June Decline in New Home Sales Ends Growth Spurts
The government reports a 6.1 percent drop in new single family home sales in June, the first monthly decline this year. Despite the fall, 1975 year-to-date sales remain 6.1 percent above last year, aided by an April tax credit. Economists warned the April–May surge reflects front loaded purchases rather than rising demand.

Court upholds key provisions of campaign finance law
The ruling keeps the core of the 1974 campaign finance statute intact, striking down one minor provision as unconstitutional. It limits individual contributions to 1000 dollars per candidate per election and caps overall spending from 70 thousand to 20 million dollars depending on race. The decision also declines to rule on several other provisions while declaring the law largely valid. In a separate note, Commerce Department economist James L. Pate described June inventory data as signaling a faster, broader economic recovery with factory inventories down but wholesale and retail restocking up and overall sales rising 1.5 percent.
