I 8 Nixon move buys time, politically him Qualified approval WASHINGTON (AP) President economic blockbuster buys political time and will enable him to run in 1972 on a record of having moved firmly to the defense of the economy. If the eight-point plan works, the results should certainly be known before the November 1972 balloting. The economy issue could be defused entirely. it the old policy working, either, and the new plan at least tries out some of the steps Nixon critics have been advocating.

Further, the actions announced Sunday start a new time cycle during which the administration can say, see what without it sounding as repetitive as the optimistic forecasts the White House has turned out for months. Democrats have made no secret of their attempts to force the economic issue to the forefront for 1972. Even so loyal a Nixon troop as Senate can Leader Hugh Scott said Saturday that if Nixon is to win re-election, have to win the fight against Demands for wage-price controls have grown, first from Democrats, then from Federal Reserve Chairman Arthur Burns and most recently from some Senate Republicans. Against this background, Congress scheduled hearings for October on the question of a wage-price board and Nixon agreed the administration would participate. Now, by freezing wages, prices and rents for 90 days, he has pre-empted those hearings, which likely would have produced new cries that the administration was not doing enough to stop inflation.

Even the early reaction to economic speech showed a new divergence in the Nixon opposition. Sen. William Proxmire, D- chairman of the Joint Economic Committee and frequent critic of Nixon economic policies, said he supports the program, although he said elements are overdue and may not go far enough. But Sen. George McGovern, the only announced seeker of the Democratic presidential nomination, called the program and said Nixon no faith in our workers, in our business and in the free enterprise As with his China initiatives, Nixon has embarked on a course of action which, if it works, should be worth plenty of votes.

However, even total success make every voter happy. Persons who travel abroad, for example, likely to applaud having to pay more for accomodations and services overseas. Federal workers who get pay even lose their be happy, either. But buyers of new domestic if they save $200 as the President wants, and veterans who trace new jobs to new tax incentives, should like what getting. I By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS President proposals for improving the economy have won qualified approval from a number of business and labor leaders, but some said the plans do not go far enough.

The heads of two of the Big Three automakers praised the move but an executive of a textile manufacturers group saicl the proposals get the job No comment was immediately available from the National Association of Manufacturers. An AFL-CIO spokesman said the labor organization probably would comment on the moves later today. AFL-CIO President George Meany has previously endorsed wage and price controls is applied equitably across the board. am pleased with the approach to these problems which have a bearing on all said James Roche, chairman of General Motors Corp. has taken the initiative in identifying some of these problems and coming to grips with He said the proposal for repeal of the 7 per cent automobile excise tax was a step in the right direction and will help make our cars more competitive with the foreign Roche said removing the excise tax will trim about $190 off the price of new with the savings going into the pocket of the consumer.
