Cairo said Wednesday the 4,000 United Nations peacekeeping troops in the Sinai will remain at their posts beyond July 24, despite Egypt's announcement it will not agree to extending their mandate.

He insisted, however, there was no collusion by the oil companies to raise prices. Zarb told a Senate subeom-rniUee that a ciirLlsig of gas refining by the oii companies was due to "a combination of unforeseen refining problems." "We have seen no evidence that there is a conspiracy to promote a shortage in anticipation of higher price levels," Zarb said. Zarb spelled out the administration's outlook for the near future as both the Senate and House focused attention on energy, particularly oil prices. The Senate Tuesday approved a six-month extension of oil price controls and Speaker Carl Albert said the House would take the same approach. Later today, President Ford is expected to submit to Congress his proposal to more than double the per-barrel cost of oil over the next 30 months.

On U-Tech Building 1 8-Month Decline Reversed WASHINGTON UPS I For the first time since September, America's industrial output has started increasing providing further evidence the recession has ended. The Federal Reserve Board reported Tuesday the index which measures production of manufacturing, mining and gas and electric utilities rose 0.4 per cent in June, after an eight-month decline. Higher output of consumer goods and nondurable industrial materials was responsible for most of the change.

But output of business equipment and durable industrial materials continued to decline. The monthly indax measures changes in physical output of factories and utilities. These are especially sensitive'- to shifts in and so a turnaround in the index after a sustained decline couid herald a similar trend in the overall ecouw'y. Another barometer, the so-called "leading indicators," have moved up three straight months after a two-year decline, giving evidence that the longest of the five recessions since Worid War II may have run its course. The June production report showed auto assemblies up 8 per cent to a 7.2-million unit annua! rate; production of household appliances and nondurable consumer goods continued to expand; steel production continued to slump, partly because industries continued to work off steel on hand in inventory before placing new orders.

There was a sharp rise in output of textiles, paper, chemical andjother nondurable materials. The reserve board's index now stands 110.1, 'hieh is 124 per cent below ihe peak last September.

Midway through it, astronauts Thomas Stafford, Vance Brand and Donald "Deke" Slayton turned on their camera, showing the docking module that will link Apollo to Soyuz.

The flagships of the two powers were circling the globe every hour and a half. Soyuz was more than 1.000 miles ahead of Apollo as the trews prepared for the history-making linkup and union in orbit. "Everything is flying around, swimming here as you see," Leonov reported from the weightless cabin of Soyuz. "This is how we live in the artificial satellite of the earth." Leonov and Kubasov opened the day's activities by gunning their Soyuz into a near perfect "assembly" orbit 138 to 140 miles high to wail for the the Americans who took off Vi hours after the Soyuz. "Your friends just finished" a circ (circularization) burn and they are in orbit waiting for you," Robert Crippen at Houston control told the three Americans.

The astronauts' first chore of the day was to remove a stainless steel docking probe hung up because a wire connector shifted out of position and blocked a removal tool. Crippen radioed up instructions on how to fix it, and the astronauts reported a few minutes later that the probe had been successfully removed. "Ah, the probe is out," Stafford said at 10:57 EOT. The probe was used to clasp docking latches when the Apr Jo hooked up to its docking module Tuesday. It had, to be removed so the pilots could move into the module and later the Soyuz.

After clearing the hatchway, the astronauts moved into the cylindrical docking module to start preparing it for the meeting with the Russians. The problem was considered minor from the beginning and flight directors said there was no concern about it affecting this week's rendezvous and linkup plans. Russian officials in Moscow, however, expressed, some concern and were-assured by U. S. technical representatives there that the problem could be overcome.

"In return, we bugged them about their TV camera problems," said astronaut Robert Overmyer in Moscow. One of the four video cameras in the Soyuz failed during launch Tuesday and detailed step by step repair procedures were radioed up by Moscow to Leonov and Kubasov at the same time Houston was sending repair procedures to the Apollo. Soviet controller Viktor Bla-gov said the camera problem wasxtraced to a defect in a cable. "It will not affect the (Continued on Page 5) City Suggests Flag Purchase By Civic Clubs Provo City is planning to ask local civic clubs to purchase flags for three new downtown flagpoles as a service project.

It was built by the Cox Construction Company of Manti for an approximate cost of $4.5 million.

According to Carl Corbin, traffic engineer for Utah's sixth district, the biggest advantage included in the new highway is the incorporation of all national safety designs criteria which will be the means of reducing accidents and saving lives. John Keyes, project engineer and Ernest J. Wilson, construction engineer said that the contract includes a full diamond interchange at Mona and the construction of one mile of connecting road into Mona. There will still be some construction work to follow such as signing, clean-up work and fencing, they added. "We advise people to use extra caution on this new stretch until all work has been completed," they stressed.
