Clinger announced yesterday that Ford will appear first at a $5O-a-plate luncheon at 1 p.m. in Gatsby's Restaurant on College Avenue. Follwoing the luncheon, Ford is slated to attend a reception at the home of Ruth Aikens, 505 W. Hillcrest Ave. Tickets for the reception are $l5O. Clinger said he is not sure of Ford's exact schedule for the day, but added that Ford "is considering a visit with students on campus." Clinger, a Warren County attorney, worked in the Ford Administration for two years as a counsel in the Commerce Department. The Ford visit to State College is crucial, Clinger said, because he is least known in this area. "I started out as the underdog and I'm still the underdog," Clinger said. "I will concentrate my efforts in Centre County because that's where we have to do well." Clinger said the Aug. 20 automobile accident which has kept Democratic incumbent Joseph Ammerman from actively campaigning was unfortunate to the race as a whole. "Mr. Ammer man's unfortunate accident will make it difficult to fully develop the issues that divide us." A radio debate between Clinger and Ammerman has been scheduled for early November but Clinger says he is not sure if it can still be held. Ammerman still is awaiting word from Vice-President Walter Mondale about a Democratic fund-raising dinner in State College, Ammerman aide Dan Chaffee said. e ( 1 7e w 7/ kwm )Ire acevA, Afiai#kekkm frJAE 77 - 174 k f i af //1-eO f r al nifil(Te4 • PUS/OIL IYRECTOR • SET DES/G4/ER • C/IPATOGA'N'h'EA' • COSTWE CES/CNER • L/GHT/A/C.

The Centre County Commissioners Tuesday approved a program which will bring $141,060 in rent subsidies to the county annually. The program, to be administered through the county authority, will enable 12 elderly and 58 low-income families to receive the funds. Single people should be able to apply for the program as single-member families. "As far as I know they can," county Housing Coordinator Pat Cashex said. Students may apply for the funds, but if they are receiving money from parents, that money will be considered when determining their eligibility, he said. Applications will be taken in the Housing Authority office in Bellefonte as soon as preliminary paperwork on the program is completed, Casher said. An "Annual Con tributions" contract between HUD and the county Housing Authority must be processed first, he said.

Flood, indicted on charges he lied wh'en he denied taking payoffs, may be the most investigated member of the U.S. House today, but his neighbors still love him and probably will elect him to his 16th term in November. Michael Kozak, 68, wept openly Tuesday when the grim, thin-faced Flood came out of his white, wood framed home to deny the indictment charges. He said they were "made by desperate men under pressure." There wasn't a quiver in Flood's famous waxed mustache, its twisted ends perfectly balanced over his mouth like daggers. "He's a wonderful man," Kozak cried. "Look at the house he's sleeping in. It's just like anyone else's," Kozak said of Flood's modest, working-man neighborhood. "He's humble and easy going and hospitable. I love the man.

The Housing Authority will determine the eligibility of applicants, Casher said. The applicants' apartments must also be approved by the authority as meeting HUD mandated rent ceilings and guidelines for eligibility before funds may be allocated, he said. • The Housing Authority will talk to landlords throughout the county and determine which buildings qualify and which landlords wish to participate in the program, Casher said. HUD determines a fair market rental rate for the area and has an eligibility scale based on the number of bedrooms and whether the building contains an elevator, he said. The amount of money each family in the program receives will depend on its financial need and the amount of rent it pays, Casher said. —by Maryanne Dell NITTANY MALL
