Nixon seeks 47 federal program cuts to curb inflation
U S reports inflation showing signs of abatement as Nixon requests Congress trim or abolish 47 government programs from school milk subsidies to the board of tasters. Officials say cuts are needed for a 1971 budget surplus and anti inflation aims. Wholesale prices slowed in February while the leading indicators fell, hinting consumer prices may respond sooner. Farm products jumped, lifting agriculture costs despite overall price slowing. Administration economists expect the inflation curve to flatten by year end, though timelines remain tentative.
