Ford hopeful for inflation rate cut bv next year
From the Associated Press
WASHINGTON—President Gerald R. Ford told a Rose Garden news conference yesterday that he hoped for "some meaningful reduction in the rate of inflation" and that he would think the country was in a recession. In the first outdoor question-and-answer
In the first outdoor question and-answer session with responders, the staff also declared that:
—Despite his wife's recent cancer and kidney disease, he has insisted to run for election in 1976.
—He would meet with Soviet leader Leonid I. Brezhnev before a planned 1975 Washington summit. White House officials said a November meeting somewhere in the Pacific was under consideration.
—He continued to oppose forced busing to achieve racial balance in schools, but that he thought it was of "maximum importance that the city should have a police force" if it wouldn't be necessary to send federal troops to deal with racial disturbances there.
He still hoped to find a constitutional way to provide federal aid to private and parochial schools although the courts have frowned upon the tax credit idea he long had
—He would meet president Luis Leinsberger border between Arizona gpd. mexico on Oct. 17.
A — $50,000 gift by vice president designate Nelson A. Rockefeller to Henry A. Kissinger before he joined the government was free of impropriety.
Ford fielded questions with ease during
the half-hour session, and departed from the customary news conference format by encouraging reporters to ask follow-up questions. The car was carried live by television and radio.
Only two questions were asked that related to former President Richard Nixon.
To one question, Ford declined to discuss further the unconditional pardon he granted Mr. Larkins.
To another, Ford defended his recommendation, sharply assailed in Congress, that Nixon receive $850,000 for a transition period.
The topic of the economy dominated the session. Ford argued that his proposed surtax would affect only 28 per cent of all taxpayers and would produce income that would stimulate the slumping housing industry and assist those hardest hit by inflation.
Regarding Rockefeller's gift to Kissinger, Ford said:
could be applied has been paid, and that all legal problems involving that particular person are also avoided.
"Under those circumstances, I do not think there was any impropriety in the relationship between Dr. Kissinger and the former Gov. Rockefeller."
Responding to another question, he said he did plan to inquire into Rockefeller giftes but he didn't.
The President also was asked if he was upset by recent criticism directed at Kissinger for his roles in Cyprus, Chile and elsewhere.
"I have been assured that every tax that

tremendous respect and admiration for the superb job that he has done."
"I am very fond of Dr. Kissinger on a personal basis," Ford said. "I have

Ford made one of those extra efforts Tuesday night, driving to nearby Andrews Air Force Base, Md., at midnight to bidkirk on a negotiating trip to the Middle East.
BOSTON—A federal judge refused to call in federal marshes yesterday to quell disturbances resulting from Boston's school busing. Instead he ordered Kevin H. White, mayor, to summon police from surrounding areas.
that it is not necessary to call in federal or federal law enforcement agencies".
Asked if his wife's illness had had any effect on his 1975 plans, Ford said:
The ruling followed another day of disturbances in the city, mainly in the central district, where about 20 black youth roamed through three-block area, the mayor's office said.
There was no immediate indication under what authority White could call in officers who were there.
From the Associated Press
"The words that I used, if I recall aca-
tually, would probably be a candidate in 1976."
White had asked Garrity to call in at least 125 U.S. marshals. He said Boston police were no longer able to control the violence that has erupted in black and white neighborhoods since schools opened under Garrity's busing order Sept. 12.
Garrity suggested that White summon Massachusetts state police and police from communities near Boston. He said that if the National Guard was called in and was ineffective, "the governor can call on the President to call in federal troops."
While the hearing was in session, President Gerald R. Ford told a news conference in Washington, "I deplore the violence that I have read about and seen on television. I think that is most unfortunate. I don't want to be involved in decision in that case, in my judgment, was not the best solution to quality education in Boston.
"I have consistently opposed forced busing to achieve racial balance . . . and, therefore, I respectfully disagree with the judge's order."
However, Ford added, "I think it is of utmost importance that the citizens of Vermont understand what is at stake."
