Baugh man, president of the Federal Re serve Bank of Dallas, said Monday southwestern states would likely be disproportionately affected by the Federal Reserve Board’s most recent attempts to curb inflation. Baughman predicted the credit tightening measures — contained in a six-point program that took effect March 14 — would slow the pace of economic activity in the Southwest. Baughman also warned that if in flation did not ease soon, consumers could expect the federal government to step in with more direct measures aimed at combating the inflationary' spiral. “If this inflationary thrust does not end soon, we are going to \be ex periencing more detailed programs that will require more direct govern- . . „. ., ^nded Panam merit regulation, he sad idkl not elab Besides restrictions on yB he officia] sa growth and certain types of era* assurances t er credit, the program require® ger deposits with the Board bl member and non-member® restrains the rapid expansi® money market mutual fundseR: jkiscs a surcharge on discount! rowings by large banks.

The new anti-inflation program provides that the rate of credit growth for commercial banks and bank holding companies be limited between 6 percent and 9 percent. Baughman said the new credit res trictions were initiated in an effort to provide a more uniform impact of inflation across the economy. Thus, the growth of other types of consum er credit — like unsecured personal loans and credit card debt — needed to be restrained in an effort to curb inflation, he said. Baughman said the best thing con sumers could do to help cut inflation was to support federal budget cuts and keep personal debt at a manage able level. Consumer bill is endorsed « MANOR EAST 3 { MANOR EAST MALL t 823-8300 1 2:60 5:10 7:30 United Press International AUSTIN — Former newspaper editor Jim Hightower is the only can didate for the Railroad Commission to endorse a proposed “consumer bill of rights” restricting a gas utility company’s right to cut off service to Texas customers. Leaders of the consumer group, Citizens Organized for Reform Now (ACORN), said Monday they will confront other commission candi dates between now and the May 3 party primary elections to determine ...their stands on the proposals. The bill would require gas utilities to provide bilingual notices before cutting off gas service, give custom ers the right to a hearing before ser vice is terminated, give customers the option of a deferred payment plan, prevent shutoffs when it would seriously endanger health, and give apartment tenants the right to set up individual accounts if the apartment owner failed to pay the gas bills.
