...Health, Education and Welfare, Secretary Wilbur Cohen recently began a fundamental and potentially far-reaching change in federal policy governing the eligibility of relief recipients. At present, some potential recipients must undergo investigations of need that often prove demeaning. Under Cohen's proposed ruling, eligibility would be established on the basis of the applicant's own declaration. Twenty-seven states already use this controversial practice, usually relying on spot checks to discourage fraudulent declarations.

But moneymen are talking more and more about the need to revalue many currencies at once and to expand the world's monetary reserves by quickly creating a form of "paper gold," the so-called "Special Drawing Rights." To do this, they may decide to hold the first monetary summit meeting since the existing system was set up in 1944 at Bretton Woods, N.H. More likely, they will take less...
