KING United Press International The rate of inflation which prompted the government to impose wage and price controls in 1971 was half as bad as the current annual rate of 12.2 per cent. Senate Democrats now say a new round of wage and price controls must be considered if everything else fails. More auto industry layoffs were announced Thursday, bringing the jobless total to over 150,000 during the Christ mas season. And the effects of the coal strike which have spread to rail, steel and coke industries will idle 300,000 nonstrikers by December, the government estimated. But there was at least one trace of good news in the economy: Ford Motor Co. announced it was lowering the defended the S2O million he and his family have spent on his political campaigns as necessary because it is hard for a man of his wealth to attract outside money. In center is Rep. James Mann, D-S.C. (UPI) price of its compact Pinto by $l5O in an effort to stimulate buying. The 12.2 per cent annual inflation rate during the past 12 months, announced by the Bureau of Labor Statistics Thursday, was the highest rate since 1947, when the bureau began keeping such records. Prices rose 9 per cent that year. The rate of inflation during 1970 was 5.3 per cent, and during 1971, the year wage and price controls were imposed in August, the inflation rate slipped to 4.6 per cent. But it has been rising ever since, and Democrats in the Senate unanimously approved a seven-point economic agenda for the next Congress, including consideration of wage-price controls —something President Ford and labor leaders oppose. The resolution called for consideration of controls only as a last resort and Senate Majority Leader Mike Mans field said, “The key word is “consider.” The resolution also called for a jobs program, reviving the Reconstruction Finance Corpo ration, allocating credit for home-buyers, rationing gasoline if necessary, curbing excessive profits and cutting personal income taxes, and minimizing Tremors hit S.C. CHARLESTON, S.C. (UPI) - Earth tremors shook buildings and rattled windows in the South Carolina lowcountry from Charleston to Columbia early today but there were no reports of injury or serious damage. The National Weather Service described the tremors, which occurred around 12:23 a.m., as “slight, possibly a mild earth quake.” The tremors apparently were heaviest in the Charleston area.

In Detroit, General Motors Corp, said it will idle 30,000 workers at nine assembly plants in December, pushing auto industry joblessness in the weeks before Christmas to more than 150,000 workers. GM said nine of its 22 U.S. assembly plants will be shut down for one or two weeks. Chrysler and Ford confirmed plans to cut white collar workers from the payroll. Chrysler would not detail its plans, but Ford said 3,000 white collar workers will be idled throughout the company at the end of November. The effects of the coal strike have spread to related indus tries, hitting railroads first, and spreading to the steel and coke industries. Government officials have estimated that more than 300,000 nonstriking workers will be jobless by early December, with the strike certain to run past the end of November. The Penn Central Railroad said it had dropped 1,500 workers and was taking a weekly revenue loss of between $4.5 million and $5 million. Rails haul 70 per cent of coal loaded at mines, and coal accounts for 24.6 per cent of all railroad tonnage and 9.9 per cent of all railroad revenues. “We had a pretty good shake,” said a spokesman in the Charleston Police Depart ment. “Our building shook and it jarred things around.” She said police switchboards were jammed with callers inquiring about the tremors. A police spokesman in Columbia said the tremors were not felt in their second floor office, but residents in other parts of the Columbia area reported slight tremors.

The state plans to offer land purchased for 1-485 to citizens who owned each piece of land prior to the state purchases were made, said a spokesman of the transportation board staff. Property still occupied will be offered to their prior owners at the same price for which the state bought it. Land which has not been occupied will be reappraised and offered to the original owners at the ap praised price or the price of purchase, whichever is lower, the spokesman said.
