Nixon extends wage and price controls into 1973
Washington reports indicate Phase 2 wage price and rent controls will remain in force through April 30 1973 with Nixon signing the bill and administration officials hopeful that restraints may end before 1972 ends. The measure raises federal civilian and military pay with cost surpassing 1 billion dollars and includes provisions for frozen pay. AFL CIO President Meany calls it a win for labor and 1.7 million teachers benefit. Commerce Secretary Stans projects a strong 1972 economy though de control timing remains uncertain. The Rent Advisory Board warns rents could rise up to 30 percent in rare cases amid 3 to 3.5 percent guidelines.
