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 “I am not going to target areas,” he said.addii 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 RE AT SSUES ADMISSION FREE MSC BALLROOM 8:00, WED., APRIL 19 NIXONS VISIT TO
