Nixon Sees Food Prices Falling Later This Year
President Nixon defended budget cuts as a way to stretch the family dollar and forecast that food prices, though rising for months, should ease in the second half of the year. He argued social programs must be trimmed to save money for successful efforts. He noted wholesale food price hikes and expected retail increases in January and February, but said expanding food supplies would relieve households without harming farmers. He stressed continued price controls and planned to send the economic section of the State of the Union to Congress.
