The Week

Troops. Listen a minute. They took away Frank Lausche (see below), and put in a pinko. The power of the labor unions. It’s a hell of a shame, but it is true that Lausche is a Democrat, and conservative Democrats live on borrowed time. But we have a great opportunity to redress the balance—in California, at the Republican primary on June 4. It’s Max Rafferty v. Tom Kuchel, reading from right to left. The briefest thing you can say about Kuchel is that he has in recent years gone by, although he is a Republican, refused to support: Nixon in 1962, Murphy in 1964, Goldwater in 1964, Reagan in 1966. Now he grovels for Republican support. Rafferty endorsed them all. He’s a solid, well-informed conservative. Let’s give him a hand. Remember Lausche!

A Rockefeller-appointed committee of national business leaders, inquiring into problems of poverty and welfare, has endorsed the idea of a negative income tax long sponsored by Professor Milton Friedman. Either the committee itself or the journalist who reported its finding proved once again how readily the “negative income tax” is confused with the “guaranteed annual income.” Many economists noted the spread of conviction that a basic shift must be made away from the current relief system, jerry-built over fifty years into a fiscal nightmare that is not only wasteful and inefficient in maximum degree but by its nature tends to freeze clients onto relief rolls instead of encouraging them to get off.
