Ford threatens '76 tax cut veto
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Gerald R. Ford lasted night to vote an election year tax cut if Congress sends him one without clamping a lid on federal spending.
Ford also said he didn't think it would be healthy for Washington to bail out any city that had irresponsibly handled its fiscal affairs over a long period.
Ford disclosed that he had cancelled a trip to Louvain ille next Thursday for reasons of presidential security and also because of the possibility of danger to others.
He said that there had been some turmoil in Louisville as a result of court-ordered, forced bunging to achieve racial balance in the city. Mr. Keller declared his own opposition to such bunging.
THE BUSING COVERTYSER has stirred demonstrations, and Ford said he had been advised to cancel the trip because of present circumstances in Louisville. Officials in Louisville said they expected large-scale anti-busining demonstrations.
During a nationally televised and broadcast news conference, the President said he was satisfied that he had a good manager and a good manager for his 1976 election bid.
Ford also said he wasn't going to move toward the political right in an effort to court conservatives who might otherwise win. The former California governor Ronald Reagan.
He said his record in the House and the
White House had been in the middle of the road.
"I intend to stay there," he said. "It's the area, where most Americans agree.
"THIS BASEN BEEN my record for 27 years in politics and I don't intend to deviate for any temporary political advantage," Ford said.
He said he had seen nothing so far that would lead him to give any answer but "no" to requests for aid for New York City, which faces the threat of defaulting on its bonds.
He said that he had heard of no congressional relief plans that would justify his approval, and that he had found no evidence for any legislation to bail out the city.
"I don't think it's a healthy thing for the federal government to bail out a city, and I mean any city, that has handled its fiscal load as time goes by, when time as long as New York City," Ford said.
FORD SAID HE HAD great sympathy for New Yorkers. He noted that Federal Reserve Board Chairman Arthur Burns has said he would favor federal aid if New York came up with a balanced city budget and with state guarantees that it would stay that
But Ford said if New York reached that point in solving its own problems it wouldn't be necessary for the federal government to get involved.
Dealing with his own 28 billion tax cut plan, Ford insisted he didn't aby from a
Soviet given Nobel prize
OSLO - Soviet dissident physicist Andrei Sakharov was awarded the 1975 Nobel prize yesterday, making him the second awarded Kremlin critic in the Soviet Union.
In 1970 te Nobel literature prize went to Alexander Sokhenitsyn, who has since been exiled from his country.
An earlier literature prize also displays to Soviet authorities was awarded to Bortis Pasternak in 1958. He was pressured into rejecting the prize and received the Cyrillic Prize.
Sakharov, the first Russian to receive the peace prize since it first was awarded in 1901, was cited for "personal and fearless effort of the cause of peace" and a call for greater unity.
The award, worth $140,000, was announced by the Norwegian parliament's Nobel Committee, which was understood to have discussed 50 candidates.
U.S. technicians okayed
WASHINGTON - The Senate passed last night a resolution that approved the stationing of 300 American technicians in the Sinai to monitor the Egyptian-Iraeli
The resolution, passed by the House 24 hours earlier, now goes to the White House where President Gerald R. Ford has been urging quick congressional action for more than a month to implement "a step toward peace" in the Middle East.
The vote was 70 to 18.
At his news conference last night, Ford again said that the American technicians sent to the Sinai would be civilians and would have no connection to the military.
Gas shortage predicted
TOPEKA-Kansas industries will need 400 million gallons of fuel to make up
to 54 billion cubic foot shortage of natural gas this winter, one of the state's energy
resources.
"In Kansas, the curtailment of natural gas supplies this winter will be concentrated on the large low-priority users, primarily industry and our electric generating plants," Robert J. Robel, Manhattan, chairman of the Governor's advisory Council on Energy and Natural Resources, said.
"Since these users will need to replace their normal supply of inexpensive natural gas energy with more expensive distillates and residuals, you can expect that, as a direct result of these curtailments, manufactured products and electricity will be more costly."
WASHINGTON—The Senate yesterday confirmed President Ford's nomination of Thomas S. Klepe to be interior secretary.
Kleppe gets Interior job
By a voice vote, the Senate gave its approval to the 56-year-old millionaire and former North Dakota congressman for the $60,000-a-year Cabinet pocket.
He will succeed Stanley K. Hathaway, the former Wyoming governor who resigned last July after slightly more than a month on the job.
Kleppen has been administrator of the Small Business Administration since 1971. He represented North Dakota for two terms in Congress in the late 1980s and twice in the early 1990s.
politically unpopular election-year veto of the legislation without a ceiling on spending
the tremendous growth in federal spending. With no new laws, he said, the increase in federal spending next year would be $50 billion.
"I have said with great emphasis that the American people want a $28 billion tax cut and a $28 billion reduction in the growth of federal expenditures," he said.

Ford also scoffed at congressional complaints about his call for a combined tax cut and spending ceiling. He said Congress should be able to figure out a way to do it. It would also allow the imagination to accomplish that, he said, changes should be made on Capitol Hill.
Ford said his tax cut plan, tied to spending limits, wasn't aimed at affecting the national economy. The set of tax reductions now in effect on a one-year basis was applied to those taxes and the recessional-plagued economy moving toward a planned plan would replace these and expand them.
"I absolutely, without any equivocation, that if the Congress plays politics on sending me a letter to President Obama without a responsible restraint on federal spending, I wouldn't hesitate to veto it," she said.
THE PRESIDENT DISMISSED criticism that his tax program would be inflationary. He said he made his proposal to provide a meaningful tax cut and to get a handle on
Democratic congressional leaders have complained that Ford wants the tax cut and spending limit approved before he submits an immigration budget for the period involved.
The President said that had been done before.
In 1968, Congress passed President Lyndon B. Johnson's proposal for a 10 per cent income tax surtax, coupled with a spending ceiling for the new fiscal year for which Johnson had submitted a budget four months earlier.
Karami calls Arafat trip attempt to restore peace
BEIRUT—With law and order toterning on the edge of collapse in Lebanon, Premier Rashid Karami announced yesterday that Palestinian guerrilla chiefi cheaft Aiyar Arafat was coming to Beirut "to do his best" to help restore peace.
He made it clear there was still no question of resorting to the 18,000-man Lebanese army, which has stayed on the sidelines so far.
Karami made the announcement after he returned from a one-day trip to Damascus for meetings with Arafat, who is the chairman of the Palestine Liberation Army, Syrian President Hafez Assad and Foreign Minister Abdul Khalm Khaddam.
He said he sensed in Syria "un-
derestraint and suffering, to help me
capture the situation.
As he spoke, Beirut radio continued to report more shootings, more explosions and more battles between Christians and Moslems—some involving Palestinian guerrillas—raging unchecked across the battered capital.
After briefing President Suleman Franjieh on his talks in Damascus, Karami said he had agreed with Arafat 'to steps and measures for the restoration of stability.
Moslems say the Lebanese army is dominated by Christian officers. Officials fear that bringing troops in would spark open civil war.
The largest and most moderate guerrilla groups, including Arafat's Al Fatah and the Syrian-backed Saiqa, publicly profess neutrality and have joined Lebanese street patrols. However, increasing numbers of guerrillas have been seen participating in Beirut street battles on the side of the Moslems.
The guerrillas, armed heavily in recent years by Syria, Iraq, Libya and other Arab oil states, provide most of the firepower for the armed gangs of Moslem leftists.
the alliance of Moslems and Palestinians stems from a common religion and a common resentment of the Lebanese Christians, who constitute less than half the population of Lebanon but dominate the country's economy, politics and military.
