One of the major points in Rockefeller's talk was that the Soviet Union was, in his opinion, "pretty anxious" to see the Paris peace talks succeed. Asked if the Soviet Union was impeding the talks, Rockefeller laid it was China that wished to prolong the Vietnam war. He then suggested that the United States open talks with China but did not elaborate on the subject of such talks. He did not suggest recognition of Red China in the United Nations. Rockefeller flew by helicopter from New York City to Ripple- 'brook Farm, where an outdoor tent had been erected.

At the same meeting UW pres- dent Fred Harvey Harrington served notice he would consider measures to control activities Of non-students on campus.

"The German resistance and the women and men who martyred their lives or their health for this cause saved the German people from collective guilt for the unspeakable inhumanity of the Nazis," Haekkerup declared. The main German speaker, West Berlin Schuetz, was Mayor not so Klaus certain about this. He said that it is not enough merely to honor those Germans who perished because of the unsuccessful conspiracy of 1944.

"We are obligated to them to ask on July 20, 1968, what failed to happen on this day in the year 1944," Sohuetz said. "We are obligated to ask the motives of those who did not act then." Sohuetz, a social democrat, included in his speech thinly- veiled criticism of the ultra- rightist National Democratic party, called Neo-Nazi by some of its critics. He also appealed to Germans of different political views to work together to make a success of "the Federal second and indeed still very young democra cy."

Renk and several other regents complained the paper was "un-American," obscene, and that non-student staff members of the paper were infiltrating visiting high school classes on the UW campus. When UW Vice President Robert Clodius objected to possible censorship on campus, Ren retorted, "I'm not so sure we shouldn't set ourselves up as censors." The regents agreed to accept grants, gifts and contracts valued at $11.9 million. The largest grant, nearly $1.5 million, was provided by the National Institute of Health for continued operation of the Wisconsin Regional Primate Center in Madison.

Signs Indicate Slowdown in Economy By ACK LEFLER AP BwbMM Writer NEW YORK (AP) New statistics indicated this past week that the economy is slowing down somewhat. This would be in line with predictions of many economiatt that during the second half of this year the rate of growth will be more subdued. The latest cover I OroM National Product the operating rate of factories, the corporate rate of profits, business inventories, industrial production and housing starts.

The GNP total of all goods and services rose in the three months ended June 30 by $19.4 billion to a record annual rate of $850.1 billion. But its increase was a bit below the bJlioo gain in the first quarter. In connection with the GNP, Assistant Secretary of Commerce i 11 i a H. Chartener said a sharp slowdown in final sales in the second quarter and a rise in inventories suggests the economy is entering a period of "orderly cooling." The Federal Reserve Board reported the factory operating rate slipped in the second quarter to M. 5 per cent of capacity from par cent io the first quarter.

The aecond-quarter average vaa off from per cent a year earlier. Hie annual rate of corporate profits after taxes dropped in the first quarter to $49.1 billion from 160.3 billion in the previous quarter, the Commerce Department said. The department attributed the decline to the new retroactive income tax. Another' Commerce Depart- ment report showed business inventories rose much more slowly in May than duirng April, while sales posted a strong gain. The report said the $670 million increase in stocks of all businesses in May was only about half the $1.49 billion gain iu April but was well above the $350 million average for the first quarter.

Combined sales of manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers advanced by I per cent to a record billion in May after a decline in April to $03.57 billion. Industrial production climbed in June to a record for the second straight month, but the gain was much less than in May another supporting factor for forecasts that the economy will cool in the second half. The Federal Reserve said the June index of factory, mine and utility output rose 0.9 per cent to an annual rate of 164.4 per cent of the 1957-59 average. The gain in May was 1.6 per cent. Housing starts fell during June for the second straight month to their lowest level of the year.

The Commerce Department said the annual rate of 1.31 million units was off about 2.5 per cent from May. In an effort tp infuse strength kito home building and the economy, the federal government acted to make it easier that savings and loan and mu tual savings banks which ar members of the Federal Re serve System must retain as reserve. The chief economist of the Na tional Association of Mutual Savings Banks, Dr. Saul B. Kla man, predicted an early end the housing decline.

The government will ease its regulations to permit the savings and loan industry to offer an additional $600 million to the public in home loans. This will be accomplished by reducing to "Fueled by availability of the increasec credit, housin starts are once again poised the threshold of a significant vance," he said. Automobile production th past week fell to an estimate 155,100 passenger cars, down per cent from 175,132 last weel as the industry moved furthe into the changeover period for 1969 models. Steel production last week slipped 1.1 per cent to 2.667,000 Yank Official Denies Tieup with Czechs WASHINGTON (AP) State Department says a Moscow newspaper's implication hat the United States is supplying arms and attempting to subvert Czechoslovakian democratization is "utterly false." Press officer Robert J.

Me- loskey used those words Friday to describe charges in the newspaper Pravda, and noted Secretary of State Dean Rusk's statement that the United States has not involved itself in any way in the Czechoslovakian situation. Pravda charged a "secret cache" of U. S. made weapons had been found in the East European country and that Pentagon and Central Intelligence Agency plans were discovered aimed at subverting "unstable elements" in Czechoslovakia. Some U.

S. officials expressed concern the Russians are using expressions similar to those before the 1956 Hungarian uprising was crushed. Koreans Smash Enemy Spy Ring SEOUL (AP) South Korea's Central Intelligence Agency announced today the arrest of 27 persons accused of operating a spy network that set the groundwork for North Korean guerrilla raids.
