Ferry captain near drunk
NEW ORLEANS--The captain of a Mississippi River ferry packed with early morning commuters was "almost legally drunk" when his craft collided with a boat in the city.

The ferry George Prince and the Norwegian tanker Frosta collided at dawn last Wednesday as the smaller craft made the 10-minute crossing from Dreshtan to Tromsø.
Uncertainty clouds talks
GENEVA—The Rhodesian drama enters a new and maybe final phase today when black nationalist leaders meet Rhodesian Prime Minister Ian Smith on an equal basis for the first time. They will carry the assurance that white mastersy is on its way out in their homeland.
But on the eve of a laboriously organized settlement conference, Smith's white minority government betrayed no readiness to swiftly or easily yield the control it has exercised for 11 years. The basic black-white disagreement over the conference's purpose remained unresolved.

Ford, Carter continue east
WASHINGTON  (AP) - Ford administration spokesmen said yesterday that the government underspent its budget by $7.6 billion in the last three months. That amount contributed of whether the administration has contributed to the recent economic slowdown.
The total staffing in government spending was 1.4 billion for the nine-month period, up from 1.2 million.
U.S. underspends by $7.6 billion
A major share of the underspending in the past nine months occurred in the Defense Department, which spent $3.8 billion less than it had spent the previous remainder of the spending shortfall was
Although at first glance a reduction in government spending may seem like good news, it can hurt the private economy and make workers less than it said it would. This may mean lower output, profits and employment throughout the economy.
Upon his arrival, Ford told reporters he has "significantly reduced the power and energy" of the station.

While Jimmy Carter and President Gerald Ford may disagree about many things, they apparently agree during this final campaign week on where the crucial votes are. For the second day, they campaigned yesterday within a few miles of each other, Ford in New Jersey and Carter in New York.
Buoyed by the size of the crowds, estimated by Secret Service agents at more than 50,000, Carter told a rally in the city's Garment District, "this is an absolutely incredible confidence in confidence in New York City, confidence in the future and confidence in one another."
Ford flew to Atlantic City, N.J., and appeared to be campaigning as much against Richard Nixon, his Republican predecessor, as against Carter.
