knocks yesterday with figures
showing that last year it suf-
fered its second biggest trade
deficit and first recorded de-
cline in productivity.
Sharply rising oil prices ac-
counted for a trade deficit of
about $3.1 billion last year, sta-
tistics issued by the Commerce
Department here showed.
IT WAS a dramatic turnabout
from 1973, when the United
States had a surplus of about
$1.3 billion.
In 1973, there were 7,123 hos-
pitals in the United State reg-
istered by the American Hospi-
tal Assn. About $36.3 billion
was spent to provide services
for both inpatients and out-
patients, a cost of $173 per resi-
dent of the nation.

Dent who said: "Without the
burden of tripled petroleum im-
port costs, our trade account
would have been in surplus .. .
by $14 billion."
At the same time, the Labor
Department reported that, for
the first time since the govern-
ment started keeping records
in 1947, the output of American
workers per man hour declined
in the private sector.
IN RELATED developments:
-Senator Edward Kennedy
(D-Mass.) introduced legislation
to provide an immediate tax
cut of $15 billion for individuals.
-The White House said Pres-
ident Ford might veto a bill
raising the debt ceiling if it
was linked with legislation that
prevents him imposing oil im-
port fees.

A M 0 N T H L Y "activities
trends report" is a valuable
assessment tool in the SPAR-
MIS p a c k a g e, according to
Krasny. It details the number
of service cals per month, av-
erage response time, traffic
tickets iss'ied, cases under in-
vestigation and warrants ob-
tained.
Additional programs in the
SPARMIS package include 'peo-
ple control reports" < which 'list
such features as a "Key Name
List," which is an up-to-date
file stored in the computer nam-
ing persons previously arrested.
An investigator can gall for
an "arrest search list" of se-
lected names from the "key
name list," which focuses on
those in the file who fit a cer-
tain description; such 'as those
who drive a certain type of car,
or whose crimes in the past
have followed a particular pat-
tern.
OTHER REPORTS that help
to narrow the list of suspects
further include the "daily ar-
rest bulletin," the "Arrestee
List," and the "recidivist (peo-
ple who have been in jail re-
peatedly) report." These also
will be available on demand
through the SPARMIS compu-
ter network.
Most of the criminal identi-
fication reports can also be
sent. to federal agencies, ac-
cording to Baranski.
Funding for the raddition of
1SPARMIS to the city law en-
forcement agency. came from a
fe de r al grant administered
through the state Office of Crim-
inal Justice. The city was given
$95,000 for putting up $5,000 to-
ward the program.
ONCE THIS federal money
rusout,> however, the city
must absorb the operating costs
of SPARMIS. Krasny said he
could give no approximation o
' this cost.
Presently, the only other cities
in the state using SPARMIS are
the Saginaw, Troy, Holland and
Berian County police depart
ments. CJI spokesman Altoi
Brown said 65 law enforcement
agencies representing 80 per
cent of the population and 90
per cent of the crime in the
state will be included in the
SPARMIS network by 1980.
