...weeks ago, the President bitterly attacked Congress for its inflationary tendencies and threatened to veto the "Christmas tree" tax bill. Last week he added the massive Labor and Health, Education and Welfare appropriations bill and a relatively minor coalmine-safety bill to his possible veto list. Said Nixon in a letter to Republican congressional leaders: "I cannot at this critical point in the battle against inflation approve so heavy an increase in federal spending...
...increase of 3% for factory and office workers and 4.6% for collective farmers. Nevertheless, Baibakov boasted that in comparison with 15 years ago, "every 100 families in 1970 will have 71 radios as against 61, 52 washing machines as against 21, and 32 refrigerators instead of only eleven."

Moreover, an automatic guillotine such as that applied to cyclamates is too crude an instrument for determining acceptability. The food industry obviously has to use some additives to keep its products from spoiling and-in the case of such staples as bread, milk and iodized salt-to give them maximum nutritive and health-protective values. Just as clearly, the public demands low-calorie sweeteners as well as precooked heat-and-serve meals. It is well...
