First Order of Business. However, if Johnson is hoping that his tough measures will spur Mills to swifter action on the tax increase, he may be in for a disappointment. In announcing his program at the ranch, the President declared, largely for Mills's benefit, "No business before the returning Congress will be more urgent than this: to enact the anti-inflation tax which I have sought for almost a year." But Mills and several Ways and Means colleagues are still deeply disturbed at the rate of Government spending, and they do not intend to move the tax surcharge...

...Jews. He is a patsy for just about any call for a benefit performance or public function-a dinner for an old friend, a White House invitation, a sports-award shindig. Sometimes, when a benefit fails to raise its quota, Bob will write a personal check for the difference. Though he gets $20,000 to $25,000 for a college date, he always turns the check back to the college scholarship fund...
