No fault auto plan loosened by compromise in Harrisburg
Insurance Commissioner Herbert Denenberg said the administration abandons its original no fault auto insurance plan for a compromise version. The bill would allow limited pain and suffering suits only if medical expenses reach 2500 or more or there is permanent loss. caps include 50000 in medical expenses and 9100 in lost wages. Critics call it a hodgepodge and warn it could erode victims rights, while supporters say it has a high chance of passage.

Inflation fears prompt moderation of business expansion pace
The Nixon administration aims to curb the growth rate of the economy to avoid reigniting inflation. Herbert Stein, counsel of economic advisers, said federal spending for 1973 should stay at 246.3 billion dollars as growth accelerates, with a policy to balance expansion and inflation. The Commerce Department revised GDP higher for Q1 1972 to 1.103 trillion, a 12 percent annual rise, with real growth about 5.6 percent after inflation. Consumer credit surged, personal savings fell to seven percent of disposable income as consumers led the expansion.
