Christopher S. Tuesday to deal with revision Bond, faced with tight credit of the state's 8 per cent ceiling problems around the state and on interest rates and insufficient funds to meet some welfare payments through the end of the year, has ended speculation about recalling the legislature this month. Bond officially announced Tuesday that the House and the Senate would convene in emergency welfare appropriations. Shortly after the governor announced the call, which had originally been urged by a number of legislators, House Speaker Pro Tern Richard DeCoster, D-Canton, criticized the action as untimely and dis- ruptive "since it is only a few weeks until the regular session begins." "But I want to assure the people and the governor that the House will do everything in its power to make it a successful special session," DeCoster said, echoing the pledge that has been made by Senate leaders. Bond had told legislative leaders last month that he in- tended to recall the House and Senate to the Capitol for a special session, which must end no later than noon Jan.

8. But in the wake of heavy Republican losses in the general election, the prospect came under new scrutiny because of reports that many of the lame duck legislators would not attend.

Sponsors of the resolution to end the 10-year-old quarantine against the Castro government counted Haiti and Guatemala among the 14 votes they needed. But after four days of negotiations at the foreign ministers' conference that ended Tuesday, Haiti and Guatemala joined the United States, Bolivia, Brazil and Nicaragua in abstaining.

The vote was 12 to 3, two short of the two-thirds majority needed for adoption. Diplomatic sources said the Guatemalans and Haitians came to the OAS conference intending to vote in favor of the resolution. They said the conservative leaders of Guatemala's armed forces put heavy pressure on their government to abstain. Other sources indicated the Haitians had hoped to use their vote as a lever to obtain financial aid from the United States in exchange for a "no" vote or from oil-rich Venezuela for a "yes." When these overtures were rebuffed, the Haitians decided to abstain. Foreign Minister Gonzalo Facio of Costa Rica, the principal organizer of the conference, said he had 14 sure votes before the meeting, "believe me, homework, but I did my several of votes suddenly those firm changed." Foreign Minister Emilio Rabasa of Mexico disagreed.

"I said there were 12 sure votes even before coming here. The rest were imagination," he commented. Chilean Foreign Minister Patricio Carvajal, one of the leading opponents of the pro- Cuban campaign, said the other side's optimistic anticipations at the start of the conference were "fairy tales." The United States took a neutral stance throughout the meeting, exerting no pressure one way or the other and leaving the decision entirely up to the Latin Americans. Facio put part of the blame for the resolution's failure on this "negative" U.S. attitude.

But William D. Rogers, the assistant secretary of state for inter-American affairs, said his delegation took a "new and healthy posture, not to pressure countries how they should act." In Buenos Aires, Argentine Foreign Minister Alberto Vignes, whose government has flouted the embargo with more than $600 million in sales to Cuba in the last 15 months, said the Quito vote was premature and "not a defeat." Vignes said the issue will undoubtedly be raised again at the meeting of American foreign ministers to be held in Buenos Aires next March. NATIONAL STOCKYARDS, 111.

He said, however, that he has made continual checks with "responsible" House and Senate leaders in recent days and has been assured that enough legislators will attend so that business can be conducted. But some still question, Bond said, the need for a special session. Under the call, the legislators will consider raising the interest ceiling, the lowest in the nation, and appropriating a proposed $25.9 million to meet supplemental security income payments to the aged, blind and disabled and to cover state costs for some 7,000 nursing home residents. Budget shortages occurred in those two programs as a result of unanticipated problems during the course of the year, and Atty. Gen.

John C. Danforth has determined that money in other budget accounts cannot be legally transferred to make the payments until the legislature convenes its regular session in January. The governor also said his staff is looking into the need of amending the call after the session begins to include funding for revised campaign financing laws, overwhelmingly approved by voters earlier this month and effective Jan. 1. Estimated costs to implement those laws through next June are about $200,000.

