By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS President Nixon achieved a partial rollback of a steel price increase Monday, and launched a move to stem the wage-price spiral in the construction indus try. In a day packed with economic developments major interest rates continued to slide, and the government reported that the na tion’s real output of goods and services in the 1970 final quarter took its sharpest quarterly de cline in 11 years. tinder pressure from the White House along with competitive reasons, Bethlehem Steel Corp. trimmed to 6.8 per cent a previ ously announced 12.5 per cent boost in prices for steel used in construction. U. S. Steel had come out with a 6.8 cent boost last Saturday after Nixon called Bethlehem’s increase enormous and raised the threat of permitting more steel imports. On the construction front, Nix on called on the industry’s labor and management leaders to take “early action to attack the wage and price spiral.” The President called the prob lem “a crisis situation” and asked the industry leaders to make rec ommendations to him within 30 days. He didn’t make any sug gestions of his own. As for what direction the at tack might take, Secretary of Labor James Hodgson said, “The field is wide open.” Hodgson was asked if Nixon’s action was the “jawboning” that he had previously avoided. Hodg son replied: “What is jawbon ing? If it is the President dis cussing wages and prices and the need to do something, then this is jawboning.” Major commercial banks re duced their prime lending rate to 6 per cent from 6V4, per cent in the third cut this month. The prime rate is the interest charged on loans to the biggest corporate borrowers.

AUSTIN (A>) — Students at Texas’ private colleges have more elbow room than those in state- financed institutions. The College Coordinating Board reported recently that public four-year and master’s level in stitutions have an average of 14.7 square feet of classroom space per full-time student while priv ate colleges have 26.1 square feet. The board study includes in formation from 113 Texas public and private institutions during 1969. Texas public and private schools of higher education re ported a total of 4,639 buildings, with an estimated value of $975 million. Values reported by pri vate schools accounted for 48 per cent of that amount. The total building space on all Texas campuses was almost 53 million square feet. Of that about 28 per cent (15 million square feet) was in private and 72 per cent (38 million square feet) was in public colleges and universities. There was more classroom space available per full-time stu dent equivalent in all three types of private institutions—two-year, four-year and master’s and doc toral—than in public institutions of the same categories. The study also reported that more than 90 per cent of all buildings in use on Texas Cam puses was in satisfactory condi tion. About 6 per cent needed major repair, and about 2.5 per cent was classified as needing to be razed. Cbe Battalion Opinions expressed in The Battalion are those of the student writers only.

EDITOR DAVID MIDDLEBROOKE Assistant Editor Hayden Whitsett Managing Editor Fran Zupan Sports Editor Clifford Broyles serve banks. These banks are in Boston, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Atlanta, Minneapolis and Dallas. This was the fourth cut in the discount rate — the interest the Federal Reserve charges on loans to member banks — in the last two months and the second in the last 11 days. The declining rates reflected a slackening demand for loans and an expansion of available lending funds. The Commerce Department re ported the gross national product — total of all goods and services — fell 3.3 per cent to an annual rate of $721.3 billion in noninfla tionary dollars in the last three months of 1970. A department economist blamed the decline on effects of the strike that closed down General Motors Corp. oper ations for nearly two months. The various developments had little apparent effect on the stock market. The Dow Jones average of 30 industrials posted a modest gain of 2.12 points to 847.82. Vol ume on the New York Stock Ex change was active, totaling 15.4 million shares. Wallace issues call for ‘people power’ MONTGOMERY, Ala. UP) — George C. Wallace took office as governor of Alabama again Mon day with a new battlecry, “people power,” the prelude perhaps to another presidential race. His theme was more moderate than his “segregation forever” stand of eight years ago. Only a massive protest at the ballot box, led by Southerners “and those who think like us,” Wallace said in his inaugural address, can “save this nation from those evil forces who seek our destruction.” “Without a mass movement of the people,” he declared, “the present trends of despotic and centralized government can and will destroy America.” Departing from his prepared text, the new governor said the two national parties “had better give tax relief to the working man and put the burden on the shoulders of the filthy rich of Wall Street or they might wind up short in the next election.” Later, recalling that he has been active in national political affairs, he said “to those of the national news media who are here” that if it becomes neces sary “I will be active again.” In recent months, particularly while he was campaigning for governor, Wallace softpedaled talk of another run for the White House. But he kept alive his third party organization and main tained a full-time headquarters in Montgomery. Adkisson named to U. N. experts panel Dr. Perry L.
