Wage-Price Controls Down To Deadline
Washington AP reports wage price controls face expiration at midnight without a compromise extending presidential authority to regulate the economy. Senate obstruction over a postcard voter registration bill blocks action, while Sen. Gale McGee holds firm for a final vote on his measure.
