Phase 2. In the U.S., debate continued to center on what will happen during Phase 2, which will start after the present wage-price freeze ends on Nov. 13. Administration spokesmen, including Labor Secretary James Hodgson and Commerce Secretary Maurice Stans, cautiously declined under questioning to rule out future controls on profits and dividends, which are not covered by the 90-day freeze. They had little choice but to do so, if only to avoid setting off another fit of temper by A.F.L.C.I.O. Boss George Meany, who adamantly insists that the Administration was unfair to working men and women...

His temper grew still shorter when Hodgson treated Teamster Boss Frank Fitzsimmons...

Abel and others suspect could last for "months or perhaps years to come." Although Secretary Hodgson made it clear that one purpose of his fence-mending visit to Meany was to assure him that labor will "have a voice in planning what we are going to do in Phase 2," that was hardly sufficient to placate the A.F.L.-C.I.O. chief.
