Haiphong miniif-
not ruled out
by Melvin Laim
WASHINGTON <2P) — Secre
tary of Defense Melvin R. Laird
said Tuesday he would not rule
out mining Haiphong harbor or
establishing a naval blockade of
North Vietnam to blunt the Com
munist invasion of the South.
Laird responded with a terse,
“Yes,” when asked by Sen. J. W.
Fulbright if any thought was
being given to these possibilities.
Laird was testifying before the
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee chaired by the Arkansas
Democrat, a longtime critic of
policy in Vietnam.
The Defense secretary said
there are many contingency plans
and noted that these two possi
bilities had been discussed by the
previous administration. But
when pressed by Fulbright if they
were merely old contingency
plans, Laird said: “I would not
rule it out.”
In a four-and-a-half-hour ap
pearance before the committee,
Laird said that “any area of
North Vietnam, as long as the
invasion continues, is subject to
attack.”
But he declined to state spe
cifically whether the aerial bomb
ing of the Hanoi-Haiphor,;
was continuing. i -W

Illegal profit charges made
against biggest corporations
WASHINGTON (A*) — The Grayson’s statement thata
chairman of the Price Commis
sion said Tuesday as many as 8
to IQ per cent of the biggest
U. S. corporations may be mak
ing illegal excess profits, thus
risking punitive price rollbacks.
Chairman C. Jackson Grayson
Jr. said consumers and the U. S.
Treasury would be beneficiaries
from refunds and punitive price
reductions.
Grayson said also he may be
forced to prescribe tight con
trols on food prices to prevent
rising food prices from sabotag
ing the Nixon administration’s
war on inflation.
He told the congressional Joint
Economic Committee the commis
sion is considering decontrolling
large sections of the economy
altogether and concentrating its
limited manpower on the largest
price-leading firms.
Committee Chairman William
Proxmire, D.-Wis., disagreed with
Grayson’s optimistic projections
that the Phase 2 system of wage
and price controls is on target.
“Not only has the program not
slowed inflation so far,” Prox
mire said, “the public has no
confidence that it ever will.”
Calling the price-controls pro
gram a “pathetic failure” Prox
mire said he was astonished at
