The Herald urges Anderson's City Council to ease burdens on property owners as 1972 salary hikes pass. Republicans deny raises for top officials but grant 10 percent to police and fire and six percent for rank and file. The paper criticizes Democrats and Robert Rock, praising frugality to lower taxes from 10.10 to 9.99.
The article recounts William McChesney Martin Jr.'s phrase that the Fed should "lean against the breeze" to counter inflation, while President Nixon clashes with Fed Chair Arthur Burns over growth versus price stability. It notes Burns's inflation warning, White House pushback, proposed curbs on Fed independence, and historical echoes from Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson.
Harvard economist John Kenneth Galbraith told the House Senate Economic Committee that only permanent government controls can break big labor and big business influence on inflation and unemployment. He urged a six month wage price freeze and targeted controls on firms with 5000 or more workers, exempting farmers and small businesses. He argued free enterprise ends when a company reaches 5000 employees.
Holmes Alexander reports growing disillusionment among major conservative groups toward Nixon. A Belfast engineer, George Watt, testifies before Congress about wartime POWs and Chinese cruelty to argue for a tougher Taiwan stance. Watt warns allied nations fear U.S. concessions could embolden Mao and Chou Enlai.
A column discusses Peter Wiles and Irving Kristol arguing that The United States shows waning self confidence and will, seen in Vietnam aftermath and welfare politics. It contrasts American doubts with Soviet pride and cites The Pentagon Papers and welfare policies as factors signaling decline.
In this 1971 commentary, Herbert Hoover compares Nixon's planned China trip to balance of power aims. It argues Beijing and Moscow influence global stability, warns against appeasement, and favors shifting from ideological conflict to national interest balance guided by Kissinger and Nixon.
Paul Harvey discusses Nixon era options as wage and price restraints loom. He notes the shift from surpluses to deficits, rising government outlays, and global competition led by Japan and Europe. He cites McGovern’s freeze call and internal calls for cautious wage policy.
