Nixon clears retroactive wage payments and rent rules
President Nixon cleared the way for retroactive pay to workers with frozen raises and allowed limited rent increases under a complex set of rules. The Price Commission eyed easing Blue Cross Blue Shield rates for federal workers, while other measures touched consumer overcharges and wage contract fringe benefits. The move also extended economic controls through April 30, 1973 and set wage and price policy context for the coming months.

Hearnes says aid cuts replaceable
Gov. Warren E Hearnes said welfare cuts made last October can be restored if legislative leaders assure passage of an emergency bill. He noted a forthcoming bill to fund makeup payments and told Sen. Donald Manford that the welfare appropriation is at minimum and further cuts would occur without new funds. The welfare director had already cut general relief and disabled aid by 10 and 5 percent respectively. Manford said makeup payments would prevent losing $500,000 in federal matching funds for January.
