The backlog of unsold cars at the end of January experienced the first decline since the 1975 model year began last September but was still far larger than what the industry considers normal. The backlog was more than three-months worth of unsold autos. The Industry considers a two-month backlog sufficient. Ward's Automotive Reports, the industry's statistical service, said over the weekend that automakers had 1.65 million cars in stock at the end of January, compared with about 1.7 million a month earlier.

family also could expect a 25 per cent increase in federal, state and local taxes, with its tax burden rising from $1,607 in 1973 to $2,033 last year, the report said. In the same period, Social Security taxes rose 22 per cent, it said. The report prompted Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, chairman of the committee, to observe: "This is the first recession in history in which the tax burden on families and individuals has increased."

Democratic leaders say they are developing an alternative to the Ford program, which is based on conserving energy by making it more costly. At least two dozen Democratic members of both houses have offered their own substitutes for the Ford plan, but it's unclear whether they will reach agreement on an alternative.

The House, which now is in the middle of a 10-day continuing hearings on the 2-State Tour Set By Ford WASHINGTON (AP) -After witnessing the installation of his second cabinet-level appointee, President Ford is embarking on another stump tour for his economic-energy program. James T. Lynn, former secretary of Housing and Urban Development, was to be sworn in today at a Cabinet Room ceremony as Ford's director of the Office and Management and Budget. Three hours after Lynn's swearing in, Ford was scheduled to leave Washington for Houston and two days of Drivate meetings and public appearances in Texas and Kansas. The President took a similar two-day journey to Atlanta last week and plans more trips in the weeks ahead.

recess, already has passed by a wide margin a bill blocking for 90 days Ford's $3-a-barrel special tax on imported oil. The Senate Finance Committee, which is measure today, aims to approve the bill this week and send it to the full Senate for final action next week. Republicans who support the Ford program and many of them admit their support is based partly on the lack of any Democratic alternative apparently have discarded plans to wage an all-out filibuster against the 90-day delay. Sen. Clifford P.

Hansen, said the better strategy probably would be for backers of the President's plan to let the bill pass, with every expectation that Ford will veto it. The big battle then would come as Democrats in both houses sought to gather the required two-thirds to override the veto. "We've got to have adequate debate (on the delay bill) without a filibuster," said Senate Republican Leader Hugh Scott, forecasting a debate lasting three or four days. "We believe we can sustain a veto in the Senate," he added. The imported-oil tax is the heart of Ford's program to reduce U.S.

dependence on foreign energy. The project) is aimed at cutting oil imports by two million barrels a day over the next three years.

The city is permitted under the ordinance to secure a building and place a lien against the property for the cost, if the owner won't pay, but again, it's a question of money.

"In the past, the city has always relied on the owner to act in his own interest and secure his building," Chomsky said. This procedure hasn't been successful, and assistant city attorney Henry A. Kaplan is reviewing the city ordinance and will make revisions where necessary, Chomsky said. "We should be able to require that a dangerous building be secured imme WASHINGTON (AP) -With the latest unemployment figure standing at 8.2 per cent, AFL-CIO President George Meany says the rate could climb to 10 per cent by July.

"We're past a recession. We're going into a depression," he said yesterday on a television interview show." To cope with the surge in jobless Americans, Meany said there should be more public service jobs, public works grants and prompt congressional action on tax relief. "We're now fighting a war to preserve our way of life and we have people in Congress and the White House who seem insensitive to the problems of the American people," Meany said. The government reported last week that unemployment in January climbed to 8.2 per cent of the work force, the highest since the end of the Depression in 1941 when it averaged 8.8 per cent for the full year. There were 55.9 million persons in the work force that year.

Today the work force totals about 91 million. The Ford administration's most recent forecast is for an 8.5 jobless rate later this year. Meany also called for 6 per cent mortgages to help revive the housing indut-try. He said 6 per cent loans are made in the Soviet Union and should be available to Americans. Rep.

Henry S. Reuss, chairman of the House Banking Committee, said he felt Meany's call for 6 per cent credit might be asking too much. "I'd like to get the mortgage rate down to 8 per cent on its way to 7 per cent," Reuss said in another television interview." Meanwhile, a report by the staff of the Congressional Joint Economic Committee put the finger on taxation as a major culprit in the inflation spiral. It said a family earning $12,626 in 1973 had to spend an extra $1,840 in 1974 just to maintain its standard of living, paying out $379 more for food, $393 more for housing and $145 more for transportation.

But city officials, perhaps spurred to action by a recent rash of fires, have begun a review of the codes governing such structures and plan stronger legal measures in the future. To get a vacant building properly secured and inaccessible, particularly after a fire, has been their chief stumbling block. The city's Health Department, according to chief officer Martin S. Chomsky, hasn't had the funds to board up the abandoned buildings.

