Nixon proposes White House Office of Consumer Affairs
President Nixon asks Congress to create a White House Office of Consumer Affairs to give every American consumer a permanent voice in the White House. He urges a consumer protection division in the Justice Department and expanded FTC powers to investigate interstate commerce, plus a new consumer finance commission to study credit. He cites rising consumer debt and calls for stricter FDA safety enforcement and a new consumer bulletin. Virginia Knauer would lead the office, which would directly represent consumers against manufacturers and sellers, especially aiding low income families against fraud.

Judge rejects move ban in Turner duty to sue state
A Des Moines district judge refused to dismiss Ally Turner and Geo Richard Toner’s injunction suit against the Town highway commission over moving resident engineer offices. The ruling centers on Gov Ray’s item veto power and whether it extends to nonmoney provisions in the highway budget. Judge Clarke said the attorney general is the state’s chief law officer and that highway officials must follow AG opinions unless overruled by courts. The ruling allows legal intervention by Sens Lamborn Mogged and Schlaegel.
