In September, price increases were generally smaller across the board than in recent months.
Hua's position confirmed
TOKYO—Pekin's official radio confirmed today that Hua Kuo-feng is the new minister committee chairman, replacing the Mao Tse-tse. It also said Pekin will accept the role of the chief executive.
The confirmation was made by the official Hainhua news agency in a Chinese-language broadcast monitored in Tokyo.

The agency referred to Hua as party chairman for the first time in a broadcast that also reported demonstrations by one and a half million people in the Chinese countryside.
Trial reset in Bolles case
PHOENIX, Ariz.—A mistrial was declared yesterday in the trial of John Harvey Adamson, charged with murdering reporter Don Bolles, after both sides blamed the county attorney for ruining the chances of a fair trial with prejudicial publicity. Shortly after the mistrial was announced, Ariz. Gov. Raul Castro placed the case
Superior Court Judge Frederic Heineman, said publicity surrounding Bolles' laying had made it difficult to find an impartial jury. He said he didn't hold Mollison liable.
He said Adamson's trial would be rescheduled before Dec. 20. He refused a defense motion to move the trial to another county.
Adamson, a 32-year-old dog breeder, is charged with the bombing of Bolles, 47, the Arizona Republic's top investigator.
Ferry crash unexplained
LULING, LA - Misunderstanding, poor communication or equipment failure could have led to the grinding crash of a tanker and a Mississippi River ferry that may have killed up to 75 early Wednesday morning commuters, a Coast Guard official said yesterday.
Most of the victims were still hidden in the river's muddy waters as 10 Coast Guard investigators surveyed the scene. They want to know why the Norwegian man hid them.
Nobody knows for sure how many were aboard the 128-foot ferry when itCAPSED. State police said 22 bodies were recovered and a list of 53 missing was compiled from family inquiries, unclaimed cars in parking lots and personal effects found in the debris.
Truce has some success
BEIHUT—War-battled nation yesterday settled into its 57th ceasefire attempt in 18 months, successfully in some places but with skilful results in others.
Hospitals and militia officers reported seven killed and eight wounded after the 11 p.m. CDT Wednesday cease-fire. Between six and 12 others were reported killed by a roadside bomb near Hoboken.
The low toll provided the best measure for the relative success of the truce despite the continued spurred shelling along the rubble-strewn front line that cuts across the city.
Roy advises Carter
By JERRY SEIB
It's no secret that one of Jimmy Carter's strongest supporters in Kansas is Bill Roy. His wife, Gloria, was a supporter.
What isn't so well known is that Roy also has been a frequent adviser to the national government.
"I've provided some advice in the area of health care policies," Roy said in an interview before his speech at the Kansas Union last night. "I don't think I'm in a position to know how much of that advice has been accepted and how much hasn't been accepted."
Most of Roy's advice has been given through correspondence from Topeka. He has traveled to Plains, Ga., Carter's camp, and Montana's campaign, but Roy terred that a "social visit."
One of the primary areas on which Carter has consulted Roy is a national health program. Roy said that, although Carter was not fully realized the problems of such a program.
"I would think this would be something we'd have to wait on," Roy said. "He's said nationally that we'd have to wait until we could afford it.
"It's my best judgment that it would be '81 or 82 until we could implement it. The legislation for the insurance, of course, could be implemented before then."
ROY HAS voluntarily crisscrossed the
state speaking on behalf of Carter. And Roy said his talks with Carter sometimes involve a lot of arguing.
Carter's chances aren't great, Roy admits.
Roy has made one out-of-state speech for the Carter campaign—at a medical meeting in Dallas. He has made his own business trips to many Midwestern states during the campaign, however, and he said Carter's chances were good in most of those states:
"He's certainly got some chance in the state," Roy said. "Certainly he couldn't be confused."
"We've discussed Kannas in a sentence or two," he said. "You know, how things in Kenya are."
"First of all, I don't think Mr. Carter is making any Cabinette selections before the election," he said. "The list of candidates in office is long enough, I'm sure I'll be on it."
One topic of discussion in state political circles in past weeks has been the possibility that Roy might be named secretary of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare if Carter is elected. It would be curious when discussing the possibility.
Jimmy Carter and President Gerald Ford poked fun at each other and at themselves as they spoke to the same group in New York, but they didn't hear each other's jokes.
AND WOULD Roy accept the job?
"I would go back to Washington. If I
thought I had a job I could I would
make some kind of money." And did
"Otherwise, I'd rather live in Kansas."
Ford spoke first at the annual Al Smith Dinner in New York City, and he left the flower-strew ballroom about 20 minutes before Carter arrived.

AND WOULD Roy accept the job?
By The Associated Press
Both candidates flew to New York especially for the dinner. Ford returned immediately to Washington and Carter was heading for Williamsburg, Va., where the
third and final presidential debate is scheduled at 8:30 tonight.
Earlier in the day, Carter has complained that his mornals were impugned in adversity.
Ford courted senior citizens and East Europeans.
Both candidates made light speeches with political overtones in their appearances at the Al Smith Dinner, which honors the 1928 presidential nominee who lost to Herbert B. Hoover and won $100 each to attend the dinner; funds were ear-marked for Catholic charities.
