THE RECORD-ARGUS 125th 88 COMPLETE ASSOCIATED PRESS WIRE SERVICE FEATURES GREENVILLE, FRIDAY, APRIL 13, 1973 PUBLISHED DAILY EXCEPT SUNDAY ESTABLISHED 1848 FIFTEEN CENTS Industry Summoned For Price Rise Explanation By BILL NEIKIRK Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) With a showdown set next week on the future of wage-price controls, the Nixon administration has summoned representatives of key industries to find out why their prices have skyrocketed. The Cost of Living Council will call in representatives from the textile, canning, paper, nonferrous-metal and machine-tool industries, among others, it was learned. "We want to try to find out more about these industries, take a harder look at the problem areas," a council source said. The goal is to try to hold downs these prices. The industry sessions will open next week and will continue for several weeks.

The council has been edging back toward Phase 2-type mandatory controls in several problem areas as Congress debates proposed new ceilings on prices. Meantime, House Democratic leaders decided Thursday that legislation to set ceilings on most prices and interest rates at their March 16 levels will go to the House floor Monday and a vote will come later in the week. If the bill passes the House, it must go to a Senate- House conference. Congress plans to adjourn next Thursday for an Easter recess. If it does so without approving President Nixon's request for a one-year extension of his authority to control wages and prices, the power would expire 11 days later.

The Nixon administration wants a simple extension of the law and is strongly opposed to the proposed price ceilings up for a House vote. The administration criticized a proposal that would have extended controls temporarily for 60 days while Congress debated the bill. This-k would have caused companies to raise prices in anticipation of stronger controls by Congress, administration officials said. The bill up for a House vote would roll back rents back to the Jan. 10 level while allowing landlords to pass on, dollar-for- dollar, increases in taxes and other costs.

The president would be required within 60 days to bring World at a Glance HANNOVER, Germany (AP) Chancellor Willy Brandt's party re-elected him chairman today after giving overwhelming endorsement to West Germany's alliance with the United States and its full participation in the North Atlantic alliance's defenses.

SAIGON (AP) The South Vietnamese government charged the Communists with 171 more cease-fire violations today, the largest number in nearly a month.

IECAFE. 16 Killed in Collision Of Government Planes MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (AP) "The flames were 30 to 40 feet in the air and the wreckage was covered with black smoke. There was no way to get in there." Fireman Ron Kimball was describing the scene after a National Aeronautics ann 1 Space Administration plane and a Navy aircraft collided in flight, plummeted onto a golf course in piggyback fashion, exploded and burned. Sixteen men aboard the planes died; one was critically injured.

"The one plane just set down on top of the other," said David Frame, 25, who was working on the Sunnyvale Municipal Golf Course when the planes crashed Thursday. None of the golfers or employes on the course was hurt. The Navy named a board of investigation to try to learn why the two four-engine planes were so close while approaching the Navy's Myffett Field, le.is than who witnessed the crash from a practice fire tower about a mile away where he was working with Mountain View firemen. "The jet was gradually overtaking when the turboprop pulled up vertically," said Brand, who also is a pilot. "Then one of the jets caught the tail of the turboprop and turned it The planes came down locked, with the Navy plane beneath.

Massive Layoffs Threatened at Plant Employes of Greenville Steel Car Company who have been on strike for the past 10 weeks may face possible massive layoffs sometimes after they return if the strike does not end before bids are opened on a major car order next week. F.E. Stuver, executive vice president of the firm, said the huge order would account for one-third of the plant's annual production this year. "We have been told by the customer that, regardless of our bid and regardless of the fact that our production technique on this particular car 's a plus over our competitor's, we simply will not get the order if the plant is on strike," Stuver said. "The plant has current orders that also face cancellation if the strike continues.

These current orders involve 555 cars and parts orders for 500 car sels. Three to four months' work for SliO men is at stako on these orders," Stuver added. Last Saturday members of Local 1653 UAW rejected the offer the loc'al unioi company's latest wage and benefit offer. It was the third time in the past 12 weeks that company rejected by membership. The offer voted down las Saturday had been approved 1 the A Internationa Representatives, by the nego committee of Local 165,1 and by the federal mediator Only 526 of the union's 900 members voted on the proposal "I think every employe should know," Stuver sai'd, "that unless this strike ends promptly a great many jobs will be in jeopardy.

We don't want that to happen, particularly in view of the fact that this has operated without a major layoff for the past 10 years."

Security Council today over Palestinian charges of U.S. involvement in the Israeli raid on Beirut. Delegates predicted the debate, Thursday and started late could stretch over the weekend, would produce the second U.S. veto in the council in less than a month. Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Hassan el-Zayyat was en route to headquarters to deliver a major speech.

Arab anger over the Israeli slaying of three Palestinian leaders in Beirut Tuesday was matched by official U. S. anger over Palestinian broadcasts charging American involvement. Secretary of State William P. Rogers called envoys of 13 Arab countries to his office in Washington and asked them to have their government radios carry the U.S.

denial of the charges as an "absolute falsehood." U. S. Ambassador John A. Scali told the Security Council "the monstrous accusation that (he United States somehow helped carry out the events in Lebanon originated with those who oppose at all costs and by any means a peaceful settlement." Scali warned that the Palestinian accusations could encourage new violence, presumably meaning against Americans. He demanded that "all Oppose Township Issues West Salem Residents Voice Protest By THOMAS INFIELD West Salem Twp.
