The plan aimed for a weaker dollar to boost exports and raise imports costs, improving the U.S. balance of payments. Markets showed a modest two percent slip rather than the anticipated fifteen percent fall, amid new tariffs and GATT study groups weighing the impact. In Arkansas, 15,000 hot dogs awaited a Mills rally at Barton Coliseum in Little Rock with 5 p.m. events and 7:30 p.m. remarks, featuring Rep. Wilbur Mills and other dignitaries.
