i • • % iI ’UJiU ¥ ' 4 Inflation became a dirty word to many Americans as the year slowly dragged by. Public au¬ diences squealed about the rising cost of living. It now was being recognized that our nation was in a serious economical situation. The public failed to realize the acute situation of a possible reces¬ sion and threatening depression ahead. Money now was scarce, and the increasing unemployment rate didn’t help at all. Attempting to aide the consumer American automobile manufacturers in¬ troduced their rebate plan, which offered cash refunds, which soared up to $600.00 on the new 1975 models. President Ford in¬ troduced his new economic pro¬ gram WIN (W’hip Inflation Now) and urged the American society to voluntarily cooperate and help curb possible economic chaos. I) 1974 unveiled the resig¬ nation of Richard Nixon, 38th president of the United States, and the ad¬ mittance of our vice-presi¬ dent Gerald Ford as 39th head of state. Public reac¬ tion varied to this histori¬ cal event. Topping it off, the Nixon Administration was shattered again when H.R. Haldeman, John Er- lichman, and John Mitch¬ ell were indicted on counts of conspiracy, ob¬ struction of justice, and perjury. In late February a federal grand jury sen¬ tenced all three men to a 2V6 month to 10 year te rm in federal prison. In early 1975 the fall election in November proved to be a successful outcome for the Democratic party throughout the country. With more than % major¬ ity members in the House and Senate, Democrats proved to the GOP that they would surely domi¬ nate Capitol Hill. May 6 was the date se¬ lected for the city primary elections. Offices up for grabs were, mayoral, city judge, city councilman, and councilman at large. Candi¬ dates in the race for mayor were incumbent Richard G. Hatcher, Dozier T. Allen, James Hilton, Ted Roma- nowski, and the renowned radio personality, Warren Frieberg. In early February, heavyweight champion of the world Muhammad Ali visited the community and appeared at Lew Wallace, Roosevelt, and West Side High schools. He spoke to the student body on the pur¬ pose of life. Mayor Richard Hatcher accompanied him.
