Postal rate hike and floating interest amid inflation debate
The Cost of Living Council refused to impose interest rate controls for now, signaling future voluntary restraints. Rep. Wright Patman criticized the move as a holiday misstep and questioned Nixon’s compliance with the Economic Stabilization Act. The postal service will raise third class rates by about 23.9 percent from January 24 after certification that four anti inflationary conditions are met. Ford Motor Co seeks a 1.5 percent price rise on cars and trucks, its second Phase 2 increase after a 2.9 percent hike approved last month.
