In THE TIMES today ... LONDON (AP) -- Legislation to freeze Britain's rising prices and wages dead in their tracks for one year was drawn up by the government today in a move to make controls on them stiffer than anything during the Second World War or the aus- Iterity that followed. Details of the freeze were | worked out in a series of mar- athon cabinet meetings just be- fore Prime Minister Wilson left for Washington Thursday: and outlined to labor and manage- ment representatives Thursday jnight by Economics Minister |George Brown, No. 2 man in the government. This latest turn of the screw in the government's austerity rogram to save the pound has rought warnings that labor and management might not go along --although they might have no alternative under the law. John Davies, director - gen- jeral of the Confederation of British Industry, said his group's approval for the freeze was "far from a foregone con- clusion." He added: "To put this weapon into the hands of the government is a dreadful thing." Sir Harry Douglas, chairman of the economic committee of the giant Trades Union Con- gress, was equally portentious. After a four - hour meeting Thursday night with Brown, he said: question whether the plan is practical at all now, There are many points that some of us did not anticipate.

Rising salaries were siphoned off into savings, which the government then invested in the war effort, A freeze of six months fol- lowed by a period of "severe restraint" -- to use Wilson's words--would delay salary in- jereases already negotiated for millions of workers, A freeze by law also could be taken as a shift in policy by Wilson in only a week. When he introduced the government's package of tax boosts and other deflationary measures July 20 he told the House of Commons: |"It is not our intention to in- troduce statutory controls over incomes and prices." But in Washington, where the fight for the pound is regarded as essential to the stability of the dollar, officials were re- | ported to feel that Wilson would have to stiffen the freeze with legislation. Significantly, details of the freeze were leaked to London reporters by British officials just a few hours before Wilson arrived in Washington for dis- cussions on protecting the pound.
