...early June, 1968, I was on one of the five destroyers that made up the surface force during the search-and-rescue operation for the U.S.S. Scorpion. Our mission was to search for debris along a track from Norfolk to the Azores. As a result, I cannot help but wholeheartedly agree with Thor Heyerdahl's observations about polluting the oceans...
...decision was made more difficult by the upsurge in Communist aggressiveness, which brought U.S. deaths for the most recent week to 244 v. 96 the week before. Ideally, the Administration would like the next announced withdrawal to be larger than the first one of 25,000 last June. That would maintain the sense of momentum in disengagement. If the combat lull had continued, Laird's proposal for perhaps a considerably larger figure would have been easy to justify. Now it was tricky, and he had to calculate the risk on the battlefields, the tolerance of dissent at home, and somehow...
...Central Committee's action was a retreat from the determinedly avantgarde position adopted last May by the council's own international Consultation on Racism (TIME, June 6), which favored church support of antiracist revolutionary movements and compensation for those "exploited" by capitalism. But in addition to its $500,000 allocation, the committee did call on member churches to give "a significant portion of their total resources to orga nizations of the racially oppressed." One way that churches might help was to make land available "free or at low cost" for community development...
...money might be needed to slow price inflation. That would mean that the swift rise in the U.S. cost of living may not begin to slacken markedly until January. The date represents a considerable stretch in the Administration's former timetable for halting soaring prices. As recently as June, the White House was promising such signs of economic slowdown any time after midyear. In two talks during the week, however, McCracken counseled the nation to be patient...
...economic confusion continued last week. The consumer price index for July rose at an annual rate of 6% . That was down from a 7.2% rate in June, but little comfort can be taken from the fact. The 3.6% rise in prices between January and July was the greatest for the period since 1951. But a special Federal Reserve Board study shows that businessmen plan little increase in spending for new factories and equipment during the rest of this year. Such outlays have been a major source of inflationary pressure, and for all of 1969 the Reserve Board expects capital spending...
