The inflation report also helped determine how much American tax payers will save next year under the new personal income tax indexing system, designed to keep inflation alone from forcing people to pay higher rates. On average, taxpayers whose 1985 income rises less than 4.08 per cent will get a tax cut. The savings, however, will vary according to tax bracket. The price report was the last ma jor economic statistic to be issued by the Labor Department before the Nov. 6 presidential election and did not hold any bad news for President Reagan. Although gasoline prices rose a substantial 1.1 percent in Septem ber, after three monthly declines, the overall report continued the moderate inflation trend of the last three years. Gasoline prices are not expected to keep climbing, and if oil price cuts hold on the international market the year’s inflation rate could end up to be only 4 percent, several analysts said. The Gonsumer Price Index for September was 314.5, meaning^he government’s sample “market bas ket” of goods and services that cost $ 100 in 1967 now costs $314.50. Inflation through September is running at a 4.2 percent annual rate, whether figured for the nine months since Jan. 1 or the 12 months since last October. The 1983 rate was 3.8 percent. Food prices dropped 0.1 percent in September, the first decline since May. Prices were down for beef and pork. Egg prices dropped for the fifth month and vegetables and processed fruits also dipped. The Social Security increase, trig gered by inflation, will add $15 a month beginning in January to the check of a typical retired worker now getting $434. A retired couple now getting $750 will receive an ad ditional $26. U.S. aids Mexico through trading United Press International EL PASO - The United States has made a sizeable contribution to the economic recovery of Mex ico, U.S. Ambassador John Gavin said Wednesday. Speaking to a group of busi ness leaders at a Republican fundraiser luncheon, Gavin said Mexico’s inflation rate has been reduced from 80 percent to 45-50 percent in the past year and the nation’s gross national product will show an increase of between 1.5 percent to 2 percent. The United States, he said, through trade, has “made a siz able contribution” to the recovery of Mexico, undergoing its worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. Gavin said Mexico ranks third as a trading partner with the United States. He said 33 percent of the nation’s oil reserves are purchased from Mexico. American imports of shoes, copper and steels are examples of Mexican products purchased from Mexico by the United States, he said. The controversial ambassador, who has come under fire from el ements of the Mexican press for what they call interference in Mexico’s internal political affairs, took issue with the politics of the governor of New Mexico. Gavin said Gov. Toney Anaya, in a recent visit to Mexico City, called President Reagan “the most anti-Hispanic president in U.S. history.” “President Reagan has ap pointed many Hispanic Ameri cans to positions of responsibil ity,” Gavin said. “You’re looking at one of them.” Gavin said he resented Anaya’s remarks in Mexico City. He said the governor’s comments were made in a foreign country for consumption in the United States. The ambassador, who paid courtesy visits Tuesday on the Juarez and Chihuahua City may ors, as well as the governor, den ied he had ever meddled in the internal politics of Mexico. A Juarez daily, however, said Gavin dined with Chihuahua City millionaire Eloy Vallina, the per son who reputedly bankrolled the recent successful political cam paigns of the conservative Na tional Action Party (PAN). PAN now controls about 75 percent of the population of the state of Chihuahua. Texas drenched; too late for crops United Press International COLLEGE STATION — Many parts of Texas got drenched this past week as wet weather blanketed the state, bringing an abrupt end to dry conditions that had plagued much of the state for more than a year. Although too late to help this year’s crops, the rains will give a big boost to small grains planted for fall and winter grazing, reported the Texas Agricultural Extension Serv ice at Texas A&M. Also, some additional hay cuttings will be made if open weather re turns. That would help considerably since the drought left hay supplies short. The rains also provided enough runoff in many areas to fill stock ponds that had dried up this sum mer, the Extension Service said. The recent rains also have slowed cattle culling and livestock market ing and have boosted market prices a bit. The feeder cattle prices are up some due to improved small grain grazing prospects. Pastures and ranges have started to green up although the time for grass growth is short with the winter season approaching. However, with additional rains this fall and winter, forage growth should get off to a good start next spring, the Exten sion Service said. While most producers were glad to see the rains, the wet weather put a damper on harvest operations. Soybeans, peanuts, grain sorghum and sweet potatoes remain to be har vested in northeastern counties while peanuts are still to be har vested in central areas. Also, corn, grain sorghum, cotton and sugar beets remain to be har vested in the Panhandle and South Plains while cotton harvesting re mains a major activity in the Rolling Plains, West Central and Far West Texas. Pecan harvesting is under way in southern, coastal, central and east ern areas, noted the Extension Serv ice. Crop yields and quality are gen erally below normal due to the dry growing season. Cancer clinic leads to three indictments United Press International BROWNSVILLE — Several sealed indictments have been re turned by a federal grand jury in connection with an allegedly fraudu lent cancer clinic that operated on the border, an FBI spokesman con firmed Wednesday. FBI spokesman Bill Dalseg of San Antonio confirmed that three per sons named in the indictments were arrested in Salt Lake City, Utah. Maxine Lowder, Eldon Lower and Donald Zimmerman were taken before a federal magistrate in Salt Lake City Wednesday afternoon for arraignment on conspiracy and mail fraud charges, Dalseg said. The government recommended $50,000 bonds each for the three. Dalseg would not reveal how many other suspects were being sought. 1 he cancer clinic in question oper ated across the Rio Grande in Mat- amoros, Mexico, until last December when The Brownsville Herald staked it out and wrote a front page article about the operation and Mex ican officials closed it. Last January, Texas Attorney General Jim Mattox filed a civil suit and state authorities ‘ raided a Brownsville apartment complex and confiscated equipment that allegedly had been used in the clinic. Subsequently a Cameron County grand jury indicted the clinic’s main operator, Jimmy Keller, who pre viously ran a similar operation that was shut down in Baton Rouge, La., on organized criminal activity charges. Also indicted by the state were David Keller, Ron Keller, Bar bara Masse, and Dr. Hector Gri- maldo Saenz of Mexico.
