WASHINGTON—Rep. Daniel J. Flood, D-Pa., was indicted by a federal guard in Washington on 10 counts of conspiracy and takinglibraries to the University of federal institution.
Food, 74, chairman of the House appropriations subcommittee for labor and health, education and welfare, was accused of taking bribes amounting to $60 million.
The indictment charged that Flood and his former administrative assistant, Stephen B. Elko, conspired to take $65,000 and 100 shares of stock in a Pennsylvania bank from several sources in return for influencing federal agencies in the awarding of contracts and other financial aid.
If convicted, Flood could be sentenced to up to 15 years in prison and fined $20,000 for each bribery count. He could be given five years in prison and fined $20,000 for each bribery count.

House expands tax cut plan
WASHINGTON—Despite the objections of Democratic leaders, the House passed a Republican-backed measure yesterday to slash federal income taxes.
By a 268-125 vote, the House said it favored the long-term tax cut concept contained in a Senate proposal sponsored by Sen. Sam Nunn, D-NC, and supra. (AP)
The plan would expand the 1979 tax cut bill to include $14.5 billion in additional reductions in 1860 through 1983. The cuts are conditional, depending on the holding down of government spending and the balancing of the federal budget during that period.
Under the plan, a four-member family with a $20,000 annual income would get a total tax cut by 1838 of about $768. Previously the Senate bill provided only a $400 tax cut.
Firm sets energy guidelines
WASHINGTON - The Rural Electrification Administration, which finances electric and telephone service in rural America, proposed policies yesterday that would require all of its borrowers to establish energy conservation programs.
Rural utilities will be required to draw up energy policies, implemented with adequate staff and funding, to qualify for REAL loans, officers said.
The rules would apply to more than 1,000 ERA systems in the United States and provide service to more than 29 million people.
Defense spending bill passed
WASHINGTON—Congress sent President Carter a record-breaking $11.73 billion defense spending bill yesterday in an effort to meet demand payrolls.
Leaders in both the House and Senate pushed the bill forward by pleading that quick action would insure paychecks could be delivered on schedule today to ensure that workers' benefits are paid.
rrayneckes have been stalled until passage of the appropriations bill, which funds practically all Pentagon spending in the 12 months ending Sept. 30, 1979.
TWA restructuring approved
KANAS CITY, Mo.—A special stockholder meeting of Trans World Airlines yesterday approved a corporate restructuring of TWA and its subsidiaries.
Under the new arrangement, effective Jan. 1, 1979, and subject to government, lender and shareholder approval, Trans World Corp. will become the sole lender in the United States.
Economic topic proposed
KANSAS CITY, Mo. The chairman of the Federal Reserve Board yesterday issued an eight-point program he believes can provide the federal government with the necessary budget by 1982.
Fed Chairman G. William Miller told a gathering of 200 Midwest bankers, however, that if the Federal Reserve Board were called upon to settle the bankrupt state, it would have to resort to the economy. He cautioned that a tight money program could trigger a recession while an extreme move in the opposite direction would fuel inflation and simply force banks to stop lending.
The chairman listed a balanced federal budget as the top priority for controlling inflation and getting at the root of the nation's economic problems. He said this should be done gradually to enable "the economy to adjust without erratic erys."
He predicted the federal budget would be balanced by 1982, possibly as early as 1981, and said President Carter's goal of a balanced budget was 'a bau'
NY pressmen reach settlement
NEW YORK—The New York Times, the Daily News and striking pressmen have agreed in principle on a settlement to the dispute that has idied the two huge newspapers for nine weeks, Theodore Kheel, labor lawyer, said yesterday.
It was not immediately clear how soon a contract agreement might be reached, or when the two morning papers could expect to reach settlements.
Walter E. Mattson, executive vice president and general manager of the Times, said the principles include job guarantees for all regular pressmen in return for the right to reduce the work force by attrition during a six-year period.
Jaucee rule prompts meeting
KANAS CITY, Mo.—Jaycee chapters from about a dozen cities plan to meet in Kansas City tomorrow to discuss alternatives to the national organization's recommendations.
Ron McNary, who heads a Kansas City Jaycees committee formed to study the question, said the all day meeting would be only for chapters with women
He said a directive from the national headquarters last summer gave local chapters until Dec. 1 to either conform to national policy or leave the
National Joyce rules have permitted women to join local chapters as associate members, but the Kansas City chapter and others recognize women as full voting members. Five of the 13 directors in the Kansas City chapter are women.
Power failure disrupts TV
NEW YORK—The three national television networks were knocked off the air for about 15 minutes in much of the nation last night by a power failure at a local station.
The spokesman said the signal for all three networks, which is relayed by cables and microwave transmitters operated by the American Telephone and Telegraph Company.
