WASHINGTON (UPI) -Stealing the march on President Ford's State of the Union proposals, congressional Democrats will present their own program Monday to end the nation's economic crisis through a tax cut and eight other major reforms within the next 90 days. The program includes proposals for a tough wage and price control program, possible gasoline rationing, increased credit. the Democratic Steering and Policy Committee. Rep. Jim Wright, was chairman of the group, named by Speaker Carl Albert.

Challenging Congress to take the initiative immediately rather than wait for presidential proposals, the program criticizes economic policies of the Nixon administration as "cruel" and indirectly calls those of the Ford administration "half-way" and "timid." additional public service jobs and an emergency housing program. If the more traditional measures do not show significant progress in reducing interest rates by mid-summer, the plan says, Congress should consider enacting a progressive tax on the income derived from interest rates of 9 per cent and above. The seven-page document was prepared by a task force of He said the purpose of both actions is to serve notice on the Communists that U.S. support continues for the Saigon government. In the ground war, military sources Sunday said government forces have cleared the main road from Saigon to Tay Ninh City, opening the way for refugees to resume their flight to Saigon.

The sources said government infantrymen from both sides of the roadblock linked up late Over North Vietnam U.S. Flights Seen 'Say The Secret Word SAIGON (UPI) U.S. aircraft have been making regular reconnaissance flights over North Vietnam and Communist-held territory in the south in violation of the Vietnam peace agreement, a high-ranking American source said American aircraft carriers and other warships also have made regular forays into the waters off South Vietnam during the same period, the source said. day. The winner reportedly was to receive a portable television set and a one-year supply of cheap cigars.

"For too long has the economy been allowed to drift, devoid of purposeful direction," said the plan, which was obtained by columnist Jack Anderson and made available to UPI. "The critical problems of this immediate time will not yield to half-way measures, timid initiatives or public relations appeals to voluntarism. The nation at this juncture could ill afford a passive Congress which did no more than await and then react in leisurely, peacemeal fashion to executive recommendations. "The public expects and is fully entitled to a coordinated program of legislative action beginning immediately and clearly designed to rebuild a healthy and stable economy in the United States." The Democratic presentation will come two days before Ford's State of the Union address, in which the President plans to unveil his own nsw programs for coping with the twin ills of inflation and recession. Saying "we do not believe that the nation has grown old and tired and incapable of a vigorous economic revival," Democratic leaders said they planned to insist that a number of their proposed measures be dealt with "very quickly." First among these was tax reform and relief.

"The quickest way to generate the added purchasing power needed to counter the current recession and to ease the burden of those most damaged by inflation is through tax relief for low and middle income families," the plan said. "This can be achieved by increasing the personal income tax exemption, the standard deduction and minimum income allowance, by reducing the weight of payroll tax liabilities upon the working poor and-or by a system of individual tax credits." Federal income lost in such reforms "should be recouped to the extent reasonably possible by closing the loopholes that now ename large corporations and wealthy individuals to pay little or no taxes at all," it said. With moustaches, heavy eyebrows and huge cigars, hundreds of young men turned up at a local television station in Boston, Mass. to compete in a Groucho Marx look-alike contest being held Sun Forceful Intervention Not Ruled Out In Oil Crisis Ford Backs Kissinger Position Food Price Hike Analysis Urged Saturday when the Communists "just disappeared" after closing the highway earlier in the day. Tay Ninh, 75 miles northwest of Saigon, is clogged with refugees who fear the city is the next target of the Communists, following their takeover of Phuoc Binh last Tuesday.

The reconnaissance flights over North Vietnam violate the 1973 pact signed in Paris, by Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and North Vietnamese negotiator Le Due Tho. The first paragraph of that agreement said "the United States shall cease immediately, completely and indefinitely aerial reconnaissance over the territory of the Democratic Republic of (North) Vietnam." The United States halted all such flights over South and North Vietnam after Kissinger signed the communique, the source said, but they were resumed last winter "when it became clear they (the Communists) were stepping up the war and infiltration of troops and arms into the south." He said SR71 spy planes have made regular flights over North Vietnam, including Hanoi and Haiphong. In South Vietnam, the source said, pilotless drone aircraft with long-range cameras have been sent over Viet Cong aeas just below tfie border of North Vietnam. News WASHINGTON (UPI) President Ford agrees with Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger that the United States would not rule out forceful intervention in the Middle East "if the free world or the industrialized world would be strangled" by an oil crisis, Time magazine reported Sunday.

