Economist Urges More Wage-Price Controls
Washington economy debate centers on broader wage and price restraints with labor leaders and several Democrats. Gardner Ackley, ex-chair of the President's Council of Economic Advisers, criticizes an excess profits tax and favors stricter corporate taxes or additional controls after the current 40 day wage-price freeze. He warns profits are at low levels, the tax would be inequitable and unnecessary outside wartime. Congress may grant authority to curb business earnings, as cabinet members discuss potential actions beyond the present freeze.

Dollar Up In Europe Across Markets and Japan
European currencies rose modestly while the dollar weakened fractionally against the yen in Tokyo where the government freed the rate from 360. The gain was below the 10 to 15 percent devaluation hoped by the Nixon administration as Japan signaled continued export strength despite new policies. In the U.S. scene, Nixon blocked a Senate request for a planning report on military aid, invoking executive privilege to shield documents amid broader foreign policy and desegregation tensions across several states.
