Lingering Hunger. The subcommittees are understandably perplexed about why, despite U.S. agricultural abundance and food-relief programs, some Americans still go hungry. It was the Senate group, chaired by Pennsylvania Democrat Joseph Clark, that visited the Mississippi Delta in April and reported "emergency" hunger conditions. The following month, in a survey commissioned by the Field Foundation, a team of physicians examined more than 600 Mississippi Negro children and found "obvious evidence of severe malnutrition." Two weeks ago, Freeman undertook his own "look, learn and listen" excursion to Mississippi and Alabama as part of a four-state tour to study rural...
...Attorney General Tom Clark persuaded Harry Truman to grant him broader powers in the use of electronic eavesdropping gadgets. Now, 20 years later, another Attorney General named Clark has ordered a drastic curtailment of the use of bugging and wiretapping in investigations by federal agencies. This Clark is Tom's son Ramsey...
...Ramsey Clark laid down the new rules in response to a 1965 order from President Johnson, who insisted that eavesdropping by Government agents be "fully in accord with the law and with a decent regard for the rights of others."

...inches, the death penalty is dying in the U.S. It has been abolished or drastically restricted in 13 states. U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark has publicly stated his opposition. Executions have declined from an alltime recorded high of 199 in 1935 to seven in 1965 and one last year. There has been only one so far this year (TIME, April 21), and now a major legal assault has been mounted in an attempt to make that execution the last...
Gurney's answer was to go public. Forming the "All American Racers Eagle Club," he peddled memberships at $15 apiece, by this month had raised $13,000-and entered one car at Spa. One was enough. Starting in the middle of the first row, he trailed Jimmy Clark's Lotus-Ford and Jackie Stewart's B.R.M. through the first 20 laps, then roared into the lead and pulled away to win by 63 sec. despite a balky, smoking engine. The victory earned Dan nine points toward the Grand Prix championship that he has never managed...
