The pie of flying keps getting higher. The Civil Aeronautics Board approved a four per cent increase yesterday in air fares for passengers fly- ing within the United States. At the same time, it made permanent a six per cent hike that it ap- proved on a temporary basis last April. That hike had been scheduled to expire yesterday. The two actions mean domestic air fares on Nov. iS will have risen 15 per cent since the fuel shortage hit last winter. The board approved a five per cent hike last Dec. 1 and the temporary increase on April 16. The new hike, like previous increases, was justified by the airlines on the basis of rapid- ly rising fuel costs and general inflation. 0 President Ford's job rating has increased over the hst month to 55 per cent, the latest Gallup Poll shows. Twenty-eight per cent disapprove of the president's performance and 17 per cent have no opinion, according to the survey, which was con- ducted Oct. 18-21, after Ford's appearance before a congressional subcommittee to explain his pardon of former President Richard Nixon. The previous study, taken one week earlier, showed 52 per cent approving of Ford's performance. The increase e Ford's rating has come mainly from Republicans, who give the P'resident a 75 per cent approval fig- ure. At his low point in popularity, 65 per cent of GOP voters approved. Retai 8 S6 l le stady If consumers plan to follow President Ford's aim to cut back spending to fight inflation, the trend did not show up in October sales reported yester- day by the nation's leading discount and depart- ment stores. Sales gains among the big nationwide retailers such as Sears, Roebuck & Co. and J. C. Penney Co., were up as much as 21 per cent in October over a year ago. And the government reported all retail sales for the last week in Oc- tober rose to a seasonally adjusted $10.56 billion, 8 per cent above last year. An Associated Press sampling of stores in several cities also showed President Ford's Oct. 8 appeal for voluntary spend- ing cuts to fight inflation has had little effect in its first few weks. A San Quentim convict scheduled to be paroled today after 17 years in jail for murdering his wife says he won't leave the prison. Ewing Scott, 78, told prison authorities he won't accept freedom because he was "illegally detained in the first place." For Scott, accepting parole would be tan- tamount to admitting guilt for a crime he claims he never committed. Raymond Procunier, state director of corrections, said it was the first time a convict ever refused parole. "He has refused to sign the order accepting the parole," Procunier said Wednesday. "We'll just have to wait and see if he is going to stick to his position before taking Govt. I.O.U. - A 98-year-old black South African has submit- ted a claim to teedBritishGovernmentr ford db sheep and 50 goats. Abia Makahane told reporters that in 1902 his father sold a British army officer 107 sheep and SO goats for food during the Anglo- Boer War, but was never paid. The family was given a promissory note by the officer, worth 500 pounds (about $2,000 at the then-current exchange rate), and Makahne is now demanding his money. "If they do not settle this soon, I will began to believe they cannot be trusted," he said. "How much longer do they think they can hold out on me?" The British Consulate General in Johannes-. burg yesterday said that it would willingly look in.- to the case, although it had no record of Maka- hane's claim.

Re ent4 By MARY HARRIS and JEFF SORENSEN To the average voter, this year's University Board of Regents race seems to have been con- ducted with all the publicity of a clandestine CIA operation. The Regents, who exercise near-total control over University affairs, normally slip into office barely noticed at the end of a long ballot. This year is no exception. THE REGENTS' contest boasts 15 candidates who represent all shades of the political spec- trum, from the American Independent Party (AIP) of George Wallace to the left-wing U. S. Labor Party. Liberal and radical hopefuls in the race have stressed proposals for ending alleged discrimina- tion against women and minorities by the Uni- versity, while conservatives have tended to stress financial problems. "My main concern is that the University must hopefuls run in low gear Capinoue on fnce not be permitted to continue its present racist and sexist policies," says Democrat Sarah Pow- er. Sh'e argues that the University "has not been meeting its responsibilities" in hiring blacks and women, and points out that there is only one black female professor at the University. - campaign profile BOTH HUMAN Rights Party (HRP) hopefuls, Ellen Hoffman and Diane Kohn, pledge support for affirmative action guidelines to hire more blacks and women and give them increased de- cision-making powers. Democratic and HRP candidates indicate their strong support for clerical workers' and Gradu- ate Employes' Organization (GEO) demands for higher wages. . ... Kohn contends that it is unfair "for the Uni- versity to pay some professors $30,000-$40,000 when the clericals in many cases are being paid only $6,000." Hoffman argues that '"TFs (who are represented by GEO) are simply not being paid a living wage." REPUBLICANS and Conservative Party candi- dates do not indicate whether or not they would specifically support demands for higher wages. Republican hopeful Dona Parker admits that most of the clerical and GEO demands are jus- tified, but says a final decision on a possible hike can't be reached without further study. Parker also admits that discrimination has occurred in present University hiring and ad- missions policies towards minority groups and women, but says she opposes any "quotas" in employment or enrollment. "I think the University should encourage mi- nority enrollment, but to say to a certain per- centage, I'm afraid I don't agree because it might exclude some," says Parker. DEMOCRATIC candidate Thomas Roach, on the other hand, vows support for increased minor- ity enrollment. He argues that the University hasn't made enough effort to recruit minorities, particularly in the Detroit area. Recent University financial troubles have sparked considerable debate, but few proposed solutions in the campaign. Last month, Governor William Milliken indi- cated in a letter to President Robben Fleming that state appropriations to the University may be cut as much as four per cent next year.

