Barbara Castle's job is to convince them-or at least see that they hew the line. She can refer violators to the Prices and Incomes Board, which can revoke and fine them, but plans to use discipline only "in the nature of reserve powers."

She was quick to applaud just that kind of an agreement recently (even though it will boost some wages 46% over three years) between...

He traveled widely, spoke incessantly, and became increasingly critical of the Administration.

...drugs of the same type (prednisone) range from $1.25 to $11 for 30 tablets, he declared: "The taxpayer should not be forced to pay $11 if the $1.25 drug is equally effective. To do this would permit robbery of private citizens with public approval." He asked Congress to let HEW enforce a reasonable price scale for drugs used under Medicare and Medicaid...
