C of C TV'egates Boo
Sen. Joseph S. Clark
WASHINGTON UP> — U. S.
Chamber of Commerce delegates
today booed Sen. Joseph S. Clark,
(D-PaJ, for his defense of fed
eral intervention in education,
welfare and economic affairs.
Clark angrily told them they
should “grow up.”
The flareup occurred in a de
bate at the Chamber’s 49th an
nual meeting here, when the
businessman-delegates greeted
Clark’s arguments coolly and ap
plauded his conservative op
ponent, Milton Friedman, a Chi
cago economist.
Arguing for restriction of fed
eral powers, Friedman advocated
the abolition of Social Security,
the farm support program, the
securities controls, and other long
established inheritances from the
New Deal.
“You’d be a fine candidate for
the next president of the John
Birch Society,” Clark retorted.

home in San Francisco with her