And the Council, reluctant to lose ratables, has historically been slow to order demolition of hazardous buildings and lenient with owners who promise to repair their properties. In addition, deteriorated housing will be aided through the loan, grant and homestcading programs soon to be available through the community development program, which will help property owners renovate their buildings. Chomsky said he hopes to have money allocated through the state matching Safe Neighborhoods and Clean Streets Act programs to provide for securing buildings and acquiring the necessary equipment.

He said a student-faculty committee has recommended 8-1 that he be rehired. Cost Rise Pushes Press to 15 Cents The price of your Asbury Park Press will be 15 cents Monday through Saturday, starting today. The price of the Sunday Press will still be 35 cents.

Ernest W. Lass, publisher and chairman of the board, said the increase in the price of the daily paper is necessitated by skyrocketing costs, especially the price of newsprint and ink. The cost of newsprint has jumped from $160 to $260 a ton in two years, raising the bill The Press paid for some 15,000 tons last year by more than $1.5 million. The price of ink has gone up from 5V4 to 124 cents a pound, increasing the cost of 687,000 pounds by $48,090. Lass said the price of The Press was increased with great reluctance and only as a last resort.

"It is no longer possible for us to continue absorbing the full amount of rising costs required to give our readers the type of newspaper they expect and deserve," he said. "We don't intend to skimp on quality or quantity." This was a reference to the recent report by the Center for Analysis of Public Issues, Princeton, that The Press, the fourth largest in circulation, publishes more news than any other paper in New Jersey. Of the state's 28 daily papers, The Press publishes the most local news. It ranks second in the amount of national news and third in state news. diately," said Giberson.

"Or if it is not too hazardous, between five and seven days." Under the present procedure, each situation is handled differently.

He said the contract to train Saudi troops was "confusing," since "we're the only ones who've raised an inference of a threat." Humphrey, in calling for an investigation of the contract, said, "The possibility of having American forces training another country's troops in the Mideast is fraught with danger "I think the armed services committees of the House and Senate should promptly look into it and see what it involves," Humphrey said In a telephone interview Sunday.

Kissinger carried a warm endorsement from President Ford as he headed for the Middle East today to sound out Egyptian and Israeli leaders on prospects for another disengagement agreement. Kissinger, target of recent congressional criticism, departed on the 10-day journey last night after Ford, Vice President Nelson A. Rockefeller Cabnet members stood in freezing temperatures to give the secretary of state a personal sendoff at Andrews Air Force Base. Kissinger's first stop on the fact-finding mission, after a refueling at an air-base outside London, is Jerusalem, where he will confer over two days with Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and other Israeli leaders. At Andrews, Ford clasped Kissinger's hand and said, "You nave my strong support and the blessings of 213 million Americans.

We look forward to the kind of success you have achieved in the past." Ford characterized Kissinger's journey as an "extremely delicate and extremely important mission" and said they would be nude environment and that people who break through the sexist prohibition of being nude in mixed company tend to relate in a less sexist way.

"The uniform reaction," Barense said, "was that it was a very invigorating experience. We found we could do it, that no one got sexually aroused, that we had more affection and trust for each other." The workshops dealing specifically with personal development rather than academic study resulted. He taught two last spring, and one this fall, before being ordered to stop in November.

The students voted unanimously to participate with their clothes off. "Taking off your clothes gets rid of the wall," said one senior from South Jersey. "People can hide behind their clothes. These excer- See NUDE Page A2 Certified icubo court at YMCA. Eve.

The display of support from the administration follows recent congressional criticism of Kissinger's authority and methods of negotiations. Sen. Lloyd M.

Bentsen, said Kissinger has too much power and should relinquish one of his posts as secretary of state and head of the National Security Council. Sen. Henry M. Jackson, criticized Kissinger for not keeping Congress informed of his diplomatic maneuvers. And Sen.

Adlai E. Stevenson III. criticized Kissinger's style of personal diplomacy and said he pursued American interests with "grand gesticulations" and bribes. Jackson and Bentsen are candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination. On the current round of talks the hard bargaining will begin Wednesday in Cairo when Kissinger confers at length with Egyptian President Anwar Sadat.

Diplomatic sources say Sadat has not even begun to specify the concessions he is prepared to make for another Israeli withdrawl in the Sinai. In an interview yesterday with the Netherlands Broadcasting Foundation Kissinger descrihed his trip as exploratory. "The trip on which I am starting does not in itself, will not yield results," he said. "I am making only one stop in each capital, except I am going twice to Israel, in order to get a feel for the real convictions of the chief protagonists, who might be reluctant to put their thoughts down in writing. "After I've had this, I will come back here, formulate an American view on the matter, and then return to the Middle East, and conclude the negotiations." Strike Shuts Aircraft Plant ST.

WASHINGTON (AP) -Sens. Henry M. Jackson and Hubert H. Humphrey have called for a congressional investigation of the Defense Department's contract with a private corporation to train Saudi Arabian troops to protect oil wells in the Persian Gulf.

Jackson, said he would ask Sen. John C. Stennis, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, to conduct hearings. Jackson, who last Thursday announced his candidacy for the 1976 Dcmoratic presidential nomination, said he was "completely baffled" by the contract.
