Farm program cuts threaten local ASC operations in Atta

REAP grants for vegetation, terraces and waste disposal would vanish, possibly consolidating counties. FHA and SCS expect lighter immediate impact. Atta’s seven year old building houses ASC, FHA, and SCS with VanMeter noting no emergency designation this year.

Nixon Ends Wage Price Controls in Phase 3 Shift
President Nixon abolished mandatory wage price controls for most sectors, keeping food, health, and a few areas under oversight. The new self administering system aims for voluntary compliance as Congress considers a one year extension of authority. The move ends the Pay Board and Price Commission but preserves the Cost of Living Council, seeking inflation under 2.5 percent by year end 1973. Leaders in industry and labor will guide wage ceilings via a new labor management advisory panel while costs govern price increases and profit margins.
