Nixon's Economic Control Extended
The House Banking Committee voted 29 to 4 to extend President Nixon's economic authority to May 1, 1973 and broaden controls over wages prices rents and dividends for another year beyond April 30. The bill allows retroactive pay raises from the 90 day wage price freeze but omits some Senate provisions including a $1 billion raise for 3.1 million workers and exemption for press and broadcasting. Rep. Patman called the measure workable and kept a proposal for mandatory rate controls as contingent on a presidential finding. Price Commission approved seven price increases led by a 34 percent rise for a refrigerator and stove maker.
