Labor secretary says rebate
efficient economic stimulant
DETROIT ( UPI) Labor
Secretary Ray Marshall said
yesterday President Carter's
proposed $5O income tax rebate is the
best way to stimulate the nation's
economy while avoiding inflation and
buying time for permanent solutions.
In a strong defense of the plan,
Marshall accused critics of distorting
economic statistics to promote a
permanent tax cut.
The former University of Texas
economics professor, who was
initially cool towards the plan, said
the rebate would not boost inflation
and would only offset consumer losses
to higher food and utility prices
caused by the harsh winter. •
Marshall, at Wayne State
University for a speech to the Joint
Institute of Labor and Industrial
Relations, said the rebate is the only
portion of the current economic
proposals that help middle income

Guard District Legal Offiter. "We are
going to hold the vessel Antanas
Snechkus this time until we complete an
inventory of the cargo."
Norris declined to comment on' how
long that would take.
A 16-member custody crew, com
prised of Coast Guardsmen with
automatic ' rifles slung over their
shoulders and .45-caliber handguns
hanging froth their belts, was aboard the
Antanas Snechkus as two tugboats
settled her across the dock from the
previously seized Taras Shevchenko.
The trawler was seized Saturday on
direct , orders of President Carter and
was escorted to Boston Monday. The
larger ship was boarded Easter Sunday
and its cargo ordered seized on Monday.
Cmdr. Albert Buechler, skipper of the
cutter Reliance which escorted the
Ant.inas Snechkus from 160 miles
southeast of Nantucket Island, said his
original, recommendation was to seize
the entii.e ship, not just a portion of the
cargo.
Seized were 1.696 metric tons of cod;
93 metric tons of red fish or ocean perch,
Granum stressed the session was
arranged before the fishing trawler
incidents and indicated he did not expect
Carter to dwell on the subject.
Carter indicated last Friday after a
meeting between Vance and Dobrynin
he would be "very eager" to change his
major nuclear weapons reduction
proposals if the Soviets con§ideied them
"inequitable" in the balance of nuclear
might.
Both sides appeared to be moving
toward a compromise after the break
down in Moscow. -
The White House took the unusual step
of omitting the standard picture-taking
session at the start of the 4 p.m. meeting.
A spokesman announced the session
"has been canceled so as not to cut into
the working time" between Carter and
Dobrynin. .
The m e eting with the Soviet envoy was
the last official actiVity of a day in which
Carter put the final touches on the anti
inflation package he will outline at a 10
"the backbone of our
tax payers
economy."
Many consumers, he said, are
counting on the extra income and
some have 'already spent their an
ticipated rebates. •
Marshall said a permanent cut
would deprive the nation's treasury of
revenues that ' , might be needed for
future programs. He said the tem
porary nature of the rebate is its
strongest benefit.
"Tinkering with the permanent tax
rates now would interfere with
President Carter's ability to overhaul
the tax code later," Marshall said in
his speech. "Moreover, there is no
way to predict that lower taxes would
be healthy for the economy in the
years ahead."
At a news conference, Marshall
said he preferred public service
employment programs to rebates.
But he said rebates will produce rapid

Agent Jesse L. Whitehurst, a member of
the boarding party, said cod and ocean
fish cannot be taken by foreign trawlers.
"As soon as they are caught they are
supposed to be thrown, back into the
Ocean," he said. Whitehurst said the
river herring catch exceeded the amount
allowed under a license held by the
vessel.,
"It appeared to be a large enough
violation of the law," Beuchler told
reporters. "A recommendation was
made on the basis of what we saw and
what we read of the fishing act to seize
the ship . . . But L was told to seize the
cargo and I didn't need any ex
planations."
"In effect we have done the same thing
as seizing the entire ship. With that
much cargo you have to bring it into
port," said a bearded Lt. Pete Wolf, who
had boarded the vessel for inspection.
"We explained very carefully to the
master what we had to do. It is like a
seizure of the vessel," Wolf said. "The
master and crew were very
cooperative."

