Frank Church (D-Ida.) Wednesday released a list of more than 1,500 U.S. firms blacklisted by Arab nations for doing business with Israel, a boycott that President Ford called "repugnant to American principles." At a hearing before his Senate foreign relations subcommittee on multinational corporations, Church said the Arab boycott was an at-' tempt "to impose a pattern of anti-Semitism on our business life." During the hearing, a spokesman for the US. Army Corps of Engineers conceded that Jewish personnel attached to the corps were not assigned" to Saudi Arabia because of religious and political pressures in that country. CoL William Durham said that corps personnel work on construction and technical projects in Saudi Ara- bia under agreements approved by the State Department In Hollywood, meanwhile, President Ford labeled the Arab blacklist "totally contrary to the American tradition and repugnant to American principles." "Foreign businessmen and investors are welcome in the United States when they are willing to conform to the principles of our society," the President told a press conference. "However, any allegations of discrimination will be fully investigated and appropriate action taken under the laws of the United States." Mr.

Ford said he had asked the Justice, Commerce and State to look into the allegations and Prepared to Adopt Common Policy With Other Nations to Protect Costs of Domestic Energy Wire Services BY JERRY COHEN Times Staff Writer Since the liberating influence of Vatican Council what had been virtually unmentionable before is openly discussed now among vast segments of Roman Catholic laity and clergy. The role of sex in the lives of priests and nuns large blocks of whom are ex-priests and ex-nuns expressly because of inability or clination to remain chaste. "A celibacy crisis," an official church document prepared in Rome calls it Whatever, the phenomenon figures significantly in the toll taken in cathedral and convent in recent years. Both the church hierarchy, in cautiously phrased comment, and observant Catholic laymen and outspoken priests, in less-guarded language, have voiced distress about it Not only about the exodus of priests and nuns, for whatever reasons, but also about the dissipation of enthusiasm among the young for religious vocations. The boldest of the church's critics contend that the institution itself may totter unless its uncompromising law requiring celibate clergy is modified.

If the just-released results of a survey of Catholics across the nation is accepted as valid, the laity appears conditioned for some sort of change. In publishing the findings of its survey, the National Opinion Research Center commented: Despite the frequently heard in high' ecclesiastical circles that the laity would not accept married clergy, 80 of our respondents say they would be able to accept the change and 79 say they favor such a change." The survey's findings are bound to have repercussions. So are those of another recent study. The latter, supported by the Chicago-based National Sisters Vocation Conference, was based on a sampling of 1,402 former nuns. "Nearly 40 of the women in the study indicated that the desire to marry' or the need for sexual intimacy1 were the prime elements related to departure," the researchers reported.

Whether reverberations from either of these fresh findings will inspire any kind of change is uncertain. Bishop Thomas Grady of Orlando, Fla, thinks not IBs is not a voice to be taken lightly. He is chairman of a committee created by the National Conference of Bishops, the church's ruling body in this nation, to study priestly As such, his insight into the dispositions of the church establishment is perhaps unmatched. 'As far as the American bishops are concerned, I do not see in the imme diate future any change in the discipline of celibacy for the Latin he said. But to others, findings of the survey taken among Catholic laymen, at Jeast, signal a historic tilt.

Such an outcome would be "very ill-advised and extremely serious" because "we need a stimulant now," the President told a news conference. When he proposed the reduction in his Jan. 15 State of the Union message, Mr. Ford said, he anticipated passage of legislation "by the middle of March at the latest" The President said he hoped the House would, as expected, complete action this week on its own $212 billion versiqn of the original Administration But he noted that Senate hearings had yet to start, and he said there could be further delay if the two chambers passed different versions of the measure.

During the questioning, the President appeared to leave the door open for acceptance of the substantially broader tax-reduction measure pending in the House. He was asked what he would do to fight the recession. The President cited his tax-cut proposal and said that restoration of "confidence in the system" was needed. Then he added "Instead of increasing expenditures as some have suggested, I would favor a larger tax decrease." But he said he Please Turn to Page 7, Col. 3 Agents in Clear, Colby Asserts CIA Director Expects No Criminal Charges BY ROBERT L.

Zarb, federal energy administrator, said that "all consuming countries have an interest in adopting a common policy on the levels at which they will protect prices of their domestic energy."
