Lead Paint Ban Ordered by FDA for 1973 End
The FDA banned all but trace amounts of lead in paint by end of 1973 to reduce health risks. Protests from paint industry followed a 1972 goal to cut lead in paint from 1 percent to 0.5 percent by 1972 and to 0.01 percent by 1973. About 400,000 children suffer lead poisoning causing brain damage and death. Flaking prewar housing paint identified as a major source. Dr Merlin K. DuVal said lead poisoning causes 200 deaths annually and costs about $200 million yearly in losses and care. FDA Commissioner Charles C. Edwards noted he may decide further steps.

Prime Rate Increase Signals Banks Move Upward
The nation's second largest commercial bank, First National City Bank, said its prime lending rate will rise from 4.38 to 4.42 percent effective Monday. Most banks have kept rates at 4.34 percent since January, with Citibank leading the small rise. Floating prime rates track money market conditions and affect consumer credit later. The move follows a prior decline from 8.50 percent in 1969 and a brief 6.0 percent level in 1972. The FTC and HEW actions on lead paint were noted alongside other regulatory steps affecting industry and lending.
