But the AFL-CIO's chief econ- omist, Nathaniel Goldfinger, said in behalf of the 13.6 million mem- ber labor federation, "We don't see an~y clear evidence whatsoever of a slowing down in the rate of in- flation," still running at an aq nual rate of 6 per cent this year on top of the 6.1 per cent climb in 1969. The May rise in prices for food, clothing, housing, transportation, medical care and recreation push- ed the government's Consumer Price Index up to 134.6. The figure means that every $10 worth of typical family goods and services in 1957-59, the base per- iod for the index, cost $13.46 last month. Grocery prices climbed again after remaining level in April. The four-tenths May rise and.

Edward Kennedy (D-Mass) yesterday as they discuss the Senate's approval to start holding night sessions next week in order to consider Nixon administration funding bills delayed by the lengthy debate on U.S. policies in Cambodia. Under the plan, the military sales bill, vehicle for the anti-war Cooper-Church amend- ment, will be put aside daily at 5 p.m. for four or five hours of other business. The Senate will also meet two hours ahead of its normal noon startingtime. RECYCLING CENTER PLANNED: Drive yields 65 monthly change, which is signifi- cant," Popkin said. . But Goldfinger noted the five- tenths average still amounts to an annual rate of 6 per cent, higher than the 5.4 per cent average for 1969 when the worst of the price spiral began. While averaging out 1969 price increases gave a 5.4 per cent figure, the price index wound up 6.1 per cent higher on a De- cember-to-December basis. "That's a 6 per 'cent annual rate," Goldfinger said of Popkin's report for the past four months. That's an acceleration of the rate of increase for the year 1969." The Nixon administration has been insisting its policies govern- ing interest rates, money supply and federal budget cuts would soon bring down the rate of inflation, but the labor federation has charged they are boosting unem- ployment to the highest level in five years without making a dent in price increases. The bureau's report said some 45 million rank-and-file workers gained $1.06 a week to an average of $118.72 weekly in May, a gain of four-tenths of one per cent, but that because of inflation pur- chasing power was 1.5 per cent lower than a year earlier. Consumer services rose five- tenths of one per cent, smallest increase since November, but were still the largest category of price hikes over the past year. Popkin said services were up 8 per cent over the year, largely be- cause of an 11.1 per cent boost for mortgage interest, a little more than 10 per cent each for tran- sportation and for maintenance and repair costs, and 9.5 per cent for taxes and insurance-not in- cluding income taxes. he COSM ET ICS custom matched shades WIGS privately fitted 810 Brown WE SERVICE WIGS tons 'of bottles Carmichael testifies at hearing WASHINGTON (P) -=Stokely Carmichael, once head ofa con- troversial and militant civil rights group, invoked the 5th Amend- ment 47 times in a secret session of the Senate Internal Security subcommittee three months ago. The hearing, conducted by Sen. Strom Thurmond, (R-SC) was so secret that at least one subcom- mittee member, Sen. Birch Bayh, (D-Ind) complained he had not heard of it until immediately be- fore it began.I Carmichael, who in recent months has lived mainly in Africa testified he did not know who was responsible for the recent wave of bombings of public buildings, that he knew no Puerto Rican "ter- rorists" who might be implicated in the bombings or other acts and that he knew no persons who could be labeled "conspirators." He refused to answer most other questions which centered around his trips to Puerto Rico, Cuba, Communist China and North Vietnam. The transcript of the March 25 session of the subcommittee, which, among other things is in- quiring into alleged Communist links with American civi rights groups, was released today. Under questioning by J. G. S o u r w i n e, the subcommittee's chief counsel, Carmichael said he had been out of the United States for 14 months and had no first hand knowledge of events here. "I do not know who is respon- sible for the bombing or what their grievances are," he said at one point. "However, I could say historical- ly, though, that as long as there is injustice I am sure people will find ways to demonstrate their grievances." "If people are really concerned about stopping violence," he said, "they should stop injustice. And if justice were assured I am sure violence would stop." Carmichael invoked his 5th Amendment constitutional right against self incrimination to avoidnanswering a wide variety of questions posed by Sourwine. He pleaded the 5th Amendment when asked if he had connections with the Fair Play for Cuba Com- miteee, or had ever known of an attempt by the Communist Party. USA, to infiltrate the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Com- mittee (SNCC) -of which he was once chairman. He also refused to say if he had ever met personally with Cuban premier Fidel Castro, had signed a pact of alliance with the In- dependence Movement of Puerto Rico, had ever become a member of the Cuban armed forces, or had ever urged black Americans to bomb the ghettos. Carmichael did not use the self- incrimination protection a few times and when asked by Sourwine if he knew of any secret arms stockpiles in the United States re- plied: "I don't know anything about that so it would be impos- sible for me to give you any in- formation."

