Attorney General overrules Smith in wage freeze dispute
Texas Attorney General Crawford Martin ruled that state agencies must follow President Nixon’s wage price freeze and withhold planned Sept 1 pay raises for government workers and teachers. The opinion challenges Gov. Preston Smith’s proclamation and directs Comptroller Robert Calvert to enforce the freeze, with the Justice Department planning a federal suit. Martin said Calvert’s payroll duties give him the leverage over state checks. He planned to discuss the case with Justice officials in Washington and meet with Treasury Secretary Connally, a former Texas governor and Nixon appointee.
