Government Last to Adjust
To Change, Huntley Says
Chet Huntley, a spokesman
for American Airlines and
the Continental Oil Company,
speaking at the annual meet
ing of travel representatives,
said that between now and
the nation’s 200th birthday in
1976 is the ideal time to sug
gest to the American people
that they discover America.
“We can no longer afford
to take ourselves for
granted,” he said. “We have
some work to do, my friends,
to discover who we are and
what it is we want to be.”
Commenting on freedom of
choice, Mr. Huntley said, "We
have turned too much of the
decision-making process and
the subsequent implementing
processes over to a force, a
power, an entity, which we
call government. In my opin
ion government is revealing
itself as a rather third-rate
decision-maker and a conten
tious, uncertain and unpre
dictable control force.
“Government response to
the environmental movement
has been one of much less dis
patch and wisdom than we
might want,” he explained.
“The private sector of this
nation, I believe, is ready and
willing to build or produce
under safe and sane ecologi
cal disciplines. But govern
ment is nowhere near ready
to tell us what its disciplines
are and what its perameters
of environmental safeguards
are ”
Mr. Huntley cited consum
erism as another example of
governmental inadequacy.

consumer protection is the
weary old program of another
agency and the creation of an
other army of government in
spectors. In my opinion this
bureaucratic expansion is not
necessary. Government has
tremendous powers of pub
licity and exposure. It has the
powers of subpoena. It has
the powers of prosecution and
detection and investigation.
“Or take the matter of the
sources and the distribution
of energy in the months and
years ahead,” he continued.
“Believe me, this concerns all
of us in the tourism and
travel and recreation busi
ness, because if we don’t have
the energy to get there, we’re
going to staj home."
He explained that more
than 62 federal agencies have
some authority over some as
pect of our energy supply,
and that each agency and
committee is often in conflict
with all or most of the others.
He added that, “We try to
adapt and adjust, but ever
lastingly it seems to me gov
ernment is the last to make
the adjustment, to change its
ways.”
“For nearly 30 years, the
Federal government has
tried to reduce farm output
to certain levels—and has
failed. For more than 40
years, the Russians have
tried to raise farm output
to certain levels—and have
failed. It just goes to show
you that governments should
get out of the farming busi
ness.—Harold S. May, The
Florence (Ala.) Herald.

84-Year Old Man
Repays Old Tax
Error to Gov’t.
WASHINGTON-An 84 year
old Pennsylvanian has sent U.S.
Senator Richard S. Schweiker
(R-Pa.) $65 for the Internal
Revenue Service to “relieve his
conscience” over a decades-old
tax error.
The check Scweiker forwarded
to IRS covered a “small error on
an income tax return” plus in
terest. It had been sent to Sch
weiker at the taxpayer’s request
by his grandson. The grandson
wrote Schweiker, “Grandfather
has no records which go back far
enough to file a revised return, so
we are sending the check to you
to forward it to the appropriate
fund.”
The grandson told Schweiker,
“Many years ago, my grand
father made a small error on an
income tax return. He is ex
tremely conscientious, and now
at 84 years of age, that mistake
still worries him. Recently I
figured out with interest
payments what the cost of his
mistake was. The amount of the
check covers the entire mistake.
I’m sure it will make him feel
much better,” Schweiker was
told.
