W TEXAS 846-6933 THE BATTALION Page 5 WEDNESDAY, JAN. 21, 1976 Woman “shakes” as earthquakes close in Associated Press WICHITA FALLS — Clarissa Bernhardt gets those “shake, rattle and roll” feelings once in a while but that doesn’t mean she wants to dance. It’s just her way of telling when an earthquake will occur. I’m glad no one was hurt, ” she said Tuesday of her successful and most recent prediction. Mrs. Bernhardt was in North Carolina earlier this month when she predicted a quake would shake, rat tle and roll through the Wilmington, N.C., area on or about Jan. 17, “give or take a few days.” An unusual earthquake felt in North Carolina did ripple along the Kentucky-Tennessee border early Monday. “I may have been concentrating on too many things at once, she said. “But the earthquake partially fulfilled my prediction ... it fitted into the time period of my forecast. And she was off only 500 miles, which some say makes her predic tion nonetheless phenomenal. “I wasn’t really surprised it hap pened,” she said. “Of course, the main thing is to be happy no one was hurt. ” Mrs. Bernhardt and her husband, Russ, are natives of Los Gatos, Calif., but are living temporarily in Wichita Falls. She has been a stu dent of metaphysics for the past 10 years but “it’s only been since last March that I have really been public about my predictions. I publicly predicted a woman in a red coat would attempt to assassinate Presi dent Ford. I also predicted the time of Patty Hearst’s capture and the place.” Mrs. Bernhardt’s husband said she told him privately in 1972 that Los Angeles would be rocked soon by an earthquake. “I put away all our antique china and the like,” he said. “Three days later the thing hit. Our neighbors had cracked dishes and windows and things.” Mrs. Bernhardt said, “I don’t want to be a prophet of doom and gloom. But I want to zero in on natural phenomena like earthquakes. I am especially interested in preventive predictions . . . putting ESP ex trasensory perception into practical use ... to apply metaphysical prin ciples and be of some help to the scientific community. ” She said her ability to predict ear thquakes is something like tuning a radio. “The radio waves are still there after you turn it off,” she said. “It’s just that you’re not tuned in to them. I tune into things, though. It’s like a person who senses in his. bones that a weather change is com ing.” Mrs. Bernhardt said she was “exhausted from her recent experi ence in predicting the earthquake in the eastern United States but she did make an effort to predict outcome of the National Football League Super Bowl. “Oh, I predicted the Steelers, all right but I kept getting the figure 12 rather than 21. I just had the num bers reversed.” Sustained growth expected Budget not a ‘quick fix’ Associated Press WASHINGTON — Here are highlights of President Ford’s budget for the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1: TOTAL AND DEFICIT — The federal government would spend $394 billion, an increase of $21 bil lion from the current budget year. The deficit would total $43 billion — but that would be a drop of nearly half from the estimated deficit of $76 billion in the current year. PHILOSOPHY — The tax and spending changes Ford proposes would, he believes, lead to a bal anced budget within three years while improving chances for the economy to get onto a sustained growth path. But “this is not a policy of the quick fix; it does not hold out the hollow promise that we can wipe out inflation and unemployment overnight. ” The growth rate in fed eral spending would be cut to less than half the average annual growth rate of the past decade.

One key provision would increase the per sonal tax exemption from $750 to $1,000 a year. Corporate taxes woidd also be trimmed, but Social Security taxes, paid by both employes and employers, would be increased. DEFENSE — Spending would increase from $92.7 billion to $101.1 billion based on what Ford called “a careful assessment of the interna tional situation and the contingen cies we must be prepared to meet. ” More than half the increase is for procurement of hardware, and re search and development. Personnel would be slightly reduced. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS — Foreign aid would drop from $6.6 billion to $5 billion, principally due to a large reduction in emergency security assistance of Israel and the end of aid to Vietnam. However a foreign military credit sales program totaling $2.1 billion would be sub stantially earmarked for Israel. SOCIAL PROGRAMS — Block grants in four areas would replace 59 separate grant programs covering as sistance for health, education, feed ing of needy children and commu nity social service programs for the needy. Temporary unemployment assistance would be continued through calendar' 1976, then phased out during the first nine months of 1977 “as the economy continues to improve.” ENERGY — An Energy Inde pendence Assistance Authority would be established to provide loans, guarantees and other help for private sector energy projects. About $650 million in spending is planned for fiscal 1977, but $83 bil lion is sought in spending authority for subsequent years.
