The Cost of Living Council refused to impose controls on interest rates now while pledging future voluntary restraints. Rep. Wright Patman criticized the decision as a weak holiday gesture and accused President Nixon of violating the Economic Stabilization Act by exempting all rate types without justification. The Postal Service followed with a 23.9 percent third class rate increase effective Jan. 24 after earlier delays, and the Price Commission recently approved a 2.9 percent hike for Ford.
