■ Gawsh, what a week. Gurney off the hook, Hiss readmitted to the bar, the Good Humor company indicted on 244 counts of selling allegedly contaminated ice cream, the Honorable 33rd Degree Mason Wilbur Mills facing trial for “un-Masonic behavior” in re Fanne Foxe, an assortment of Protestant and Mormon churches announcing they will seek credit card contributions in the collection basket (Master Tithe? BankAmiracle?), and out there at Camp Grayling, Michigan, 12,000 National Guardsmen got orders at 6:00 p.m. to have- haircuts by 7:00 the next morning, with only one barber at the camp.
■ Federal spending rose by $56.7 billion in fiscal 1975, and exceeded the February estimate by $11.7 billion. Non-defense spending rose 26 per cent. Federal tax receipts were $16 billion higher than the year before (this is called a “tax cut”).
