Social Security Numbers in Driver License Appeals
A Madison Superior Court class action targets the requirement to provide social security numbers on driver license applications. Judge Paul Sehrerker granted the petition by Donna L. Barton and Bonnie Ridener, who argued the 1983 Social Security Act restricts use of numbers and that Indiana license bureaus improperly issue alternate numbers after denial. Witnesses testified about practices at local bureaus and a September hearing cited examples of refusals and alternative numbering attempts.

Upsurge In Prices Expected After Freeze Ends
A White House economist says a temporary price upsurge is possible after President Nixon's wage price freeze ends November 13. Herbert Stein, adviser to the President, predicts Phase 2 will lead to an era of price stability without controls within a year or two. He notes the inflation goal of 2 to 3 percent by end of 1972 is an average, not a rule for all prices, and some costs will rise while others fall. The Business Council members, once opposed to restraint, now support Nixon's program amid domestic economic weakness and a weaker dollar. Some wage rates may rise, others stay flat or decline.

City Council Session Turns Into Political Circus
The Anderson City Council held a special meeting that devolved into a verbal clash between two Democratic councilmen Carroll Grile and Robert Morris and Mayor J E Flanagan over a tree trimming contract with a Muncie firm. Grile and Morris alleged mismanagement and out of town hiring while union officials argued the job requires skilled, possibly union, labor around high voltage lines. The ordinance passed 62 votes amid charged exchanges and accusations of political motives.
