frexh fish or oysters are covered for the first time I even if they have been cleaned i But still exempt 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 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 cohered 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 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 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 soarifig 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 protit margins and price markups on fruits vegetables and sea- food sold primarily at wholesale and retail Donald Rumsfeld director of the Cost of Living Council said action "cannot drive food prices down Only increased supply or reduced demand could do that Gandhi-B

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
