Page 4 THE BATTALION TUESDAY, MARCH 25, 1975 News briefs International Israeli Premier Yitzhak Rabin said Monday the Mideast situation had worsened with the breakdown of Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger s peace mission. He accused Arab news media of making war threats. At the same time. President Ford ordered “a total reas sessment” which could result in reduced U.S. aid to Israel. Rabin said in a policy statement to the Israeli parliament: “There is no point in trying to strike fear into us. Israel is aware of the dangers, it is ready, and it has the strength it needs. ” SAIGON, South Vietnam (AP) — Communist-led tanks and troops cut off the northern quarter of South Vietnam on Monday and isolated Da Nang, where U.S. Marines first landed 10 years ago. The developments brought renewed calls for President Nguyen Van Thieu to quit. The Communist-led advance meant the fall of the 10th and 11th of South Vietnam’s 44 provinces and put under North Vietnamese and Viet Cong control about 40 percent of the country’s 66,000-square-mile territory and 15 percent of its two million population. Compromise on tax cut bill fails National WASHINGTON (AP) — The annual retail cost of a farm- produced food market basket rose $7 to a record of $1,830 in February, but the gain was the smallest in four months, the Agriculture Department said Monday. All of the increase — up four-tenths of 1 percent from January — was attributed to higher middleman charges for transporting, processing and selling food. Those charges rose $8 on an annual basis while returns to farmers dropped $1 from January. WASHINGTON (AP) — The Interior Department took its first official step Monday to bring oil and gas development to the Atlantic coast, inviting tract nominations off the mid- Atlantic. Interior asked the oil industry to propose specific tracts for leasing to private companies, off the sandy beaches of New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina. Such leasing would allow oil drilling for the first time in the Atlantic Ocean opposite some of the nation’s most popular beach resorts. State AUSTIN (AP) — Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, D-Tex, said Mon day that supporters of other possible presidential candidates in 1976 are fighting the presidential primary bill in the Texas Legislature. “Misinformation has caused most of the trouble,” Bentsen told a news conference. “There should have been more prep aration. I don’t believe the backers of the bill anticipated the supporters of other candidates would make such strong attacks on the bill.” Silent meditation bill tentatively approved AUSTIN (AP) — A silent prayer or meditation bill, denounced by opponents as meaningless, was ten tatively approved by the Texas House Monday, 112-24. A final vote is expected Tuesday. House members also passed and sent to the governor a bill reserving for Texas use the natural gas from future oil and gas leases of state- owned land. Rep. Tony Polumbo, D-Houston, sponsor of the school prayer bill re peatedly denied that it would im pose a religious exercise on school children. “I would say this bill is a religious bill if you in your own mind at that moment choose to think of it as that,” Polumbo said. The bill says the person in charge of a classroom “may conduct a brief period of silent prayer or meditation with the participation of all consent ing pupils therein assembled.” Polumbo accepted an amendment by Rep. Jim Mattox, D-Dallas, pro hibiting disciplinary action against children who do not participate but use the time for such quiet activities as reading. But he refused to take an amendment protecting teachers from possible retaliation if they choose not to hold such exercises. “It’s time to quit demagoguing on these issues,” declared Mattox, a Baptist. “We ought to be ashamed of our selves, wasting the taxpayers’ time on a bill like this. This bill does abso lutely nothing. We might as well spend an hour and a half of our time saying people have the right to go to church on Sunday if they want to do so,” said Rep. Andrew Baker, D-Galveston, a former school board member. WASHINGTON (AP) — Work ing under a self-imposed news blackout, Senate-House conferees met for eight hours Monday in an unsuccessful effort to write a com promise tax cut bill. At the end of the session, key members left quietly by a side door after instructing staff aides and other members of the conference not to discuss the deliberations with reporters. But one member, Sen. Floyd Haskell, D-Colo., ignored the blackout and told reporters the con ference agreed tentatively on the Senate version of a special tax re fund for the working poor. Under this provision, families making under $8,000 a year would be eligible for a tax credit up to $400 on their income, even if they paid no income tax at all. The effect would be to refund the Social Sec urity taxes paid by families too poor to pay income taxes. After a brief morning session, Rep. Al Ullman, D-Ore., chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee and head of the tax cut conference, said he opposes open ing the meeting to the public on grounds this would delay action on the bill. Although he generally favors open sessions, Ullman said, the tax cut bill is too important to be de layed. Sen. Russell B. Long, D-La., chairman of the Senate Finance Committee and leader of the Senate I delegation to the conference, said j he would support Ullman if the lat- J ter wants to open the session to re porters. An hour after the afternoon ses sion ended, Ullman issued a state ment through aides saying: “No pos itions were finalized, but a great deal of time was spent in under standing the different points of view of the conferees and in exploring various alternatives. Treasury Secretary William E. Simon spent most of the day with the conferees and reportedly said that if the tax cut is as large as the Senate passed, he thinks President Ford will veto it. Ford recommended a $16.2 bill ion tax reduction to stimulate the economy. The House approved a cut of $19.8 billion but the Senate expanded the bill to $34.3 billion. The new figures were disclosed Monday after weekend computa tions by congressional tax experts. If the revenue gains coming from House and Senate votes to repeal the oil depletion allowance and tax breaks for foreign income are consi dered, the net total of the House bill would be $17.6 billion, while the Senate figure would be $30.6 bill ion. Ullman said earlier in the day that House conferees were opposing Se nate provisions to provide special tax breaks to working parents who hire babysitters and to persons who buy new homes this year.

At the insistence of Sen. Russell B. Long D-La., chairman of the Fi nance Committee, the Senate ap proved a 5 percent tax credit, on the price of houses, up to $2,000 for persons whd buy new homes be tween March 13 and Dec. 31 this year. The provision, aimed at stimulat ing the depressed housing industry, would cost $1 billion. Ullman has stated publicly his opposition to this tax credit, and he and his fellow House conferees voted to reject the Senate position. The Senate delegation was just as solid in the other direction. The same split developed over a Senate provision that would provide a tax credit up to $600 a year for parents who have to hire babysitters in order to keep their jobs. This would cost an estimated $1.7 billion a year. Ullman and Long agreed that the thorny issue of the oil depletion al lowance should be the final question decided by the conferees. The House has voted to repeal the depletion allowance outright for all oil and gas producers. The Se nate agreed that the allowance, which allows a producer to avoid taxation on 22 percent of oil income, should be eliminated for the major companies but approved a perma nent allowance for independent companies under certain condi tions. Although the Ways and Med and Finance committeesdraftedi original tax-cut bills in openss sions, the conference which willde termine the final version oftli measure is being conductedbeW closed doors. At the end of the morning ses' sion, Ullman indicated the confer ence should remain closed because Congress is under great pressnreli approve the tax cut before it an Easter recess this week.
