FEBRUARY 3- 1977 9, National Rebate trouble WASHINGTON - President Carter's $50-per-person tax re- bate-plan ran into trouble in Congress yesterday. Key Demo- crats called it wasteful and Sen- ate Republicans endorsed a per- manent across-the-board tax cut instead. Carter's economic spokesmen defended his proposal as the best and quickest method of pumping up the economy. Rep. Al Ullman, (D-Ore.), chairman of the House Ways and, Means Committee, said the rebate is virtually certain to win approv- al. But the 38 Republican sena- tors, liberals and conservatives alike, unanimously agreed to op- pose the rebate, calling it a pep pill and a gimmick. A4ded Ito those 38, the sev- eral Democratic senators who prefer pouring the $11.4 billioi cost of the rebates into jobs programs, spells trouble for the Carter plan. The Senate Republican pro- posal for stimulating the econo- my is built around an across- the-board cut in individual tax rates of about 7.5 per cent on the first $18,000 of taxable-in- come. This would mean lower taxes for most Americans, no matter how little or how much they earn. Nader protests WASHINGTON - Despite a drive within Congress for hi§ resignation or impeachmerit; Federal Trade Commissioner Paul Rand Dixon says the is- sue of his ethnic attack against Ralph Nader ought to be closed but, in any case, he will not step aside. Dixon,who called Nader "a son of a bitch and a dirty Arab," at an industry meeting two weeks ago, formally apologized Tuesday to an Arab-American group which had protested the remark to the White House. Even so, there were rumbles in both the House and Senate for Dixon to depart his commis- sion post, one which he has held 16 years, including several as chairman. Sen. Abraham Ribicoff, (D- Conn.), declared that "No in- dividual should continue to serve in any position of public trust who has demonstrated such poor judgment and lack of sensitivi- . ty." To that, Dixon responded that "I can't keep anybody up on the hill from doing what they want to do. But I think the matter ought to be closed, myself." Nader, meanwhile, was not satisfied, noting that Dixon chose to direct his apology only to the Arab-American organiza- tion. Dixon said he considered that his statement of regret applied to Nader, too, and "he has the apology fof which he is justi- fied." Nader, the nation's best-known consumer advocate, and spokes- man for Arab organizations also remained dissatisfied over the lack of comment on the issue from President Carter. Pay raise WASHINGTON - The Senate yesterday refused to block hef- ty pay raises for members of Congress and other top govern- ment officials. The vote, 56 to 42, came on a motion by Majority Leader Robert Byrd to kill an amend- ment proposed by Sen. James Allen, (D-Ala.), Who had called the congressional pay raises of close to 30 per cent a "terrific ripoff of the American taXpay- ers." Allen had paved the way for the vote by tacking an amend- ment on the pay raises to a, measure restructuring the Sen-' ate's committee system. The amendment would have blocked pay raises scheduled not only for, members of the House and Senate, but also for high-level executive branch of-, ficials and federal judges. The raises were recommend- ed by President Carter and sup- ported by former President Ger- ald Ford. Allen indicated he would make another attempt later to prevent the salary increases from tak -, ing effect. State Lay-offs DETROIT - Weather-related layoffs eased in the auto indus- try yesterday, but future plant shutdowns loomed because of developing parts shortages. Nearly 94,000 workers at 37 "Big Three" auto plants in 11i states were idle or working short shifts, down from 113,000 Tues- day. In Michigan, General Motors was the only one of the com- panies affected, with nearly 14,- 000 of its at five assembly plants either off the job or working cur- tailed shifts. School (id LANSING- State School Su- perintendent John Porter- said yesterday the state should bor- row $250 million so it can make all state school aid payments to colleges and universities on time. 's The Michigan Department of Treasury said last month it will delay half of February state aid payments to schools until July because of cash flow problems. Porter said the decision will force some school districts and colleges and universities to bor- row money to meet payrolls. "It would cost less in inter- est for the state to borrow $250 million that it would cost school districts to borrow the same Iamount," Porter said. if you see news happen call 76-DAILY k i.

If each of us cared just a smidge more about what we do for a living, we could actually turn that inflationary spiral around.
