...President bitterly attacked Congress for its inflationary tendencies and threatened to veto the "Christmas tree" tax bill. Last week he added the massive Labor and Health, Education and Welfare appropriations bill and a relatively minor coalmine-safety bill to his possible veto list. Said Nixon in a letter to Republican congressional leaders: "I cannot at this critical point in the battle against inflation approve so heavy an increase in federal spending...

...more than eight years, Robert M. Morgenthau has enforced federal laws in New York's Southern District with scrupulous impartiality. He has uncovered graft in Democratic as well as Republican city machines, convicted Wall Streeters for illegal Swiss bank dealings, and waged war against New York City's powerful Mafia. But Democrat Morgenthau is a political appointee. According to tradition, when the Republicans took office in Washington, Morgenthau was expected to join the country's 92 other U.S. Attorneys in offering his resignation. He did not, maintaining that he needed time "to complete major cases and investigations...

...Robert Finch, though he had his doubts, remained silent. As a result, the House approved the amendment by a wide margin.

...Administration's economists admit that they are practicing brinksmanship. Anything more severe than a mild or brief recession would damage Republican chances of winning more Senate and House seats in next November's election. It will avail Nixon little politically to blame inflation on the Johnson Administration, even though Lyndon Johnson's failure to ask for higher taxes in 1966 to help meet Viet Nam costs is a major source of today's problem. Some congressional Republicans believe that Nixon will arrange to relax the money squeeze well before ballot time. But at least one of the President's most...

Nixon's difficulties are complicated by the fact that the Republican Administration and the Democratic-controlled Congress have hit an impasse on fiscal policy. The President has trimmed $7.5 billion from the federal budget that he inherited from Lyndon Johnson and ordered reductions in Government construction. Congress has consistently voted this fall to raise federal spending above the levels that the White House wants. Last week Nixon announced that he would impound appropriated funds, if necessary, to keep the Government from running an inflationary deficit in fiscal...
