Oil price controls eased but base levels eyed for summer
William Simon says competition keeps oil prices below base levels while demand remains strong and may push prices up this summer. Some buyers under long term contracts limit rises, with estimates of 4 to 5 percent. The administration says controls give long term planning room and a price ceiling while still ensuring adequate supply. Public reaction includes anger at old rules considered discriminatory. The Cost of Living Council emphasizes consumer access to oil at reasonable prices and flexibility to meet seasonal demand. Nixon warns North Vietnamese not to ignore U S concerns about alleged infiltration.
