"We knew it would be rough up there but not quite this rough," said one Department of Health Education and Welfare official. Some officials are now predicting at least a year's delay in enactment of a family-assistance plan. The plan would set a national minimum benefit of $1600 a year for a family of four and require all able-bodied family heads except for mothers with children under six years of age to accept a "suitable" job or training. Democrats in the House Ways and Means Committee, which is holding hearings on the proposals, have described family assistance as a first step toward enslavement of welfare beneficiaries in low- paying jobs. OAKLAND UNIVERSITY, an affiliate of Michigan State Uni- versity, asked the MSU Board of Trustees for its independence yesterday. Oakland, a school of nearly 6,000 located in Rochester, has been governed by MSU since it was opened 10 years ago. During that time, the MSU board has "extended almost complete autonomy" to Oakland officials. Oakland administrators now believe that they are ready to operate on their own. The trustees named a committee to study the request and reportj back to the board within 30-60 days. A GULF OIL CORP. SUBSIDIARY was seized 'nd national- ized yesterday by the month-old Bolivian military government. Bolivia Gulf Oil Co. offices and fields near Santa Cruz were oc- cupied by the army along with the main office in La Paz, the capital. Gulf Oil bgan operations in Bolivia in 1955 and has reported in- vestments of $140 million. The move by the Bolivian government came as a complete surprise, said a Gulf spoeksman in La Paz. "The police walked directly into the office and there was nothing we could do but leave," he said. Leftist groups have long demanded nationalization of foreign industries, but the official position has leaned towards demanding larger royalties. A Gulf offer of 50 percent control of the enterprise was turned down by the Bolivian government. THE REV. JAMES E. GROPPI was ordered jailed for a six- month terniyesterday. In a hearing that lasted ten minutes. Judge F. Ryan Duffy ruled that Groppi had violated the provisions of his probation when he sat- in at the Wisconsin State Assembly on Sept. 29. Groppi was originally sentenced to six months in the Milwaukee House of Correction after being convicted of resisting arrest during a 1968 open housing march in that city.- Groppi's lawyers plan to appeal the ruling, contending that Grop- pi was not convicted of any crime in connection with the legislature sit-tn. RUSSIA'S TRIPLE SOYEZ mission failed in a linkup attempt Wednesday but American observers still believe that the Russians are close to developing the world's first space station. The U.S. experts feel most goals of the Soyuz 6-7-8 flight were achieved and that within a few months Russian cosmonauts will begin assemblying an orbiting station. Soyez 7 and 8 maneuvered within 500 yards of each other, with Soyez 6 close enough to watch. Experts believe the linkup failure was probably due to a minor technicality since U.S. efforts have shown that docking is relatively simple. Current speculation is that the Soviets are developing an orbiting - space station. U.S. plans call for such a station in 1972. The United States had planned to orbit its first fledgling space station, a three-man craft, this year. But budget cutbacks have de-, layed the launching until 1972. Soyez 6 returned to earth Thursday followed by Soyez 7 yester- day. Soyez 8 is expected to return today. Nixon predicts inflation slowdown WARNS OF 'SLOWING PAINS' -Associated Press PRESIDENT NIXON ADDRESSED the nation by radio yesterday to express confidence that spiral- ing prices will be stabilized. He also urged state and local governments to refrain from unnecessary expenditures. Departm11nent of Labor report siows I)lack employment down By The Associated Press President Nixon yesterday said the nation is "on the road to recovery from the disease of runaway prices," but cau- tioned that the effort to cool off the economy is bound to produce "slowing pains." In a live radio broadcast, Nixon said he is confident the adminis- tration's anti-inflation policies are "beginning to take hold." "You can make your plans on the basis that price rises ae going to be slowing down," he said. However, some businesses will ineitably suffer from sluggish sales in the deliberate cooling off of the economy, he warned., Housewives across the country responded with mixed skepticism and hope to Nixon's promise that price rises would slow down. Most of them said they will believe it when they see it. Nixon promised that the ad- ministration would view economic adjustment with compassion and would keep a close watch on the