They are still balking. They want the United States to come part way by directlyrdevaluing the dollar; that is, raising the price of gold. They want assur- ances on the removal of the surcharge before revaluing their currencies and removing trade barriers. The deadlock has magnified antagonisms across the Atlan- tic, and soured relations be- tween the United States and its two greatest trading partners, Canada and Japan.' The United States, meanwhile, had its first balance-of-trade surplus in six monhts in Sep- tember,. a $250-million margin that was helped by a rush of shippers to beat the Oct. 1 start of a dock strike. And the sur- charge brought in nearly $100 million in customs revenue. As a protective tariff and revenue-raiser, the surcharge appeared to have had consider- able success. But as a persuader of this country's trading part- ners it hasn't worked, so far. By contrast there is proof- in the form of the consumer price index -- that the wage- price freeze did work. How ef- ficiently it worked is a matter of some argument. All govern- ment reports show excellent compliance. Some private re- ports do not. Larger firms unquestionably observed the freeze. In one sam- pling of 10,951 business firms, the Internal Revenue Service said it found 10.150 complying. Of the others. IRS got quick voluntary compliance in 499 cases.' Some unofficial inquiries pro- duced other results. The New York Times reported last month that retailers raised the prices of seven out of 27 cuts of meat illegally. The Times said the federal order requiring merchants to provide lists of freeze prices was more often ignored than not. A computerized price watch start- ed by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employes corroborated t h i s finding on a national basis. The OEP reported four ma- jor areas of concern and com- plaint, out of an analysis made available to the President's new Phase 2 control agencies, the Price Commission and the Pay Board. These were: -Complaints from groups, such as school teachers and unions, which had wage in- creases scheduled but were un- able to collect them; -Merchants objecting to the requirement that they maintain price lists for inspection; -A spreading feeling by the public that prices, especially in grocery stores, were not being frozen as hard as wages and rents and that the freeze fav- For the student body: FLARES by ~'Levi Farah Wright Lee "Male CHECKMATE State Street at Liberty ored business over workingmen; and -Rising concern,bconfusion and uncertainty about what would happenrto the price- wage control program when the freeze ended. Labor's antipathy for the freeze plague Nixon's policy- makers from the start. The freeze was just four days old when AFL - CIO President George Meany described it as. "inequitable, unjust, unfair and unworkable." Then Secretary of Labor J.D. Hodgson said Meany was "sad- ly out of step" with the labor movement, and Secretary of the Treasury John B. Connally ac- cused the 77 - year - old labor leader of "rank demagoguery." Faced with possible collapse of his program for labor-indus- try - public cooperation in a price-wage program before it was even started, President Nixon took steps to placate the AFL-CIO. He promised a tripartite Pay Board with labor, management and public members, and pledg- ed - despite hints-to the con- trary from Connally - that it would have independent and au- tonomous power over wage cases. Meany and four other union leaders took seats on the Pay Board. The board's deliberations culminated last Monday in a 5.5-per-cent y e a r 1y general guideline for Phase 2 pay in- creases and the approval of de- ferred pay increases under exist- ing contracts except for those "unreasonably i nc o n s i s t- ent" with the 5.5 percent stan- dard. But the five industry and five public members overrode labor's demand for retroactive pay- ment of scheduled pay boosts that were blocked by the fieeze.

Washington 668-7942 LDYNACO-SCOTT WILD SATURDAY and SUNDAY SHAME (Continued from page 1) The universities, however, have gone ahead with these programs on their own because, as Daane says, the state constitution sharp- ly limits the boards powers to "planning and advising" institu- tions of higher,education. As the board joined the side of the state, another group joined the side of the "Big 3" universi- ties. The Michigan Association of Higher Education, which repre- sents faculty at some of the small- er state schools, entered the case this month, particularly concern- ed about the impact of the suit on faculty teaching requirements. But even when Ingham County (Lansing) Circuit Judge Marvin Salmon hands down his decision later this month, the end of the dispute will not be in sight. Both sides have said they will appeal the case to the State Supreme Court - a process Krasicky says could take another two years. If the case is eventually decided in favor of the state, the implica- tions could be expensive. By tying controls to future appropriations bills, the Legislature could spread its influence into nearly every aspect of University life. And if the case goes for the universities, the current limita- tions on their operations would be removed, and their autonomy from state or board of education control would once again be de- fended. But th degree of control which either side would exercise after the decision remains unclear. It is unlikely the Legislature would movetoassume control over many aspects of the Uni- versity. For when the Legislature had the chance to assume such control - in the form of a pro- posed constitutional amendment which would have stripped the universities' constitutional autono- my away - the proposal was soundly defeated' by the State Senate in July, 1970. The University, on the other hand, mustalways keep somewhat attuned to the wishes of the Leg- islature-because that body con- trols the pursestrings on Univer- sity funds. As Daane says, "A working re- lationship must be maintained. The Legislature might be told to 'go bag it' but the next year it will keep funds low." "With autonomy and 15 cents, all you can buy is a cup of coffee." Indeed, it seems that the uni- versities' timidity in "stepping on the toes" of the Legislature when appropriations time has approach- ed, has been one reason the suit has taken so long. The universities would apparently press their case at times and then let up during negotiations with the state. So, though the questions of autonomy are both important and far-reaching for the University and the state, they are questions which have, it seems, no easy answers, or no immediate solu- tions. Award granted The Society of Economic Geolo- gists will present its annual Lind- gren Award to Alexander Brown, recently a graduate student in the geology department, for his research on the White Pine copper deposits of Northern Michigan. This award is based on an inter- national competition and g o e s to that student whose research as a doctoral candidate is deemed outstanding by the society. Brown is now an assistant professor in the geology department of t h e Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal. STUDENTS, FACULTY, STAFF U. of M. STUDENTS, FACULTY, STAFF U. ofM.
