Cuba talks may resume
WASHINGTON—The Carter administration is considering the assignment of American diplomatic in Cuba for the first time since the 1961 break in relations with China.
At the same time, sources said that U.S.-Cuban maritime talks would be resurrected shortly in Havana with Tercera Todman, the assistant secretary of state on Cuban affairs.
Todman would be the highest-ranked American diplomat to go to Cuba since the United States broke with the Castro regime.
These developments suggest acceleration toward the restoration of relations with Cubs after a break of more than 16 years. However, one official here said, "We need to put our minds on it."
Namibia to get $100 million
WASHINGTON—the Carter administration has decided to set up a $10 million contingency fund to ease a transition to an independent Namibia once the匪伯瑜政府支持。
John Gilligan, the new administrator of the Agency for International Development, will announce the action in testimony to Congress today, the sources said. The fund is designed to assist white landowners who sell to blacks as well as give economic support to a black-run Namibian government once it is formed.

WASHINGTON—Consumer prices rose at a slower pace in March during the first two months of the year, easing concern about accelerating inflation, the
The department said that consumer prices rose six-tenths of 1 per cent last month, down from increases of 1 per cent in February and eight-tenths of 1 per cent.
Big price increases were recorded for coffee-up 7 per cent in March and for frozen juice-up 11.6 per cent.

But Carter administration economists said the first quarter increase was expected due to the impact of the severe winter weather on food and fuel prices.
White House official says gas tax poses a challenge for Americans
WASHINGTON (AP) - Administration officials began the process of convincing the public and a hostile Congress yesterday to support a program that would enough energy program was good for them.
White House press secretary Jody Powell said Carter recognized that his proposed standby gasoline tax alone wouldn't provide energy constraints.
To cut consumption would require a tax that would be too high economically or behaviorally.
The purpose of the tax, which would rise
by yearly increments of five cents a gallon if gasoline consumption exceeds specified targets to a maximum of 50 cents a gallon, is to pose a challenge. he said.
It's designed to "enforce our commitment to our goals with a small penalty and to, in a sense, pose a challenge to ourselves as a society to meet those goals." Powell said.
The administration, he said, thought that the American people would respond to the goals and therefore wouldn't impose on themselves this small penalty.
"It would certainly be our hope that it would not be impolled." Powell said.

In their reported sweep towards Mussolini, which couldn't be confirmed, they were also accused of being "suspects."
Moroccan troops were said to have seized 6,000 boxes of Soviet-mad arms left behind
"All along the railroad line and along the roads," a military communique said, "the fleeing invaders are shedding their uniforms and forcing the local citizens to give them their clothes as they seek an escape route."
All the arms found reportedly are of Soviet manufacture. They include 50-caliber machine guns, rockets, flamethrowers, explosives and grenades which, according to the communique, "form the stockpile of an entire brigade."
