The biggest byproduct of the cautious, uncertain mood among the nation's businessmen is effiency. Many firms say ST. JOHN-Public television broadcasting from a more powerful Channel 50 to eight Indiana counties and three Illinois counties will begin at 3 p.m.

Monday. Station WCAE-TV obtained Federal Communications Commission approval to start transmission from its new 464-foot tower in north Hammond. "This is the culmination of the promises we have made to the Calumet Region," station manager Louis Iaconetti said. Setbacks and problems have prolonged the station's switch to full power at 129th Street and Calumet Avenue. The increase to 2.3 million watts will reach a potential viewing audience of 5 million people-putting it in the third largest market in the U.S.

The signal will extend east to Michigan City, south beyond Rensselaer, and west and north into Illinois. Broadcasting strength has been limit ed to 14,000 watts, serving about one-half million viewers within a 15-mile radius of the St. John based tower. The station will have network color, but will continue local coverage in black and white. "As soon as color cameras are obtained, we will be able to transmit local color," Iaconetti said.

The U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare granted the station $231,148 in federal matching funds to build the new facility. Television studios will remain in Lake Central High School. The Lake Central School Board is the station's licensee. American Oil Company leased a five-acre tract to WCAE for the transmitter and tower in September 1970, for ten years at $1 a year.

The oil company pays the taxes. Youngstown Sheet and Tube donated the transmitter building. JL they're watching costs more closely than ever. "We've become super-careful about what we buy and when we buy it," says Robert Harrison, president of John Wanamaker, a Philadelphia-based department store chain. "There just isn't any room for sloth," says Bernard Gordon, manager of Seattle's Jafco Catlog Shopping Service.

Many bankers, meanwhile, report that consumers also are changing financial habits because of money's expense. Sophistication about money is increasing, they say. "The consumer today reads business news, watches the market, checks interest rates and puts his money where he can make the most," says Ed Penick, head of Arkansas' biggest bank, Worthen Bank Trust Co. Retailers and manufacturers say they're feeling the pressure of tight and therefore expensive money in various ways. "We were four days late in paying an invoice recently," says Stanley Waldheim, president of a large Milwaukee furniture store.

"And we had three long distance calls from the controller of that company, wanting to know where our check was. Everybody's uptight. The pressure is on. "Sixty days ago we could get all the money we wanted, but had to pay the price. Now we can pay the price, but the money's not available.

The banks are loaned out." Says Waldheim, "We used to cater to customers who bought on time," he notes.

She is a first-year student at the university's medical Credit "That's how we made money. Now it's completely reversed. We're seeking the customer who can pay cash." At the same time some bankers report consumers are seeking more credit.

"People are getting more in hock than they used to." says Newman Wait president of the Adirondack Trust Saratoga Springs, N.Y. Paradoxically, though inflation is making dollars less valuable every day, businessmen are crying over money's cost and scarcity. High interest rates are forcing some to postpone expansion. Gabe Rutherford, an Arkansas steel fabricator, says, "I'd like to (expand) but I'm fearful that if i borrow at 10 per cent it (interest) might go down to 9 per cent. I'd hate that.

That's one of the main reasons we're not building now." Nor do many manufacturers foresee easy money soon. While short-term interest rates may decline over the next three months, they expect long-term rates to remain high and perhaps even rise. inventories, representing goods paid for but not yet sold, are also getting close attention because of high carrying costs. Some businessmen, like Rutherford, are fearful that inventories are going to rise, helping accelerate the business downturn. Others say they're watching turnover closely.

In Kansas City, grocer Harvey Jacobsen says inflation has changed eating habits, causing him to watch carefully what people are buying and lower the amount of merchandise on hand. site and several in Cowies Bog. The $1 million monitoring program will run for four years, NIPSCO officials said. According to the interveners, the east wall of the proposed plant would be 800 feet from the western boundary of Cowies Bog. NIPSCO engineers give the distance as one to two miles.

"Cowies Bog is part of a large wet land area that runs into the NIPSCO property," Osann said. Intervenors feel draining necessary for construction at the shoreline site would affect the entire wetland area. Although maintaining that the excavation for the 660-megawatt plant would not drain Cowies Bog, NIPSCO asked the AEC for permission to build a "slurry wall." The underground water barrier-the first to be used in this country-would reach down 50 feet to the clay subsoil. The wall would prevent drawing of water from nearby areas. Attorneys for both sides will submit briefs before oral arguments are made at the Dec.

