Administration outlines cautious inflation plan in new Nixon era
The Nixon administration unveiled its economic strategy led by Treasury Secretary David M. Kennedy, promising to fight inflation without triggering heavy unemployment. It signals extension of the 10 percent income tax surcharge beyond June and maintenance of the $35 per ounce gold price to stabilize the dollar, with emphasis on responsible budgeting and firm monetary policy. The stock market rallied later in the week as confidence grew in a measured approach, while corporate earnings showed strength and capacity utilization edged up.

State's Economy In Slight Rise
The North Carolina economy in December posted a slight 0.7 percent rise in Wachovia’s NC Business index to 184.4, continuing a five month pattern of ups and downs. Bank debits rose to 5.56 billion, up 19.6 percent from November and 283 percent from a year ago. Nonagricultural employment edged up 0.8 percent to 1,693,800, with manufacturing adding a bit more and hours worked in manufacturing rising to 41.3 per week. The Wachovia team cautioned the uptick does not signal a sustained trend and expects little growth until after the first quarter.
