George Romney here last weekend and pronounced got themselves impressed. It was far from certain whether Romney, an unannounced candidate for the GOP's 1968 presidential nomination, picked up: any national convention support in his flying visit for a Lincoln Day address. But several leaders in the Virginia party, which went solidly for conservative Barry Goldwater at the 1964 convention said the governor created much good will in a late Saturday huddle with state GOP bigwigs. "Very interesting, very useful," Romney told newsmen after: the hour-long, closed doors meeting with about 20" persons in his hotel room.
He said he had made no moves to set up a campaign A organization Virginia, Among the Virginians most captivated by the Michigan governor was State Sen. James C. Turk of Radford, who emerged from the meeting to tell reporters, "I think he would make a wonderful: for Turk said this didn't mean he had been asked to' join, or lead, a Romney for-President move in the state -but added, "I think I'd be glad to any-' thing for him I could."

Thiessen, whose district sponsored the Lincoln Day dinner at which Romney spoke, said the Single Women Must Pay High Income Tax NEW YORK (AP) This year a girl doesn't have to pay federal income tax on the damages she wins from a fellow's breach of promise to marry her. But that bit of gallant largesse from Uncle Sam isn't going to do much to reconcile a spinster, divorcee or widow to paying hundreds of dollars more in taxes than a married couple with the same taxable income. To many of the 13 million single women in the United States it looks as if they're being penalized for not marrying. one woman commented as she rushed.

Another, in a high bracket, said her accountant told her the other day: "Honey, if you'd just 20 per cent!" get husband I could save you In spite of efforts by a few legislators, Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy, to remedy the situation, nothing happens. Actually it's getting worse, because more women are reaching the higher income brackets where the disparity is wider. For example, a single woman with a taxable income of $6,000 pays $130 more in federal income tax than a married couple pays on the same.

Then, too, the married couple gets an automatic deduction of $1,200, or $600 more than the single person. Unmarried people have always paid a higher percentage of tax, but things got rough when income splitting for married couples was first provided in 1948. Then in 1951 special tax rates "were set forth for those who qualified as head of household.
"The trouble is," McCarthy points out, "that these qualifications are. so demanding that they exclude many more women than they include." What he wants to do is extend the head of household. category to widows and widowers and to single persons over 35 who have never been married or who have been separated or divorced for three years or more, who- -maintain- their- own house holds.

Romney arose at 5 a.m. Sunday and by 6 a.m. had flown out for Washington. From there he flew home.
How did he feel about his visit to this colonial capital and his talks with Virginia' GOP leaders? "I feel very 3 good about it. I hope it helped the party," he said. The Michigan governor swung hard at the Democrats in his address to about 300 party faithful at the Lincoln Day dinner, who interrupted him dozens of times with applause. Romney denounced the Democratic party as "indebted to economic giants and labor bosses" and said a "fundamental flaw in our labor laws" is responsible for the nation's current series of strike crises. This flaw, he said "encourages the growth 'of; giant collective bargaining monopolies.
He charged that the White House is "using, Congress as collective bargaining tool 00 to head off strikes.

He says he doesn't mean one thing.
He says he means another. The two wind up meaning the same. King, a hero of the civil rights movement and in the newspapers continually for years, had been in a bit of eclipse in recent months as the crusade for civil rights slowed down. not only slowed down but begn to fly apart last year after. Stokely Carmichael, leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, began.
preaching "black power." Even 'ardent civil rights liberals didn't like the connotations of that slogan. And the National Urban League and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People: de pounced the concept. But King wouldn't join the denunciation, Thenw ith oneb ig speech earThen with one big speech earlier this month King got himself back into the limelight but in a way that antagonized more people sympathetic to civil rights. He the, civil rights, protests with the anti-Vietnam war protests. Some Negro leaders publicly disagreed with these latest tactics of King.
Since he needs all the white and Negro. support he can -get to start the civil rights movement rolling again, it's hard to.s see how he did it any. thing but injury. King had been talking against the war in bits and pieces for a while and then on April 4 made a 40-page speech denouncing the American role in it. He called the United States the "greatest purveyor of violence in the world." A But he never once in the 40 pages mentioned the violence or viciousness of the' Viet Cong against.
their own people in South Martinsville Bulletin, Monday, In a later speech one newspaper. said it was a clear effort to counter criticism for his omission in the April 4 talk- he did mention the other side but very guardedly. He said, "I am not. absolving Hanoi or the Viet Cong of their This whole performance by King was one sided. King, assuring his listeners he was speaking as a matter of conscience, claimed U.S.
bombing may have killed one million Vietnamese, children," although he never said where he got his figures. this speech the Jewish War Veterans of 'America accused King of "pandering" to Ho. Chi. Minh; Whitney Young Jr. head of the National Urban League, took: issue with King, saying he thought the civil rights and the antiwar, movements should be kept separate; and Ralph Bunche, a Negro and undersecretary of the United Nations for political affairs, said the same thing.
a The criticism was climaxed when the 60-member board of the NAACP unanimously dechared -'the 'civil rights battles will have to be" fought and won on their. own irrespective of the state of war or peace in the world." King 'said he was saddened that the NAACP would join: in the perpetuation of a "myth." The myth, he said, is that he advocates the fusion of the civil rights and peace drives. "I hold nc such view," he said." -But Sunday on the CBS televi. sion show "Face the Nation" he explained what he had in mind: a "coalition" of the civil rights and antiwar movements. He said "a coalition on.
