Southern merchants lack price posting compliance in Phase II rules
In a Southern region sweep, about 60 percent of retailers in seven states fail to post base prices as required under Nixon era Phase II price controls. Harold Birdsell of the IRS said 40 agents are conducting an intensive, week-long check across Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Florida, North Carolina, and South Carolina, with fines up to 5000 dollars per day and possible store closures for non compliance. The effort aims to bring the South to national standards, with some indictments already issued in Tallahassee, Florida.

Senate Budget Power Upped in Virginia
The Virginia Senate will gain a louder voice in shaping the 1972-74 budget under a pact between Senate and House budget chiefs. A Senate Finance Subcommittee will meet with the House Appropriations Committee during Holton’s $5.2 billion budget review, expanding Senate influence beyond its prior role. The agreement, led by Del. Ray Smith and Sen. Edward Willey, tops a plan to avoid a separate Senate budget bill. hearings are set for Jan 20, 24, and 25 for general public input, with agency hearings later. Democratic leaders criticized Holton’s budget, aiming to cut over $100 million, while proposals to create a cabinet for deputies faced opposition. critics argued a governor should manage state work himself.

Communists Carry Cards Again in Party Revival
LOS ANGELES UP I says the Communist party may revive card carrying membership as younger activists push for renewed carded status. Gus Hall, arriving to promote a presidential bid, notes a decision at the party’s national convention in New York next month. Virginia Advisory Legislative Council backs a no fault plan for personal injury coverage with further study for auto, property damage, and survivor benefits. The plan would cap medical costs at $2,000 per person, $1,000 for funeral costs, wage loss up to $150 weekly for a year, and survivor benefits up to $7,800 or 75 percent if death occurs within a year. Open competition within the industry is urged, with rates set after filing data rather than prior approval. The VALC says the bill protects the public while giving insurers more mobility in a fluctuating market.