But the President cautioned that his answer supporting Kissinger was based on "a very, hypothetical question." He emphasized that Kissinger "didn't say force would be used to bring a price change." Attacks OnNixon Rapped SAN CLEMENTE. Calif. (LPI.i Ronald Ziegler. declaring he is "fed up with Richard Nixon taking it in the ear." said Nixon has become the target of vindictiveness and President Ford probably doesn't know it. the Los Angeles Times reported Sunday Ziegler.

the 35-year-old former White House press secretary who is about to leave his post as Nixon's chief of staff, lashed out at some member of Congress and the Ford Administration in a lengthy Times interview. "I feel very strongly that what is happening to this man today despite Watergate is not right," Ziegler said. "It's the first American political exile," he said. "You only have to be here to sense it is exile the abandonment by Iriends, the isolation, the vindictiveness of some in Washington, including some in Congress and some in the Ford White House." Ziegler said to his knowledge President Ford has only called Nixon three times since his Aug. 9 resignation, once last week to wish him a happy 62nd birthday.

He said Ford probably had no idea to what extent Nixon was being mistreated. Ziegler characterized as absurd a statement by current White House press secretary Ron Nessen that Nixon would be billed $8,440 for part of the flight in Air Force One after he resigned. The jet was over Jefferson City, Mo. when the presidency changed hands. "For anybody in the White House to say that Richard Nixon should pay for his flight from Jefferson City to San Clemente it's absurd," Ziegler said.

"It would seem to me that any rational mind would say, 'Well, of course Yet, it is suggested. It is unbelievable. "He was President when he left Washington. What was he going to do alight in Jefferson City and make his way out here by train?" Ziegler also said he was appalled that White House aides and others in the federal government had refused to forward Nixon's mail and personal property including his high school papers despite five months of efforts to obtain them. "What is happening to Richard Nixon as a human being" as a result of such treatment is "very serious," Ziegler said, "The fact that he has survived this period to me is remarkable.

"He resigned in disgrace," Ziegler said. "He is certainly a beaten man. What severity of penalty does this society want from a leader?" CIA Panel To Begin Meetings WASHINGTON (UPI) An eight member presidential panel headed by Vice President Nelson A. Rockefeller will hold its first meeting Monday in an investigation to determine whether the CIA engaged in widespread illegal domestic spying the Rockefeller commission, under orders to report by April 4, is expected to hear CIA director William Colby, former director Richard Helms, Defense Secretary James Schles-inger and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger during the six hour closed door session. David Belin of Des Moines, Iowa, a former counsel for the Warren Commission which investigated the assassination of John F.

Kennedy, is expected to serve as the panel's executive director. A Rockefeller spokesman said much of the first meeting will be devoted to organizational matters, but added that because the vice president wants to get "right down to work" on the CIA probe, "substantive issues" will be taken up. The radical activist Yippie organization said Sunday it plans a demonstration and guerrilla theater outside the Executive Office Building Monday to protest what they said they expect to be a "whitewash of illegal CIA domestic surveillance, infiltration, and disruption against political dissidents." hospital worker outside the church shouted: "How about providing some jobs for the American people, Mr. President." Ford, who had decided only a day earlier on the shape of his new programs to help the nation's economic and energy ills, gave no indication he heard the shout. The youth who asked Ford the question, Peter Kimball, 22, an admissions clerk at George Washington Hospital, told reporters later "this church service is all very nice, but the President ought to be spending more time getting Americans back to work." A White House spokesman said Ford planned to spend the afternoon in the Oval Office watching the Super Bowl and polishing the State of the Union Towards Achieving Politic al Settlement Cyprus Progress Reported Digest WASHINGTON (UPI) Congress should begin an immediate investigation of rising food prices to spark competition in processing and retailing, a Senate committee recommended Sunday.

The committee, looking into U.S. food availability and pricing policies, also urged an immediate 63 per cent increase in price supports for wheat and corn to spur needed production increases this year. The report by the Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs, headed by Sen. George McGovern, said Congress should get an immediate analysis of price increases in food processing and retailing industries during 1974. Any evidence of collusive prices or price increases attributable to scant competition in the food business should be turned over to an administrative law judge, it added.

The investigation could help restore competition to food processing and retailing, the committee said The report was critical of the large number of corporations involved in farming and suggested the consumer and the small farmer both would benefit from Congressional passage of a Family Farm Act to prohibit farming or control of farming by any non-farm business with assets of more than $3 million. On price supports, the panel said target prices for wheat should be raised from the current $2.05 per bushel to $3.35, with the corn target going from $1.88 to $2.25 a bushel. Such increases, although below current market prices for both commodities, would give farmers the assurance that if all-out production increased supplies and sent prices plunging, they would still receive a reasonable return for their product. The target price concept is a support level announced before the growing season begins. If market prices after harvest average below the target, the government pays farmers the difference.

