WOODCOCK SAID current economic difficulties are global in scope and far more serious than most Americans realize. Asked what he would do to deal with them, Woodcock replied: "I wish I had some magic answer.

I haven't." Hut he praised Ford for approaching the situation with candor and expressed gress to act on such a matter in the final weeks of its 1974 session, but noted the President would be outlining his 1975 program in January. TerllORST SAID tax increases sometimes are needed "just a practical gov-, crnmental matter." The possibility of a tax increase is the "sort of issue a president always has before him," he said. While terHorst was meeting with reporters, Ford was lion, Ford asked Congress to act under the new budget reform law to defer that amount of spending for a year. To do otherwise, he said, "would contribute excessively to inflationary governmental spending." Asked if Ford might seek higher taxes, terHorst responded, "At this time the President has no plans for asking for a tax increase." TerHorst said it would be unrealistic to expect Con spending a half hour with President Leonard Woodcock of the United Auto Workers Union. Woodcock, full of praise for the new President, later told newsmen, "I would be opposed to a tax increase across-the-board." However, he said he would favor tax changes that would lower levies against bottom and middle-rank taxpayers while increasing them in the upper brackets, lie also advocated repeal of some tax the damago in explosion and one man and I injuring 1 3 Fire Commissioner story on Pogo Wt fcj 7 -'V fr.r St 1 4 i -J 1 Surveyed stant miracles," Ford said.

"This is an uphill struggle. We're all in it together. We must be tough with ourselves, we must be ready for sacrifices, and we must be prepared to stick it out over the long haul."

THE ACTION calls for a complete restructuring of Peabody's academic and administrative bureacracy, including abolition of the traditional academic departments.

T. Hardison IV, once Tennessee's most famous fugitive and now its most colorful convicted stock forger, was freed on bond yesterday. As he walked out of the Metro Workhouse, he carried only a book on English law. He told newsmen the people in the workhouse had treated him well but that the state prison, where he had just served five years of a 10 year sentence, is a "version of the Russian concentration camp.

He was paroled on July 26, but was sent to the workhouse where he had been held since for contempt of court. Hardison refused to turn over any assets he has or disclose their location to the banks he bilked of the money. Hardison was allowed to make bond pending final disposition of the contempt case.

IN AN INTERVIEW yesterday in the workhouse and before he found out Liff 's signature was on the court order, Hardison said the delay in his gaining freedom is the result of a "moral issue." "The chancellor just wants to be sure I have someone (guaranteeing bail) whom I have a great deal of respect for so that I wouldn't leave for Brazil." After a day-long hearing on Wednesday, Chancellor Ben Cantrell set Hardison's bail at $2,500 under two conditions.
