Economy healthy despite steel price pressures says Conner
Commerce Secretary John T. Conner after meeting with President Johnson declared the economy healthy and likely to stay strong despite inflation worries. He argued the steel price rise will not seriously harm the economy and noted the president aligned with his view. Conner said the selective price boost is necessary for steel profits and plant expansion amid wage increases and foreign competition. The White House was asked about wage price guideline reviews and potential fiscal restraints, including a tax hike. Johnson may not reverse steel increases but directs an administration review to curb upward price movements.
