Four Years For The Job On Emission Free Cars
President Nixon signed a major pollution bill setting a four year deadline for cars to meet near zero emissions by January 1975 with a possible one year extension. Industry laments aside, progress is noted as feasible with overseas and domestic research advancing, including a Dutch firm claiming a 200 horsepower non polluting engine. Detroit optimism grows that the standard may be achieved.

Symmes urges river canal to aid Miami navigation
Middletown diary notes John Cleves Symmes urges Butler County to back an act authorizing an inclined plane sluice through Miami River mill dams to permit loaded flatboats to pass up or down. Flatboats, vital for moving surplus farm produce to New Orleans, faced dam restrictions. Records show 79 flatboats from Middletown headed for New Orleans in six months, with vast cargoes. If navigation cannot improve, a western canal is proposed as alternative.

Economics Is Inexact In TV Debate Between Friedman and Galbraith
On the Advocates program a former AEA president Milton Friedman and John Kenneth Galbraith debated wage and price controls. Friedman argued controls do not work, citing centuries of failure and examples in Europe, while Galbraith urged selective six month controls to curb inflation and unemployment. Inflation was seen as decelerating, with unemployment largely due to new graduates.
