Panel defeats Spending plan WASHINGTON (UPD—'The Senate Budget Committee yesterday rejected a proposal that it recommend a heavy dose of additional federal spending to induce economic recovery. Cowed bv the huge deficit it already has agreed upon, the panel defeated by a 10-4 vote the suggestion of liberal Sen. Walter F. Mondale, D-Minn., to recommend an additional $4 billion for such stimulants as public service iobs.'health in surance for the unemployment, aid for home.buyers and anti foreclosureloans. In a 13-hour session stretching deep into the night Wed nesday, the committee approved a $366.1 billion spending target for the fiscal year starting July 1. This would result in a deficit far beyond the $6O billion maximum President Ford said he would tolerate. Officially, the committee estimated its proposals would create a 567.2 billion deficit, but that figure assumed that Congress would allow to expire at the end of 1975 the income tax cuts it enacted last month. i Higher prices not necessary Energy-saving WASHINGTON <AP) - A bill giving -federal and state officials broad powers to torce Americans to save energy without paying the higher prices advocated by President Ford was passed by the Senate yesterday The final vote was 60 to 25. The measure, still subject to House consideration, would virtually kill Ford's own conservation program by allowing house of Congress to block his plans for removing federal controls trom oil prices. Ford has indicated he will attempt to remove the con trols next month in an effort to force energy conservation Opponents say such action would raise fuel costs Sl9 billion a year. In addition to the provisions requiring joint federal-state efforts to save fuel, the bill would give the president standln authority, with Car wash set to help injured youth If you have a car that needs to be washed, a bike you need cleaned up or even a pair of shoes shined.

In a letter to associate professor of regional planning Ambrose Klain. University President John W Oswald granted Klain a one-vear extension on his retirement previously scheduled/ for June. Klain said. / "I spent a half year to defeat a heartless, humanless University." Klain said. Provost Russell Larson had denied Klain an extension last January, citing University policy to grant such ex ceptions only; in unusual circumstances. The Capitol Campus Faculty Council then was denied its request for a hearing to look into the matter The administration said the matter already had been reviewed, according to Christopher McKenna, faculty council chairman It is University policy to grant extensions for only one year. Klain said Therefore, he said, he is already preparing for the fight next year. "This shows that a little man can still achieve a remedy to his problems." Klain said.

Muskie, D-Maine; said “realistically” the committee’s proposals would result in a $74.4 billion deficit. He said he wciuld propose new cuts if the committee went beyond a $75 billion deficit, which he figured was the most debt the economy could absorb. But Sen. Ernest F. Hollings, D-S.C., said the committee is too optimistic about tax revenues, the rate of economic re covery and the government’s profits from the sale of oil leases. He calculated the panel’s proposed deficit at $80.6 billion. Under a new congressional reform, the Senate and House Budget committees are to recommend spending targets so Congress, for the first time, will have a total in mind as it considers proposals. Under the old procedure, the money bills were passed piecemeal with no knowledge of what they might all add up to. In its recommendations, the Senate committee: —Called for earmarking $1.9 billion for rehabilitating the nation’s railway roadbeds. —Without a formal vote, implicitly rejected Ford’s proposal to limit this year’s cost of living increase in Social Security payments to 5 per cent. The House Budget Committee called for a 7 per cent ceiling. Without any ceiling, 31 million recipientswould get an increase in July of at least 8 per cent. —lndicated, again without a formal vote, that it favored a 5 per cent ceiling on federal and military pay increases this year but no ceiling on federal pension payments. bill passed mandatory-conservation provisions from the bill. The Fannin amendment failed on a 60-25 vote. Under ,those provisions, the Federal Energy Adminis tration would establish regulations designed to cut energy consumption by about 4 per cent over the next 12 months. This would be equivalent ,to saving an estimated 800,000 barrels of oila day. In a statement, Fannin and other Republican members of the Senate Interior Com mittee indicated that voluntary conservation and Ford’s plan of higher fuel prices would be a better solution to the energy problem. Under the bill, the.states would use the FEA regulations as the basis for energy-conservation programs tailored to fit their special requirements. spokesman Bob Lauffer, “We see that we are doing good immediately.

