"If this plan 'doesn't work, we'll have
another plan," he said.
THE FEDERAL Reserve chairman
said it might take five to seven years to
reduce the inflation rate to where it
belongs-below 2 per cent-and the cost
will be slower economic growth than is
desirable.
The voluntary guidelines call for
limiting wage increases, including
fringe benefits, to 7 per cent annually
whi? restricting price boosts under a
complex formula to 5.75 per cent.

-Reflecting public skepticism about
Carter's anti-inflation program, a new
Associated Press-NBC News poll, con-
ducted Monday and Tuesday, showed
that about six of every 10 Americans.
believes inflation will worsen in the
next year. The solution that received
the most support in the poll was to
reduce federal spending.
-The Federal Reserve reported that
' the nation's factories operated at 85.3
per cent of capacity in October, a slight
increase over the previous month and
~.the highest level since an identical level
in September 1974. Nonetheless, Miller
said the economy had avoided ex-
cessive factory activity which fuels in-
flation.
-Foreign governments intervening
to support the dollar increased their
holdings of U.S. government securities
in the July-September quarter by $4.5
billion, after a decline of $5.1 billion in
the previous quarter, the Commerce
Department reported.
IN HIS SESSION with reporters, Car-
ter did not identify the special interests
whose complaints about his anti-in-
flation program he said posed "a very
serious problem."
But AFL-CIO president George
Meany, who already has rejected the
wage-price guidelines as unfair and
urged mandatory controls instead, was
reported incensed by what union sour-
ces said was Carter's refusal to discuss
the program personally with Meany
before it was announced Oct. 24.
The sources, who asked not to be

identified, said Meany might have en-
dorsed the guidelineg if he could have
met with Carter and extracted a pledge
that the president would succeed in
holding down prices.
ONE ADMINISTRATION official,
who also requested anonymity, said a
personal meeting could not be fit into
Carter's busy schedule and probably
would have been fruitless. "If the AFL-
CIO knew the program in advance and
if positions on it were already locked, it
would have been a bust anyway," he
said.
White House 'press secretary Jody
Powell,u meanwhile, sought to squelch a
published report that the ad-
ministration was considering relaxing
the wage guidelines to allow for in-
creased pension and other benefits
costs, with the aim of averting a
damaging confrontation with organized
labor.
"I don't think there is going to be any
basic change in what we've outlined,"
Powell said, adding that some of the
proposals now being considered would
result in tightening rather than
loosening the guidelines.
Powell said he asked Carter aboutthe
Washington Post report, and "he said
he never even heard of such a proposal
as described there."
