Wool Act set to extend incentive payments for three years
Washington AP reports the 1970 Agriculture Act extends the Wool Act of 1954, maintaining incentive payments to bolster U.S. wool output at fixed levels of 72 cents per pound for wool and 80.2 cents for mohair for three years. Despite subsidies, U.S. wool production fell to about 162 million pounds in 1970, the smallest since 1873, as sheep and lamb numbers declined. Agriculture Secretary Clifford M. Hardin urged European allies to relax Common Market policies to expand U.S. exports, noting European import levies hinder market growth. Hardin heads an 11 member trade mission touring Europe, returning next Tuesday after discussions in Belgium and a planned stop in London.

Government plans confidential survey of 8000 firms
Washington AP reports the federal government will survey more than 8,000 selected firms next year to measure tight money effects on business investment in new plants and equipment. The effort involves a privately financed business advisory council urging changes to a questionnaire used in 1967 and aims to test clarity and usefulness of questions on credit conditions versus 1961-65. A three hour review by the council and federal officials occurred Thursday, drawing criticism from consumer groups over secrecy and panel composition under the wartime records law cited by supporters and opponents alike.
