Meat Packers and Banks Pressed to Help Consumers
The Nixon administration urges meat packers and banks to aid housewives and homebuyers. Continental Winds Bank & Trust Co Chicago trims its prime rate increase to 6 1/4 percent, while Franklin National Bank New York aims to hold at 6 3/4 percent. The committee favors moderation and a possible dual prime rate for big vs small borrowers, as costs for consumers are watched. A separate action requires meat packers to pass along cost declines to shoppers dollar for dollar, expanding from large firms to nearly all producers. Inflation trends and consumer wages are noted as prices may ease by year end.

White House rejects Senate testimony from Sen. Byrd and FBI Director nominee L. Patrick Gray alleging that John W. Dean III lied when questioned about the Watergate wiretap. The statement says Dean recalls June 1972 as answering about visiting Hunt and that the question did not concern Hunt’s office in the Executive Office Building.
