Price Freeze Halts U.S. Crude Oil Increases for 2 Months
The Federal Energy Administration ordered a two month price freeze on U.S. crude oil, pegging old oil at 5.20 per barrel and new oil at 11.63 per barrel through August. Officials said the move corrects February and March underestimates and aims to bring prices in line with congressional limits, with possible extension if April and May data justify further adjustments.

Ford Signs Extension of Tax Reduction Bill
President Ford signed a temporary two month extension of last year’s 15 billion anti recession tax cuts to freeze payroll withholding until Sept 1. The move delays higher taxes for workers while Congress debates a broader tax overhaul and a proposed 10 billion dollar tax cut expansion. Families with low incomes face tax increases without the extension. Ford urged permanent reductions and higher dependent deductions.

Detroit Lays Off 1,000 Policemen
Detroit plans to lay off nearly 1,000 police officers, about a fifth of the force, to close a multi million dollar deficit. The move, tied to a $103 million projected shortfall, will shift many layoffs to headquarters while preserving visible policing levels. Critics warn of higher crime and reduced services, even as some officers face federal rehiring under a court ruling.

Supreme Court limits gag orders on pretrial press reports
The Supreme Court unanimously restricted judges from censoring news about criminal cases before trial. It struck down a Nebraska judge’s October gag order on the Simants mass murder case, saying reporting from open hearings must be allowed and noting prior restraints are seldom justified. Justices White Blackman Powell Rehnquist joined Burger in the ruling with separate opinions weighing limits on press curbs. The decision marks the first major ruling on prior restraint tied to fair trial concerns.
