2A s.i, 28, 74 ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH Industrial Nations Meet In Secret Economic Conference Split On Remedies CemplKt From News Sen Ices CAMP DAVID, Md. Sept. 28 Tighe security has been imposed on a meeting today of financiers and foreign ministers of five major industrial powers called by Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger to cope with high oil prices and world economic disorder.

A virtual news blackout has been imposed by the Ford Administration over the meeting at the presidential retreat in he Catoctin Mountains of Mrayland. I 58 iV- In wf) II 1" Mansfield said the Government had been ineffective in curbing inflation and in averting a recession, "and even now seems to lack the capacity to do so." House speaker Carl Albert Oklahoma, in another challenge to the White House, called for the prompt formation of 500,000 jobs in the public sector to alleviate unemployment. This would be far above the number of public service jobs projected by the administration. Albert said the Administration's policy of high interest rates and cuts in federal spending fell "far short of what our nation needs." Senate Republican minority leader Hugh Scot of Pennsylvania, in a mildly worded defense of the Administration, portrayed the Democratic criticism as motivated by political considerations. "We are here in good faith, not to practice politics but to exhibit sensibility," Scott said.

However, Democratic members of Congress and labor spokesmen kept up a steady fire of criticism. Although a substantial numbers of the 800 delegates represented business and financial interests, Representative Wright Patman Texas, was applauded when he called for the removal of Mr. Ford's economic advisers. "The President needs to get rid of holdover economic advisers who have contributed to a series of mistakes, and this includes officials of the Federal Reserve (Board)," Patman said. AFL-CIO President George Meany told Mr.

Ford, "Your advisers seem to want to continue the same policies that for 5 years have been taking America downhill it's time to try something different." Arthur F. Burns, chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, who attended the conference, was a leading target of congressional and labor criticism. Burns sat imperturbably smoking his pipe as a procession of speakers assailed the board's high interest rate policies. When his turn to speak came, Burns appeared to confirm recent reports that the board had begun moving toward a slight relaxation of the tight-money policy. He said the board "in recent months has been successful in limiting the growth of money and credit to reasonably appropriate dimensions.

We have therefore been able recently to take actions that have reduced somewhat the pressures exerted on the banking system." Burns said short-term interest rates "have responded to this relaxation, and have declined from the early July peaks. Long-term market interest rates have stabilized, albeit at very high levels, tind they can surely be expected to fall back once some progress is made in curbing inflation." Burns warned, however, "We cannot count on any very substantial reduction (in interest rates) until borrowers and lenders are convinced that the Federal Reserve is no longer pursuing a lonely struggle against inflation." Mr. Ford heard reports yesterday from grouns that had held preliminary meetings to prepare recommendations for the national conference. For the most part, the reports summarized the previously publicized results of the meetings. By JAMES DEAKIN A Washington Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch WASHINGTON, Sept.

28 The national conference on inflation appeared today to be deeply split along partisan lines over the best ways to curb the nation's price spiral and avert a deep economic slump. The 2-day meeting, which continues today and will close with a speech by President Gerald R. Ford, appeared close to an expected consensus that interest rates should be brought down as an antireceassion measure. But there was little agreement on what to do about inflation. Although Mr.

Ford yesterday dropped a broad hint that he might propose tax relief for the poor, Democratic congressional leaders and spokesmen for organized labor turned the conference into a forum for a sharp attack on the economic policies already in operation. With the November congressional elections little more than a month away, the Democrats and labor leaders told Mr. Ford in blunt terms that his economic advisers should be dismissed and that much more than federal budget-cutting was needed to control inflation. The President, who attended all but a few hours of yesterday's long meeting, listened attentively, took notes and asked several questions of a procession of speakers. Mr.

Ford's speech today was expected to be scrutinized closely for clues to what he might do in the way of new anti-inflation programs. But it was considered likely that his major proposals would be disclosed later, in a speech to the nation Oct. 10, 11 or 12. Except for the hint about tax cuts in the lower income brackets and a renewed disavowal that wage and price controls were being considered, Mr. Ford gave no concrete indication yesterday of whether he would propose anti-inflation measures beyond the present policy of fiscal and monetary restraint.

However, he warmly commented and seemed to support proposals by economics writer Sylvia Porter for greater citizen involvement in the fight against inflation. Miss Porter made several specific suggestions, ranging from a White House meeting with consumer groups to a revival of the "victory gardens" of World War II as a way of coping with high food prices. After being told by Senator Jacob K. Javits New York, that some economic consultants were advising their business clients to raise prices in anticipation of price controls, Mr. Ford said speculation about controls was unfounded.

