Claim Gains in Fight on Inflation
The Nixon administration asserts its orthodox policies curb inflation though not a total victory. Labor data show June prices up four tenths of one percent, annual rate 4.8 percent, easing from 6.1 percent in 1969. Kennedy and Hodgson say inflation is receding while the economy grows. Mahon urges cooperation with tighter spending. House Bank Committee gives Nixon standby wage and price freeze authority he won’t use. In Little Rock, Little River County braces for another bank charter in Ashdown after testimony of local support.
