Official Denies Withholding Survey Results From Budget Vote
Ohio officials denied delaying unfavorable survey findings on environmental spending to influence the governors budget. John Mountain of the Department of Economic and Community Development said there was nothing sinister about the late release tied to the 1974 75 biennium. The survey of 18000 Ohio businessmen, reported by the Associated Press, criticized the EPA and followed a budget vote by the General Assembly to restore most of the EPA funding after lawmakers faced a deadline. Mountain cited mechanics and timing, noting the data had been tallied weeks earlier and that releasing it after the budget vote was coincidental.

Restaurants Exempt From Pay Rules Amid Price Freeze Debate
The Nixon administration weighed easing the 60 day price freeze for food within two to three weeks while keeping overall controls. Restaurants were exempted from mandatory pay increases, remaining under voluntary limits as wage rises were deemed not a major inflation driver. Eleven Republican senators urged relief for the food sector, citing agricultural strain. President Nixon named Gen George S Brown to be Air Force chief of staff. Ohio Supreme Court upheld mayoral authority to hear traffic cases if city manager holds executive power. State Sen Gene Slagle filed suit to overturn a Senate ruling forcing reelection in two years.
