4 Thursday, Jfinuary 27, 1966 die iHaufnrb rntiuct Business, Labor Warned Of Possible Tax Increase Bald Eagle Is Facing Extinction government ordered defense contractors and highway builders to shift their orders to firms still hold the price line. Johnson urged Congress to increase the minimum wage but again said the increase should be within the guideposts. And without committing himself to a raise for federal workers, he said government pay increases should also be kept no higher than 3.2 per cent. With responsible action by government, business and labor, he said, the nation can maintain full employment and avoid inflation, and do so without arbitrary controls. higher taxes ar.d-or higher interest rates.

Johnson said surplus federal stockpiles would be used to prevent unnecessary shortages. The government already has unloaded aluminum, copper and wheat from its stockpiles in order to hold down prices of those commodities. Adjust Procurements Defense procurement, farm and other policies will be adjusted where necessary to help keep prices under control, Johnson said. Earlier this month, after seme steel companies announced price hikes, the The Rainmaker WASHINGTON (UPI) -When the Congress of 1782 passed an act making the bald eagle America's national bird, little did they realize that the bird would face extinction in a country abundant with wildlife. Now, 184 years later, the bald eagle is so scarce that a concerned Interior Secretary Stewart L.

Udall Wednesday ordered new protective steps for the august birds. Udall ordered that bald eagle resting sites on national wildlife refuges be closed off to protect the bird during the mating season. He also ordered that timber cutting operations not be permitted within one-half mile of trees containing bald eagle nests. In cases where trees with nests are in danger of being blown down, the trees are to be stabilized, wherever possible, the order said. Plans Long-range plans call for Including nesting areas in designated natural areas to prevent further disturbance of its cover, according to Udalls directive.

One reason for the decreasing number of bald eagles is that hunters are illegally shooting the birds even though they are protected by federal and some state laws. A survey in 1963 in the southeastern states showed 230 active nests. However, young were born in only 96 nests, with an estimated total of 144 fledglings. The total U.S. population has been estimated at 5,000 birds, Udall said.

By JOHN PIERSON WASHINGTON (UPI) -President Johnson warned business and labor today that he might have to ask for higher taxes to head off inflation unless they hold down prices and wages. Johnson raised the go-slow signal in his annual economic report 4o Congress, which also disclosed that the administration had abandoned its normal way of figuring wage-price guideposts in a bid to keep the economy from overheating. The iatter move risked the open wrath of organized labor, which was an important factor in Johnsons 1964 presidential election victory. But he said the "most serious economic challenge facing the nation today is how to prevent inflation in face of the Viet Nam buildup.

In support of his analysis, he predicted that unemployment will drop below 4 per cent this year, lowest since 1953, while the nations shops, farms and factories will turn out a record $722 billion worth of goods and services. Time For Restraint He went on to say that the unprecedented five-year business boom had brought Americans prosperity far beyond the dreams of any people, anywhere, anytime. But now with the war in Viet Nam hanging ominously on the horizon, he said, it is time for restraint. For the third time in recent weeks, he called for passage of his plan to curb private spending by speeding up individual payroll withholding and corporate tax collection and postponing excise tax cuts on new cars and telephone service. Then he added: If it should turn out that additional insurance is needed, then I am convinced that we should levy higher taxes rather than accept inflation.

To prepare for that possibility, and he made clear he hoped it wouldnt come to that, Johnson urged Congress to undertake background tax studies that would enable it to act quickly if the need arose. Up To Leaders With that, the chief executive put if squarely up to the leaders of big labor and big business. We know that we do not need to put our growing economy into a straight jacket or throw it into reverse, he said. But the extent of the fiscal I or monetary restraint that will be needed to avoid inflationary pressures will depend directly on the restraint and moderation I exercised by those who have power over wages and prices. Johnson was saying in effect that if labor and management cause a wage-price spiral, the government, will have to bring the economy back to earth with A Kings County couple who went to India this month to attend an international meeting got in on some history.

They were there when Prime Minister Shastri died and were witnesses at his funeral pyre. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Sum the Summers stopped in Japan, Hong Kong and Thailand. In Hong Kong he took a ride on a speedy hydrofoil to Macao and saw the border of Red China.

Before the death of Sahstri, the water conference delegates were entertained at the presidential palace at adernoon tea and met President Radhakrishnan. They had little difficulty getting to the Shastri funeral, on the bank of the Yamuna River, Summers reports. Police and soldiers were exceptionally courteous to the Americans, even though the throng of people was estimated to be one and a half million people.

Strand was seen in the first honor.

However, in direct reference to Reagan, the governor said: Here is a man who galloped into California politics on Barry Goldwaters coattails and who now says hes a moderate, not a conservative at all. He says one day he would have voted against ihe Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the next that he is not against discrimination. Hes against medicare, he says, but only for technical reasons. Hes opposed to the leadership of the John Birch Society, he says, but he refuses to kick the Birchers out of his campaign.

Living Costs At Record Iligli WASHINGTON (UPI) -The nations living costs, climbing at the fastest rate in eight years, jumped to a new record high in December. The Labor Department also said today its consumer price index went up 2 per cent in 1965.

It forecast an even bigger increase in the year ahead. The index climbed by four-tenths of 1 per cent last month, largest December increase since the Korean War, to a new peak of 111.0 per cent of average 1957-59 prices.

Cancer Fraud Verdict Dae CHICAGO (UPI) -Cancer patients resumed their vigil in federal court today, where they have waited nine months for a verdict in the Krebiozen fraud and conspiracy trial. A jury of seven men and five women took the case under deliberation Tuesday night, and resumed deliberations today after failing to reach a verdict.

The jury must decide, in effect, whether the white powdery substance is worthless in the treatment of cancer, as the government has charged, and whether the four defendants foisted a gigantic confidence game on cancer sufferers. Among those waiting for the verdict is Mrs. Gertrude Brou, 53, who has attended the trial regularly since October. She said she moved here from Florida to receive Krebiozen treatments. She said she has had nothing but good results from the drug, which she said she has taken for three years after undergoing surgery for cancer.

To Mrs. Brou, the chief defendant in the tiral, Dr. Andrew C. Ivy, is a martyr to modern science. To the government, Ivy, 72, nationally known physiologist and former vice president of the University of Illinois, has backed a gigantic hoax.