unemployment rate. "There are some who say that a high rate of unemployment cannot be avoided," he said. "I do not agree. In our leveling-off process we intend to do everything we can to resist increases in unemploy- men t." Nixon continued, "holding down the government spending and holding up the tax rate, and mak- ing it harder for people to get credit is not the kind of policy that makes friends." But he said such measures are necessary and he appealed to Congress to extend the surtax. The President also called on citizens to urge state and loea] governments to "cooperate in postponing spending that can ap- propriately be delayed." The President said he has re- jected at least two potential anti- inflation courses-wage and price controls and wage guidelines. As for his own administration, he said, "we decided that we were going to stop talking about higher prices and that we were going to s t a r t doing something about them." In other news on the nation' economy yesterday, Secretary of the Treasury David M. Kennedy predicted the national output will go into a moderate decline that will "continue for some time" In 1970. He contended his policies are "based on total realism" and that "instead of relying on our jaw- bone we have put some backbone in government's determination to hold the line for the consumer." Although he declined to call the prospective drop a business reces- sion, Kennedy said a considerable slowdown in the rate of real growth can be expected the rest of this year, although inflation apairently will continue to push up the dollar value of output. In a speech to the Business Council, Kennedy also warned against a premature easing of the anti-inflation brakes despite cur- rent evidences of a slowdown.

The situation was worst among Negro ten-agers, whose jobless rate rose to nearly 30 per cent in the poorest neighborhoods of the na- tion's 10 largest cities, the Labor Department said. "The jobless rate for white workers in poverty neighborhoods fell from 5.2 to 4.4 per cent over the year.

Resor yesterday. The open air tests were halteda last July 16 amid rising concern. over the Army's handling of pois- onous chemical munitions. At that time, a committee of civilian scientific experts, headed by Dr. Ivan Loveridge Bennett, vice president of New York Uni- versity, was appointed to review procedure in the testing at Edge- wood. The same committee also in- vestigated the training procedures at Ft. McClellan where special troops learn how to detect, de- contaminate and dispose of chem- ical agents. The report concluded open air testing could be continued at Edgewood. "In the 20-year his- tory of the testing program there has never been an instance of ex- posure of personnel to an extent' that requires specific treatment," it said. As for McClellan, the commit- tee said its safety record is "im- peccable." The report continues that medical records for the past five years show that none of the more than 10,000 individuals who have received instruction at the, chemical center and school was' involved in any incident requiring treatment for toxic effects of a chemical agent. However, the connittee did recommend c e r t a i n additional safety measures such as more in- tensive use of monitors, limitation of "munitions dissemination" to heights below 75 feet, installation of additional fencing around the test site and periodic ecological surveys for the area. averaged 7.5 per cent in the third' quarter," up from 6.9 per cent in the third quarter of last year, it said. The Labor Department ,eport said that when jobless rates of white and black workers in pover- ty neighborhoods were averaged together, the unemployment fig- ure was 5.7 per cent, a slighit ire- provement over the 5.9 uer cent! figure for the July-August-Sep- tember quarter of 1968. This compared with %n unem- ploymuent rate of 3.3 percen ~t ill other urban neighborhoods of the 10 largest cities the past three months, and a national jobless rate of 3.7 per cent for the quarter. However, unemployment in he final month of the quarter, Sep- tember, took the sharpest jump in nine years from 3.5 to 4 per cent nationally. The report showed the jobless problem in slum neighborhoods! was severest among both white! and black teen-agers, aged 16 to 19. F~or white teen-agers, til e i- port figured a 17.2 per cent joblhss rate, up from 14.8 per cent in the third quarter of 1968. For Negroes, the jobless rate among teen-agors was 29.3 per cent, an increase from 25.9 per cent in the 2or- responding three-month period last year. Black women also suffered more unemployment. "Unlike the rate for white adult women, the m ate for black women was up signifi- cantly over the year," the report said.
