Ford signals non mandatory wage price controls but keeps option open
President Ford stressed he has not embraced mandatory wage price controls, while a Council on Wage and Price Stability could urge voluntary restraint. Officials say guidelines may appear industry by industry to add leverage, with no firm mandate. Ford warned inflation remains the main problem and promised budget cuts to keep spending under 300 billion, while considering public service jobs if needed. He also pressed energy independence and hinted at a 1976 candidacy, and touched on Nixon immunity, Watergate fallout, and Cuba policy.

Broderick for balance in Vermont attorney general race
Robert Broderick runs in the Democratic primary for attorney general in Vermont advocating a blend of tough crime measures with consumer friendly energy policy. He supports capital punishment and strict drug laws while opposing extensive nuclear power and big oil influence. He argues the AG should vigorously represent ratepayers before the Public Service Board and even support a state takeover if necessary to curb rate hikes. He touts civil law experience and anti trust actions against oil firms as qualifications.

Burger Upholds Sirica On Watergate Trial Date
Chief Justice Burger refused to grant any further delay in the Watergate cover-up trial set for Sept. 30. He rejected Ehrlichman’s emergency appeal arguing for a January postponement due to extensive publicity surrounding Nixon’s resignation. Burger said only extraordinary circumstances warrant intervention and noted the case should await the normal appellate process. The trial had been delayed from Sept. 9 after the Appeals Court suggested a short postponement and Ehrlichman appealed citing publicity and prep time concerns.
