State sales tax urged to help quake victims
Two California congressmen urged California to adopt a temporary one cent sales tax increase to aid about 1,000 quake survivors from the February Sylmar disaster. Reps. Goldwater and Corman said federal relief has peaked and that further funds are unlikely. They note $436 million spent in relief so far and cite potential local tax relief options, while pushing for a national disaster insurance plan and private hospital rebuilding with public funds.

Construction wage-price plan heads to White House
Labor and management in the construction industry agreed to accept wage and price stabilization machinery if President Nixon restores federal support for construction wages. A separate stabilization board would review contracts to determine inflationary impact and settle disputes for each craft or branch. The plan does not include a wage and price freeze and requires possible executive action to revoke the Davis-Bacon Act suspension.
