Watchdog Group Sees Compliance Won By Regional Threats
A watchdog report notes voluntary compliance failed on freeze violations, with regional legal action looming. Incidents included a Western bowling alley, a West Coast restaurant, Eastern city stores, a Western trailer park, Midwestern school boards, and apartment landlords. The week ending Sept 21 saw 2,608 complaints, many about food price hikes, with New England accounting for 15 percent of complaints. In Congress, federal worker union leaders launched a push against Nixon's wage freeze beyond Nov 13, calling it punitive and inequitable. Sen. Percy urged quick removal of the 10 percent import surcharge to avert retaliation against U.S. products.
