Its major anti-inflation effort of the summer has been the White House campaign to jawbone automakers into withdrawing proposed price increases ranging upward from $90 a vehicle. Last week the Cost of Living Council, which has been prodding the companies to shave their proposed increases, evidently decided to settle for a partial victory.
