OMNIBUS CRIME CONTROL. This is the only measure aimed specifically at nationwide street crime. It would extend for another three years the Johnson Administration's Crime Control and Safe Streets Act, which authorizes the use of federal funds to train and equip state and local police agencies. Nixon had sought $3 billion for the three years, compared to the $331 million appropriated for the first two years. The House-passed bill, including Nixon's request, was approved by the Senate last week, 59 to 0. The Senate also tacked on other provisions that would permit FBI agents...
...THERE ARE things to do. We are, collectively if not individually, wealthy. We have no student government to pay for, and if just half the University's students contributed ten dollars each (or maybe Coop rebates), we could rent and equip a building for use as an anti-war center, a day-care center, a hostel for street people, a free kitchen for the poor of all ages. What we need is a frankly political organization, a kind of Cambridge Liberation Front, to organize this community non-violently and to make life better, here and now, for those who live...
Continued the Premier: "What we are asking for now is arms." So far, the U.S. has supplied about 50,000 old American rifles and 10,000 captured AK-47s. Washington has quadrupled its arms aid to $40 million, but Cambodians say they need five times that amount to equip and train a 200,000-man army by 1971. The U.S. is unwilling to comply. Lon Nol hopes that other nations will help, but additional aid to date has come only from Thailand, South Viet Nam and Australia, which donated 50 Land Rovers and radios and ponchos...
Combat Help. U.S. support has come chiefly in the form of an $8,900,000 military-aid program. More than half has been spent on ammunition and rifles for Cambodia's ill-equipped army, which at one point was posting guard teams to stand duty without weapons. U.S. funds have also been used to equip six battalions of Khmer Krom mercenaries (ethnic Cambodians from Viet Nam), provide much-needed radio communications, buy 40 military trucks and trailers, and send about 10,000 Cambodian troops to Thailand and South Viet Nam for military training. Says Jonathan (Fred) Ladd...
...bound to come as industries start to fight pollution. In many cases, marginal operations might indeed be forced out of business when they have to take on the added burden of pollution safeguards. Armco Steel Corp., for example, closed eight old open-hearth furnaces in Houston rather than equip them with costly antipollution devices. This kind of shutdown can cause economic havoc. Some cases...