11 hearings. The hearings will be full scale in nature and not limited to the wall. Temperature Cool Today While the Calumet Region enjoys cool and cloudy weather, most of the central and eastern Great Lakes area will have snow. It will be cold in the East and Northwest with mild weather in the Southwest. SATURDAY'S TEMPERATURES: High, 51, Low, 35.

MONDAY'S FORECAST: High, 60, Low, 30. WASHINGTON (AP) First Lady Betty Ford waved down from the balcony to some of the 6,000 visitors who took advantage of a Saturday afternoon garden tour of the White House south grounds. Mrs. Ford, who is recovering from cancer surgery, was the only member of the family at home. She made an appearance on the Truman balcony, wearing a red wool dress with a bright scarf around the neck, about mid-afternoon.

And she also waved to a group of 60 Vietnam veterans from area hospitals who got an advance tour. Studyin rr In Sun Rocky Owes Income, Gift (Continued From Page One) required him to pay an additional $820,718 in federal income taxes and an additional $83,000 in federal gift taxes, virtually all of it because of the disallowed deductions. That compared with the in back incomes taxes, plus $30,000 in interest, that former President Richard M. Nixon had to pay when the IRS audited his tax returns earlier this year. The principal items disallowed by the IRS were $824,598 in deductions for office and investment expenses, and $420,649 in deductions for charitable contributions, largely relating to unreimbursed expenses of a 1970 trip Rockefeller took to Latin America for the Nixon administration.

There was no indication of the specifics of the deductions disallowed by the IRS. There also was no indication of any illegality. $2.8 Million races, at the heart of which are 47 districts nearly half of them concentrated in the eight Midwestern states in which labor is backing a direct challenge against Republican office holders. In 1970, the report said, 54 labor organizations reported over-all political expenditures of $5.2 million during the entire election year. "With $4.8 million already spent, and another $4.7 million in cash on hand, the expenditures by labor this year should be an all-time record," the citizens' foundation said.

The $4.8 million includes the $2.8 million in direct political contributions plus an estimated $2 million for administrative expenses, staff salaries, office rentals and printing costs, according to foundation spokesman Kent Cooper. The labor organizations accounted for 80 per cent of the total contributions listed in the report. leading the list of contributors was the AKlz-CIO's political arm, the Committee for Political Education, which so far has spent $513,497 and has another $170,733 on hand.

Nixon and Spiro T. Agnew has given accused criminals a new argument in their pleas for freedom. U.S. attorneys from across the Country said that defense lawyers are raising the Nixon and Agnew cases more and more often as they urge juries to acquit their clients and petition judges for light sentences. Some prosecutors suspect that juries on occasion have refused to convict a Starvation To Spread? WASHINGTON AP) Mass starvation will occur throughout the world if food production is not intensified and population patterns are not changed, says a House subcommittee.

"Unless present trends in population growth and food production are sign-ficantly altered, a food crisis that will have the potential to affect everyone from every walk of life will hit with more impact than the energy crisis of 1973-74," the House Agriculture subcommittee on department operations said in a report released Saturday. "In all probability, the world can expect more, rather than less, disasters associated with malnutrition," it said. "The world food crisis will not disappear spontaneously or soon and maybe never." The subcommittee said that shortages of land, water, fertilizer and energy could aggravate the food crisis, and warned that the United States could find itself in the midst of the problem. "Americans cannot afford to sit idly by thinking that this problem does not affect us," the report said. Labor Gives WASHINGTON (AP) Labor unions have contributed more than $2.8 million to House and Senate candidates this year and have an additional $4.7 million to spend with the elections only three weeks off, a private research group reported Saturday.

The group called the total of labor money an all-time record. Twenty-three Senate candidates received more than $10,000 with seven getting more than $50,000, according to the study by the Citizens' Research Foundation of Princeton, N.J. Sen. Howard Metzenbaum, the top recipient, received $168,700 from labor unions in his losing bid against former astronaut John Glenn in the Ohio Democratic primary Glenn received $75,400 from labor. Organized labor also contributed heavily to the campaigns of Sen.

