WASHINGTON (AP) - Inflation gave consumers their worst pounding in three months in September as costs rose 0.8 per cent and pushed the index of retail prices to almost double what it was 11 years ago, the government reported yesterday. The September price rise also out- paced wage gains during the month, reducing workers' purchasing power by 0.3 per cent, the fifth monthly decline this year. Purchasing power has' declined by 3.3 per cent in the past 12 months, WHITE HOUSE press secretary Jody Powell said the report was discouraging and "underscores the im- portance of maximum cooperation and support for the President's inflation plan." Powell was referring to the new wage and price guideline program Car- ter announced to the nation Tuesday night. Powell revealed that Carter held an hour-long meeting yesterday with Alfred Kahn, the newly-appointed chairman of the Council on Wage and Price Stability, and with Barry Boswor- th, executive director of the council and Charles Schultze, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers. "The purpose of the meeting was to review the organizational setup for Mr. Kahn's operation and to discuss plans, follow-on plans for the President's anti- flation program," Powell said. THE LABOR Department reported higher prices for gasoline, housing and college tuition contributed to the Sep- tember price surge, which if continued for a year would mean an overall in- flation of 10 per cent. Prices had increased at a more moderate 0.6 per cent in August and 0.5 per cent in July. The September increase raised the overall increase in prices during the first nine mnths of 1978 to 7.1 per cent, compared with 6.8 per cent during all of last year. The annual rate of increase for the first nine months was 9.6 per cent. CARTER administration officials admitted it was unlikkely the inflation rate for the year-will be held to even the eight per cent level and that was the latest in a continuing series of wor- sening inflation forecasts by the ad- ministration. WIlliam Cox, deputy chief economist for the Commerce.Department, said in- flation for the year may be between eight per cent and nine per cent. "It appears to be running above eight per cent," he said. IN ANOTHER report signaling possible bad news for Americans, the Carter administration said economic growth next year may be between three per cent and 3.5 per cent, down from earlier forecasts and close to the point where unemployment may rise. Economists say the nation's econmy must expand about four per cent yearly to keep unemployment from worsening. The unemployment rate is currently about six per cent, but the new forecast said it should be in "the neighborhood of six per cent" next year, indicating it could worsen. The forecast for slower economic growth in 1979 is the consequence of reduced federal spending and higher in- terest rates which are being used to help combat inflation. The forecast for economic growth this year is for 3.75 per cent, compared with growth of 4.1 per cent last year. IN YET ANOTHER economic development yesterday, the Labor Department issued a study showing that major labor contracts negotiated during the first nine months of 1978 gave workers first-year wage and cost- of-living increases of more than eight per cent. These increases are well above the voluntary seven per cent wage and fringe benefit guideline con- tained in Carter's new anti-inflation program. Business is being asked to hold price increases to around 5.75 per cent in 1979. The most worrisome aspect of the September price report was that rising food costs could no longer bear most of the responsibility for the overall in- crease in inflation. Food prices rose 0.5 per cent, the lowest of any major com- ponent of the consumer price index. The chief culprit last month was housing costs, which rose 0.9 per cent. The actual cost of owning a home jum- ped 1.3 per cent and rents rose 0.8 per cent, the biggest increase of the year in both cases.

