Most important of the bogged-down bills is the President's proposal for a 10% tax surcharge and, in the election-year atmosphere of the second session, the bill seems likely once again to provoke a deadlock over spending and taxes. "We are doing nothing," Johnson conceded last week. "We are at a standstill...
...League rugby rivals played to a scoreless deadlock in the first half. The Green kept the ball on Harvard's half of the field, but time after time the Crimson defense warded off Dartmouth scoring threats. Harvard's Parker Wise--who left a trail of green jerseys wherever he roamed--choked off a Dartmouth sweep with a vicious tackle about 5 yards from pay-dirt...

In the first step, the U.S. will cut its levies 42%, as against 25% to 30% for the Common Market. In the second stage, both sets of tariffs, with a few exceptions, would drop at least to half their present level. This phase, however, will go into effect only if Congress repeals the controversial system by which duties on organic benzenoid chemicals-notably dyes, sulfa drugs, plastics and pesticides-are based on their American selling price, which results in tariffs...
