DALLAS — Ernest T. Baugh
man, president of the Federal Re

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

He also predicted large area banks
would have trouble complying with
the board’s latest anti-inflation direc
tives.
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.

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.
