Ford optimistic as inflation summit opens
WASHINGTON (UPI) — President Ford opened his
inflation summit today with optimism that the willingness
of Americans to sacrifice would see them through the
worst economic situation of a generation. But his hopeful
assessment was cha 11 eng e d immediately.
Addressing 800 of the nation’s economic leaders and 700
observers in the brilliantly lit Grand Ballrooom of the
Washington Hilton, Senate Democratic Leader Mike
Mansfield expressed dismay with the world economic
situation and with the results of the presummit
conferences that led to today’s mass meeting.
Mansfield, original author of the summit concept,
pleaded for mandatory wage-price-rent and profit
controls and warned Ford that the simultaneous
combination of inflation and recession has become “social
dynamite.”
Ford opened the meeting by declaring that the burdens

of setting the American economy right must be shared
equally. “No group should be called upon to carry an
unfair share of the load,” he said.
But he expressed optimism that curtailment of the
worst inflationary bout in many years ultimately would be
achieved. His chief economic advisers have estimated it
will take 18 months to three years.
“I have unlimited confidence in America,” the
President said. “The battle against inflation will not be an
easy one. It will require sacrifice and common effort. It
will require discipline. But we will win.”
In response, both Mansfield and House Speaker Carl
Albert, D-Okla., expressed misgivings.
Albert complained that the Democratic Congress had
been excluded from deciding the participants and the
agenda for the series of 12 meetings which led to the two

the works for one in Macon, Ga.
and another in Birmingham,
Ala.
Target date for completion of
the one in Griffin is Nov. 15. It

ATLANTA (UPI) - An
Atlanta official said Thursday
the city would buy a site in
Paulding County and proceed

suitability as a location for
Atlanta’s proposed second air
port.
Mansfield said he was discouraged that so far the
sessions have produced nothing but words and theories
which offer no relief to a nation bruised by rising prices
and rising unemployment.
“The public knows that little has been done to halt the
march of inflation,” he told Ford, who sat nearby puffing
his pipe.
Both Democratic leaders said Ford was overstressing
the value of cutting federal spending. Mansfield said
extravagance is indefensible, but huges cuts in spending
could dry up jobs, profits and output.
He listed nine steps which he said should be taken, one
of them controls—which Ford has already announced are
unacceptable.
The senator’s most innovative idea was for “indexing.”
That concept ties wage increases and tax levels to the
inflation rate so that the the real, after-tax and after-

is now holding under option in

The airlines have rejected the
Henry County site or any site

severe inflation becomes.
Speaking for the Republicans, Senate GOP Leader
Hugh Scott, Pa., said Congress must take much blame if
federal overspending has helped pump up prices. “If we
have overspent, Congress has overspent,” Scott said. “If
we lade fiscal discipline, Congress lacks fiscal
discipline.”
A leading Senate conservative, John Tower, R-Tex.,
said that if inflation is not controlled “we may lose our
entire system of government and our free society as we
know it”
Ford is expected to outline his administration’s anti
inflationary program in a closing speech Saturday
afternoon and advance indications were that he would
propose tax cuts for low and moderate income people to
help offset the burdens of inflation.
