachers must be certified as both RNs and teachers to legally perform health duties in schools. She notes uncertified nurses may not discuss health findings with students or staff or liaison with welfare agencies, underscoring the nurse-teacher as the sole qualified health professional in schools.
East Syracuse Minoa School District announces summer music lessons and band rehearsals for students. Schedules will be mailed and lessons start July 1. For conflicts or omissions contact Mr. Orlando Reitano at ESM High School 656-7242.
President Ford shifts criminal matters to the Justice Department and political questions to a Senate committee, separating the White House from alleged CIA assassination plots. He defends the CIA as essential to defense while deeming an unfinished Rockefeller Commission report too sensitive to publish. The material moves to Attorney General Levi for possible prosecutions and to Congress for further inquiry.
