High Inflation Predicted Dunlop Contradicts Administration's Estimates
WASHINGTON (AP) - Inflation in the second half of the year will be worse than both the Nixon administration or private economists have predicted, the government's top price controller. John T. Dumlon, said yesterday.
Dunlop, director of the Cost of Living Council, said he believed the inflation rate during the April-June quarter would be about the same as the 10.8 per cent surge of the January-March quarter.
"Thereafter, it may go down." be told reporters.
Official concern over the rocketing rate of inflation led to action on two key fronts;
"Thereafter, it may go down," he told reporters. But he said the nation's overall price level would be higher than the 5 to 6 per cent increases forecast for the second by the administration and most private economists.
"The Federal Reserve Board, the nation's central bank,
raised from 7% to a record high 6 per cent the interest rate
set by the Fed in March," said Jim Watson.
"The problem of inflation continues to be of serious concern to the board." it said.
"The Senate Democratic conference voted unanimously to seek an extension of wage-price controls, despite past opposition. Senate Democratic leader Mike Manfield of Michigan has joined the debate through, with controls scheduled to die next Tuesday.
Dunlop said he had suggested to administration economic
advisers that the official inflation forecast be raised. He referred to the inflation rate as calculated by the Gross National Product, the broadest measure of the economy. Deadline for the survey is October 29.
Proof that most of the forecasts are wrong and too low came when first-quarter GNP figures showed an inflation
Before the said, Meanwhile, Treasury. Secretary-designate Willie Simon said at his Senate confirmation hearings that the decline in the GNP in the last three months appeared to be just temporary and centered in the auto, oil and housing sectors.
A tax cut to stimulate production, he said, would be highly inflationary.
Nixon Requests More Foreign Aid
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Nixon asked Congress yesterday for $18 billion more foreign aid funds for fiscal 1975, including $250 million for Egypt and $100 million that possibly could be used for Syria and the Palestine refugees.
"In the Middle East we have an opportunity to achieve a significant breakthrough for world peace," Nixon said in message requesting the aid for fiscal 1975.
He also said the aid would be vital in negotiating a settlement which would serve the interests of Israel and the Arab nations. U.S. assistance is as critical to South Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos during their difficult transition from war to peace he said.
The President and Secretary of State
The Nixon request called specifically for $907.5 million to the Middle East, Egypt, $250 million, Jordan, $207.5 million and $100 million would go to a special requirements
He also捞 $943 million for Indochina:
$750 million for Vietnam, $110 million for Cambodia, $55 million for Laos and an
additional $28 million to administer the program.
No funds were sought for reconstruction in North Vietnam. Gerald L. Warren, deputy White House press secretary, said economic aid to Hanoi couldn't be considered until there was compliance with the Paris peace agreement.
Henry A. Kissinger outlined the aid package to congressional leaders in a 98-minute breakfast meeting. Afterward, House Speaker Carl Albert of Oklahoma said he would be helpful for the United States, the Middle East and the Arab states and for the state of Israel.
Albert added, "Of course the continuance of Israel is a matter of national interest on
Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield said he would consider the proposal with an open mind. He said he remained generally opposed to foreign aid.
Sen. Robert P. Griffin of Michigan, the assistant Republican leader, said the aid proposal was justified and desirable to build an enduring peace in the Middle East.
"So I believe it will be supported," he said.
In asking $250 million for Egypt, Nixon said the funds would be used for the tasks which come with peace—clearing the Suez Canal and restoring African areas and restoring Egyptian trade.
The White House said no funds were for military assistance.
The $350 million for Israel is designed,
Nixon said, for Israel's continued ability to defend herself.
The $207.5 million for Jordan, Nixon said, will enable that country to maintain a position of moderation and independence, will be crucial to a permanent settlement.
The $100 million special fund will be used "for new needs that may arise as the outlines of a peaceful settlement take shape, including provision for peacekeeping forces, refugee aid or settlement, and development projects," Nixon said.
Nixon requested $75 million for development loan funds for India.
Hearst Tape Calls Father a 'Pig'
"To those people who feel I am brawnashed I see no need to further defend my position. I am a soldier in the people's army." Hearst said.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—In a tapped recording received by San Francisco police, newspaper heiress Patricia Hearst revived her father yesterday as a "pip" and her daughter as a robber and declared she willingly had robbed the Symbionese Liberation Army concludes.
The tape was received by community relations director Rodney E. Williams along with the rest of the team.
A Hearst family spokesman said the
message was authentic, and Patricia Heard's heart said he still believed she was wrong.
"At no time did any of my comrades point their guns at me. We forced the corporate state to help finance the revolution," said Hearst, who was photographed by bank cameras carrying an automatic carbine in the April 15 bank robbery. The SLA members escaped with $10,692 and wounded two persons in a bail of gunfire.
Heart is been named a material witness in the robbery. There was no imputation of guilt.