After hearing almost four hours of testimony, and

Council's board of control agreed last night on several
sanctions recommended against Omega Psi Phi, the
fraternity charged with violating the IFC's policy against
hazing.
A 24-week disciplinary probation was levied against the
fraternity which would prohibit any social parties, at
tendance of more than half the membership at any other
social function, and participation in'intramural sports. In
addition, Omega Psi Phi was placed on a one-year ad

KINSHASA, Zaire (UPI) Zaire said
yesterday French planes were flying
Moroccan troops to invaded Shaba
Province, But French President Valery
Giscard d'Estaing said in Paris that only
supplies not men = were being
airlifted.
Zaire's National Orientation Minister,
Mbunze Nsomi Lebwanabi, also said
Egypt had sent "aid in men" to help
President Mobutu Sese Seko's regime
fight an invasion force from Angola and
The Sudan warned that the invasion was
a threat to its security.
Mobutu also asked Nigeria, which
offered to mediate in the conflict, to send
neutral observers to verify his claims of
Angolan, Cuban and Soviet involvement
in the invasion.
Lebwanabi said "aid in men" had also
been provided by Egypt, but did not
specify whether the men were soldiers.
Cairo has publicly backed Zaire against
the invasion and has indicated it would
support Kinshasa with military aid. But
high Egyptian officials said privately it
was unlikely the aid would include
troops.
Lebwanabi said French transport •
planes sent by Paris Sunday were being
used to ferry the first of 1,500 Moroccan
troops to the battle zone in the copper
belt Shaba province, formerly known as
Ka tanga.
In Paris, Giscard went on French
television and said, "The transportation
being carried out by French, planes
concerns material exclusively," and not
men. "This is not a.war operation."
"There are no Frenchmen fighting in
Zaire and there will be no 'Frenchmen
fighting in Zaire," he said. "These are
claims which come precisely from those
who are carrying out the infiltration of
Zaire."
He said France's aid to Zaire was "a

The house is designed to accomplish
three goals. The first goal, he said, is to
help the students decide upon a lifestyle
and career outside of college. The
second goal is to encourage intellectual
skills, he said, and the third is to help
establish and maintain interpersonal
relationships.
The third goal will stress interaction
among the members of the house
through intramural sports programs
and other, social events such as cof
feehouses, guest speakers and parties,

Asked about Zairean claims that the
invaders, who are reported to be former
Ka tangese gendarmes, are being

certain, according to reports from the
area, is that the troops . . . have been

supplies for Zaire defense
WASHINGTON (UPI) The United
States has rejected Zaire's request for
ammunition but will send the embattled
African nation $l3 million worth of
"nonlethal" supplies, including a
transport plane, State Department of
ficials said yesterday.
In terms of value, the new shipment
represented a sharp escalation in the aid
the United States has rushed to Zaire
since the fighting started. Two previous
shipments were valued at about $2
million.
"We have decided not to request
emergency assistance for Zaire from
Congress," department spokesman
Hodding Carter 111 said. "Our assistance
will be limited to 'nonlethal' equipment
already approved by Congress."
Zaire had requested emergency
shipments of ammunition to supply
forces fighting Ka tangan rebel invaders
from neighboring Angola.
The U.S. announcement followed
reports from Kinshasa, Zaire's capital,
that French aircraft were ferrying

work with interest house student com

Assignment to the interest house will
be on a first-come first-serve basis,
Cartwright said. Students currently
residing in either of the two dorms will
have priority.
The deadline for application is April
22, Cartwright said. Notices will be
deposited in each mailbox in every dorm
notifying the students of the opportunity
to apply. Only students who have ob
tained dorm contracts for next fall will
be considered for the house, Cartwright
said. The notices will go out sometime
this week, he said.
Students also may obtain applications
in the ARHS office, Cartwright said,
since some students who plan to live in a
dorm next year may not be living in one
currently.

by missed classes.
Both the fraternity and Jones have the option to appeal

of being notified of the charges.
"I was impressed by the panel and format of the
hearing," Jones said. He said he believed the decisions
were fair and that he had no plans for appeal.
"I just hope that the fraternity takes on the financial
responsibilities that are considered theirs," Jones said.