He said the speculation was "most unfortunate" and implied that it would be unpatriotic for business firms to raise prices or labor unions to increase wage demands in anticipation of controls. "I do not intend to ask for it," the President said. He added that he had "no anticipation" that Congress would enact controls. The controls issue, however, illustrated the deep political split between the White House and the Democratic majority in Congress. Senate Democratic majority leader Mike Mansfield of Montana, in a much tougher speech than usual, called for mandatory controls on prices, wages, rents and corporate profits DIPLOMATIC PATHFINDERS: United States Senators Claiborne Pell Rhode Island (with hand outstretched) and Jacob K.

(AP Wirephoto) Two U.S. Senators Touring Cuba cussed is what to do with the gush of oil money, the so-called "petrodollars," the producers are pouring into some of the industrialized countries of the West. Specialists say the problem is that the money is not going to countries that really need it, some like Italy on the brink of bankruptcy because of the fourfold increase in oil prices in the last year.

There are various plans to correct this situation. One is expected to be presented by Healy to crease a 30-billion-dol-lar fund of "petrodollars" "held by Western countries and in effect transform them into medium-term loans bringing interest to the. Arab depositors. The question of how to help the developing nations most seriously affected by the oil price hikes will inevitably come up at the Camp David meeting, as it will be a major topic at the World Bank-International Monetary Fund meeting that starts on Monday. Though stressing that the Camp David conference has no agenda, officials seem to agree on two general issues on which the ministers may come to an agreement.

One is the energetic search for sources of energy other than imported oil, such as speeding up the exploitation of the oil in the North Sea and developing still unexploited American reserves of oil and coal. The other is stepped-up efforts to save fuel and the French example might be a good one to follow by all other importers, officials say. Pan Am Plans To Lav Off 395 Air Personnel HONOLULU, Sept. 28 (AP) Pan American World Airways is laying off 395 flight attendants based in the United States, an executive of the financially troubled airline said in Honolulu late yesterday. Edward E.

Swofford, divisional vice president for Pan Am in the Pacific, said the layoffs would be effective Oct. 30, and were caused by the financial problems of the airline. Pan Am is planning also to reduce the number of transatlantic flights, he said. Details of those flights will be announced later. He said there were no plans to reduce flight service in the Pacific area.

The airline has been hard department store and met with officials of the Cuban Public Health Ministry. Havana Radio first mentioned the visit late yesterday. The broadcast, monitored in Miami, said the Senators hud stated a wish to visit Cuba to know the real situation there. The Senators are the first members of Congress to visit Cuba since diplomatic relations were severed with the island nation in 1961. I UN Panel Rejects S.

African Credentials The participataing foreign ministers, in addition to Kissinger, are Jean Sauvagnargues of France, Hans-Dietrich Genscher of West Germany and Toshio Kimura of British Foreign Secretary James Callaghan, jvho was in Washington earlier this weaek, had tc return to London to participate in the election campaign. Deputy Under Secretary Sir Donald Maitland, an experienced career diplomat and former ambassador to the United Nations, will represent Britain at the Camp David meeting. The finance ministers are William E. Simon for the United States, Denis Healey of Britain, Jean-Pierre Fourcard of France, Hans Apel of West Germany and Masayoshi Ohira of Japan. The foreign ministers conclude their conference this evening with a dinner given by Kissinger at Camp David.

The finance ministers stay overnight for another round of conference tomorrow. The meeting follows strong negative reaction by Iran and Arab countries to President Gerald R. Ford's speech last week stating any attempt by a country to use a single commodity for political ends could force similar reactions from other nations. Department of State spokesman Robert Anderson told reporters: "This is a private meeting like the recent one in France." He said no communique would be issued at the end of the meeting. "There are no press briefings planned before, after or during the conference.

There will be no readout on the meeting. There will be no access to any of the principals at Camp David," Anderson said. Another State Department official said, "If you want to get anything out of this conference, you will have to parachut ein." There is no doubt, however, that the French decision on Monday, setting a 10.1-billion-dollar ceiling on spending for oil imports in 1975 will be one of the topics. Though U.S. officials refused to comment on the French move, some specialists call it a remarkably simple device to reduce consumption, on the one hand, and on the other to let the producers know that whatever price hikes they may decide, they cannot expect more from France than the 101 billions.

Another question to be dis- Energy Meeting Fiiflc Tf onlJvn fillUS, If eceptiye To Ford Plan DETROIT, Sept. 28 (AP) -The World Energy Conference ended yesterday and about 4200 delegates from 85 nations headed home with what sponsors said was a better understanding of the world's urgent need for joint action. "President Gerald R. Ford challenged us and other international organizations to formulate Project Interdependence, an energy program for the world," Wilson Campbell, program committee chairman, told the delegates in a summation of the conference. Campbell said several members of intergovernmental organizations had already met to discuss a conservation commissionsuch as Mr.