Clyde Walker Replies to Senate Accusations
"To the clowns who want a personal interview with me—Vincent Hallan an Irish poet, I am fine and my fringe and the pig Hearts, I prefer them in the bank," she said. "It's 'a硬要 to think that I could surface to say what I am saying'." And that is not what I comrades. The enemy still wants me done.
Although Athletic Director Clyde Walker refused to comment yesterday on a proposed Student Senate resolution calling for the resignation, he responded to most of the alcales' objections.
One of the allegations that Waker hasn't justified his "demand that the student body increase its financial support" is Kansas Athletic Association (KUAA).
KUUA will receive about $7,650 more from students next season than it did last season, based on estimates of how many tickets for football and basketball next year.
Recent increases in the cost of student season tickets for football and basketball are necessary to keep KU competitive with other schools in the Big East. Walker said,
Season tickets for next year will cost $15 for football and $13 for basketball.
It is unfortunate that such a large increase had to come in one year, Walker said, but the fact that prices haven't increased substantially in 10 years must be considered.
Season tickets last year cost students
$5.50 for basketball and $5.50 for basketball.
"If we want to remain competitive with the rest of the Big Eight—and I can't see anyone not wanting that—we've got to pay our fair share, whoever we are—students, faculty or the man on the street," Walker said.
KUAA is trying to increase its revenue not only from students but also from alumni contributions and general admission tickets, Walker said.
Student Support of Athletic Programs at Big Eight Schools
Williams said the tape and license were in a brown paper package which also contained a red poster depicting hands and a clenched fist. Also in the package was a brief letter to a community action group, Western Addition Project Area Committee, asking that the bundle be hand delivered to either one of two local radio stations.

KSU $12 $12 $13 $63,750

Senate to Alter Plan For Walker to Resign
Lauter's resolution said the senate should ask for Walker's resignation because of "capricious, arbitrary and irresponsible student athletics" and would recommend student athletic ticket price increases.
The resolution was submitted by Richard Lauter, Evanston, Ill., senior and student senator, to the Student Senate Executive Committee (SenEx) Tuesday night.
Dierck Casselman, Hiwata junior and sports committee chairman, said the committee agreed with the spirit and intent of the resolution although they thought the
Instead, the committee decided to write an alternative to the resolution to be presented to the senate for final decision on May 1.
Walker said the total amount expected from student ticket sales was calculated by multiplying the estimated number of students who would buy tickets by one-half the price of general admission tickets. The price of student tickets is lowered in
Next year season tickets for general admission will cost $25 for basketball and
Another allegation is that the ticket price increases are the result of "capricious, arbitrary and irresponsible actions" by KUAA's leadership "despite written documentation and inferences that prices would increase only to a lesser degree."
A resolution asking for the resignation of Athletic Director Clyde Walker was neither approved nor disapproved last night by the Student Senate Sports Committee.

The sports committee made its decision after talking with Lauter. Lauter told the committee that his resolution was well thought out and that the wording was perhaps a little strong, but it needed to be strong.
Two suggested actions were that SenEx set up a task force to study the problem with the KU Athletic Association (KUAA) and the UCLA Athletic Institute (UCIA) for Archie R. Dykes, Walker and Beiner.

clause asking for the resignation was strong.
The schedule says that if KUAA received $90,000 from activity fees, which was the amount it received, football tickets would cost $12.
John Beisser, Salina junior and student body president, said, "I don't think this particular resolution asking for the resignation of the senate action the senate could take at this time."
The committee talked about changing the clause of the resolution that requested Walker's resignation to recommendations of actions that could be taken.
Walker said when that the KU Athletic board, the governing body of KUAA, had decided to cancel a trip.

of student tickets had also increased. He said that was how the price of $15 for student tickets was determined and that it was capricious, arbitrary or irresponsible.
Walker responded to an allegation that "the leadership of the KUUA apparently feels it is no longer desirable to have KU students as spectators at its intercollegiate athletic events" by saying, "That's utterly ridiculous."
"I want them there," he said. "I think we need them there."
"He said the Zebra operation is just another way for black people' names and addresses to be put into federal computers," Williams said.
The stations, KSAN and KPFA, have received communiques from the SLA in the weeks since Patricia Hearst was dragged screaming from her apartment.
Williams said a second voice on the tape identified himself as Cinque, the purported leader of the guerrilla group. He denounced the "Zebra" killer or killers.
