THE STATE JOURNAL April 3, 1979 Asks permanent economic controls Galbraith echoes Nixon DETROIT (AP) John Kenneth Galbraith sounded like an echo of Richard Nixon as the economist called for mandatory wage and price controls similar to those ordered by the former Republican president in 1971. At a Detroit news conference Monday, Galbraith declared that the voluntary wage and price guidelines of the Carter administration will not work. He called for permanent controls dealing primarily with large corporations and big labor unions. "I hate to seem to be giving a in favor of Richard Nixon," them off after the election. said Galbraith, adviser to Democratic "In modern society, we have speech politicians since World War II.

Staff Writer THAT CONCERN primarily has focused on the 100 block of North Washington Avenue, where land has been witheld from the market since August while a potential developer arranges financing and building plans. City officials hope to develop a hotel and office complex on the property. "The physical development committee has been very concerned about marketing practices of city-owned land by the city," Baker said.

Regarding whether the strike could halt production at Motor Wheel because of a shortage of supplies, she said, "I can't say what it's going to be in a few days or a week, but at this point, I don't see a problem." Robert Felzke, president of United Auto Workers Local 652 in Lansing, said this morning he hasn't heard today from the company about a possible impact the Teamsters strike could have at Oldsmobile. He said the strike might affect the afternoon shift and that any layoffs would occur first on the Oldsmobile assembly line. Correction Concluded from page B-1 Different architects It was incorrectly stated in Sunday's "State Journal" article, "Ex-teacher's gift boosts renovation at Beekman Center," that architects Frank and Stein of Lansing designed the addition for the school.

Frank and Stein designed the original school, but not the addition. Architect for the gymnasium and renovation project scheduled for construction this summer is Manson, Jackson and Kane of Lansing.
