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

mandatory retirement policy.

Provost Russell Larson had
denied Klain an extension last
January, citing University
policy to grant such ex

circumstances.
The Capitol Campus

denied its request for a
hearing to look into the

said the matter already had
been reviewed, according to

It is University policy to
grant extensions for only one

Chairman Edmund S. 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.

Shah: oil prices to rise
TEHRAN (UPI) The Shah of Iran
predicts oil prices will rise again if in
dustrial nations fail to control inflation
and go on increasing prices for their
exports. 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.”

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

played opposite, really op

shiftless mate. They fought

“Because of this,” he said, “we have
got to accept that the principle is the
same for raw materials as i t as for oil. ”
He said if a meeting in Paris this
summer fails to achieve understanding
between oil-producing and consuming
nations, Western countries “will in
crease the price of their commodities, or
keep up the rate of inflation.”
In that case, he said, “We are going to
defend ourselves by increasing the price
of our oil.”
The Shah said Iran's recent move in
ending its currency link with the dollar,
in favor of the special drawing rights of
the International Monetary Fund, would
not mean an end to quoting oil prices in
dollars.
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

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

He’ assessed Egypt’s policies as

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