Although the prime interest rate has declined in recent weeks, Bond noted that it is still above the state ceiling and he said that if the law is not considered until the regular session, any changes would not be effective until next fall, missing an entire building season. "The situation is sufficiently pressing in Missouri that we ought to go ahead and try" to revise the law, he commented. The special session a year ago cost taxpayers about $350,000, and while Bond has predicted a spending deficit approaching $50 million for the state by next June, he said the expense of the session would be warranted to deal with what he described as pressing problems. He also noted that the overall cost would be up to the legislature, which will determine precisely how long the session will run. With the return of the legislature next week, Bond will face consideration of more than 100 appointments he has made to state boards and agencies as a result of state reorganization last summer.

Although he said he does not expect any of his appointees to face harsh opposition in their confirmation hearings, several are expected to have rough going, including Agriculture Director James Boillot, when they appear before the Senate Gubernatorial Appointments Committee. At Defiance MONTGOMERY CITY- Charles Henry Edwards, 60, of Defiance, formerly of Montgomery City, died Tuesday at his home. He had been in ill health for some time. He was born Sept. 5,1914, at Middletown, the son of Charles Henry and Leonora Stipp Edwards.

He was married on Sept. 3,1939, to the former Fay Appleby of Montgomery City. Survivors include his wife; five daughters, Mrs. John (Helen) Ellis of New Florence; Mrs. Mary Ann Mosely of High Hill; Mrs.

Davis (Amy) Reed of Defiance; Carol Gene and Rebecca June, both of the home; two sons, Thomas A. Edwards of New Florence; Charles Harrison Edwards of Defiance; five grandchildren, his sister, Mrs. Orville Huhn of Montgomery City; his stepmother, Mrs. Georgie Edwards of Troy; a stepbrother, Herman Kraft of Middletown; and a step-sister, Mrs. Stella Spires of Wellsville.

One son, Charles Henry, preceded him in death. Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday at the Schlanker Funeral Home with the Rev. Robert L. Hester officiating.

Burial will be in the Montgomery City Cemetery. Visitation is after 2:30 p.m. today.

Kalmbach said Dean told him that the break-in "had been a CRP (Committee to Re-elect the President) operation," and so absolute secrecy was required for his fund-raising activities. Kalmbach quoted Dean as saying Nixon's 1972 re-election would be jeopardized if news of the fund-raising efforts for the defendants leaked out.

British Gasoline Will Cost $1.43 LONDON (AP) Britons rushed to gas stations today to stock up before a 15 per cent price increase ordered by the government takes effect. The increase in gas tax was part of the Labor government's new budget aimed at reviving tottering industry and meeting the energy crisis. It was announced Tuesday by Chancellor of the Exchequer Denis Healey. The price of an American- size gallon of gasoline goes up 17 cents Monday, to $1.26, and other increases already planned will push it up to $1.43, industrial sources said. The rises mean higher transport costs that will force up virtually all prices.

(Continued from Page 1) $62,025 to former President Richard M. Nixon's 1972 campaign and $200,000 to the 1968 campaign for the nomination of George M. Romney. Rockefeller said that over the last 17 years his brothers John, Laurance and David, and his sister Abby gave a total of $2.85 million in support of his four state and three national campaigns. He said his stepmother, the late Martha Baird Rockefeller, gave him an average of $1.5 million for each of the seven campaigns.

In his opening statement, Chairman Cannon, noted that Rockefeller at first denied any personal involvement in the publication of the book, "Arthur J. Goldberg, the Old and the New," by Victor Lasky. Rockefeller later accepted "full responsibility" for the book, apologized to Goldberg for its allegedly derogatory content, and said Laurance Rockefeller had underwritten it for $60,000 as a business investment. Last month, a Rockefeller spokesman added that John Wells, a lawyer and longtime top political aide to Rockefeller, had arranged publication of the book by Arlington House and told Rockefeller about it early in the 1970 campaign. Rockefeller had said he paid no attention.