Over one-half million bottles were collected in the drive, for which an Ohio glass manufactur- ing company paid contributors 1 cent per pound. The glass was crushed and sent in three fully- loaded tractor trailer trucks to the firms Charlotte, Michigan plant where it will either be remelted to make new bottles or mixed with asphalt to make a durable paving material. The program was so successful, ENACT leaders sr y, that the Owen-Illinois Company, the glass manufacturing firm, has agreed to Campus unrest listed as biggest problem Campus unrest is regarded by Americans as the country's lead- ing problem, according to a recent Gallup poll. Until now, campus unrest has not ranked higher that fifth on a list of the most important prob- lems that plague this country. But according to the latest poll, campus unrest was ahead of the war in Southeast Asia, other in- ternational crises, racial strife, the high cost of living and many other problems. The survey was taken during May 22 and May 25 when 1,509 adults were interviewed in more than 300 localities across the country. Campus unrest was listed as the leading problem by 27 per cent of those polled. The fighting in Southeast Asia was second by 22 per cent. Third was other inter- national problems, named by 14 per cent. A survey that was taken in January on the leading problems indicated that the war in Indo- china was listed as the most im- portant followed by the high cost of living and racial strife. The poll also reported that many of the college alumni polled believed that college administra- tions failed to give the same im- portance to conservative leaders as they did of those of liberal leaders. Of the alumni polled, 45 per cent agreed with that view- point, 39 per cent disagreed and 16 per cent had no opinion. Belief that faculties failed to give equal weight to the two polit- ical viewpoints was found to a greater extent in Eastern and Western states, the poll reported, than in Southern and Midwestern states. The findings on those view- points were based on replies of college-educated individuals who took part in the survey on the nation's leading problems. They constituted 24 per cent of those who participated in that survey. set up a permanent collection point in the city to aid in the re- cycling of glass as well as alum- inum cans, paper and scrap metal. The new collection point will be open eight hours a day and will be staffed by full-time workers and ENACT volunteers. It will be operated on a drive-in basis, and contributors willrbe able to make a quick exchange of glass for money on the premises. Carol Muscara, who served as ENACT co-ordinator of the glass collection project, said that the center will be located at the corn- er of Detroit and Kingsly Streets, across from the ENACT's Ecology Center. The company, she said, has agreed to pay the rent for the center and will continue to pay contributors for their glass or other reusable refuse. In discussing the purpose of the glass-drive, William Kopper, Di- rector of the Ecology Center, said "We're primarily concerned with the attitude of people toward our natural resources. He reiterated ENACT's opposi- tion to the production of ao-de- posit, no-return bottles but added,j "We recognize and publicly en- courage the recycling and wise use of our raw -ateriars wherever pos- sible." He said, "We can no longer con- tinue to live in a 'throw ,y world' where our natural rent^"ces go on a one-way trip from the land to our air, water, and dumps." The thousands of pounds of glass were brought to a tempo-ary weigh station in the Arborland shopping center Tuesday and Wednesday. Churches, neighborhood groups, scouts and individuals concerned about environmental prr o b 1 e m s participated in the project. The largest single redemption was 2 935 pounds of glass collected by the Methodist Youth Fellowship in New Hudson, Michigan.
