...bill, also faces a House hatchet job. Such Republican critics as Ohio's William Ayres and New York's Charles Goodell want to lop some $600 million to $800 million off the authorization, which will probably come to a vote this week. Angrily, Sargent Shriver threatened to quit as head of the Office of Economic Opportunity if Congress will not give him the funds to do his job. "It would be a delusion to the poor," he said.

A Phi Beta Kappa graduate ('39) of Princeton, Seabrook first rescued his own family company, Seabrook Farms, from a disastrous slump. In 1959, when his father, now dead, sold control of the frozen-food firm, Seabrook quit as president and joined Butcher. He became president of I.U. in 1965, and of General Waterworks last year.