In his prepared testimony, Rockefeller changed some details of that account. He testified Wells told him he was promoting the book project on behalf of Lasky, a client, and was "looking for financial backers of a corporation he was setting up for this purpose." "I referred Jack Wells to my counsel, Donal O'Brien, and sent a message to my brother, Laurance, asking if he could help Jack Wells find some investors," Rockefeller said. He said his brother didn't have time to find other investors and, "simply authorized his people to underwrite the project while other investors were being Rockefeller called his own action hasty and ill-considered and added: "My mistake was that I should have killed this project in the beginning when Jack Wells brought it to me." On the subject of loans and gifts, Rockefeller said he gave William J. Ronan $40,000 and forgave a total of $510,000 in loans to Ronan after he left the governorship "in appreciation of his friendship and 18 years of association." Rockefeller said Ronan, whom he appointed the non- salaried chairman of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, needed the money to provide for his family after he retired. He denied that he was "trying to buy influence for some personal gain or personal power," and said Ronan was not in a position to do anything for him "except to enhance my capacity to serve the people of the state." Ronan served as Rockefeller's secretary or chief of staff as governor and then became chairman of the Metropolitan Transport Authority.

Rockefeller provided other explanations for additional gifts and loans. He made no mention of a $50,000 gift in 1969 to former Rockefeller aide Henry A. Kissinger, who became secretary of state. Rockefeller acknowleged that the main issue delaying his confirmation is "whether someone like myself who has whatever private power great wealth brings, should also be entrusted with the public power of the presidency." NOME, Alaska (AP) Communities along the storm- battered northwest Alaska coast braced for a second powerful storm today as flood waters began to recede. No casualties were reported after Bering Sea waves whipped inland by strong winds flooded sections of Nome and surrounding villages in what Gov.

William A. Egan called a "full scale disaster." Nome and some other communities along the coast were without adequate food, drinking water and power as the second storm approached. Early today forecasters at the National Weather Service in Anchorage were tracking a Little Danger Of Depression, Nessen Says WASHINGTON (AP) Administration officials, while admitting that the nation is entering a recession, say there is little danger of a depression. "We are not now in a recession, but new figures will probably indicate we are moving into a recession," Ron Nessen, President Ford's press secretary, said Tuesday. He said economic statistics for November will show a continued erosion of the nation's economy, which has been declining since the first of the year.

But there is little danger of the recession growing into a depression, according to Edgar Fiedler, an assistant secretary of the Treasury for economic affairs. "I would never rule out the i absolute possibility of a more decline, but in my own the possibility is very Fiedler said. He said he is hopeful the recession can reach its bottom by mid-1975 with an economic upturn after that. But he acknowledged, "I have no basis for forecasting it." Another administration economist, Sidney L. Jones, said the nation's unemployment rate could rise to 7 per cent without programs to help, such as Ford's proposed expanded public service employment program.

Congress is expected to enact an expanded program. Nessen indicated that the worsening economic outlook may cause President Ford to change some parts of his economic program, including the 5 per cent income surtax on upper-middle and upper incomes. "He's not wedded to the 5 per cent (surtax) but he is wedded to the principle that there must be some way to raise the money" to pay for such things as help for the unemployed, Nessen said. Fiedler argued there should be no major retreat from the fight against inflation. He said that "inflation is causing most of the weakness in the economy." New Record Price On Gold Is $185 LONDON (AP)-Gold hit a record $185 an ounce in London today.

The previous record of $184.50 was set last Friday. Gold has been soaring since July when the London price was as low as $131 an ounce. Project Independence' Downgraded WASHINGTON (AP) The Federal Energy Administration has sent President Ford a long menu of policy choices for reducing U.S. dependence on foreign oil, but the featured listings are conservation measures like extra gasoline taxes and restrictions on downtown parking. The 780-page "Project Independence" report published Tuesday by the FEA had been ordered by former President Richard M.

