Behind the new action-now program was a growing impatience by such venturesome Cabinet members as Interior Secretary Fred Seaton, Labor Secretary James Mitchell, Defense Secretary Neil McElroy. Attorney General Bill Rogers and Vice President Nixon with the pacing of antirecession moves. In his letter to Knowland and Martin, the President hit out at Democrats, without calling any actual names, for the "sudden upsurge of pump-priming schemes" put forward by persons lacking "faith in the inherent vitality of our free economy and in the American as an individual." But all in all, the new policy marked a notable shift...
...other races seem to be thoroughly in Yale's favor. Alexander and Sherman of the Elis do 2:14 in the 220-yard freestyle as against Dick Seaton's and Tom Cochran's 2:17. The 50-yard freestyle, always close, includes three Yalies who swim faster than Pete Zemo's fastest time this season. Roger Anderson has done the 100-free in the phenomenal time of 48.9 seconds. The varsity's best 100 man, Koni Ulbrich, swims it in about 53 seconds. The best the varsity can get in the backstroke is third, since the Bulldogs' best man does...

...Seaton does not expect very much from such measures. Says he: "The presence of humans, in a system containing high-speed electronic computers and highspeed, accurate communications, is quite inhibiting. Every means possible should be employed to eliminate humans in the data-processing chain." But Engineer Seaton feels that humans, however fallible, still have their uses. "The human brain," he concedes, "is a most unusual instrument of elegant and as yet unknown capacity." He favors "reserving to humans the unusual problems of judgment, moral and philosophical balances...
Democrats' Loss. As FPC replaced the Administration as the center of Northwest controversy, the beneficiary was Interior Secretary Fred Seaton, who has modified the policies of his predecessor, Douglas McKay, and quietly stolen some thunder from Northwest Democrats. Last week all eyes turned to Seaton's suggestion for a $274 million multipurpose dam at Pleasant Valley instead of at Nez Perce. FPC and many powermen have opposed it because it would be above the Salmon and Imnaha Rivers, thus store much less water than Nez Perce. It would also flood out the lowest Hells Canyon dam that Idaho...