Spokesmen for AT&T were not immediately available for comment.
3 awarded Nobel for medicine
STOCKHOLM, Sweden—Two Americans and a Swiss won the Nobel Prize for medicine yesterday for their discovery of a method of breaking apart genetic material that may eventually unlock some of the mysteries of cancer and hereditary diseases.
The winners, chosen by the Nobel Committee of Sweden's Karolinska Institute of Medicine, are microbiologists Daniel Nathans and Hamilton O. Smith of Johns Hopkins University Medical School in Baltimore and Werner Arber of the University of Basel, Switzerland. The three will share an award of $165,000.
The three researchers, whose breakthrough findings were made in the late 1980s and early 1970s, were cited for the discovery of 'restriction enzymes' and 'reaction sites'.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Egypt and Israel began negotiations yesterday to draw up a peace treaty that President Carter will ultimately be broadened to include all Arab parties involved in the Middle East con-
Egypt, Israel talk in Washington
"The United States is committed, without reservation, to seeing this process through until each party is at peace with all the others," Carter said at an opening ceremony at the White House.
Delegates to the conference walked across Pennsylvania Avenue to Blair House, where, in a second-floor office, they met with Dr.
Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance and other U.S. officials then met with the Israeli delegation. After lunch, a separate U.S.-Egyptian meeting was set up. The three sides got together again late in the afternoon.
The negotiations, which grew out of last month's Camp David accords, deal with details of Israel's withdrawal from the Sinai Desert, security arrangements and an exchange of ambassadors.
AT THE first session, which lasted 15 minutes, procedures were established for the talks, which are ex-
It is hoped that a treaty can be completed within two months.
MUCH OF the Arab world has condemned Egyptian President Anwar Sadat for what could turn out to be a separate peace with Israel. Carter also has felt the sting of this criticism.
The goal, Carter said, is "to make peace and dignity a reality for all the people of the Middle East." He invited Jordan, the Palestinians living on the West Bank of the river and in Gaza, and others to join the peace process.
In his welcoming remarks, the president underscored a commitment to a comprehensive settlement and to the rebuilding of the city.
THE ALTERNATIVE, Carter said, "is drift, stalemate, eternal enemy and perhaps even another war."
Mose Dayan, the Israeli foreign minister, stood to the president's right.
To Carter's left in the East Room stood Kamal Hassan All, the new Egyptian defense minister in Sadaf'sadat.
Dayan, speaking briefly, said Israel hoped the way was now clear for concluding a peace treaty. There were no apparent political messages in the former general's remarks.
BUT ALL underscored the need for "a comprehensive peace which ensures the fulfilment of the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people and enables them to play a constructive role in a peaceful Middle East."
He said the 40 million Egyptian people hoped the two frameworks camped at Camp David—one setting up peace with Israel and the other negotiations over the figure of the West Bank and Gaza—"will serve as a solid foundation for a comprehensive force to be built in good faith by all parties."
THE TALKS are being held under U.S. sponsorship, and are to be conducted in the same strict secrecy that is required for other transactions.
Energy plan stalled in Congress
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Carter's long-stalled energy program was seriously jeopardized yesterday by sudden parliamentary skids in the waning days.
Congressional leaders were confronted with a filibuster in the Senate and a vote that rejected, at least temporarily, a plan for the two to consider the energy package in one piece.
In the Senate, Sen. James Abeurez, D.S.D., successfully waged a one-man filibuster, forcing Senate leaders to postpone a key vote on the energy-tax part of the
THE DELAYING tactics by Abourez seemed to mean that final action on Carter's 18-month-old energy plan would have to wait until tomorrow. Congress is scheduled for October.
Another obstacle was thrown in the path of the energy plan in the House, where a firefighters was called.
The House Rules Committee, which serves as a traffic cop for legislation headed by the Speaker, has determined which the five sections of the energy plan would have been combined and voted on as
OPPONENTS of the energy plan hope to split off the controversial natural gas pricing deregulation portion of the package and vote on it separately.
They think there is much more opposition to the natural gas portion separately than to the coal.
But opponents failed on an identical 8-6 vote to persuade the Rules Committee members to send the energy package to the governor, a natural gas bill to be voted on separately.
The result is a kind of legislative limbo.
Earlier, Carter had invited 20 congressmen to the White House for a last-minute meeting, seeking their support on the energy package. Only six showed up.
HOUSE SPEAKER Thomas P. O'Neill, D-Mass., met with members of the committee to find a way over the parliamentary roadblock.

SENATE LEADERS tried unsuccessfully to get Aboure寨 to drop his filibuster. When he refused, Majority Leader Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va., filed a filibuster-killing closure petition that, if approved by 60 senators, would stop the filibuster.
