Globe- Jut II, Itli Ford Confers With Giscard; Warns of inflation, Recession MARKETS! foeTTUCARIES 0v TM SAN JUAN. Puerto Rico (AP) President Ford is urging America's chief industrial allies to go slow on social welfare spending lest they revive inflation and lead to a new global recession. Ford spoke at the opening session of economic summit talks here on Sunday. A final round began today following a breakfast conference between Ford and French President Valery Giscard d'Estaing. The two leaders met after the U.S.

President got up early for a swim at the luxurious Dorado Beach resort west of here. There was no word on what Ford and Giscard discussed, but they and other world leaders at the summit reportedly were talking about a possible aid program for economically striken Italy. Ford convened the seven-nation economic summit on Sunday saying: "The global inflationary climate resulted in large part because governments overcomrnitted themselves to ameliorate social inequities at home and abroad and to achieve an ever-rising standard of living." Alan Greenspan, chairman of Ford's Council of Economic Advisers, said the President argued that governments were "too ambitious in what they actually attempted to achieve as well as in the expectations they raised." Greenspan said Ford certainly favors rising living standards but believes they are threatened when inflation gets out of hand. Ford's aides declined to report the reaction of the government chiefs of Britain, Canada, France, Italy, Japan and West Germany to Ford's statement. However, all their finance ministers have already endorsed the idea of moderating economic recovery, even at the cost of continued high unemployment, in order to dampen inflation.

The 24-hour summit at the Dorado Beach Hotel ends Monday afternoon with a communique, but it was expected to contain nothing startling. said he convened the conference to continue the dialogue begun at a similar meeting last November at Rarn- bouillet, France. State Department counselor Helmut Sonnenfeldt told reporters the purpose was "not so much to" solve the technical problems (raised by recent economic and financial developments) but to demonstrate the level of concern with these "The President is well satisfied that this great spirit and excellent sense of responsibility has carried over" since Rambouillet, Sonnenfeldt said. A high-ranking Canadian official said U.S. officials also discussed creation of a "supplemental assistance" program to provide aid to industrial nations in acute financial difficulties.

The first beneficiaries would be Britain and Italy. About 15,000 supporters of Puerto Rican independence demonstrated out- side the main entrance to the hotel during the opening of the conference Sunday. The demonstration was peaceful, and the crowd did not get within half a mile of the building where the meeting was being held. VFW Convention Draws 200 More By STEVE UPRADE Globe-News Staff Writer Two hundred more the state convention of Veterans of Foreign Wars here than the same convention last year in Fort Worth. The announcement was made today by Herman Constable Jr.

of Houston, who was named state VFW commander during the convention of 8,000 total people held here Thursday through yesterday. "It was an orderly, well-planned convention," said Constable. "Ed Fleming of Post 1475 (here) was convention chairman." Constable announced that during the convention sessions yesterday, his organization passed several resolutions, including one calling for a national defense "second to none." Another resolution was passed opposing release of control of the Panama Canal. "We bought and paid for the Panama and we should keep it," Constable said. "Our organization does not endorse political candidates, But individually, we should take a real good look at the candidates.

If they are not strongly in favor of freedom and a strong national defense, we have a perfect right to vote against them." Other resolutions called for giving Planned Development Has Grand Opening The Shores--a planned development with single-family and garden homes in addition to 236 apartments--has been completed on a 95.4-acre site at S. Georgia and 58th Avenue. The completion of the project, which began in January by Huckaby Homes, was marked Friday by a ribbon cutting ceremony and a Grand Opening yesterday, featuring the appearance of the Khiva Clowns. The development, which has 295 homes, will feature a swimming pool and tennis courts, a 6-acre man-made lake, a ball park and hiker-biker paths. Involved in the project with Huckaby Homes was Imperial Savings of Amarillo.

HERMAN CONSTABLE, JR. the Vietnam veterans continued GI Bill benefits to match those given veterans of earlier wars and opposing granting of amnesty to those who went to foreign countries as deserters or draft evaders during the Vietnam conflict. "They are still traitors," he said. Constable complained that the press, nationally, notes controversies, such as the VFW membership being closed to women, but overlooks the group's good work. He cited several million dollars in scholarships given by the VFW at the national, state and post level and a VFW home for orphans in Eaton Rapids.

Mich. Constable said lack of knowledge and reluctance to mix with older men may explain what, until recently, was a lack of Vietnam veterans joining service groups like the VFW. "They're now coming in," Constable said. "They will be the VFW leaders of tomorrow." WASffliNGTON (UPI) The Supreme Court ruled 6 to 2 today that schools under desegregation plans need not readjust attendance zones annually once they are in compliance, even though other phases of discrimination have not been fully corrected. The opinion by Justice William H.

