...soaring Gateway Arch across the river. Poverty workers estimate that an appalling 65% of East St. Louis' housing is substandard; a full 21% of the work force is unemployed; nearly a third of the city's families-55%-60% of them Negroes-are on some form of relief. Fine kindling for riot, and last week Firebrand H. Rap Brown applied the match...
...Neil Brenden of Minneapolis operate a center for teaching sewing and other skills to teen-age girls, a day nursery for children of working mothers, a Boy Scout troop among urchins. The Brendens, both Lutherans, arrived in Saigon last year under the auspices of Viet Nam Christian Service, a relief agency jointly sponsored by Lutheran World Relief, Church World Service, and Mennonites. The couple symbolizes the largely unsung efforts by U.S. churches to respond-as they have done in all wars-to the human suffering that is the unwanted but inevitable result of the Viet Nam struggle...
...volunteer agencies, most of them U.S.-and religious-based, are contributing actively to the relief of the Vietnamese, to the tune of millions a year. Largest of the religious agencies in scope of operation is Catholic Relief Services, a charity sponsored by the U.S. Roman Catholic hierarchy, which is funded through an annual collection taken up in every American parish and supplemented by a Thanksgiving Day clothing drive.

At that time, the plan will be spelled out in further detail. Remaining to be decided, for instance, is the amount of special drawing rights to be created. Best estimate is between $1 billion and $2 billion for a start. Though small in amount...
...McGlothlin (10-5) are salivary too, but John Wyatt, No. 1 relief pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, coats the ball with Vaseline. "Wyatt," says Joe Pepitone of the New York Yankees, "carries so much Vaseline on him that if he slid into second base he'd keep right on going to the leftfield fence." Dean Chance (17-9) of the Minnesota Twins has been accused of "loading" with both saliva and stickum, but he also has plenty of legal stuff on the ball: last week he pitched his second no-hitter in a month-the first...
