This report came from per- sons close to Hunt as Federal authorities disclosed that since early last week a large force of Federal Bureau of Investigation agents had been searching for Hunt throughout the United States. At the same time, Spanish embassy officials here said Hunt's wife, Dorothy, long an employe of the embassy, had told them as late as the latter part of May that her husband was still working for the White House. I THIS APPEARED to contradict a White House statement shortly after the raid on the Democratic, headquarters at the Watergate office building here that Hunt, whose name had been linked with the June 17 break-in, had completed his consultant status in the Presidential office on March 29.

Mrs. Hunt has been a part-time employe of the Spanish embassy, whose officials said she had told them in May that my husband works for the White House and he is away traveling so much that -1 hardly ever see him." Because of the publicity surrounding Hunt in what rapidly was becoming a major political affair here, the Spanish embassy decided to fire her effective Sunday, with a month's severance pay. Hunt, who played a key role in organizing the CIA's abortive Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in 1961, was linked to the Watergate raid after the police found his name and home telephone number in the address books of two of the alleged raiders, both of them Cuban-born, when the group was arrested at the Democratic offices. ALTHOUGH Hunt spoke to FBI agents three days after the Watergate raid, he refused, according to Federal officials, to answer questions. Subsequently, he informed his friends that he was leaving Washington and for the last 10 days his whereabouts have been unknown.

Today, persons close to Hunt said they understood he had flown to Europe. They said he had base" in Spain, but they were unable to say whether he still might be there. All five persons arrested at the Watergate raid had ties with Hunt during the Bay of Pigs operation, most notably Bernard L. Barker, a Miami realtor, who was said to have acted as the CIA's finance officer in the invastion preparations. SPANISH embassy officials reported that Mrs.

F. Leader Of SALT LAKE CITY UP) -The man called prophet, seer and revelator by members of the Mormon Church, President Joseph Fielding Smith has died. Smith was stricken by a heart attack Sunday night. He would have been 96 July 19. Smith had addressed the last general conference of the 3-million-member church in April and had not been ill HE WAS the son of another church president and a grand-nephew of church founder Joseph Smith.

Smith's likely successor is Harold B. Lee, 73, who has been first counselor to the president and president of Bill employer and employe, the upward slide of the wage base. The tax rate will remain at 5.5 pet. indefinitely. THE SYSTEM will be more "progressive" or at least less regressive than before.

The tax on the lower-paid workers already more than the income tax" for many of them will stop going up after next year when it reaches 5.5 pet. All of the added financing will come from the better-off, thanks to the higher, and rising, wage base, plus the modest tax increase on any worker as his pay goes up even though his earnings are still below the wage base. Under the former law, the tax rate on all workers and hence, obviously, the lower-paid would have risen above 5.5 pet. next year and crept on upward toward 8 pet. The bill is not all pain for the better-off worker-either.

The much higher, wage base is not all loss because it means much higher benefits for him or her after retirement. The exact amount is impossible to calculate, depending as it does on the worker's present age and the unknown amount by which the wage base and the benefit level will escalate upward between 1974 and the time of retirement. But a monthly benefit of more than $1,500 for a man and wife is likely for a worker now in his mid-30's. and earning at least $12,000 whose salary goes on rising with the general wage level.

UP) The Montanarl Clinical School tries to make good citizens out of problem children and two of its students passed a course in community action with honors. Police Sunday credited Kenneth Sprouse, 16, and Johnny Price, 14, with collaring an armed youth and recovering $7,500 in stolen cash and Johnny and Kenneth, were in their cottages Saturday night when they heard calls'-of "Stop him! Stop himr The pair ran outside and joined shouting pedestrians chasing a gun-toting boy about their own age. Several blocks later, Kenneth finally tackled the boy in a churchyard. Police quickly arrived and arrested the 15- year-old on a charge of robbery. He was accused of having taken a bag of money from a 52-year-old woman who was putting auto tag agency receipts in a bank night box.

Ransom Paid; Banker Freed BUENOS AIRES UP) An armed gang kidnaped an Italian bank manager here, coir lected $200,000 in ransom and then released him unharmed. Ernanno Barca, 59, manager of the Banco di Napoli in Buenos was driving: home from work when four persons in another vehicle forced him to stop and dragged him from his car by the hair.

Lomaz, 21, of 596 Narragansett was charged after Assistant City Prosecutor Charles Zindle said he purchased four packages of firecrackers from Lomaz.

William Coleman, 31, of 1948 Tonawanda and Larry E. Hausch, 21, of 972 Kick-apoo were charged with possession of fireworks for sale after Zindle called police to the shop.

nu 1 TdSIl 17 ILKlip There will be no garbage pickup by the City of Akron sanitation crews on Tuesday, David Zimmer, director of the Service Department, said today. Those areas that normally have pickups on Tuesdays will have their trash collected Wednesday along with the regular pickups on that day. The Hardy rd. landfill also will be closed each year according to a formula linking it with the general wage level in the economy. In the mid-1980's it could easily reach $20,000, meaning a tax on the worker and his employer of $1,100 each.

