...code since the income tax was adopted in 1913. Despite its sweeping nature, however, there was little disagreement over its passage. Blaming a "misunderstanding," Ways and Means Committee Chairman Wilbur Mills defused potential liberal opposition to the bill by providing tax breaks for lower-and middle-income taxpayers left out of the measure as reported by his committee. Inclusion of those in the $7,000 to $12,000 categories will cost the Treasury $2.4 billion. Only three-quarters of the time allocated for floor debate was used. Constituent mail has been running so strongly in favor of the measure that...

Quoting a recent article by Brezhnev, he said: "Our party will spare no effort in order to strengthen the cohesion of the Communist movement and will carry out its international duty...
Relatives of the eight men were also left without explanations. Mrs. Rheault said she had sensed that something was wrong from her husband's most recent letters, but relatives of the others said that they had not been aware of any difficulties until news reports of the arrests appeared. By week's end, four of the accused had hired civilian lawyers. Two of the attorneys received security clearances, reinforcing the belief that the case involves some supersecret operation. The Army is now investigating the charges to see if there are grounds for a court-martial. Conviction...
