Fuel Controls Board weighs further delay in Phase 4 rules
NASHINGTON AP The Cost of Living Council considers a third extension of the gasoline price freeze as Phase 4 regulations for retail sales face possible delay. William N Walker says the Saturday start may slip while the council appeals a district court ruling deemed arbitrary. Prices in wholesale hog and cattle markets have fallen, potentially easing some retail costs. Small firms not under Phase 4 have reportedly raised prices, but officials say the impact may be uneven and temporary.
