the 7 per cent increase in gov-

As a result of these increases in
spending, corporate profits before
taxes will rise 9 per cent over this
year, from an estimated $74.4 bil-

shows, Suits said, that the expect-
ed drop in unemployment will not

Prof. Wallich, claiming that the
United States would not be able to
reach reform of the international
monetary system until it ended
its payments deficit, said that we
should not push reform, for "the
harder we press, the more strong-
ly our creditors will suspect that
we are just asking for something
to hail us out of our current pay-
ments difficulties. That they will
not give us."
The solution, Wallich said, lies
in keeping prices and wages in
line, maintaining a level of short-
term interest rates commensurate
with those abroad, and controlling
the foreign activities of American
banks and corporations, But, he
pointed out, "while the direct for-
eign investment of American cor-
porations is a heavy balance of
payments drain in the short run,
in the long run it will make a
much larger contribution" to the
amount of incoming dollars.

Dr. Peter Ostefan of the Office of Community Relations
announced yesterday that the driver regulations board will meet
next week for the last time before submitting their final recom-
mendations on the motorcycle noise regulations to city council.
Jerome Brasch of the school of public health has submitted
to the board the last of his memoranda detailing the testing of
muffler systems for noise control.
The board will formulate a final noise control proposal in
their meeting next week, and shortly thereafter submit it to
Councilman John Hathaway, who brought the matter before
council two months ago. The board will concentrate on the noise
aspect of any legislation first, Dr. Ostefan said, formulating safety
and education recommendations later.
A pleased Panhellenic executive board announced yesterday

SGC members spoke out yesterday at a Regents banquet
against a lack of communications between students and Regents.
Council members said that a dialogue should be carried on for
the purpose of better expressing to the Regents the particular
interests of the student body.
Several Regents responded by citing the Office of Student
Affairs as the proper channel for communication, but also agreed
* that. a more direct dialogue between student representatives and
the Regents might be beneficial for a better understanding of
student concerns.
At a mass meeting last night in the Multipurpose Room of

Michigan Staste University's Faculty Committee on Student
Affairs has not yet reached a decision on former grac student
Paul Schiff's plea for readmission.
The committee met for five hours Wednesday, and then again
yesterday without contracting a final resolution.
The Michigan State University News endorsed Senator Barry
Goldwater's proposal to bomb industrial areas in Hanoi in an
editorial Wednesday.
In the editorial headlined "Barry Right On Bombing Hanoi's
Industrial Area," the News said, "Washington shouldn't hold off
an inevitable military act because of the reasons it has given.
Bombing civilians should be avoided at all costs, and those in
the area should be notified that bombing will take place."
"As long as the U.S. delays bombing North Viet Nam's in-
dustrial center, the war will endure and more human lives will be
lost," said the editorial.

U.S. air cavalrymen remained in
toe-to-toe battle with tough North
Vietnamese troops early today in
the sixth day of bitter fighting
near the Cambodian border.
Communist mortar and small
arms fire slapped into the three
main American positions last night
and early this morning.
Bright flares lit the Ia Drang
Valley throughout the night. Bone-
weary U.S. infantrymen, crouched
in deep foxholes, fought off four
attacks. The North Vietnamese
attacked in platoon- to company-
size strength.
U.S. casualties were described as
very light in this latest action.
This assessment by a U.S. 1st

t the moderate heavy casualties
reported during the past five days.
There was no estimate of enemy
dead in this latest action. The
battle scene is 210 miles north of
Saigon in lightly jungled country