Mike Gravel. D-Alaska, who received Sen. Birch Bayh, and Democratic Rep. William Roy, who received $56,938 in his campaign against incumbent Republican Sen. Bob Dole of Kansas.

Dole got only $300 from labor, according to the report. In House races. 40 candidates received defendant because of the handling of the Nixon and Agnew cases. But most say there is no sure way to determine what factors influence a jury's verdict. The prosecutors said they see few signs that judges have changed their sentencing habits because of the Washington scandals.

The prosecutors assessed the impact of the scandals on their own cases in interviews during a four-day conference with Justice Department officials. Several asked not to be named. The U.S. attorneys say they have arguments to counter a defense lawyer's plea for leniency based on President Ford's pardon of former President Nixon for any crimes he committed in office. In Utah, said prosecutor C.

Nelson Day of Salt Lake City, defense lawyers "many times refer to public figures or well known political figures" during trials. "Our counter-attack is that we're trying this case and the jury must make its decision on the facts in this case alone," Day continued. "We get it regularly and in a steady dose," said a Southern state prosecutor. "They are using it. It's a problem.

We were beat over the head with the Agnew case," said Ralph B. Guy the federal prosecutor in Detroit and vice chairman of the department's advisory committee of U.S. attorneys. U.S. Atty.

Robert E. J. Curran of Philadelphia said: "I think there is a residual effect. Most of it is an undercurrent it's there but you don't talk about it. There's no question the government has suffered." Many agree that government lawyers suddenly are facing surprisingly skeptical jurors.

"Since all the troubles began, we've lost a few cases that we can't really explain. We've had a few hung juries and can't really explain," said a western state prosecutor. "They may believe all the government witnesses are nutty because of Watergate or because of something else." Politicians more than $10,000, with the most going to four Democrats who earlier this year won in special elections in Republican-held districts. They were J. Bob Traxler of Michigan, Thomas Luken of Ohio, Richard VanderVcen of Michigan, and John Burton of $24,050.

The report said that of the $2.8 million already contributed by labor this year, about 20 per cent was given to challenging candidates and the remaining 80 per cent to incumbents. Democrats received most of the money. Sen. Richard Schweiker of Pennsylvania was the biggest Republican recipient with $37,630. The AFL-CIO lists 47 challengers on its priority list, but the report noted that only 12 received more than $12,000, Organized labor has set as its goal a gain of more than 40 seats in the House.

That would put Democrats in the range of two-thirds control, making for a "veto-proof" Congress. The 435-member House is currently made up of 248 Democrats and 187 Republicans. The goal of gaining 40 or more seats is derived from an AFL-CIO list of 83 key (Continued From Page One) last week when the agency petitioned the court to hold hearings on the "slurry" wall technique and its enviromental ramifications. Atty. Gen.

Scott's office immediately filed a counter petition protesting a limitation on the hearings. Initial work on the plant would involve draining the site-a tender point with conservationists who fear the process will disturb the ecology of the inter-dunal ponds and Cowies Bog. NIPSCO has monitored the levels in interdunal ponds since October, 1973. The utility was given this responsibility by the AEC licensing board. An evaluation of the data gathered by an independent firm hired by NIPSCO indicates wide variations in water levels.

A NIPSCO spokesman said the variations in the levels of the ponds and bogs in the National Lakeshore Park area appear to be the result of natural phenomenon. Variations ranging from a few inches to four feet have been measured, according to NIPSCO. The monitoring was done on six ponds within the plant site, one adjacent to the Svce, Ual $903,718 Taxes Rockefeller said that at the time he submitted the figures to the two committees, federal tax audits were in process for 1969, 1970 and 1971, and had not yet begun for 1972 and 1973. "Through intensive work by the Internal Revenue Service, these audits have now been completed and have resulted in adjustments, as in the past," Rockefeller said. When he submitted his tax records to the Senate committee and summarized them in a lengthy opening statement Sept.

23, Rockefeller gave no indication the figures were subiect to further audit. The additional taxes include $104,180 in federal income taxes for 1970. lieloli Precipitation Nt Indicate1- Cvoiuh NMHiM S- IVmUlti FigvrM $Kow Uw TmpfOturiv DM from NATIONAL WUTHt lyj 60 60 Ill Lo Pre.
