MR.

CARTER added: "I call on the Senate to act responsibly in the interests of the great majority of Americans to reject narrow special-interest attacks on all segments of the national energy plan." "The Congress has been lobbied continuously by the oil and gas industry to deregulate the price of new natural gas," Mr. Carter said. By 1985, the industry proposal will cost the average American family that heats with natural gas ah additional $150 a year. "It will cost the consumers almost $10 billion every year and will produce little, BUT EVEN AS Mr. Carter was speak-, ing, the full Senate rejected in a new test' vote his plan to keep federal controls on natural-gas prices.

The 53-39 vote, following action to halt a filibuster of an industry-supported deregulation measure, was the second time a majority of the Senate has gone on record against Mr. Carter's gas-pricing plan. And it came despite the President's threat to veto any bill that deregulates natural-gas prices. The vote killed an effort by Sen. Edward M.

Kennedy (D-Mass.) and other admininistration allies to revive the Carter plan. The move was engineered by Senate Republicans and oil-state which cause concern," Mr. Carter said; "but I have confidence in the judgment of the Senate and the entire Congress, and I believe that I and the American people can continue to have confidence that the outcome of these proposals will be acceptable to me as President and will be a source of gratitutde to the House and Senate by the American people when adjournment day comes." Sen. Russell B. Long, chairman of the Finance Committee, indicated he does not view the panel's 10-6 vote against the crude-oil tax as final.

He called another committee session to work out a compromise tax that would be acceptable to the President, the oil industry and a See ENERGY Page 4 MR. CARTER said his proposal for partial deregulation "would give producers strong incentives to explore and to develop new supplies of natural gas through a price which will be six times higher than the price was five years ago. "That is enough," the President declared. "It is time for the public interest to prevail over special-interest lobbyists." Mr. Carter cited a growing deficit in the nation's balance of foreign trade, "primarily because of excess oil imports." The Commerce Department said earlier in the day the deficit grew to $2.7 billion last month.

"I REALIZE that there have been some preliminary votes in the Senate Washington (AP) The Senate dealt major new blows to President Carter's energy program Monday, prompting a counterattack from the President against the oil industry and an appeal to senators to stop dismantling his plan. Accusing big oil of trying to "jeopardize our energy future," Mr. Carter urged the Senate to reject "narrow special-interest attacks on all segments" of his national energy program. The President spoke, in the White House press -room after the Senate Finance Committee, rejecting the heart of his energy plan, defeated his proposal to force conservation by taxing U.S. crude oil.

LAST WEEK, the Senate voted by a six-vote margin to continue debating the industry proposal to lift price controls from natural gas as an alternative to Mr. Carter's proposal. The President had told reporters earlier he thinks the committee vote against his oil tax plan can be reversed. In an apparent, effort to make sure that happens, Mr. Carter walked into the press room an hour later and delivered a personal statement before television cameras.

The President said: "The lobbying efforts of the oil and gas industry on deregulation (of natural-gas prices) itself show how the special interests are trying to block enactiment of the entire energy program: As we depend more and more on energy im it any, new supplies.

HOFFMAN Frankfurt, West Germany 1981-82 U.S. generals have circled these dates in their plans for defending Western Europe against a possible massive Soviet ground-air attack. That is when they expect Russia to finish re-equipping its Army divisions and Air Force squadrons with powerful new weapons and warplanes.

"What do they intend to do with all that new weaponry?" a senior American general reflected recently. "We don't know. But we'd better be ready." U.S. COMMANDERS have set 1979-80 as the goal for recovery from weaknesses in firepower, shortages and poor location of vital ammunition stocks, inadequacies in wartime support resources and vulnerability of some U.S. bases, supply depots and command centers.

Some programs, costing billions of dollars, are under way with increased backing in the past year from the Pentagon and Congress. Efforts are being made to get Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and other Allies to provide major, wartime, rear-area support for U.S. forces in transportation, ammunition handling, repair of bomb-damaged roads and bridges, traffic control, etc. HOW DO PRESENT U.S. Army forces, totaling nearly 195,000 men and women, stack up against the current threat from Soviet-led armies? "I know we have a good capability to slow them," said a top American general.

"I believe we have the capability to stop them." As for driving the attackers from -NATO territory, the general said: "I don't think we have that capability without reinforcements from the outside." Current strategy calls for U.S., German and other Allied armies to meet the enemy as close as possible to the border, with maximum force. It rejects the old concept of a fighting retreat, of giving up West German territory to buy time for mobilization and later counterattack. KEY ALLIED strategists now are convinced that the Russians could mount a major offensive into Western Europe with as little as five to seven days of preparation. That would give the Allies much less warning than the 23 days formerly assumed by NATO planners. VS.