Liberty ' Ann A rbor M I 662-2019 $ BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) - The European Common Market's energy commissioner said yesterday that rising energy consumption in the United States must 4be stopped - perhaps by higher consumer prices on oil and gasoline - to protect the world against another price rise by oil- producing nations. In an unusually blunt statement, Guido Brunner, said any increase in American use of oil would be an "ex- tremely unfortunate development" that also could have severe consequences for the dollar, which has been taking a severe beating on the world's money markets. BRUNNER, A West German, urged the United States to add "something" to its energy conservation program before oil ministers of the Organization -of. Petroleum Exporting Countries open their next price-fixing meeting Dec.. 16 in Abu Dhabi. OPEC oil ministers said after their June meeting there definitely would be a price increase in 1979, but no amount has been set. The current price for a 42- gallon barrel of oil is $12.70. The price was frozen at that level at OPEC's meeting last December and again in June. However, OPEC member countries have been complaining that income from oil, which is priced in dollars, is shrinking as the value of the dollar con- tinues to fall. One oil expert, former Saudi Arabian Oil Minister Sheik Ab- dullah Turaki, predicted an increase of 15 per cent. IT IS ESTIMATED that for every five per cent increase in the price of crude oil, gasoline at the pump in the United States goes up half a cent. "In the short term, there is no reason for an increase in prices," Brunner said in the first direct comment by a Com- mon Market official on the OPEC Meeting. He said falling profits was not enough to justify a price hike. Brunner indicated that if the United States showed it was sincere about saving energy, the oil producers might delay a price rise. He said if an effec- tive U.S. energy policy helps the stan- ding of the dollar on world foreign ex- change markets, this would automatically increase oil producers' revenues from oil. BRUNNER SAID that at the Western economic summit in Bonn, West Ger- many in July, President Carter promised to cut American oil consum- ption by 2.5 million barrels per day by 1985. "At present, there is no sign that they are moving in that direction," Brunner said. "Now it looks as if next year there will be an increase of roughly two per cent, which is the opposite develop- ment. This is very disquieting." "Some change in prices," in the United States is necessary, Brunner said. He hinted that since Congress is now in recess, Carter should take action himself to raise prices. The Common Market commissioner said there has been no increase in energy consumption since 1973 in the Common Market countries - Britain, France, West Germany, Italy, Ireland, Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. The Common Market nations, boosted by Britain's growing North Sea oil production, have pledged to reduce their dependence on imported energy to 50 per cent by 1985. European countries have used speed limits and extensive energy-saving campaigns since the 1973 oil crisis to cut petroleum consumption. Consumer prices are much higher than in the United States. Gasoline now costs about $2.01 per gallon in West Germany and $1.30 per U.S. gallon in Britain. In the United States, average gasoline prices range from 62.5 cents to 69 cents. Chinese reps visit 'U seek U.S. college trade (Continued from Page 1) contact with several universities which may involve an exchange of perhaps two to three faculty members and ten students per university, possibly more," Eisley said. "NO FORMAL arrangements have been made - this is only our initial con- tact," he added, "but we are very in- terested and hope that something will develop.''" Eisley also said that no discussion of the economics of such a program has taken place, nor, the possible com- plications involving the respective countries' governments. Eisley noted that University Vice- President for Academic Affairs Harold Shapiro had been in touch with officials in Washington about the matter, but Shapiro was unavailable for comment yesterday. "THE CHINESE are in a period of rebuilding their universities after a period in which education has not flouished," Eisley said. "They are now looking to open up contacts with the outside world. "A major thing to be determined is the academic background of the students who will come here. That is, we will need to know if the students will meet our pre-requisites to determine where in our program they will fit. "But I see no reason why we shouldn't go ahead and start to make the final arrangements," Eisley asser- ted. PROF. ALBERT Feuerwerker, director of the Center for Chinese Studies, described the activities of the delegation as simple shopping around for a good bargain in an America'n university. "The formal position of the Chinese government," Feuerwerker said, "in the next period of time is to send a large number of scientists and educators abroad." He added that exact figures are unknown, but that as many as 10,000 people may be involved. "They will be sent to Europe, Japan and the U.S. for the purpose of being trained," the director said. "The reason is that their country has a great shortage of qualified personnel due to the closing of the universities there during the Cultural Revolution." WITHIN THIS framework, Feuer- werker noted, talks have been going on in Washington about the possibilities of such an exchange in absence of formal relationships between the two nations. "The quid pro quo of the situation is that American students will be accep- ted by the Chinese," said Feuerwerker. At this time students for such a program are being chosen. through a national competition program. Ten students will leave for China by January of next year, followed by fifty others in the fall of 1979. Tieh-yun Chen, a member of the Chinese delegation, is an alumnus of the University's College of Engineer- ing, class of 1951. "The strangest impression about my days in Ann Arbor has remained with me over the years," he said with a touch of a smile. "It's the football.
