FTC accuses store chains of fraud
From the Associated Press
WASHINGTON—Five department store chains were accused yesterday by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) of allegedly pocketing **2.8 million** that charge-average customers overpayed on
The commission listed five corporations doing business under nine different banners, including Gimbelis, Neiman-Marcus, Berkerdel Goodman, Neiman, Bowtit Teller, Bordner and Lerner.
Mozambique riots
LORENCO MARQUES, Mozambique—At least 200 persons, mostly blacks, were stoned, stabbed or beaten in racial rioting that followed the assassination of their revol, a senior police officer said yesterday.
The whites were protesting the signing of an agreement Saturday that gave control of the territorial government to Frelimo, the African guerrilla movement that fought the Portuguese for 10 years. The colony will receive its independence from Portugal next June.
The police officer made the casualty estimate after touring the black shanty-towns that surround Lorrence Marques, the capital city, on three sides. They have been the scene of destruction, killing, burning and looting by whites since Tuesday when the leaders of a white movement surrendered.
"They are just in a wild mood and completely out of hand," one official said.
MIGs to Egypt
BEIRUT—The Soviet Union has applied Egypt with 50 MW lighter-bombers, according to the U.N.
Several Egyptian airports were closed for three hours Monday to receive the MIG28s. Russia's most trusted airport is Mumbai.
The newspaper also claimed that numerous other russian transport planes had also landed modern
The reported airlift ended a Soviet ban on shipments of arms and military spare parts to Egypt that was imposed after the Arab-Iraki war last October.
Meanwhile, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat indicated that he planned to reopen the Saeul Canal even if refugees refuse to pull its troops further back in the Sinai Peninsula.
However, Sadat said that Egypt would go to war if Israel does not give up all Arab lands it has
J. Thomas Rosch, director of the commission's Bureau of Consumer Protection, said an examination of the stores' books showed Gimbels to be the biggest apparent violator. He estimated Gimbels appropriated $1.1 million from customer over-payments in the past five years.
The FTC will now offer the stores an opportunity to negotiate settlements of the proposed complaints before going before a commission hearing.
Agree on captives
NICOSIA, Cyprus—Leaders of Greek and Turkish Cyprus agreed yesterday to free sick and wounded war prisoners as a prelude to a general release all of the prisoners in the recent fighting, according to the United Nations.
President Glacafos Clierides and Turkish vice president Raofu Denktash also agreed to free all prisoners under 18, teachers and university students.
The number of prisoners, detainees and hostages is still being compiled by the International Red Cross, which reported 5,666 known prisoners last week.
The date for the start of the prisoner release will be announced tomorrow after the next meeting between Denktash and Clerides.
Clerides and Denkastah, produced by U.N. Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim, U.N. secretary-general, agreed to meet every Friday to discuss the prisoner exchange. The meeting was a special one to discuss the prisoners.
Pardon support
ST. LOUIS—Had Gov. Ronald Reagan been
stored, he also would have pardoned former
president Ronald Nixon.
"Iagreed with President Ford's action, so I guess I would have," Reagan said.
"He has been punished in a way he'd have to live with the rest of his life," he said. "Just使命 must be fulfilled."
"Whether the goal of justice is punishment for fits whatever the alleged misdeed might be, I don't know how anyone could think there could be any wrong beyond that which he has undergone." Reagan said.

Labor leaders criticize Ford's inflation policies
From the Associated Press
Associated Press
WASHINGTON—The government's anti-
inflation programs were cut and
threaten to plunge the country into a severe
recession with high unemployment, labor
leaders told President Gerald R. Ford
yesterday.
At a white house preliminary session to the conference on inflation scheduled for Sept. 27 and 28, Ford announced he was considering a government job to ease unemployment.
Ford told the leader jobs he would hurry spending of $415 million in funds already authorized for jobs to be created in state and local governments.
A total of $1.3 billion will be available to a total of 64 governments for manpower programs.
Ford said his administration would watch unemployment, which is now about 5.4 per cent of the work force, and would "act with caution" if the percentage increased substantially.
"We will not permit the burden of necessary economic restraint to fall on those members of society least able to bear the costs." Ford said.
But George McLean, president of the AFLO, said that Ford's anti-inflation policies meant that Ford's anti-inflation policies
"We've been going downhill for five and a half years under the present economic policies we have right at this minute." Meany said. "We believe that budget cuts, high interest rates and tight money supply aren't going to work in today's inflation."
would worsen what he called the country's recession.
Meany complimented Ford for being willing to listen and urged "new thinking, new ideas and new directions" in government economic policies.
"Labor will join and co-operate in any program that is equitable," he said.
Ford, who met with the labor leaders for
nearly three hours, said he needed labor's advice on what to do about inflation.
He called for both labor and industry to exercise restraint in future wage and price
"We certainly can't be complacent about any American lacking work," he said.
He said he had prepared contingency plans that he would send to Congress if unemployment rose to "substantially higher levels."
The labor leaders were generally unanimous in calling for a reversal of the government's policy of tight money supplies, which have led to high interest rates.
