2-A THE MIAMI HERALD Fri June SO 1972 PBX Produce Efftfs Seafood Included Court Chaos Fresh-Food Profits to Be Controlled Is Predicted ith Gun Ban RAW SEAFOOD products such as fresh fish or oysters are covered for the first time even if they have been cleaned But still exempf are live animals and produce sold by the farmer The Price Commission recommended last week that Nixon extend controls to raw agricultural products But that recommendation presumably applied at the farm as well The commission later dropped the recommendation after Nixon announced expansion of meat imports and indicated that the Cost of Living Council was studying what to do about widening controls WASHINGTON (AP) President Nixon extended price controls Thursday to fresh fruits vegetables eggs and seafood after the first sale by the producer The move was expected to have little immediate effect on soaring food costs In removing the current exemption on raw agricultural products at all levels except the farm the President sought to put the pressure of controls on profit margins and price markups on fruits vegetables and seafood sold primarily at wholesale and retail Donald Rumsfeld1 director of the Cost of Living Council said action drive food prices down Only increased supply or reduced demand could do that LAST WEEK Nixon decided to lift meat import quotas for the remainder of this year to increase beef and pork supplies and press down on the retail cost of meat Nixon backed off from extending controls to the farm an action that would require many additional Price Commission employes According to administration economists it also could cut off or sharply reduce the supply of meat and other fresh foods As for the impact on inflation the items put under price controls Thursday make up about 25 per cent of the cost of living index The items comprise about 11 per cent of the food component of the index or about $12 billion worth of transactions THE EFFECT of the action is to try to put wholesalers and retailers under the same profit restraints and markup provisions that apply to processors The retail cost of meat is covered by controls The Price regulations limit wholesalers and retailers to prive increases that can be justified by allowable costs In addition profit margin rules will hold them to a rate of profit no better than the rate of the best two out of the last three years For consumers the action means that items such as eggs tomatoes lettuce corn and other vegetables sold at produce counters are subject to controls Gandhi-Bhutto Talk Canceled Over Agenda AX $4' WsW- WASHINGTON (UPI) The National Rifle Association said Thursday that proposed legislation to tighten gun controls would drastically increase local government costs and swamp the already overloaded judicial system Maxwell Rich executive vice president of the NR A told a House Judiciary subcommittee that the NRA supports legislation to crack down on illegal use of weapons but "to think that criminals would register their firearms defies Assistant Treasury Secretary Eugene Rossides giving the official administration position on gun control joined the NRA in contending that registration and licensing of firearms should be left to state and local governments THIS WAY the pattern of laws dealing with the subject can better accommodate the great differences that obtain among the several Rossides said we were to establish broad federal authority in this area we would also create the need for a national police force for enforcement which concept we strongly he added The Senate Judiciary Committee approved earlier this week a bill that would ban "Saturday night The controls before the House group would be much stiffen RICH SAID that state and local governments should make gun-control decisions general police power resides in the states and not in the federal Rich said The bill proposed by the Judiciary Committee chairman Rep Emanuel Celler (D NY) would require registration of all firearms and licensing of all gun owners It would prohibit sale of handguns to anyone except police departments gun clubs and other authorized organizations such as the military Rich said in opposing the Celler bill financially impoverished many states would have imposed (on them) a program they could not Rich said The judicial system already was with the enforcement of victimless crimes in which the arrested person had harmed no LOS ANGELES and New York City officials testified Wednesday in favor of outlawing handguns now produced at a rate of a million a year in this country those cases where a person has a legitimate cause to own a handgun 'the gun should be securely locked at his place of business or at a police said New York Police Commissioner Patrick Murphy Murphy told the Judiciary Committee that there was no just cause for any person to have a handgun at home Sheriff Peter Pitchess of Los Angeles County urged the committee to ban all private ownership of handguns and even deny them to bona fide gun clubs 'V reduced the daily air strikes around Hanoi and other areas of the northern sector of North Vietnam Military sources said there were