Army and Air Force generals have urged, therefore, that the United States station substantially more firepower, particularly more big guns, antitank and antiaircraft missiles, and possibly more ground attack fighter-bombers in Western Europe. Some recommendations have been approved; others are under study in the Pentagon.

A recent kidnap victim who "wishes she could do more to help" signed a petition Monday urging state police and government officials to continue an intense investigation of the disappearance of coed Ann Louise Har-meier. The petition signer was Amy Lindsay, 21. Springfield, an Indiana University student who suffered a kidnap ordeal in Indianapolis in June. MISS LINDSAY was one of more than 100 students who signed the petition Monday in the Department of Theater and Drama, where the missing coed was studying. State police reiterated that four detectives from the Bloomington post are assigned full-time to the case and several troopers have worked part-time and will continue to look for the coed.

Students signing the petition said they believe police have been doing a thorough job. THEY SAID they are signing the petitions to let police know the investigation should not "fade away" if the young woman is not found and the prospects continue to grow dim. Miss Lindsay was a kidnap victim on went out of control and into a ditch beside the exit ramp. Police said the woman was not shot and received only minor injuries. About 10 state and county police cars were involved in the chase.

The man and woman were charged with armed robbery and assault and battery with intent to kill. Lloyd was in critical condition at Wishard Memorial Hospital. Two state police cars were damaged by the gunfire, and the back window of the suspect's car was shot out. Police records show Lloyd has a robbery case pending in Criminal Court. Detectives were continuing their investigation early today.

man who was seen last leaving the district's Diamond Dealers Club about 5:30 p.m. last Tuesday. The club serves as an exchange for brokers like P.J. and for buyers and sellers of the international diamond and jewelry industry here. Its vault is a repository for the valuables they often carry with them in leather pouches.

Police believe P.J. may have been carrying anywhere from $100,000 to $1 million in jewels when he disappeared. JAROSLAWICZ' daily habits included prayer each morning before work at a synagogue near his home in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn and frequent telephone calls to his wife. He reportedly asked another club member for change for the telephone shortly before he vanished, saying he had one more business appointment before going home. Since then, not a trace.

According to Rabbi Edgar Gluck of See DIAMOND Page 4 Another Photo, Page 36 The man, Joey Lloyd, 22, 1400 block of Broadway, and his female companion, identified as Wanda Hoskins, led county and state police from 1-465 on the West-side around the interstate to the 1-65 South exit to Louisville. Lloyd, who drove during the chase as well as firing at least four shots at police, was wounded by police at the Louisville exit ramp and lost control of the car. Police fired more than 20 shots during the chase. Motorists pulled off the roadway as the chase continued over the interstate. There were no reports of bullets striking other automobiles.

THEY EVENTUALLY were freed and Miss Lindsay suffered the only injury among the tbree, a small cut on her left arm.

"Signing this petition is a small way of telling the police that their hard work is being appreciated. From the victim's perspective, I know how very much it helps to believe the best is being done to come to the rescue or at least ease the minds of the victim's family," Miss Lindsay said. "I wish I could do more to help find her and other students in the department have said they feel that way. too. This is a very helpless feeling.

"One of the saddest things about this is that it seems to take a tragedy to remind everyone to be careful, not to drive alone, not to be so trusting. Many students have too much of a safe feeling."

The car was spotted 10 minutes later by State Police Trooper William Smith, who was headed south on 1-465, south of the 10th Street exit.

Sheriff's Deputy Richard Davidson joined the chase near the Kentucky Avenue exit. Lloyd took the Louisville exit, and at about the same time, Davidson caught up with the car and it is believed he fired at Lloyd, hitting him in the neck.

About 200 of diamond dealers, all' men and many wearing the beards, round hats and long black coats of the East European shtetl, spent three hours Sunday combing the stairwells, basements, elevator shafts and alleys of the retail diamond district on 47th Street a few blocks away from the smart shops of Fifth Avenue and the Broadway theaters. They found no clues to Jaroslawicz' disappearance.

The dealers form a tight-knit, busi-ness-on-a-handshake community of largely Orthodox immigrant Jews or their descendants.

Amen. 1 I 4 I- ftfabi if i New York (AP) Another young diamond broker was reported missing Monday as police and Orthodox col-leaguesxof one who disappeared on the eve of Yom Kippur were puzzling over that case. Authorities had not linked immediately the disappearance last Tuesday of 25-year-old Pinchos Jaroslawicz with the report filed Monday that Shlomo Tal, another diamond dealer, had not been seen for three days. Police had ruled out kidnaping in Jaroslawicz' disappearance because no ransom had been reported and said that because of his reputation they did not think he had embezzled the fortune in gems he was believed carrying with him. The case was assigned to a missing-persons squad.
