Agnew Flies In To Meet Governors
By DON MCLEOD Associated Press Writer
A number of governors complained that the Watergate affair had created indecision and inaction in Washington which was blocking solutions to pressing local
STATELINE, Nev.—Vice President Sprot T. Agnew arrived at the National Governors Conference Tuesday saying he came to "make friends and ease tensions" in the wake of complaints that Watergate had paralyzed government in Washington.
Agnew had not planned to attend the conference, where Watergate had been widely discussed, but Monday suddenly announced he would.
While insisting Watergate would not be discussed in his meetings with governors, Agnew said he would be talking to them privately about the problems many have linked to a Watergate paralysis, such as budget binds.
"Of course when a member of the national administration comes to a governor's conference, he comes to make matters more difficult. He newsmen after arriving from Washington.
Gold Humiliates Devalued Dollar
Associated Press Writer
NEW YORK-Through the years, gold seems to have held mankind in a trance. Once, it was worshipped as having come from the sun, or the heavens. Today it is worshiped by many as the only real financial security.
By JOHN CUNNIFF
WHY THIS should be done isn't altogether explainable, but nothing about gold and its value.
Because of this, the twice-devalued dollar is in trouble again. Dollars are being sold for gold; so, following the law of supply and demand, dollars are being down and the price of gold, pushed us.
Last week, it reached a price of more than $120 an ounce, up 25 per cent in just a month, as financial assets that were maintained in dollars were switched into gold. And, because of inflation, a lot of dollars are floating around.
This is bad news for those who traditionally have held dollars for security. All over the world, the dollar was thought to be corrupted by the erosion that ruined other currencies.
For example, there is plenty of evidence that gold buyers are speculating on an increased role for gold in the monetary system of the future, even though its
But dollar erosion today is very serious, and gold never erodes. No government or industry or institution can do anything to diminish the amount of gold somebody has cached away. And it is almost impervious to nature.
relationship to currencies is officially severed.
TALK AMONG economists now is of an upcoming recession following the current
There are those who cannot believe that man can rid himself of ties to gold, and they may be right. Gold as a medium of exchanging information is attractive, but it remains universally acceptable.
THE CURRENT interpretation of the rising gold price is that the United States' economy continues to suffer from inflation, notwithstanding promises from Washington about the future. The country still imports more than it exports.
boom. William McChesney Martin Jr., former governor, has the latest to express this opinion.
Martin is highly respected in world monetary and financial circles, and his comments are bound to be used abroad as reinforcement of their own concerns. Among those concerns about America is its current government.
Martin fed additional fears with his statement to the Senate Finance Committee that "the nation is floating on a sea of debt" and he was worried about the banking system.
IN THE VIEW of some European, President Nixon's ability to govern has been impaired seriously at the very time that American needs close supervision from Washington.
So they switch to gold, hoping that somehow the new international monetary order or growing industrial demand will continue to push up its price. It might not pay any interest, they know, but they feel safe with it. Man always has.
Steinem Fashions Ms. Magazine Into 'Believable Editorial Product'
By JOHN HENRY
THE EDITORIAL content of the monthly runs to the heavy side: where other women's magazines offer tips on ways to work, for example, Ms. has "how-to" articles advising stewardesses and secretaries to do how to deal with the job sex discrimination.
NEW YORK—The firm's headquarters are a cramped and cluttered set of offices, where visitors have to walk carefully or they'll step on some of the incoming mail that has been dumped on the floor for sorting.
Although the offices are situated in midtown Manhattan, where gray flannel suits are the standard executive dress, one of the leaders in this enterprise is clad in pants. Hull of the people in the place wear. And there are no titles on the door.
Because of the magazine's reputation for militancy on its editorial pages, corporations are thought to be wary of ad-followers. People seem being among some of Madison Avenue that promotes a single cause—the women's movement—may run out of things to say.
On the surface, Ms. would seem to have other things working against it besides the chief engineer.
IT IS IF the business is Ms. Magazine. At the end of its first year, the magazine, aimed at liberated women and edited by feminist Gloria Stinema, is according to the magazine adding readers, gaining advertisers' important, making money. Not a bad opportunity when you consider that it was years ago. Illustrated magazine, one of publishing's hottest properties today, earned so much as a dime for its owners.
Is this any way to run a business?
The ads, while still few and far between,
are growing in number. The June issue—in
which several corporate heavies including
Ford, Exxon, and New York Life Insurance,
make their first appearance—contains 20
pages of ads, a record for the magazine.
SOUND FINANCIAL management undoubtedly has played a part in the magazine's success. But the main reason, as many observers see it, is the comedy of Stehlem and Caribine to put away an editorial product that is authoritative and believable.
the women and its strong ideological bent actually has turned out to be an asset in the advertising community. It's evident from the ad copy that some companies are using MILK to convince women that they are more than just their employment and marketing policies.
A recent Volkswagen ad claims, "We never ran an ad in another magazine we wound't run in Ms.," and an ad placed by Lincoln Savings Bank in banks distributed across the country, endorsers, "if you don't get a mortgage at the Lincoln, it isn't because you're a woman."

"There is a creeping paralysis, a slowdown nationally," said Maryland's Democratic Gov. Marvin Mandell, who is outgoing chairman of the conference. "They apparently are not willing to make decisions in Washington."
"A creeping paralysis is overtaking Washington as a result of Watergate balances the action on a variety of critical problems." - Gov. Daniel Walker of Illinois said.
Astronauts Set For Repair Job
HOUSTON (AP) - Skylab's astronauts prepared Tuesday for a bold and unprecedented space walk attempt to salvage a broken solar panel and end a critical power shortage aboard their orbiting laboratory.
Space agency officials revealed Tuesday that Conrad had experienced irregular heartbeat earlier in the mission, but said that, nonetheless, the crew was in excellent condition.
Take Ronald McDonald to the bathroom with you.
Astronauts Charles Conrad Jr., Dr. Joseph P Kearn and Paul J. Wetzl studied a complex proposal for the repair job and scheduled a review session with experts on the plans. The space walk is tentatively planned for 11 a.m. (Lawrence time) Thursday.
If you find your bathroom boring, this is the cup for you. But more than that, it's great for picnics. Kids love to drink their milk out of it. You grownup may wish to drink other things out of it, but not in plastic. It's bright yellow. It's also free with the purchase of any 16-oz. soft drink.
"If I could get my hands on my first grade teacher now, I'd break her chalk."
The old "run, Spot, run" method.
If all began in the first grade.
But don't blame your first-grade teacher, it wasn't her fault. It was the system she had to teach.
You had to读 it out loud. Words by word.
And that's the way it was until you became a second grader. Where your teacher asked you to read silently. Where your teacher asked you
If you're an average reader, you’re probably reading that way now.
You probably stopped reading out loud. But you still said every word to yourself.
Which means you read only as fast as you talk. About 250 to 300 words a minute.
Not when the average student has approximately 8 hours of required reading for every day of classes.
And since the amount of time in a day isn't about to increase, your reading speed will have to.
The Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics course can help.
With training, you will be able to see groups of words. To read between 1,000 and 3,000 words per minute. Depending on how difficult the material is
At any rate, we guarantee at least triple your reading speed, or we'll refund your entire tuition. (84.4% of everyone who takes the course accomplishes this!)
So don't waste time thinking about what,买卖. Come take a free introductory speed course on how to operate your car or speed on the spot. It takes about an hour to how you can reduce your study time.
And it ought to be worth an hour of your time.
