Johnson aims to curb inflation without direct controls
President Johnson seeks to tame an overheating economy without wage or price controls or higher personal and corporate taxes. Democrats push for tax hikes, Republicans favor indirect measures like tighter money and spending restraint. Both sides warn inflation could lead to a bust, but the president urges existing laws to hold the line and avoid radical action. Treasury secretary Fowler adds there is no alarm, aiming to maintain economic stability and political advantages in an off year.

Public notes honor Edgar Whitener’s sales leadership and Beeson Hardware, and highlight plans for community cooperation to attract and house new workers amid growth.
