Money talks
US-Germany to talk
WASHINGTON—(UPI)—President Johnson and West German Chancellor Erhard open a two-day round of talks today on the problems of nuclear strategy, the future of NATO, and on the maintenance of U.S. troops in Europe.
Although announcement of a new agreement in the space programs was expected to come during the talks, the discussions were more likely to center on money.
Under a current two-year agreement, expiring next June, the Germans are committed to buying $1.35 billion worth of U.S. arms to offset the outflow of money maintaining more than 200,-000 U.S. troops in West Germany.
West German sources said Erhard would ask Johnson for a 50 per cent reduction of the present annual level of about $675 million. They said that West Germany cannot fulfill her contract to buy about $650 million worth of arms between now and June.
Death in wake of typhoons
The death toll from Japan's two-day pounding by typhoons is expected to reach 300 as the country faces the worst storm aftermath since 1959. National police have confirmed 193 people killed and 123 missing in the wake of the 100 mile an hour winds and torrential rains.
U. S. military officials said the storm caused $3 to $5 million damage at the U.S. Astugi Naval Air Station 20 miles west of Tokyo.
Yamanashi Prefecture to the west of the populous Tokyo area was the hardest hit.
Slate post-election tax increase talks
WASHINGTON—(UPI)—President Johnson's top economic advisers again are talking about a tax increase—after the November elections—to help fight the war in Viet Nam and the war against inflation.
Treasury Secretary Henry H. Fowler said that a general tax increase "is certainly within the realm of probability" if the administration is to continue its pay-as-you-go policy on the war's costs.
