Bush outlines inflation and foreign policy stance
Odessa Rotary Club heard 19th District Republican candidate George Bush deliver a non political speech. He contrasted himself with Kent Hance and labeled inflation the nation’s top problem, urged tax relief indexed to inflation, criticized the dollar’s value, and urged a tougher NATO stance while questioning U S policy toward Taiwan and Red China. He opposed ERA extension and favored returning Social Security to its original purpose.

Wholesale prices signal mixed inflation view in July
Officials noted the old wholesale index overstates price changes by counting multiple production stages. The Agriculture Department reported declines in July for cattle hogs corn soybeans and lettuce though analysts warn it may be September before shoppers see relief. Despite the dip July prices were still 19 percent above a year earlier with June peaking in five years. Consumer prices rise about 11.2 percent this year on average. The administration aims to curb wage and price hikes while labor groups fault Bosworth for inflating unions blame. AFL-CIO talks shift to broader official input on wages.
