Nage and price

controls rumored

ST. JOHN’S - The federal

government has prepared -

a new program of wage
and price controls likely
to be introduced as part
of next month's budget, a
national labor leader said
Tuesday.

John Fryer, president
,of the national Union of
Provincial Government
Employees, mentioned
the rumored program
almost as an aside during

his address’ to the annual
es vention of the
Newfoundland and
Labrador Federation of
Labor.

Fryer said the
government had “agreed
to the re-imposition of a
wage-control program,
‘based on an incomes
policy. They are calling
this son of the Anti-
Inflation Board, this new
form of controls, “TIP.”

Nuclear war
suicide -Brezhnev

MOSCOW — Soviet
Presidcnt Leonid
Brezhnev said Tuesday
that any sort of nuclear
war between the super-
powers would be
“dangerous madness ...
sujcide,’” and = he
challenged President
Reggan to clarify his
pofition on limited
atomic warfare.

“It would be good if the
president of the United
States would make a clear

and unambiguous
statement rejecting the
very idca of nuclear

attack as a criminal onc,”

Brezhnev said.

The Soviet leader's
statement was the first
Kremlin reaction to
Reagan's comment last
week that he could en-
vision a nuclear exchange
in Europe that would not
escalate into all-out
atomic warfare between
the United States and the
Russians.

“Only be who has
decided to commit
suicide can start a nucicar
war in the hope of
emerging with a victory
from ut,” Brezhnev said.

Less than a year after the a

Later the price went up to
