Mobil Opposes Sudden Oil Price Decontrol
Mobil Oil chairman Rawleigh Warner urged a gradual end to price controls to cushion the impact on consumers and the economy. He warned a sudden decontrol could trigger higher prices and wages and risk job losses, and criticized windfall profits taxes as ineffective. He noted a $5.25 ceiling on some oil expires Aug 31, with world prices around $12. Congress has extended controls six months. Ford may veto.

Burns sees 2% grain sale price rise for consumers
Federal Reserve Board Chairman Arthur Burns told CBS that grain sales to the Soviet Union could lift consumer food prices about two percent. He said the increase may exceed the Agriculture Department’s 1.5 percent forecast and cited export controls as a potential remedy though they could create longer term problems. He linked inflation and higher interest rates to the federal deficit and Treasury borrowing, while noting current monetary policy should remain in place for now.
