Nixon plans inflation alert and productivity panel
Washington leaders pushed back on the inflation alert concept while Nixon names a 24 member National Commission on Productivity. He orders a periodic inflation alert to spotlight wage and price increases, but officials deny direct jawboning on firms or unions. Democratic critics call the plan too soft and blame corporate pricing and profits. Labor leaders worry about voluntary wage restraint and economic impact.

Strategy Shifts Help 18-Year-Old Voting Passage Vote
In Washington the House approved a Senate bill extending the Voting Rights Act and adding an 18-year-old voting provision by a 272 to 132 vote. The move, pushed by Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield, faced opposition from Rep. Emanuel Celler and drew President Nixon into a tense political frame as civil rights groups watched.