Ford outlined in the Project Interdependence plan. He said a meeting would be held in London before Christmas to formulate a constitution and plan financing. He said the commission might also draw up a basic reappraisal of world energy consumption.

"We are here to look, listen and bring back to our colleagues whatever information we can," Senator Jacob K.

Javits New York, said yesterday after he and Senator Claiborne Pell Rhode Island, stepped out of a twin-engine seaplane that had flown them from Homestead Air Force Base in Florida. Javits told reporters that he was carrying "no message" to the government of Fidel Castro from President Gerald R. Ford or Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger. The trip was the Senators' idea and was made without the blessing of the Department of State, which was reported twice to have asked them to postpone it "in the national interest." The visit evidently pleases the Castro government.

Havana admitted 28 U.S. reporters most of them at the last minute to cover the visit. Javits and Pell, members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, were met at Jose Marti Airport by Cuban protocol officers. They planned to meet this weekend with Premier Fidel Castro and other top officials. The Senators toured a Havana Female Deserter Enters Ford's Amnesty Plan WASHINGTON, Sept.

28 (UPI) One female military deserter from the Vietnam era has entered President Gerald R. Ford's earned re-entry amnesty program. A Pentagon spokesman said yesterday that the woman, whose name was withheld at her request, was at the Camp Atterbury, processing center awaiting an undesirable discharge from the Army. The spokesman said special quarters had been prepared at Camp Atterbury to house women who applied for amnesty. Under terms of the amnesty program, deserters who complete up to 24 months in civilian public service can swap their undesirable discharge for a more favorable clemency discharge.

Deserters may rgnore the public service work prosecution if they are satisfied to keep the undesirable discharge. The spokesman said that 391 deserters, including the one woman, had arrived at Camp Atterbury since Mr. Ford announced his amnesty offer. He said 1S2 of these already had received discharges. The spokesman said trie armed forces have no idea how many of those who may not turn themselves in might be women because the desertion records have not been catalogued according to sex.

ShowrslM WJQ. Committee voted 5 for 3 for the rejection last night with one absention. It was the first time the committee voted to refuse to issue credentials to the republic. Last year, the full General Assembly voted to reject South Africa's credentials, but decided the country could still be a member of the United Nations. "From now on, we are going to do our best to effect the expulsion of South Africa from this organization," said Ambassador Salim A.

Salim of Tanzania. The move came despite South Africa's announced plans for whites and blacks to open talks in South-West Africa on the territory's constitutional future. In a letter to LN Secretary General Kurt Waldheim, South African Ambassador Hilgard Muller said the territory's white population had decided to act "in a more positive and practical manner" to decide the colony's future. The huge territory northwest of South Africa has been called Namibia by the United Nations since 1987. South Africa has administered the former German colony since World War under a mandate from the League of Nations.

Last year, however, the International Court of Justice in The Hague ruled that South Africa was occupying the area illegally. The population of South West Africa consists of about whites and 560,000 blacks. Earlier yesterday, U.S. Ambassador-John A. Scali said the United States had budgeted almost 1 million dollars in' aid to the worlds poorest countries in the current fiscal year but the final figures depend on cooperation by Congress, the weather and inflation.

He addressed a closed conference of the 46 most affluent countries in the world called by Waldheim to discuss assistance to the 32 nations most severely affected by the current economic squeeze.

The nine-member Credentials Rightist Group Kills Lawyer In Argentina BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, Sept. 28 (UPI) Right-wing terrorists dragged the lawyer brother of former Argentine President Arturo Frondizi out of his home and machine gunned nim to death yesterday.

The terrorist members of the Argentine Anti-Communist Alliance killed Silvio Frondizi and his son-in-law, wounded a neighbor and roughed up Frondizi's wife in the daylight attack in the center of Buenos Aires. A communique from the terrorists to newspapers said the group's "third command" killed Frondizi because he was believed to be a founder of the People's Revolutionary Army, a Marxist guerrilla group that is carrying on its own campaign to 'indiscriminately execute" 16 army officers. Frondizi was defense lawyer for several captured Revolutionary Army guerrillas. In Caitondale, 111., a faculty member at Southern Illinois University said Frondizi was the brother of an SIU philosophy instructor who is on sabbatical in Argentina. Frondizi's brother, Risieri, has been at his home near Buenos Aires writing a book during a one-year sabbatical, according to Lewis Hahn, another philosophy instructor at SIU.