Rehnquist came in a case from Pasadena, which has been trying to free itself from court supervision. A 1970 desegregation order required that there would not be a majority of any minority race in any school. This status was achieved in the first year, although other terms of the order were not met. In what is expected to be the last week of its current term, the court also ruled 6 to 2 that non-lawyers may serve as judges in small rural courtrooms if the state affords a whole new trial befcre a lawyer-judge on appeal. In cases important to state civil servants, the court ruled that patronage employes in non-policymaking government jobs may not be fired solely because a new political party takes of- fice, and that federal civil rights law allows payment of retroactive retirement benefits to public employes against whom a state has discriminated.

In the Pasadena case, Rehnquist relied on a comprehensive 1971 Supreme Court opinion which said adjustments of the racial 5 Toscoso Students To At fend Convention Five Tascosa High School students will join about 2.500 other students at the 33rd Annual Key Club International Convention in Anaheim. July 4 7. The students are James Daniel, president of the Tascosa club; Terry- Bod if ord. vice president; Sam Jones and Randy Light, members, and Stan Soderstrom, district secretary of the Texas-Oklahoma district. The convention members will also visit Knott's Berry Farm July 4 and visit Disneyland on July 6.

composition of student bodies are not required once the affirmative duty to desegregate has been achieved. The dissenters contended that this duty should include all objectives, including the hiring and promotion of teachers and administrators. The unsuccessful challenge to non- lawyer judges came from Kentucky, which uses a system of non-lawyen for misdemeanors in small cities and towns. Over 30 states have a similar system at the lowest rung of the criminal court ladder. The patronage case, from Chicago, was said by the dissenters to essentially make the patronage system unconstitutional.

The majority held that at lestst in non-policymaking decisions, a government employe may not be fired simply for his private political beliefs even if he is not covered by civil service laws. The court also ruled unanimously that the federal government is not obligated to examine the broad regional impact of granting coal mine leases in the northern Great Plains. Syrians Move More Troops Into War-Ravaged Lebanon BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) Syria moved 4,000 more troops and a new tank column into Lebanon today, guerrilla spokesmen reported, as heavy fighting in the civil war raged on in east Beirut. The guerrillas said a Syrian infantry brigade of 3,500 men supported by a tank column rolled across Lebanon's northeastern border overnight and laid siege to the Moslem town of Hermal. 65 miles northeast of Beirut.

A WO-man Syrian battalion attacked th town of Arsal, south of Hermal, they said. The reported reinforcements would bring the total of Syrian troops in Lebanon to 16,500. Leftist Moslem gunners of the renegade Lebanese Arab Army pounded Beirut's seaport with 155mm howitzers, setting a lumber warehouse Black smoke covered the burning port area where fire engines were on- able to retch because of savaie battles in the neigh- boring downtown commercial center. The Moslem's Beirut Radio said the Parachutist Killed On Pint SEAGOVILLE, Tex. (AP) A Dallas parachutist making his first free- fall jump plunged more than 3,000 feet to his death Sunday when he apparently panicked and failed to pull the rip cord, authorities said.

Investigators said Barry George Thomas, 25, of Dallas fell to his death near the Seagoville Airport about 6:30 p.m. Deputy Sheriff Darrell Queen said Thomas, who recently joined the Dallas Parachute Club, apparently panicked when he reached for the rip cord and grabbed the parachute harnesa instead. A member of the parachute club Thomas was making his first free-fall jump after completing five static-line jumps. Thomas was pronounced dead on arrival at a Dallas hospital Lebanese Arab Army also shelled Junieh, the Christian's unofficial capital Sunday night. It said the force, made up of deserters from the disintegrated Lebanese Army, knocked out the water plant at the port 12 miles north of Beirut.

The Lebanese Arab Army said in a statement "ThU is only the beginning. We shall continue to hit Junieh mercilessly until the Christian political leaders come to a roundtable conference." It was the first extensive shelling of Junieh and the neighborhood where Christian President Suleiman Franjieh set up temporary headquarters after shelling drove him out of the official palace in March. Leftists said the shelling of Junieh and Beirut's port were in retaliation for a Christian attack on the airport that closed the facility and frustrated plans to airlift in more Arab peacekeeping forces from nations to try to end the warfare. 57 51 Eastman ilPiioNG Exxon' FalrchlldGam Fora GtnEltc Gtn Foods GtnMtrt GtnTtl GtnTirt Goodrich GrtatAlP Quit Oil Hart-Mk II 122 Moui LP IBM ini Paptr Jhn-Man John Jon Litton Marathon Marcor Mobil Oil Monunto Ptnn Penney Phill Pet RCA Sony StdOIICi Stand ind Sun Co Texaco Texas inst UnCarbide USStttl Woolworth Xerox 30 l3Va 1VV 276 SO 7 55 STOCKS OF LOCALIMTEMIST Quotations it approximately 10 t.m.
