Commissioner of Labor Statis tics Janet Norwood told reporters the price index will reflect a new type of housing price measure ment beginning in January 1983, at least tw'o years earlier than ori ginally planned. Another measure, which will continue present methods of cal culation until 1985, will be avail able for labor contracts pegged to the CPI beyond 1983, she said. The index also is used to set the annual cost-of-living increase for Social Security recipients. The Labor Department had planned to revise the index by 1985 or 1986, and top department officials as recently as five weeks ago had insisted the schedule would not be moved up. Norwood said the indexing pro vision of the new tax law, which takes effect in 1985 and uses the index to determine tax brackets, has forced the revision to be made sooner than planned. She said a congressional report has esti mated the indexing will cut feder al revenues by nearly $13 billion. She said the CPI does not now reflect changes in mortgage financing and variable rates of mortgage loans, as well as so- called creative financing, which makes the actual costs of home ownership lower than the Labor Department’s figures show. The change will treat housing costs in their entirety as a rental equivalence measure — in effect replacing the volatile mortgage in terest rate component that has drawn increasing criticism in re cent years, she said. r 8 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOQOO CAMPUS THEATRE § 846-6512 JSow Showing! * 7:15 opped round or the iys ng ia! ■onstitu- ! revolu- ted by remove taineda urt has Jlourt of ition of •ancisco his leg against . of the eight to a feder- ort told ningoff ie easy in New a flight when: m as i ostages to try again ith U.S., Iran suit United Press International OS ANGELES — Thirteen er American hostages vowed ipeal the dismissal of their $5 on federal suit against the mments of Iran and the Un- States, saying $12.50-a-day is nough compensation for their day ordeal. .S. District Court Judge Wil- Gray granted a U.S. govern- t motion and dismissed the Monday, ruling President er was within his executive ority when he reached an ment in January with Iran to the hostages. ostages’attorney James Davis the U.S. Supreme Court in July that a settlement in commercial cases filed after akeoverin Iran was valid, but i not rule on the hostages. Weface this as the first step in ourney,” Davis said following fs ruling. Davis said the deci- would be appealed. The agreement was within the utive authority of his (Car- Judge Gray said. “It may lave been wise, hut he wanted to get them (the hostages) home.” The initial part of the plaintiffs’ case, argued Monday, was to see if they would be permitted to sue the governments of Iran and the United States for $5 million. Davis filed the original suit last Feburary on behalf of hostage John D. McKeel Jr., and now rep resents a dozen other hostages who have since joined the action. He said the case involves consti tutional issues and he would pre sent the argument “that an indi vidual has the right to bring action against a sovereign state.” The issues, Davis said, include whether the hostages had a case against Iran at the time of their imprisonment, whether the pres idential agreement with Iran is valid pertaining to the hostages and whether there was a taking of valuable property rights. The president doesn’t have the power to overrule the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution providing that “no persons shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law,” Davis said. Most of the 13 hostages were with Davis when he entered the court Monday. In addition to McKeel, other’ hostages taking part in the suit in clude Billy Gallegos, William B. Royer Jr., Donald A. Sharer, Le- land Holland, David Roeder, Re gis Ragan, Paul Needham, Duane Gillette, Alan B. Golacinski, Mal colm Kalp, Charles Jones Jr. and Charles Wesley Scott. Scott’s wife, Elizabeth, has also joined in the action. OPEN TODAY 7:00 MERYL STREEP JEREMY IRONS “The French Lieutenant’s Woman’’ ® TODAY 7:20 9:45 Esnnnir 84M714 CORNER OF UN1V.
