Senate reformers' bid stalled by filibuster rule clash
In Washington, Sen. James Allen defeats reformers seeking a three fifths threshold to end filibusters, forcing them back to the drawing board. Sen. Walter Mondale notes regrouping as Vice President Rockefeller issues two rulings that block immediate action. The clash centers on whether a rules change can be adopted by majority at the start of a Congress, or requires a two thirds vote to carry over. Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield challenges the procedural moves while Rockefeller cautions against counting motions as valid.

Economic indicators show inflation and recession persist amid mixed signs
In late 1974 American consumers faced the worst price surge in history and a sharp GDP drop, yet forecasters foresee some relief by year end. The Federal Reserve expanded money supply to 12.839 trillion, loan demand rose, and stocks held firm as analysts predict inflation easing to around 5 percent. Ford reported a 60 percent earnings drop for 1974 to 361 million dollars, with industry profits totaling 1.3 billion for the year, the weakest nonstrike year since 1958.