THE NEWS is not all bad, however, for employes and the better-off workers. For the first time, the creeping rise in the Social Security tax rate will be halted. 'At 5.2 pet. this year, it has-become a significant cost for employers. After an increase to 5.5 pet.

next year for both Something To Beef About LOS ANGELES UP) -President Nixon got a firsthand demonstration about a topic of the minds of many Americans the past few days: the rising prices of beef. The President went to dinner Sunday at Chasen's, one of his favorite restaurants. When he ordered hobo steak a large New York sirloin he frequently chooses there the waiter told him the price had gone up the night before, from $9 to $9.25. Hughes Lets Planes Rust SANTA MONICA, Cal. ffl- Billionaire Howard Hughes ler.driven airplanes in the open air for 15 years, causing them to rust into useiessness, while he rented an empty hangar a few hundred feet from the planes for $3,000 a month.

The Douglas DC6A and Con-vair 240 now have been moved into the hangar at Santa Monica's municipal airport by men believed to be employed by. Hughes Tool Co. A News Analysis rise will cease, instead of moving toward 8 pet. as was scheduled for later years under the old law. The rise in benefit payment as more people retire, plus the new cost of living escalation, will be financed wholly, out of the steady rise in earnings in the economy, plus the Reykjavik, Iceland i.

i The. International Chess Federation postponed the start of the Bobby Fischer-Boris Spassky world championship series until Tuesday after Fischerf failed to arrive in Iceland over the weekend. The American champion was believed still in New York. Fischer's 24-game match with the Russian world's champion was to have begun Sunday. The president of the world federation, Dr.

Max Euwe, announced if the American challenger fails to show up by noon Tuesday he risks forfeiting his chance at the title. Euwe 6aid his opinion was that "there will be no play at all." The Russians reluctantly accepted Euwe's decision to delay the match. Asked what he thought of the situation, Spassky replied: "I came to play." AN ICELANDIC chess player and longtime friend of Fischer, Freystrinn Thorberbergsson, flew -to New York to persuade Fischer to meet the Tues-! day deadline. Fischer continued to hide out from newsmen in New York but was reported to have stayed until Friday at the home of friends on Long Island. Icelandic Airlines has flights tonight that would put Fischer in Reykjavik, early Tuesday, about 12 hours before the deadline for him to start playing.

Fischer's representatives in Iceland requested the postponement on the grounds that he was unable to play because of fatigue. But it was generally assumed that the request was part of Fischer's campaign to get more money out of the Icelanders. Fischer and Spassky have agreed to split a $125,000 purse, with the winner five-eighths. Each will also get 30 pet. of the sale of film and television rights.

Fischer is seeking' an additional 30 pet. of the gate receipts.

DALE JR. New Yorfc Times Service WASHINGTON The So cial Security bill rushed through Congress and signed by President Nixon last week has major, and not widely known, implications for all employers and for the millions of high-salaried working men and women in the country. For employers, the bill will mean higher costs next year and thereafter, though perhaps not quite as much increase in costs in later years as would have occurred under the former law. FOR THOSE whose earnings are at least $12,000 a year, the bill means a 41 pet. increase in Social Security taxes in the next two years from $468 in 1972 to $660 in 1974, with a tax of $594 in 1973 in between.

These same amounts, of course, must be paid by employers meaning that both businesses and industries with a high salary scale will be hit hardest. BUT MORE important for the relatively affluent workers and only for those workers Social Security taxes will go on rising indefinitely, a little each year. This is because of the little-noticed provision for "escalation" of the Social Security wage base to finance the new cost-of-living escalation of benefits for those who are retired. Starting from $12,000 in 1974, the wage base will rise NOT AFFILIATED WITH ANY GOVERNMENT AGENCY innnnnnnandnc How New SS Bill Affects You WASHINGTON (J) Here i6 how the new Social Security hike affects you: The increase boosts average monthly benefits: For an individual from $133 to $161. For a couple from $223 to $270.

For a person retiring now at maximum benefit, the increase means a boost from $216 to $259. For a couple, at maximum benefit, a boost from $324 a month to $389. The bill provides an automatic benefit increase in the future whenever the cost of living rises more than 3 pet. in one year. Tax changes under the bill: Maximum 5.2 pet.

(paid both by employers and em-: ployes) on the first $9,000 of income annually goes to 5.5, pet. on $10,800 in 1973 and 5.5 pet. on $12,000 in 1974. This means the present $468 maximum tax on an employe goes to $394 in 1973 for a worker making $10,800 or more, and to. $660 in 1974 for one making $12,000 or more.
