Edward Kennedy and three Democratic presidential candidates kept silent when North Vietnam began its invasion of South Vietnam, but slandered President Nixon when he took action to halt the aggression.

In a speech at the concluding session of the annual meeting of the American Society of Newspaper Editors (ASNE), Agnew said: Let me simply say that as an American I am appalled at the conduct of leaders who keep their peace while a Communist invasion takes place and then rise up and slander an American President for taking the necessary military action to halt that aggression.

It said those hikes were offset somewhat by lower mortgage interest rates and declines in prices for vegetables and pork. After making seasonal adjustments, the BLS said the overall index virtually stood still in March for the first time since 1966 and that meant it had climbed at an annual rate of 3.7 per cent during the four full months since Nixons wage-price freeze ended. Top administration economists have talked of getting the yearly rate below 3 per cent.

Of all the items on the index, which is computed monthly, the BLS said 75 per cent remained unchanged in March while 10 per cent declined and 15 per cent increased.

Teddy Kennedy could have the nomination if he wanted it, said Packwood, but I am assuming that he does not want it and will not take it if offered.

But 1968 Democratic presidential candidate Hubert Humphrey will be nominated again, he predicts. Packwood says he sees a light at the end of the tunnel in a continuing fight to revise the seniority system in Congress, whereby senators with the most time in grade wind up with the committee chairmanships.
