Union President James Hoffa, who disappeared more than two months ago. Asked if he felt there should be a new congressional investigation of organized crime, Ford said that is up to Congress but that "I don't see how any congressional committee can undertake any criminal investigation." Key Democrats on Capitol Hill have said it would be irresponsible for them to set a ceiling on spending for the year starting next Oct. 1 before they receive Ford's new budget in late January.

Jackson leads the field in the number of reported property crimes.

Williams said the information will be used as a "benchmark" against data collected in the 1980 census. "There have been few comparative studies of Mississippi towns, and the only way to fully complete this project is to compare the 1970 data with the 1980 figures to see if there has been any improvement or deterioration in quality of life."

"I expect to be nominated and I think my prospects are excellent to get elected," he said.

Ford said he remains opposed to a ban on the manufacture and sale of handguns until "I am convinced that the gun itself is the culprit. In actuality, it is the person who uses the gun who causes the trouble." The President also said he has "full faith" in those carrying out the search for former Teamsters ISRAEL Continued From Page 1 ernment officials signed for the Israelis. Irish U.N. Capt. Patrick McCamm distributed three copies of the three-page document for signing as the sun turned red over the Suez Gulf.

"I would ask you upon receipt of this copy to read it and sign it if you find everything satisfactory," he said in the only official statement of the ceremony. Elisha Roih, field manager of the Israeli Netivei Neft which has been operating the fields, said the Americans had to check the list of what was being turned over with Egyptian authorities in Cairo by U.N. radio before agreeing to sign for the Egyptian government. The Mobil Oil men, looking after the field for Egypt, are to store the oil at Ras Sudr for the General Petroleum Co. of Egypt.

Arab oil workers were still barred from the fields until Nov. 16, Jay Travis III, chairman of the 1974 Law Institute sponsored by the Jackson Young Lawyers Association, reports the Jackson group won a National Award of Achievement at the recent American Bar Association convention in Montreal.
