...Subversive Activities Control Board could have been invented by Gilbert and Sullivan. Like the Queen's Navee, Savoyard-style, it provides its members with impressive-sounding responsibilities, conveys a generous ($26,000) salary, and requires virtually no work at all. The board has heard not a single case in the past 19 months and is not likely to hear one any time soon. With an economy fever gripping Congress, SACB-together with its nearly $300,000 annual budget-would seem to be an ideal target, but the Senate voted overwhelmingly last week not to dissolve the board...
While France has been tempting Latin American governments by offering generous credits for arms purchases, the U.S. has gone out of its way to encourage more sound spending and discourage unnecessary arms purchases. To make its point, the U.S. has cut military aid to Latin America 15% in the past two years (to $65 million) and refused export licenses for any supersonic jets sold in the area. When the Latin Americans took their military orders to Europe, Washington finally gave in, and two weeks ago permitted U.S. plane-makers-mainly Northrop, with its hot F-5 supersonic "Freedom Fighters...
...Yourself Kit. It was a blatant bit of buckpassing. Moreover, only a week earlier the House had passed a pay increase for civilian employees that was more generous than the Administration had requested. That bill singled out the postal workers, who have the most powerful civil service lobby, for a larger raise than other groups and denied employees of the Office of Economic Opportunity any raise at all. Many of the most economy-minded Congressmen protested when the Administration recently imposed temporary freezes on certain construction projects. In the course of a six-hour debate last week, members loyal...
...financial help to meet the $3,000 annual charges. No longer interested in a protective, genteel education, Mills girls plunge eagerly into such unsheltered activities as tutoring Negro youngsters in Oakland and studying city government by taking part-time municipal jobs. Blessed with a legion of loyal and generous alumnae, Mills has nearly doubled faculty salaries in the past ten years (current average: $10,556). The college is successfully raising about $2,000,000 annually in an apparently endless fund drive...
...remarkable coincidence, most of the fires break out in establishments that are in deep financial trouble or hopelessly obsolescent. Their managers know that generous fire insurance policies sponsored by the state allow them to modernize their factories as well as rebuild them. "We do not like to make insinuations," said Vijesnik u Srijedu, "but arson pays off handsomely." And the risk is virtually nonexistent. Because state insurance companies rely on harried local police to conduct fire investigations, no company official has yet been found guilty of anything more serious than negligence. The maximum penalty for that is a $16 fine...
