Pay Board business members challenge pre August 15 raises
Five Pay Board business members issued a blanket challenge against any contracts or pay practice commitments made before August 15 1971 to exceed 7 percent annual raises. The move targets pre freeze agreements and could roll back many scheduled increases, with labor and industry reactions uncertain as the board weighs individual challenges. The same session saw contention over 12 percent aerospace raises affecting about 300 000 workers. The Bangladeshi government arrived in Dacca amid a boisterous welcome.

Rent rules set by Price Commission spark landlord stand
The Price Commission outlines new rent guidelines claiming 3 to 3 percent typical increases in 1972 with possible 15 to 30 percent rises for some tenants. Critics call the plan a landlord boon and tenants’ hoax. Rules tax rents by lease type and allow a 2.5 percent cost pass through, with rollbacks or refunds if not compliant. Effective December 29, the guidance aims to balance operating costs and new leases while limiting hikes.

Endowment Secures Bald Knob Cross Upkeep in Southern Illinois
An elderly Southern Illinois couple has set up a 100000 dollar endowment to fund maintenance of Bald Knob Cross near Alto Pass, with Wayman Presley of Makanda confirming the gift. Presley hopes the endowment spurs further donations for a carillon and amphitheater, while noting a separate 15000 dollar pledge for a chapel and ongoing efforts to fund road paving to the cross. He recounts past political vetoes on road funding and mentions potential support from politicians if asked.
