would increase the average resi
dence customer’s monthly bill by ab
out 17 cents in June and another 13
cents in October. The average busi
ness customer’s bill would go up ab
out $1.35 a month and $1.05 a month
more in October. Only long-distance
and overseas calls would be affected.
The two-step process apparently
would enable the company to comp
ly with President Carter’s voluntary
wage-price guidelines, which are
based on a fiscal year beginning Oct.
1.
AT&T Vice President James Bil
lingsley said the company has not
asked for a general interstate rate
change since 1976, when it got a 2
percent hike.
“We have held the line on general
rate changes for more than four
years,” he said. “That’s largely due to
our productivity increases which,
since 1970, have averaged more than
4 percent annually for the Bell Sys
tem compared to about 1 percent for
the private domestic economy as a
whole. But these productivity gains
alone can’t match double-digit infla
tion.”
Billingsley said the company must
raise more than $6 billion in new
capital in 1980 to finance a Bell Sys
tem construction program of $16.7
billion.

Hpbjals are looking at other possi-

some tax loopholes and possibly
changing the extent to which federal
benefit programs are adjusted for in

the administration it could cut $600

WOODSTOCK
CONDOMINIUMS
Anything less is just on oportment.
The Woodstock condominiums and why they make sense today.
The condominium is a time-tested great
idea. The Greeks and Romans used the
basic concept over 3,000 years ago.
Today, the Woodstock condominiums
are a beautiful example of the modern
alternate to apartment living.
Located on Highway 30, Woodstock
gives you direct access to Texas A&M
University, major shopping centers and
all sorts of recreation. Heavily wooded,
a wandering creek accents the land
scaped area.
Inside, you’ll find all the built-ins, a
fireplace, patio, balconies and a large
selection of professionally decorated
interiors to choose from, with optional
interiors that stretch the imagination.
Stop paying rent. The re-sale value of
your condominium should increase
dramatically in the next few years.
Rent is an expense - a Woodstock con
dominium is an investment.
Prices start at $42,750. Up to 95% fi
nancing is available to qualified buyers.

The proposed two-tier increase

Customers who do not call out-of-
state or overseas would not be

Inited Press International
WINAMAC, Ind. —The defense
rested its case in Ford Motor Co.’s
reckless homicide trial Tuesday after
successfully arguing several prosecu
tion rebuttal witnesses should not he
allowed to testify.
Ford attorney James Neal said the
prosecution was trying to repeat
issues brought up in the state’s ori
ginal case and should be allowed only
to answer or refute points brought
out during the defense case.
“What the defense is trying to do is
to get any particular issue just to the
posture they want and then cut off
any more evidence,” said Deputy
Prosecutor Bruce Berner.
Judge Harold Staffeldt ruled in
Ford’s favor in what he called “the
toughest decision of the trial so far. ”
He said the prosecution was trying
the case piecemeal, and should have
presented all its evidence the first
time around.
The prosecution would not im
mediately say how many rebuttal
witnesses it would be able to pre
sent. It did manage to question a
state trooper again about the acci
dent scene, and the distance debris
was hurled by the impact.
The state’s case suffered a blow
Monday when a nurse the prosecu
tion failed to question prior to the
trial for lack of manpower said the
driver of the Pinto told her the car
was stopped when it was struck.
Nancy Ellen Fogo, head nurse at
Elkhart General Hospital in 1978,
'said driver Judy Ulrich, 18, told her
the Pinto was stopped when a van
plowed into it.
lion cut in community development
programs.
In January, the president sent
Congress a budget of $615.8 billion
for 1981, projecting a $15.8 billion
deficit. If he succeeds in eliminating
that deficit, it would be the first fed
eral budget since 1969 not to show
red ink.
