It said Democratic candidates for contested seats had received more than $22 million by Sept. 1. Their Republican opponents had been slightly more than $16 million.

HONOLULU—the chairman of the Federal Reserve Board said Monday that several disturbing trends in modern banking called for a reorganization of bank regulation machinery. Arthur F. Burns, head of the nation's primary bank regulatory agency, said, "My own present thinking, however, is that building upon the existing machinery may not be sufficient, and that a substantial reorganization will be required to overcome the problems inherent in the current arrangement. Benjamin Browne said the arrangement created overlapping among state bank regulators, the Federal Reserve, the Treasury Department's Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.

Dean said that near the end of March he hired a criminal lawyer and first men with the firm.
He said he had told Halademan what he had done and received the reply, "John, you ought to think about that because once the band came out, tube it, it's awfully hard to get it back."
The White House said no tape recording of that conversation was made because the recording machine wasn't operating. On that day Nixon was told of the full involvement of his aides in the scandal by Aty. Gen. Richard G. Kleindienst and

Ford urged to 'jawbone' inflation
WASHINGTON- Speaking for congressional Democrats, Sen. Edmund S. Muskie, D-Maine, urged President Ford on measures to dampen wage and price increases.
If jawboning and other bargaining action fails, Muskie said, "mandatory actions must be taken."
No economic plan can be adequate today unless it attacks the energy shortage, which is responsible for two and a half percentage points of inflation, Muskie said.
Muskie said his own proposals were in lightning not only inflight but also recharge.

Muskie also said business must share the sacrifices required to fight inflation and boost growth.
In a speech prepared for broadcast on NBC-TV in response to Ford's address to a Future Farmers of America convention last week, Mussie said:
Muskie, chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, said Ford should do some hard bargaining "to dampen price and wage increases that are about to occur."
"If the President wanies Americans to eat less, drive less and demand less, he should be prepared to ask some of them to charge less."
"The roll-back on automobile price increases" was a small but worthy start, he said, referring to Ford's criticism that that automakers' Motors' reduction of its 1975 price hikes.
"There is no economic justification for taxing the buying power of middle Americans at a time when we are in a serious national recession." he said.
He repeated Ford's call for rigid energy conservation and added that unless automobile manufacturers agreed to increase gasoline mileage of new cars over the next two years, "mandatory legislation must become—economy requirements will be required."
Musk urge the Federal Reserve Board to ease its tight-money policy to assure a

Muskie said a temporary cut in payroll taxes would increase the buying power of Americans and reduce the incentive of farmers to press for ever-higher wage settlements.

At the same time, Muskie added, every effort must be made to find alternative energy sources to take the pressure off imported oil.

President Ford's economic advisers have predicted that retail prices will continue rising at a rate of about 1 per cent a month through the end of the year, and that there would be no significant easing of inflation until sometime next year.
The year already is destined to go down as the worst peace-time inflationary year on record. Retail prices have climbed 9.7 per cent so far this year, surpassing last year's rise of 8.8 per cent, which was the worst since 1947.

Ford campaigns for GOP
From the Associated Press
CLEVELAND—Broadening his drive to prevent Democrats from winning veto-proof majorities in Congress, President Ford declared yesterday that in addition to fueling inflation "if we get the wrong kind of Congress, peace could be in jeopardy."
The President endorsed such Ohio GOP candidates as gubernatorial nominee James Rhodes, who didn't attend the event, and Senate nominee Ralph Perk, who did. Then, in oblique reference to predictions of major Democratic victories, Ford said he would "call on Republicans in Ohio and in Indiana to the country to turn out" for November 5. Like others, he confound the doomsayers. Fool the pessimistic pollers."
Later, in an address prepared for a fundraising dinner in Cleveland, Ford said that if Democrats made significant gains in the Nov. 5 elections, then “buckle your seat belt—it's going to make the inflation rate look like it's tied to the moon shot.”
For the first time in his 17-state effort to bolster Republican chances in next month's elections, Ford said in an Oklahoma City rally that he needed a far-sighted and well-versed plan that we can have peace abreast, so we can work on our problems at home."
"Without question," he said, "apathy is

Ford's assertion that peace could be jeopardized by the Nov. 5 elections prompted an immediate response from the Immediate Committee Chairman Dr. S. Strauss.
"I was both saddened and troubled at hearing President Ford's shocking implication that the election of Democrats will create a more effect on world peace," Strauss said.
