Martin Says Increase Of Taxes Vital CHICAGO (AP)-- William Mc- Chesney Martin, chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, urged yes- terday a quick tax increase to combat inflation. He told the annual meeting of the American Petroleum Institute that a cut in federal spending also is needed. and last But it was reported the deploy- Poible ment schedules of the troops ear- Martin, whose central banking marked for Vietnam may be set Mamhsectrla ng markey foruetam m1organization influences the flow up by about a month. of credit and money in the na-I The Vietnam chiefs' rep.istion, implied that the later a tax said to shape up like this: On the military front, the North Vietnamese were not able to score a single victory in the South this year. They suffered heavy losses in battle, and the air raids caused them to put 500,- 000 more men to work on repairs to keep their war machine going. Viet Cong Recruitment Tumbles The Viet Cong guerrillas in the South also suffered heavy losses and their recruitment has tum- bled to 3,500-4,000 a month com- pared to twice that many in 1966 Infiltration from the N -)r t h amounts to around 6,500-7.000 men monthly. On the political front, South Vietnam took important strides in holding five elections within the last 14 months, establishing a constitutional government in Sai- gon and beginning to expand mil- itary recruitment and give tax and land reform functions to lo- cal governments. U.S. estimates list about 68 per cent of South Vietnam now under Saigon control, compared with 55 per cent a year ago. boost, thehigher it may be. He recalled that President Johnson has asked in January for a 6 per cent surcharge on federal income taxes. His request was boosted in August to 10 per cent. "I see nothing in that progres- sion," he said, "that suggests that it pays us to wait." Congress has delayed action on the tax increase proposals. "We. need restraint on both sides of the federal ledger," Mar- tin said, "and we need it as quick- ly as it is possible to get it." Talks With Newsmen Those lines of advice were in his prepared remarks. He didn't read them but developed the same theme in his speech and in a brief huddle with newsmen. Martin told the oilmen he is not predicting controls, but later said the nation "may face a wider adjustment than any of us want to see." He said deficit financing has a role to play under certain circum- stances, but added: "We are on the road to getting into perpetual deficits." UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (A) -' The United States and Britain appealed to the UN Security Council yesterday for pr.ompt, concerted action for a Middle East settlement. The United States, while recognizing the need for Israeli withdrawal, backed Israeli's demand for "secure and recognized" boundaries with Arab nations. Britain's Lord Caradon, urging "a final and supreme and suc- cessful effort to set aside all dif- ferences," declared that "the time to decide has come. "This week we must conclude:j our debate," he added. "This week we hope to see an end of talk here and the beginning of action on the ground. 'Important Decision' "I trust that before this week is over we shall have taken per- haps the most important decision which the United Nations has ever taken." U.S. Ambassador Arthur J. Gold- berg, urging support for a U.S. draft resolution before the coun- cil, contended that a Middle East settlement imposed from outside could not endure. Parties Must Seek Peace "Only the parties themselves can make peace," he said. Goldberg said Israel m u s t withdraw "and the Arab states must renounce the state of bel.- ligerencenwhich they have claimed for many years. "Secure and recognized boun- daries must be mutually worked out and recognized by the parties themselves as part of the peace- making process," he added. Soviet First Deputy Foreign Minister Vasily V. Kuznetsov, sup- porting the Arab position, said that a settlement in the Middle East, "if one seriously wishes to strengthen peace," must include Israeli withdrawal to positions held prior to the war. The U.S. formulation of Israeli withdrawal, he said, left open the possibility that Israel alone would determine the positions to which she withdrew. The Soviet official challenged the United States to clarify this question. Goldberg and Kuznetsov con- ferred privately on the Middle East for about 20 minutes prior to the meeting, but their speeches did not indicate they had drawn any closer toward agreement on a resolution.

World News Roundup l WASHINGTON P)-President Johnson agreed last night with Japan's Prime Minister Eisaku Sato" to arrange immediately con- sultations for the return of Japan's full sovereignity over the Bonin Islands. No change was agreed on in the status of Okinawa, the major American defense base in the west- ern Pacific, but the door was opened a bit. Johnson and Sato, agreed in their two days of talks Philppines Gyive Marcos Big Victory MANILA (P)-With nearly half the ballots counted, Philippine voters appeared last night to be giving President Ferdinand E.' Marcos the big victory he had wanted in Tuesdays off-year elections. A tide of votes for Marcos' Nacionalista party from outlying provinces more .than offset the results in Manila, where the pres- ident's. handpicked mayoral candi- date, Pablo Ocampo, lost by 50,000 votes to Liberal incumbent An- tonio Villegas. A Philippines - firster, Villegas tried to force American and other foreign retailers out of business in Manila this year but was block- ed by Marcos and the Supreme Court. Six Nacionalistas, a Liberal and 'an independent led the race for eight seats in the 24-member Senate. The Nacionalistas need to win at least six seats to assure them control of the Senate and thus clear the way for passage of the economic programs on which Marcos hopes to base his re-election campaign in 1969.

Kennedy said last night he may "have something further to say" about his announced support of President Johnson for re-election if Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy (D- Minn.) declares himself a candi- date for president. The New York Democrat made his remark in an interview with CBS News correspondent Roger Mudd on the CBS Evening News. Kennedy was asked what he thought of a candidacy by Mc- Carthy. "I think he'll receive some sup- port around the country," Ken- nedy replied. "I think from the people I've talked to, in Califor- nia, New England, the Midwest, he'll have some support." Kennedy said if he were Presi- dent Johnson he would consider McCarthy's possible candidacy as "zery serious." * * * BERLIN-A man suspected of being Nazi Gestapo chief Heinrich Mueller has been arrested in Pana- ma at West German request, the West Berlin press office said yes- terday. Mueller vanished after World War II and many Germans thought him to be dead. The Gestapo was Adolf Hitler's secret police. The Berlin announcement said the request had been made after an informer had told the prose- cutor of the Berlin district court that a man, who was at present in Panama, was identical to Muel- ler.