Congress would have authority to veto .any con servation regulation proposed by FEA for state en forcement. The ' bill specifically bars any state from using rationing or higher taxes to conserve fuel. Sen. Henry M. Jackson, D- Wash., chief author of the bill, called the measure a substi tute for President Fold’s own conservation plan, which is based on raising energy taxes and allowing fuel prices to rise to curb demand. The bill extends federal controls over oil prices at least until March 1, 1976, jand blocks any presidential effort to raise the ceiling on prices unless Congress gives its specific approval. Under the controls system, 60 per cent of domestic oil production is frozen' at per barrel, while ; the remaining 40 per cent is allowed to rise to the world level, currently about $12.40 per barrel.

He says Iran may not continue accepting dollars as payment. In an exclusive interview-Wednesday, Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlevi said Iran probably will insist on payment for its oil in currencies other than the American dollar if the value of the dollar continues to fall. It was the first time he had raised the possibility. Sitting alone ,in a reception room larger than a i tennis court in his Niavaran palace, the 55-year-old Shah discussed topics from oil to Indochina. He suggested that American credibility with! its allies was not necessarily daniaged by current U.S. policy in Indochina. He blamed Israeli stubborness for the failure of Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger’s recent peacemaking mission in the Miiddle East. ‘ But the Shah, ruler of the world’s second largest oil-exporting nation, dwelt primarily on the issue of petroleum. “You people in the West in the last year or two have had an inflation rate between 12 and 15 per cent—up to 27 per cent,” he said. “The price of oil has been responsible for only 2 per cent of this. “But you have sold your goods to us for 35 per cent more in price and, in some cases more. Some spare parts have cost us 50 per cent and even 300 percent more price.” % Movies' LOS ANGELES (UPI) - Veteran ■ actress Marjorie Main, known to a generation of movie-goers as the shrill voiced, weather-beaten “Ma Kettle," died yesterday at the age of 85. Death came quietly at St. Vincent’s Hospital where the queen of the hillbilly ac tresses was admitted April 3. A friend said she had been ill for a couple of weeks and her doctor decided to put her in the hospital for observation. Main, whose movie costumes resembled rags rejected by the Goodwill, delighted movie fans in a series of pictures where she played opposite, really op posite, gravel-voiced Wallace Beery, her good-for-nothing, shiftless mate. They fought tooth and nail to stardom through a number of pictures. Before she got caught up in the hillbilly stereotype.

But he was asked if he would demand payment in currencies other than the dollar in view of the dollar’s continuing weakness. . “Probably,” Ije said. "Probably—if the dollar continues to go down. But if it stabilizes, then we shall see.” Turning to fridbchiHST the Shah suggested other nations need not doubt the reliability of America as an ally because of the ’ refusal of the U.S. Congress to vote more military aid to Saigon. “We have got to look deeply into every case.” he said. “Were the South Viet namese fighting to “the end, doing everything that was necessary for their people and them being let down by the United States? “Or from the reports that we get, 'Ma Kettle' dead at 84 Main appeared at Carnegie Hall in a Shakespearean company.

On the Middle East, the Shah said Kissinger’s mission failed because “Israel is much too stubborn—probably because it has a weak,government...The ISisJfelis are not being cooperative or reasonable in their demands.” He’ assessed Egypt’s policies as “practical and comprehensible, lsrael to comply with the United Nations resolutions on the return of occupied Arab lands, saying: “They have got to get out. This is Arab land—it doesn’t belong to them.” But he said there was no question of Iran exerting pressure on Israel by cutting off its oil. “We do not mix oil with politics,” he said. “We sell oil to oil companies and they take it where they want." He gave the same answer when asked if Iran would guarantee oil for Israel in return for Israeli peace concessions. On other topics the Shah: —Said Iran would begin to curb its huge program of foreign investments and concentrate more on internal development. —Reiterated his call for countries bordering the Indian Ocean to form “some sort of commonwealth of nations” and said this could include South Africa if it would make “a few changes in the direction of what would be accepted by theJJhited Nations." in stock, in vaudeville, in radio and on Broadway.
