President expands price controls on foods
President Nixon extended price controls to fresh fruits, eggs, vegetables and seafood, applying after the first farmer sale. The White House estimated about 12 billion dollars in food transactions, roughly 11 percent of the food component of the CPI, with total index coverage about 2.5 percent. The Price Commission had urged removing exemptions on raw agricultural products, while the Cost of Living Council pressed ahead with its study and recommendations.

Mills to add 7000 miles to interstate system
Rep. Wilbur D. Mills will introduce a bill to expand the interstate network by 7,000 miles. Arkansas officials note the state already has 526 miles nearly finished, with Mills Freeway in Little Rock pending completion amid federal tax concerns.

Senator Seeks Clarity as Banks Hold Hidden Stock
Sen. Lee Metcalf charged banks control sizable stakes in major U.S. firms via nominee names on stock lists. He cited Chase Manhattan’s 6.5 percent in TWA and 9 percent in Eastern, 8.4 percent in National, and 7.5 percent in American, though airlines listed different holders. Metcalf warned such street names hinder regulatory disclosure and warned that 5 percent can be a controlling stake if votes are dispersed.
