Lets take a peek at this Do you Favor Manda tory Government Wage, Price and Credit Controls? The g domestic problem of the Federal government is inflation. over-ridin- Give Jim Beam. Fanned by the war in Viet Nam and buoyed up by steadily increasing domestic expenditures which created a succession of excessive Federal deficits, the consumers price index now stands at 129.3, a 29.3 percent increase in the cost of living over the 1957 - 59 average. Currently, Inflation is accelerating at the rate of 5 percent per year. There is a noticeable increase in my mail favoring Government controls over wages, prices and credit and I would like to have your view as to whether the Federal Government should legislate to impose these controls. They were used during World War II and contuned for a time after the war under President Truman during the Korean conflict. They were discontinued under the Elsenhower Administration. Under Government control a ceiling would be placed upon prices and wages and the ability to secure credit, particularly on installment loans would be greatly reduced. The controls would be enforced by a small army of enforcement agents. Wages would be frozen at certain levels. Price ceilings on foods and consumer goods would be published for all to see. Down payments required on installment loans would be sharply increased, and the maturity period sharply reduced. 2200 Scholarships There is still time for high school seniors to apply for one of controls. I am quite certain there is no validity to the rumor that the country is operating at standby, with controls ready to be invoked. The President and his economic advisors are disappointed that the rate of increase in inflation has not slowed down under present tools available to the Government. These tools involved principally fiscal controls and monetary con- r scholar- scholarships, are also trols. Under fiscal controls, the President (and I agree) favors sharply refuced Federal expeniture, accompanies by a phase-orather than an abrupt end to the surtax. This will keep the budget in balance, and make it unnecessary for the Federal Government to go into the money markets for additional money to finance a bigger Federal debt. But cutting Federal spending is easier said than done. Nearly everyone favors spending cuts, but on the other fellow. ut f four-yea- com-jjetiti- Presidents economic advisors also state their opposition to Specifically, Congress is appropriating above the Presidents The President has proposed spending recommendations. cuts, Including $4.1 billion military and $3.4 billion domestic, but Congress, being close to the people who are lobbying for increased domestic spending, is appropriating considerably above the President's recommendations.

President Nixon has said he will not "jawbone by suggesting wage and price guidelines, but has admonished all citizens against reckless and unnecessary spending. I oppose mandatory Government controls of wages and prices but seek your opinion.
