Revolt squashed
From the Associated Press
LA PAZ, Bolivia—President Hugo Banzer Suarez personally led a contingent of soldiers to squash a military and civilian revolt in the eastern city of Santa Cruz yesterday, the government said. Banzer's forces also participated in an anti-rebel demonstration, and began a "cleanup operation." There was no mention of casualties. Banzer, an army colonel, took power three years ago with a copy that also been in Santa Cruz the oil and agriculture center of Bolivia. Since then, he has resisted more than a dozen plots against his right-wing, and Communist regime.
Unbalanced budget
From the Associated Press
WASHINGTON—Some officials in government now say a balanced budget in 1976 probably is beyond reach. Unless there are cuts in 1975 spending, the government faces a 1975 budget deficit of at least $13 billion, instead of the $1.15 billion deficit projected in May. Treasury Secretary William E. Simon and others have said the continuing federal deficits are a maor jac reason of the nation's inflation. But inflation also has made the goal of balanced budgets more elusive, by forcing government costs upward.
Argentine guerrillas
From the Associated Press
BUENOS AIRES - Outlawed Marxist guerrillas flouted Argentina's new state of siege yesterday, killing an army officer, burning military vehicles and raiding a bus commuter railroad station. The attacks apparently were a refusal of terrorists to accept the broad powers of the government, a person to end what the government called an "inhuman and criminal" entire nation." Interior Minister Alberto Rocamora said the state of siege was imposed because of anonymous threats that school children and teachers would be killed and their classrooms bombed.
Food standards
From the Associated Press
WASHINGTON - The Federal Trade Commission proposed yesterday a set of standards for advertisers who say their food is healthful and nutritious. But the commission sidestepped, at least temporarily, the issue of whether to require some nutritional information from all food advertisers. Under the proposal, for example, a soup advertised as "wholesome" or "nutritious" would have to contain protein and at least 10 percent of its minerals of at least 10 per cent the recommended adult requirements. If the ads would have to be spelled out in the ad. However, a candy bar maker could call his product "good" or "great" without saying whether it contributed to a balanced diet.
Claim of election mandate disputed
From the Associated Press
WASHINGTON-Party chairman Robert Straus said yesterday that sweeping victory in Tuesday's elections put pressure on Democrats to lead in the fight against inflation with a legislative program of their own.
But AFL-CIO President George Meany and elections expert Richard Scammon disagreed with Straus's assessment of the role as a mandate for the Democratic party.
"I don't believe in this mandate stuff." Meany said in a news conference. "I don't think it was a mandate for the Democratic party. It was a vote against the party that happened to be represented at the White House."
Scammon, a former director of the Census Bureau, told the National Women's Democratic Club the vote had been "anti-situation and circumstances, not anti-Democratic. This was an anti-Nixon, anti-inflation and anti-Pollution vote."
But all three agreed that given the congressional strength, the Democrats had better do something with it to ease the public's anxiety over the economy.
Meany said Democrats already con-
tained that she'd been produce-
d with their majorities.
Strauss said he had talked to the
"We're not getting a great deal of support for things, the bread and butter issues, that we believe the American people are interested in," Meany said.

Non-voters key to victories in close off-year elections
From the Associated Press
From the Associated Press
If a candidate had the near-record number of votes he received from the polls had voted, many candidates who lost cliff-hanger elections Tuesday might have been elected to high government office.
Five races for state governorships will go on record as being decided by less than 5,000 votes. One of the five squeakers still is undecided. In a sixth close contest, a candidate conceded that he had lost, only to learn later that he was the winner.
There were cliff-hangers in five U.S. Senate races. In one the final unofficial returned had the candidates less than 100 votes, and the same name to be decided before an official canvass.
In another one the spread was less than 300, and in a third it was about 600. The two others were decided by fewer than 5,000 votes.
Republican Paul Laxalt, the former governor of Newada, narrowly won his bid to remain governor.
Voter turnout for Tuesday's election, which was estimated at 38 per cent, was the lowest since 1946 when 37.1 per cent of the voting age population went to the polls. The highest figure on record is 32.3 per cent for 1942, when millions of men were away at war.
158,000 cast in the race. The same for U.S.
Louis. C. Wyman, another Republican,
who won by less than 300 votes in a New
Philadelphia race where 220,000 balls were
cast.
Then there's North Dakota where the results of that Senate race are still uncertain. As canvassing boards began go over election returns yesterday G.O.P. Sen. Milton R. Young is leading his challenger, former Democratic Gov. William L. Guy, by less than 100 votes out of more than 236,000 cast.
The winning margins were somewhat wider in four of the cliff-hanger races for governorships. Had 5,000 persons voted the other way, Arizona Democrat Ralto Castro, Republican Robert Bernett of Kansas, and Republican Robert McNamara of New Hampshire and Democrat Jerry Apodaca of New Mexico would be looking for other work.
Democratic leaders of Congress and expected them to come up with a firm legislative program. Democrats will try to gain more support from the new Congress, which convenes Jan. 3.
Bennett says No resignations of state heads,
Bennett, a Republican, won the Kansas governorship by defeating Atty. Gen. Vern Miller by about 5,000 votes in Tuesday's general election. He met with retiring governor John Kerry early to lay the groundwork for effecting a smooth transition of the government.

Bennett said the only appointment he had made was to name Helen Marshall, his personal secretary as Senate president, personal secretary to the governor.
Bennett said the only key administrator certain to remain in the new administration was Dwight Metzler, recently appointed by the secretary of health and environment.
Bennett said he probably would make a private recommendation on his successor as president of the Senate. That decision will be made by the Republican majority leader when legislators come to Topela the first week in December for organizational meetings.
Strauss said Republican might have done better if President Gerald R. Ford had come out with a more economic program and campaigned on it. Meany was wrong, he said. Ford proposals a "program of inaction—unless you count these WIN buttons."
Democrats picked up at least three Senate seats for a new total of 61 and at least four for a new total of 40. Strusau said even more Democrats gain at least four governorships and a sweep of eight of the 10 most populous states, including the top two, California and New York.
TOPEKA-Governor-elect Robert F. Bennett said yesterday he had received no offers of resignation from present state agency heads and had asked for none.

"We need to pin down a rather precise firststage legislative program," Strauss said at a National Press Club breakfast. "And the Hill leadership will do that."

Strauss said Democratic control of most of the nation's governorships gave the party a political base that considerably enhanced the ability of the state of winning the presidency in 1976.
Otherwise, Strauss said, "We'll hear from the people in coefs of years" - in the next chapter.

Meanwhile, a White House spokesman said Ford didn't discuss any plans for trying to find places in his administration or House and Senate Republican candidates.
says thanks
"The Democratic candidates made a promise to the American people," Strauss and a majority of the 40 per cent that voted in the election in it. We are going to have to fulfill it."
"The people themselves don't know just exactly what they want in the way of an economic program," Strauss said. "But they haven't given their leadership, and they haven't been getting it."
When asked by reporters about any plans for finding posts for the defeated Republicans, Nessen said, "I haven't heard the President say that."
Scammon said the real lesson of the elections was "a message to get on with the election don't con us . . . don't give us a used car deal for you . . . don't give us a best way, but get on with doing your job."
Strauss said the program coming from congressional Democrats would include measures on tax reform, health care, housing and public service employment.
There will not be any matinee for popular movies on Saturday Afternoons because there has been a minimum of audience attendance.
