The Ford administration backs a price-support bill seen as costly to consumers, with projected retail hikes of 8 cents a gallon for milk 20 cents a pound for butter and 10 cents for cheese. The measure clears House Rules with no floor restrictions amid support from Speaker Carl Albert, while Agriculture Secretary Butz warns it could be a painful step backward and seeks a veto if it passes.

Depletion policy may yield tax cut plan this year
Senate Finance Committee aims to approve a bill by tonight offering a tax cut up to 2000 for home buyers from April to December. Chairman Long estimates total cuts at 31.5 billion, twice Ford’s request and above the House figure. Ford signals willingness to compromise as caucus delays Easter recess until the bill passes. This would enable tax rebate checks to go out by May 1 as the oil depletion issue stays in play.
