Mills Draft Push Gathers Pace For Presidential Bid
Wilbur D. Mills, longtime House Ways and Means chair and Arkansas Democrat, nears a decision on entering the Democratic presidential race. A Draft Mills for President Committee, run largely by volunteers, seeks funds and volunteers from The Washington Post ad campaign, while allies speculate on a wide open convention or Mills siphoning resources from Nixon or Wallace in a strategic bid.

Wage-Price Control Legislation Pushed
Nixon administration is finalizing a bill to extend authority to curb wages prices and rents until April 1973 and seeks new powers to limit interest rates and dividends. It may create an emergency court of appeals for Phase 2 cases and empower the Pay Board and Price Commission to subpoena records and set standards. The measure would speed post freeze litigation and ease government enforcement. Treasury Secretary Connally urged bipartisan support for Phase 2 amid criticism. Citizens for a New Prosperity launched efforts to build backing, while a Nov. 1 deadline was set for posting ceiling prices after the 90 day freeze ending Nov 13.

Bumper Fall Harvest Has County Elevators Buzzing
A bountiful fall grain harvest has stretched truck lines for blocks at Franklin County grain elevators. Rail service and night loading kept doors open as Baldwin Grain closed. Yields are strong with high test weights and low moisture, but prices are weak so farmers store or sell selectively. Milo and corn yields exceed 100 bushels per acre, beans variable, and storage dominates amid brisk activity across multiple co-ops and towns including Richmond Ottawa and Princeton.
