bicentennial into a giant Christmas celebration."
'With or without the White House. they are using-, the
bicentennial era to sell products and bolster up their sagging
nudge to the American public," tie said.
'A lot of people ask me what's the matter with big cor
porations commercializing the bicentennial," Rifkin said.
I'd like to know if amone would condone General Motors or
Kellogg's taking passages from the Bible and quoting Mat
!hew and Mark and plastering them on Kellogg's Corn Flakes

roots" of the countn,

UN guard tightened for PLO
UNITED NATIONS (UPI) The United Nations will be
u:ider the tightest guard of its 29 years when Palestine
guerrilla leader Passer Arafat appears before the General
A,sernblv this week.
Not even the stormy visits in 1960 of Soviet leader Nikita
hiirushchev and Cuba's Fidel Castro created the giant
security headache that American and United NatiOns - officials
said confronted them with the expected arrival of Arafat's
Palestine Liberation Organization delegation. •

Again," points up the problem.
With only three days to the start Wednesday of the General
Assembly debate on Palestine, U.S. and PLO officials said
they still had not been able to agree on where the Palestinians
will stay for the seven-day session.
American officials coordinating complex security
arrangements among the 230-man U.N. police force, New
York City police and at least three federal agencies said they
still are pressing the Palestinians to make their temporary
home at a military garrison or Governor's Island Coast Guard
station off the southern tip of Manhattan.
Cuba'sanctions may survive
QUITO, Ecuador (AP ) Supporters of lifting economic and
political sanctions against Cuba encountered last-minute
difficulties yesterday when serveral key countries at the OAS
meeting here indicated theymay abstain in any voting.
Tweny-one countries will be voting on lifting the blockade

short of the two-thirds majority they need. That focuses at
tention on the five nations considered uncommitted: Brazil,
the United States, Bolivia, Guatemala and Nicaragua.
In addition, diplomatic sources said Haiti announce
abstention when its foreign minister addresses the conference
today. Haiti hd t been considered a-sure vote in fav,Qr of lifting
the sanctions. t.s
On Sunday. Nicaragua's foreign minister said he will ab

and aggression have continued" against his country.
Woman celebrates mass
WASHINGTON (UPI) Reciting the words "the gifts of
God for the people of God," Rev. Alison Cheek yesterday be
came the first woman to celebrate Holy Communion in Epis
copal Church in the United States.
Acting in defiance of a request from Bishop William
.~~
Creighton of the Washington dioscese, she spoke Jesus
Christ's words from the Last Supper, when He told the
Disciples the bread and wine on which they dined were His
iNdy and blood.
Worshipers from all faiths jammed-the St. Stephen and the
Incarnation Church for the service.
Rev. Cheek, along with 10 other women deacons in the 3.2
million member church, was ordained into the priesthood by
four bishops at a service in Philadelphia in July.
Two weeks later the church's House of Bishops, in, an
emergency meeting, declared the Philadelphia action
irregular and the ordinations invalid. •
At their regularly scheduled meeting in October, the bishops
said they favored "in principle" the ordination of women but
did not act to regularize or recognize the ordination of the 11.
Then, on Oct. 27, three of the women, including Rev. Cheek,
celebrated Holy Communion at a non-Episcopal church in
New York.
U.S. pledges wheat, grain
CAIRO (UPI) Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz yesterday
signed a $36.5 million agreement with the Egyptian govern
ment under which the United States will ship Egypt 200,000
tons of wheat or wheat flour during the coming year in ad
dition to 100,000 tons of grain already pledged.
The deal is a dollar credit sale that Egypt has 20 years to
repay in U.S. dollars
"In the years ahead, food, productive capa6ty must be built
up in the developing nations," Butz told newsmen, at the
ceremony. "This is the real opportunity to increase the
productive capacity of the world, and I think this is where
we're going to haire to address increasing attention."
He said, "We have only a limited supply of aid. The world
has only a limted supply of aid. We have a limited supply of
foodstuffs right now. I think all of us must be very careful to be
sure every ton reaches the area of real need."
Butz told Egyptian Foreign Trade Minister FathiMed
Matbuli, who signed the agreement for Egypt, that the United
States wanted to "extend short supplies of wheat in the critical
world needs between now and next June and July when ample
supplies again become available."
Some progress at food talks
ROME (AP) Some progress is emerging after a week's
talk at the World Food Conference, but so far the money to
back it up is not flowing fn.
The delegateS already have sewn together the basic threads
of an international grain bank plan to serve the world as a
buffer against bad weather and natural disasters.
Most countries have announced readiness to join a food
information system, a sort of alarm system proposed by the
Japanese to alert countries to changing crop and stock con
ditions so they could make required, adjustments.

liro service to the conference's main objective to increase
food production in developing countries to make them even
tually self-sufficient.
However, what conference planners sought and have not
received so far are commitments in dollars to finance the kind
of programs to put agriculture on its feet in Asia. Africa and
Latin America.
Experts want to step up the annual growth rate of food
production on those continents from 2.6 to 3.6 per cent in the
next 12 years and to do thiS they estimate the wealthy nations
must be pumping in some $5 billion a year by 1985.

Ugandan rebellion crushed
DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania (UPI) Ugandan com
mandos attempted to overthrow President Idi Amin last week
but the revolt was crushed in room-to-room combat by loyal
troops, East African diplomatic sources said yesterday.
In London, 14 British diplomats and 11 members of their
families arrived yesterday following their expulsion from
Kampala, the Ugandan capital.
At least 15 soldiers of a special -commando division.
established personally by Amin, were killed and several
others wounded in the short-lived rebellion Wednesday at
Kampala's Mbuya barracks, the sources said.
Diplomatic sources said the revolt started when com
mandos, who guard strategic installations throughout the
country, complained they htid not been paid for three months
and had not received full food rations.
Amin quickly moved loyal troops into the insurgent Nlbuya
barracks and crushed the rebels room-to-room fighting, the
sources said.
Sugar price rebellion seen
WASHINGTON (AP) Consumers in some richer coun
tries, including the United States, are rebelling against record
high sugar prices by cutting consumption, the Agriculture
Departmeht said yesterday.
"The World is likely-to consume a record amount of sugar
during 1974-74," the department said. "Higher prices,
however, will slow the rate of increase."
Retail prices in the United States have climbed sharply and
show no sign of retreating soon. Last week five pound bags of
sugar that cost about 70 cents a year'ago were selling for $2.20
or more and were expected by some retail officials to climb to
over $3 per bag in the near future.
L.C. Hurt, a specialist in the department's Foreign
Agricultural Service, said world sugar output in the crop year
which began last May 1 now is estimated at 81.1 millioh metric
tons.
Many of the poorer developing countries which produce
sugar set consumer prices and have allowed only minor price
increases domestically, Hurt said.
"There is some evidence of per capita reductions in sugar
consumption in the United States, as well as in some West
European' countries, and in Japan," he said.
