...C.E.D. statement outlines the sort of approach that President Nixon has felt is an interference with free-market principles. But the Administration's policy is now in a state of flux. Nixon advisers are disconcerted by the amount of unemployment that their policies have helped to cause, and are debating in their budget-drafting sessions how far they dare move toward restimulating the economy without stirring still more inflation.

STREET PARADES require permits virtually everywhere, as do activities in most parks and the use of sound equipment. Though permission may not be denied arbitrarily, standards of reasonableness are still in flux. Chicago reacted to the 1968 Democratic Convention riots by enacting a new law requiring the city to grant or deny permits within two days after applications are filed.
