Texas Texas Atty General warns against federal wage freeze action
Assistant Attorney General L Patrick Gray II says the price wage and rent freeze is not a policy Texas should pursue and that court action would likely uphold the Nixon order if challenged. He avoids predicting legal steps against Texas and notes constitutional grounds. The Nixon council extends the 90 day freeze to state teachers under preexisting contracts. Smith questions presidential authority over state laws and warns of future trouble if federal power overruns state policy. If the rate stays under 2 percent the program could be acceptable.
