Ford plan to end gas control faces Democratic opposition
VAIL Colo AP President Ford moves to end federal price controls on gasoline. A Democratic Congress may block the plan. Ford aides say decontrol would have little effect at the pump, while opponents warn of possible price hikes up to six cents per gallon. The Energy Administration projects a two cent rise for unleaded fuels, lifting national gasoline costs by about 130 million dollars daily. Congress reconvenes January 4 to decide before Carter's inauguration. Rep Morris Udall denounces the proposal as unfair and inflationary.

Meat prices seen rising in 1977 but labeled reasonable
The American Meat Institute and Agriculture Department project higher meat costs in 1977. Retail beef and pork prices are expected to average about 10 cents per pound above 1976, with daily highs possibly set but still within a “reasonable” range. Cattle supplies shrink as herd sizes fall from 128 million to an estimated 118 million next year, guiding prices.