BLEEDING H ALTED: LOS ANGELES 'P) - President Gerald Ford urg- ed the nation's voters last night to defeat big spend- ers in Congress and declar- ed: "If some of them are Republicans, so be it." ' In a significant shift in t a c t i c s, the Republican President softened his at-. tack on congressional Dem- ocrats at a time when polls predicted; major Democra- tic gains in next Tuesday's congressional elections. "I AM not going to suggest to you that all the big spenders belong to the opposition party," Ford said. His remarks were prepared for delivery at a GOP-fund-rais- ing dinner for the California party's underog gube rnoia and other GOP candidates. wher he toldhan airprt rall in Sioux City that he won't let foreign beef and dairy imports put America's farmers through the financial wringer. IT WAS the opening day o Ford's last round on this year's campaign trail. The three-day, six-state Western excursion brings to 21 the number of states he has stumped in an ef- fort to turn the tide for Re- public ans. In the Halloween Night speech to Republicans, who paid from $250 to $500 a ticket to attend, Ford had a message in keeping with the occasion. "Let's keep Halloween for our children," he said. "The last thing we need in Washing- ton is a trick-or-treat Con- gress." WHILE repeating his charge that Congress is responsible for big government spending and thus inflation, Ford .eased off on his accusation that Demo- cratse are to blame. "If you are unhappy about the handling of the nation's fi- iiances over the past 20 years, if you think it is time for a change, remember next Tues- day who the big spenders are - ' and throw them out. And if some of them are Republicans, so be it." "Now is the time for re- sponsible men and women of all political persuasions - Re- publicans, Democrats and Inde- pendents .- to come together, not in an effort at political ad- vantage, but in a spirit of pa- triotism, to whip problems like inflation . . ." Ford said. HE RETURNED to another of his favorite themes - that som congressmen are enan foreign policy. But Ford stopped short of renewing his accusation that if too many Democrats are elect- ed, peace will be jeopardized.

Green, a 20-year veteran of the House of Representatives who will retire at the end of the current session, made that assessment yesterday to about 50 people at Hale Auditorium in the Business School. THE SPEECH FOCUSED on the Higher Education Act - a bill designed to end discrimination on the basis of race and sex and guarantee equal pay for equal work - which Green helped author and guide through Congress. The law specifically guarantees identical working benefits and promotional opportunities for men and women in employment at colleges and universities. Green, however, admits the measure has not been entirely successful and commented, "At times I would like to deny any parentage of it." . BUT SHE VEHEMENTLY opposed the establishment of quotas to insure equal rights. "I am against giving jobs to groups that have been historic- ally discriminated against," Green said. "Everyone should be could start again. Another surgeon, Dr. James H-arper, commented, "He could turn sour on us, but there is no indication of that today." Harper said that the original extensive post-operative bleed- ing had apparently been re- duced to a generalized ooze of blood leaking into a space be- hind the stomach wall. HE SAID THAT another sur- goDr. Donald Mulder, of the UCLA School of Medicine, was called in today to examine Nix- on when a drop in the red cor- puscle count in the blood was blood loss, transfusions of fres ulate - would be pumped into the 61-year-old former chief of state. "WITH THE cooperation of Me- morial Hospital's blood bank and the Red Cross, this treat- ment has now been instituted," DnrEln adHickman, who op- erated on Nixon on Tuesday, said that Nixon was handling the surgery well and was main- taining a cooperative outlook towards his treatment. But he said Nixon occasional- lv became irritated with the continuous series of tests being made on him in the hospital's critical care ward. THE SURPRISE press con- ference by Nixon's team of sur- geons was called late in the af- ternoon after a morning bulletin had revrealed that he was still ippornts I By TIM SCHICK Amid continued post - election turmoil, Student Government Council (SGC) last night ap- pointed a treasurer despite warnings from minority party members that the vote is illegal under Council rules. President Carl Sandberg ap- pears to have control over, most independent Council members as well as those of his own Reform Party. After threaten- ing to resign if his choice of treasurer was not approved, SGC voted 13i/-7% to okay Elliot Chikofsky for the post. CAMPUS Coalition (CC) op- posed this, pointing out that Chikofsky had been active in a party which also ran two can- didates currently charged with misuse of SGC funds. CC President David Faye stated "(Former President) Bill ,Jacobs was the worst barbar- ous crook we had.

Many of the remarks con- cerned the fact that Chikofsky succeeded David Schaper s as treasurer. Schaper has, been charged along with Jacobs with misusing $42,000 in Council monies. SEVERAL Council members claimed t h a t the treasurer should be respdnsive to the SGC, not the pr'esident person- ally, which would prevent the apparent monetary mishandling typical in the past. After the approval of a treas- urer, Faye announced he is fil- ing suit with the Central Stu- dent Judiciary against all votes taken by Council last night. Under SGC rules, the Council cannot vote on any matters un- til after its second meeting fol- lowing an election. Last night's meeting was the second time the new Council has met.
