Inflation headway possible despite figures headlined
United Press International reports Chairman Arthur Burns of the Federal Reserve says inflation remains very serious but can be controlled with proper policies. President Ford urges Congress to aid business financing to expand and create jobs. Burns notes July inflation 14.4 percent as a warning, while grain sales to Russia may lift food costs by as much as 2.5 percent and Butz cites 1.5 percent. Ford calls for tax credits, dividend tax reform, and regulatory reform to spur investment and job growth.

Energy official foresees heating fuel price rise
Vermont Deputy Energy Director Bruce Haskell told a Norwich conference that home heating fuel will cost 3 to 5 cents more per gallon next year and gasoline will rise 5 to 7 cents per gallon if fuel price controls expire August 31 and Ford loses his appeal of the Supreme Court ruling on oil import fees. He warned a natural gas shortage will strain all energy markets while noting no major heating fuel or gasoline shortage. Senator Robert O'Brien proposed a new state energy agency and local energy bureaus, alongside talks on solar, wind, bio-gas, and wood energy.
