Reaction in Congress was ov-
erwhelmingly in favor of tax
cuts especially for lower paid
Americans, but Ford's energy
plans caused concern because
it was felt higher oil costs
would increase inflation by
pushing up prices for manufac-
tured goods.
OBSERVERS said tax cuts
were certain - the Democrat's
own economic battle plan calls
for relief - but Congress would
decide how deep they would be.
One aspect of the President's
program virtually certain to
provoke a clash in Congress was
his announced intention to veto
any new spending programs in
1975.
Demanding a restraint in gov-
ernment spending, Ford said
the federal deficit would be $30

billion this year and $45 billi
next year, and the nation
debt would rise to more tha
$500 billion.

LAST THURSDAY, a three

Tenure Act, and that the dis-
missed teachers should be re-

The Crestwood district, which
has already hired over 100 non-

S t a t e Department officials
said that trade with the Soviet
Union would continue despite
the lack of an agreement, prob-
ably at its current level of $1,000
million a year. An attempt was
underway to see whether new
legislation should be submitted
to Congress so that Russia could
receive most - favored nation

they are used for a functian

Other committee members