Sen. Herman Talmadge, chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, has already announced plans to initiate hearings on new farm legislation including higher target prices shortly after the return of the new Congress. The House Agriculture Committee also is scheduled to hold early hearings on the proposal. In other recommendations to encourage farmers to produce more food, McGovern's committee suggested expanding acreage allotments to allow more planting on present pasturelands, and creation of a meteorological task force, with both government and private members, to analyze weather prospects in the U.S. and the world for 1975.

Asked to define "strangled," Ford said: "Strangulation, if you translate it into the terms of a human being, means that you are just about on your back." Time interviewed the President last week in the Oval Office. Like millions of other Americans. Ford went to church Sunday and settled down to watch the Super Bowl on television. The service Ford attended at St. Johns Episcopal Church across Lafayette Square from the White House was a special Kissinger said the Cyprus situation had progressed beyond the point where conciliatory gestures from Turkey were needed to get political discussions going among the parties.

The Steeler defensive line, responding to the frenzied cries of "defense, defense from its supporters in the crowd of nearly 81,000, completely stymied Minnesota. The Steeler defense pounded and harassed Viking quarterback Fran Tarkenton as they became the sixth American Conference club in the last seven years to defeat its National Conference opponent in the Super Bowl.

Archbishop William Baum steered clear of any political topics in his sermon, stressing instead the important advances of the ecumenical movement and the need for Christians of all denominations to work together in making a better world. The only jarring element of the morning came as Ford was getting into his blue limousine after the service, when a young in Brussels on Dec.

"In light of these developments, I believe we have progressed beyond the point where gestures are needed as a means of getting negotiations launched." The Ford Administration is anxious to see progress emerge from the talks since Congress amended the foreign aid act to require a cut-off of military aid to Turkey by Feb.5 unless substantial progress is made towards a settlement. The President and Kissinger both proposed the restriction. They have said they consider Turkey a key NATO ally in the eastern Mediterranean, and called the projected cutoff extremely unwise.

The State Department last week welcomed the decision of Cyprus' acting President Glaf-kos derides, leader of the Greek Cypriot community, and Vice President Rauf Denktash, leader of the Turkish Cypriot community, to begin political discussions Jan. 14. High State Department officials said they hoped the expanded talks may eventually involve both Greece and Turkey and lead eventually to a satisfactory peace settlement on Cyprus. electorate. His Democratic opponent also underestimated the vitality and popularity of the Rhodes campaign.

Rhodes easily defeated his closest rival, former State Rep. Charles Fry, R-Springfield, in the May, 1974 Republican primary and launched an intense campaign against Gilligan and what he called Gilligan's mismanagement of state affairs, especially in the fiscal arena. Rhodes, during most of the campaign, conducted his own type of highly personalized campaign which saw him visit most county fairs, make hundreds of luncheon and dinner speeches and keep up a daily association with as many Ohioans as posssible. Set address he will deliver to a joint session of Congress Wednesday. He said Ford would meet with Presidential Counselor Donald Rumsfeld and other White House staffers during the afternoon.

The President and Mrs. Ford arrived at St. Johns just before the service started. The pastor of the church, the Rev. John C.

Harper, told the congregation swelled by many Roman Catholic visitors that he knew of no previous instance when an archbishop had attended St. Johns. Baum said in his sermon that the past few years have brought about many changes within all Christian churches. "This morning does, I believe, illustrate what we share in common," he said. "We feel at home with you.

There has been great progress in understanding." Israeli Units Conduct Raid Into Lebanon By United Press International Israeli forces stabbed into southern Lebanon Sunday on an overnight search-and-destroy mission against Arab guerrillas and blew up roads and water pipes near three villages, the Israeli command said Sunday. One guerrilla was killed near the village of Hebbariah, four miles north of the frontier, the command said. Israel reported no casualties in the first reported ground raid across the border in 10 days. The command said the raiders blew up roads leading to Kfar Chouba, Hebbariah and Cheba, isolating the villages and disrupting guerrilla traffic, and cutting two water pipes near two of the villages. Later in the day, Lebanese newsmen said Israeli artillery shelled Kfar Chouba, Hebbariah and three other nearby villages.

There was no report of casulties or damages. The Palestine News Agency WAFA said in Beirut guerrilla units clashed with the Israeli force and inflicted "heavy casualties." It put guerrilla losses at three wounded and two missing. WAFA said the Israeli force numbered about 200, with support from armored cars, and withdrew under cover of artillery fire which lasted until the morning. "Helicopters were seen evacuating the Israeli casualties," WAFA said. WASHINGTON (UPI) -Secretary of State Henry A.

Kissinger reported "some progress" toward achieving a political settlement on strife-torn Cyprus in a letter released Sunday, so no further Congressional gestures such as cutting off military aid to Turkey are needed.

The young Steelers playing for their first National Football League title since their inception in 1933, threw up a tight defense against the Vikings and completely rattled them, making Minnesota the only team to ever lose three Super Bowls.
