...munitions lines run on after any cessation of hostilities to rebuild depleted inventories. In a war like the one in Viet Nam, substantial forces are likely to remain in the field for many months and be withdrawn gradually. Meanwhile, the country has made expensive commitments to advanced-weapons systems. Some items: the conversion of 31 Polaris submarines (cost: $248 million) to carry 496 Poseidon missiles at $80 million per vessel, the first six of which are to take place this year; the beginning of procurement for components of the Sentinel and the anti-ballistic missile system, ultimately estimated...
Against this anticipated dividend must be set a multibillion-dollar set of claims. The future military shopping list, in addition to the items above, includes a number of costly weapons systems in the development stage on which procurement decisions are pending. Initial requests from the armed forces in the 1970 budget were reported at the $100 billion figure that Schultze projects for 1974. In addition to these proposals there are potential increases in programs already authorized but underfunded. If Congress fully applied the Model Cities Program to the 130 or 140 cities involved, the annual cost could reach $4 billion...
After putting in 40,000 man-hours of work, Forward Thrust developed a working program that would cost $5.5 billion to realize-also much too expensive. While part of the committee pared this down to essentials-like a new stadium, storm sewers, a rapid-transit system and parks-other men prepared bills for the state legislature to enable the thrust to move forward. Of 19 proposed bills, 18 passed. Most important were measures to double King County's debt limit and to enable the county to borrow on behalf of its 30 cities. They permitted the county to finance...
...seven of them, costing $334 million. Seattle's central area, a Negro slum, supported the entire program and will receive benefits from a $12 million street-improvement bond issue, plus new parks and swimming pools. The most expensive single item to be rejected-a $385 million mass-transit system-will be presented to the voters again next year, when traffic in Seattle thickens even more. It got 51% approval in 1968, stands a good chance of passing...
...harsh campaign against thousands of Asian merchants in their midst. Since the majority hold British rather than local passports, black leaders in East Africa adamantly insist that the British should accept them. Britain has reacted against immigration-and its attendant demands on social services-with a new quota system, and Callaghan was hardly anxious to provoke another storm of Powellite racial tension by promising to stretch quotas...