Nixon, who said it should be a "blueprint" for the United States to achieve independence from imported oil by 1980. However, the study later was downgraded to an "option paper" and it concludes that complete oil independence by 1980 is neither possible nor desirable. As expected the report drew mixed reviews. Interior Secretary Rogers C.B. Morton said the report "is an excellent beginning" on a national energy policy.

Mortn forced the ouster of FEA Administrator John C. Sawhill, who oversaw the compilation of the study. "Sound conservation practices will be combined with programs of research and development to provide the American people with a sound energy base during the decade ahead," Morton said. Thirteen citizen groups called it a "positive though faltering first step," while the National Coal Association termed it a "flawed document" that gives short shrift to coal. The study's suggestions on extra gasoline taxes and downtown parking restrictions theoretically would reduce gasoline consumption and make mass transit more attractive.

President Ford earlier this year rejected higher gasoline taxes, although some members of his administration support such a move. Reduced energy demand was one of three main strategies for lessening oil imports by 1985, the others being an acceleration of domestic fuel production and creation of oil stockpiles for protection against international blackmail by oil exporting countries. The report offered no recommendations, leaving that up to Morton as chairman of the President's cabinet- level Energy Resources Council. Other fuel-saving possibilities included in the report were: mandatory standard for 20-miles-per-gallon automobile performance. 25 per cent tax credit for insulating existing homes.

and cooling standards, lighting standards, and a 15 per cent energy- improvement investment credit for buildings. standards for appliances. supported by grams. to demonstrate and promote energy conservation standards for power plants. The report said energy conservation could quickly reduce dependence on oil imports and the dollar-drain; ease inflation; stretch domestic oil and gas supplies; and make other policy decisions more reliable.

commercial conservation, research pro- second storm front that ap- peered destined to follow closely the trail of the first hurricane-force winds. "Right now this second storm is near Adak Island in 3 the Aleutian chain and it's going eastward at a very fast rate," said forecaster Dave Evanson. "I think it will turn 8. northeastward and go into the western part of Alaska and follow the same pattern ex- cept we expect this one will be 3 more to the east and therefore more inland." -S Evanson said the storm center will come close to Nome but is likely to be a greater threat to surrounding villages. The weather service said flood waters in the area were dropping early today but portions of Nome which had been under five feet of water were still covered.

Some buildings were destroyed. Residents battled the floodwaters in high winds and freezing temperatures. The winds propelled huge waves inland Tuesday. Residents were trying frantically to sandbag Nome's electric power plant to keep water from the batteries powering teletype circuits and emergency phones the only links with the outside world. Emergency shelters were set up in schools in this town of 2, 500 on the Bering Sea.

"This town is hurt and hurt badly. But this town has been hurt before. It has always come back and will come back again," Mayor Robert Renshaw said Tuesday night. Wool Producers Vote Due Nov. 15 Audrain County wool producers are reminded that Nov.

15 is the final date to vote in the wool referendum. Eligible voters are reminded to mark and return their ballot by indicating "Yes" or "No" and indicating the number of sheep six months old or older which were owned continously during a single period of at least 30 days during 1973. If producers indicate approval in this referendum, deductions will be made from shorn and unshorn wool payments for promotion activities during 1974-1977, said Mrs. Mary Bosler, county ASCS executive director.

Arafat emerged from a door to the area of the assembly meeting hall and made his way to a room behind the podium. He later stopped outside and at the office assigned to the PLO and he and 10 or so other men kissed each other on the cheeks, an Arab custom.

There were several police and Coast Guard launches in the East River immediately behind the 39-story glass, steel and stone building. The 16-acre U.N. complex was closed to the public. Outsiders could enter only with special passes from a temporary outpost across the street. New York police canceled all days off and redistributed its manpower to concentrate on the midtown Manhattan area, where 16 PLO members were staying in the Waldorf Towers section of the Waldorf- Astoria Hotel.

Police used bomb-sniffing German shepherds to comb through the garage, elevators and five floors where 15 suites were reserved for the PLO delegation, but found nothing.
