Jones agreed, saying congress had "rejected the poverty level earnings as prescribed by the Office of Management and Budget as a yardstick for determining exemption from wage control." "It is the clear intention of congress that the authority of this act (the wage-price law) should not be used to penalize wage earners by retarding progress toward achievement of an adequate standard of living," Jones said. "Certainly that standard of adequacy cannot begin much before the $7,000 a year income level is reached."

The man who until two months ago was the only Democrat in Nixon's cabinet accused McGovern of sabotaging the President's Vietnam peace efforts and sharply criticized other McGovern positions as "radical in character." As he emerged from a three-hour meeting with Nixon, Connally again left open the possibility he would accept any offer to be Nixon's vice presidential running mate. "I haven't closed any doors and I don't want to," Connally said, adding that "I don't think it will be offered." Talking with newsmen on the lawn at Nixon's ocean- The Assocleted Prest WASHINGTON A federal judge yesterday ordered the Cost of Living Council to raise its wage control cutoff point above $1.90 per hour. The order affects about 14 million workers.

U.S. District Judge William B. Jones, in the first successful court challenge to President Richard Nixon's stabilization program, ordered the council to abandon its $1.90 per hour cutoff point above which raises are limited to S.S percent. Agreeing with labor unions, which charged that the cutoff point was too low, Jones said the council exceeded its authority in setting and enforcing the $1.90 limit. The Cost of Living Council, which had no immediate reaction to the decision, had estimated earlier that about 14 million workers are being paid between $1.90 and $3.35 an hour.

Jones, in his 20-page opinion and order, did not spell out precisely how much money a person must make to come under the S.S per cent-a-year limit. But he suggested that $3.35 an hour, which figures out to about $7,000 a year for a family of four, would be reasonable. The ruling does not automatically guarantee salary increases to the level, but it entitles employes to negotiate for such in-creases, something that couldn't be done under past regulations. The case arose from a suit filed by AFL-CIO President George Meany and other unions against the Cost of Living Council soon after President Nixon announced his 90-day wage freeze Aug. IS.

The council's $1.90 figure was based on a study by the Office of Management and Budget, which said that urban families of four with yearly incomes of less than $3,968 a year are considered poor. The council said $3,968 a year works out to be $1.90 per hour for a wage earner. The unions argued the $1.90 figure was unrealistic and asked the court to set a higher figure based on a Bureau of Labor Statistics study. that had been filed since the imposition of the new tax Jan. 1.
