Nixon wage price freeze faces constitutional scrutiny
Federal judge Aubrey E. Robinson Jr. refused a temporary injunction against the 90 day wage-price freeze but kept the record open for further arguments. He ruled the constitutional question substantial while noting the professors failed to prove likely success or irreparable harm. The Labor Dept reported wholesale prices up 0.3 percent last month, and the dollar fell abroad. The NEA disputed government claims about teacher raises under the freeze, while Nixon postponed a $1.3 billion pay raise for servicemen and federal workers.
