Shultz Move Aims To Trim Government Bureaucracy
The chief executive praised Shultz for streamlining government and cutting administrative layers. Nixon reportedly cited Mayo’s diagnosis that Shultz favors a real business management approach and would nominate Hodgson as his successor in labor affairs. Shultz, earning 60,000 yearly, said his pay cut reflects a shift to a new post. He warned wage-price controls are unworkable while insisting inflation trends may ease as profits are restrained to temper wage demands.
