If Moscow wants to achieve trade con cessions from the United States, according to the bill, it will have to make it easier for Jews and other minorities to leave the Soviet Union. The conference report set oit maneuvering by Hoese and Senate leader about when final passage would occur, possibly late last night. Ignoring Moscow's pre ests against "unacceptable" interference in its emigra tion policies, the conferees agreed that should the Soviet government fail to live up to the emigration requirements, the trade bill would require the trade concessions be lifted at the, end of 18 months., The conferees also agreed on a number of other restrictive provisiqns regulating trade with Communiit countries, and specifically the Soviet Union: —A limit of $3OO million l would be placed on loans to the Soviet Union—a provision the State Department feels is unduly restrictive. —Creation of an East-West Trade Board to assure the,orderly development of U.S. trade with Communist Countries and to avoid defended the price increases and indications were the firm would maintain its stance that it needs the increases to offset higher material and labor costs. In Washington, the com merce Department reported that retail sales rose only 0.1 per cent last week ftom the previous week and only 5 per cent from the same week in 1973. This means sales volume actually declined significantly since inflation increased the dollar value of goods by 12 per cent.

A declaration circulated by the Soviet News Agency Tass said such linkage was "flatly unacceptable" to Soviet leaders and constituted a gross interference in Soviet domestic policies. The House-Senate conference nevertheless approved the trade-off provision of most favored-nation status for easier emigration from the Soviet Union., The trade bill, conceived by former President Nixon, is a key measure in the administration's structure s of detente. Besides providing authority to extend non discriminatory trade treatment of Com munist countries, the bill authorizes President Ford to enter into international trade talks on lowering trade barriers as a method of alleviating world economic problems. Lay Off Profits, Workers." In New York, Simon was cheered- by about 150 businessmen after promising the Ford administration had the "courage" to resist pressure for wage and price controls and for massive federal spending to ease recession.
