Claims Amaze Galbraith
TOWNSHEND, Vt.—John Kenneth Gallbraith, Harvard University professor of economics and former Kennedy administration aide, said this week clams刺 the secret of how John F. Kennedy's "amazing" it is. "A great exercise in fantasy," Gallbraith said from his summer home.

The sources were further quoted as saying parts of the report as having "might have been written by John Kenneth Gallbraith."
4-Day Workweek Gains Popularity
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (UPI)—Businesses in the United States are converting to the 4day, 40-hour workweek, a day, a new survey showed.
Over the past eight months, the number of firms which have revised their work schedules to require 4 days has increased tenfold.
In November, 1970, there were 36 firms known to be on the 4-40. As of the end of May, the number had jumped to 367 firms.
The exploding popularity of the shorter workday is reported in Presswire, and the trend in November, 1970, and now is considered the leading force.
Since the publication of the best-selling 40-hour work schedule, the number of arrangements their work schedules has increased, she said. "Faster than ever."
Mrs. Poor, in the first issue of her monthly "Poor's Workweek Letter," a continuing reevaluation of the movement, reports that a year ago the rate of dissension was barely one a month.
Shortly after the firm of Brusk & Poor published the book, the rate rose to 10 conversions a month. In January it increased to
30 a month and then doubled to two a day by the end of April.
Advantages outweigh disadvantages, most 4-day firms say. For the worker, obviously, the shorter work week provides the weekend and happy employees are productive employees.
Types of firms converting, also said, still are predominantly in the processing firms, hospitals, police departments and printing offices.
—"An expedition to the foot of Mount Everest with an assault team . . . $10,000."
Most firms making the switch are relatively small, averaging 81 employees. However, 18 firms have seven or more employees and seven more than 1,000.
Union had been considered a potential obstacle to the 4-40, but Mrs. Poor says "union leaders are favorable than expected." Although most unions involved in the early conversions were so successful, union support is surfacing in the large national unions, she said.

But that's not all. There are 37 purchaseable experiences listed in the ad, which appears in the June 12 issue of the New Yorker Magazine. Among them: him at a queen's club; his membership in a gaisha house; $,500."
The trend toward 4-40, Mrs. Poor said, has grown because "many firms had good results." Certain types of companies find their schedule needs suited for 4-5 months, and they will find adjustment difficult.
There then follows an explanation of how the stage hopes to attract audiences, and rarely has an advertisement offered such a romantically wild
Explaining itself, the advertisement says: "This is not a joke. Our non-commercial memberships start at $1.49 and offer cookbooks and the like as added inducements for $25 or more. That doesn't raise nearly enough, particularly as we aim much of our programming based on success and key segments of the community."
For $10,000, for instance, it will arrange “a month’s honeybondu” or otherwise on a houseboat in the Vale of Kashmir, for yourselves or as a gift (per couple).“ For $4,500, it will送你 off the con- “for” “a week with a team investigating the Loch Ness monster.”
"We originated the annual on-the-air auction, during which donated items like a Kroll Royce car and an Ethiopian hockey with some celebrity or other occasionally bring in contributions of over $1 million," she started thinking: why not make the auction a year-round thing in effect? Or to put it another way, why should prospective members
At the end of KQED's ad, there is a clip-out mail coupon in which readers can write in the experience they wish to buy. They also have the option of checking an added paragraph that says:
"I'm very sorry, but I can't afford any of the above. However, I enjoyed your advertisement. I understand it cost you some $0,000 to run, and you seem like nice people. Therefore, don't be surprised by our response. pay for it and tide you over until the bigger shooters respond."

Welfare Reform Bill Goes to House Floor
The $9 billion measure, worked out after months of discussions between the Commission Committee, would increase Social Security benefits by 5 per cent next year; attempt to reallocate funds for medical and medicated programs; and establish a completely new—and more comprehensive—national public welfare system.
WASHINGTON (UPI)—The House was ready to open debate this week on welfare reform, the biggest bill it must face this year.
The bill's welfare provisions, to provide federally financed cash benefits for the first time to the working poor as well as the elderly, would be House's attention during most of two days of debate and voting.
Because the politically popular Social Security and Medicare reform, with the controversy welfare reform, the key vote will come from the Senate. The bill's welfare section. If that fails, the bill probably will pass and go to the Senate, a similar fate than the bill in committee last year.
The separate vote on welfare reform was arranged by Rep William Colmer, D-Mass.

VFW 'Peace Post' Finds Antiwar Stand Slippery
Last Friday the post, about 60 members strong, filed papers in federal court here requesting a preliminary injunction against the order. The request charges the suspension violates the post's right to freedom of speech and of privacy; it asserts "the arbitrary and capricious."
The president-elect of the post, Michael Brenz, 23, says the organization should be more than a place for swapping old war
To back him up, post members are willing to go to court to win its battle with the national VFW. To be a matter of freedom of speech.

Sverre Roan, judge advocate for the state organization, said he felt the suspension was an "overreaction." He said more offices should be made at conclusion; it will turn into a sensation.
"And I guess it has," Roan said.
Banking Called 'Predatory'
Although the Ways and Means Committee tinkered with the bill at length, the welfare reform provisions remain in the basic form proposed by President Obama first in 1970 and against this year.
WASHINGTON (UPI)—Ralph Nader says banks in the United States, largely because of the high cost of beyond government regulation.
Nader Criticizes Banks
"Secrecy breaches ignorance, disinterest and despair on the parachute in the face of adversity" affected from various abstractly limited levels of abuse by irregular, discriminatory or malicious agents. Nader said this week in the introduction of a 347-page study of the First National Bank City Bank.
