Shultz warns against gunslinger price controls plan
President Nixon's chief economic spokesman George P Shultz rejects more price controls calling them a gunslinger approach. He says the administration will stick to its plan and favors boosting supplies to lower food prices. A Labor Department report shows wholesale prices up 2.2 percent in March, 10.6 percent higher than a year ago, with food up 4.6 percent. Senate rent control extension and wage price rollbacks loom as Congress debates curbs. White House press secretary Ziegler says Nixon expects actions to affect food prices in the second half of the year.
