United Press International BEIRUT, Lebanon — Kuwait cut its daily oil production by 25 percent Tuesday and Libya indicated it will follow suit in moves aimed at con serving reserves but almost certain to help spur another round of oil price increases. The Kuwaiti Oil Ministry announced effective immediately the Persian Gulf nation was reducing production from 2 million to IV2 mil lion barrels a day. Kuwait sells its oil at an official $27.50 a barrel, although little of it goes to the United States. Kuwait also announced that under its new “take it or leave it” policy it had signed new contracts with its three major company customers, British Petroleum, Gulf and Royal Dutch Shell — cutting deliveries to them by 75 percent. In Bengasi, Libya, Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi threatened again to trim his nation’s oil production but said friendly countries would not be affected, the Beirut newspaper As Safir reported. Qaddafi did not give details of his intended cutback, but Western oil sources said Libya planned to trim oil prduction by 17 percent — from about 2.1 million to 1.75 million bar rels a day.

The enormous number of people to be cared for has caused difficulties in food production, employment, education, housing and mechaniza tion. Chen Muha, China’s woman vice premier and official spokesperson on family planning, said in August that China’s growing population has made it difficult to modernize the country and raise living standards. Chen estimated more than 30 per cent of China’s national income since the 1949 communist revolution has been spent on raising and educating children. With the addition of the “one is best” policy to existing measures, stricter government control of fami ly planning has come at last. Family planning now is written into the constitution. “China is going to encourage one birth for married couples and reso lutely check three births,” Chen said. Previously, the government said two births per couple was accept able. Many cities and local governments have now established family plan ning projects in line with the new policy. But the government does not be lieve propaganda alone is enough. Rewards and punishments are being established. Since November, Peking has re warded single-child couples and penalized those with more. ■ily beingfl - particuliT 1 industry 1 ! : md bleat* idnapped millionaire killed this y*-®.-' United Press International ( ^ C0 2’ PAPEETE — Police said Tuesday in 130,1 t}j e y found the body of kidnapped 'em infRllionaire Olivier Breaud, 26, and that three French residents of Tahiti udes Atfpjve confessed they clubbed him to e contradlath before demanding a $2.5 mil- resenti-Jjon ransom. expiresii*xbe body of Breaud, a French- [otorO m an, was found in a bush at 3,500 " l Punaauia, west of Papeete, after the re in Mi three suspects were arrested and been r-confessed Monday, police said. 1 origin^ Breaud’s body and head were muti- ye afterdated by beatings with clubs and an iron bar, police added, employ f embers, ^ the gen® was Bum A 1 1 ustrys Avalanche 0 chalMf “ »• kills three nd bralw United Press International yeenthej KATMANDU, Nepal — An ava- rly in ]atl an che on the 24,858-foot high Anna- sident ,W rna HI killed three climbers of the poo work® rst Australian national expedition to ■st betweff e P a l> the Tourism Ministry said ■s of cot Tu f s day.
