Ford sians NYC loans
WASHINGTON - A bill providing $2.3 billion in emergency loans to New York citizens, which the state approved a change in the nation's bankruptcy laws in case the city fails.
President Ford signed the emergency loan bill and called on Congress to approve a $10.8 billion supplemental appropriation measure which includes the actual mortgage relief.
The bill before the House applies to all municipalities and would not require a balanced budget. The measure also would automatically block any lawsuits against municipalities.
Ford offers information
WASHINGTON—President Ford's aides expanded his compromise offer to the select House Intelligence Committees in a new effort yesterday to head off contempt.
Chairman Otsis G. Pike, D-N-Y., said he will drop his plan to call for a House offer in Kissinger today if a committee delegation decides Ford's offer is satisfactory here.
Gunmen demand meeting
AMSTERDAM–South Moluccan gunmen holding 25 hostages at the Indonesian consulate here are demanding a meeting in Geneva between a mediator from their country and an American diplomat.
An informed source in The Hague said the government was intent on siting out both the six-day-old siege in Amsterdam and a related, eight-day-old siege by other South Molucan extremists holding 31 hostages in a hijacked train in northern Holland.
The young extremists are demanding independence from Indonesia for their native South Moluca Islands.
Angolan arms aid hinted
WASHINGTON — Secretary of State Henry Kissinger hinted yesterday that the U.S. would not non-commission groups in Angola in their struggle against a Soviet-backed factories.
He declined to give further details, except to say that the United States has provided military assistance to neighboring Zaire, a staunchly anti-Soviet country. Zaire has channelled arms aid to the non-Communist National Front for the Liberation of Angola.
Buildings open for break but thermostats lowered
Although many campus buildings will have areas in which room temperatures will be reduced during Christmas break, all buildings will be open, according to Max Lucas, assistant to the chancellor and chairman of the Energy Task Force.
Luca斯 said yesterday that Twente, Flint and Marvin halls wouldn't be closed during Christmas break. He said preliminary plans to close the buildings entirely to conserve energy had been adjusted because the occupants of the buildings needed the space for administrative purposes and for intersession classes.
Instead, Lucas said, personnel from each of the schools occupying the buildings would make sure that room temperatures were held at the required degrees in unused portions of the buildings.
