...solve their troubles with the Government-most concern welfare and Social Security payments-Harlem's residents are appealing to state and city agencies. Only rarely do they write to the luxurious four-room suite that Powell used to occupy in the new Rayburn House Office Building n Washington. Two secretaries, a tiny remnant of the staff that Powell once commanded as a Congressman and chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee, remain in the office to answer mail...
...North Georgia's Cherokee County (pop. 25,700), where many of Rusk's relatives still live, the reaction was tempered but unmistakably negative. "As far as I'm concerned," said Cousin Harold Rusk, 51, a feed and poultry dealer, "I'd rather people marry somebody of their own race." "But," he added, "that's their business." Cousin Ernest Stone, owner of a service station, was more emphatic: "I think he should've done something about it, not let it get this far. He should've prevented it."

Economists, business, labor and financial leaders have all been sounding the same theme-but mostly in a quieter key. Abruptly and decisively, coping with inflation has become the prime concern of U.S. businessmen. What was only a nagging specter short months ago is fast gathering ominous substance. Automakers have joined the parade of summer price increases that now reach across the economy from food to steel, from appliances to plastics. General Motors raised the average price of its 1968 autos by $110, or 3.6% above the 1967 level. Strikebound Ford lifted its car prices by $114 (3.9%), Chrysler...
