Sponsored by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the telecast was attended by 13 members of the St. Petersburg Area Chamber of Commerce and delegations from Tampa, Lakeland and Sarasota. This innovative technique of public private communications on urban problems variously called a teleconference, an electronic dialog and a national town meetings was seen In color in 27 cities throughout the nation.

Each city was permitted to ask the high level panel two questions with assurance that other questions would be answered by the officials later. AGNEW, in his introductory speech, said the Nixon Administration is "putting domestic problems on a par with foreign problems." In answer to a question about the limitations of federal government expenditures for the cities, Moynihan observed, "for every one per cent increase in our gross na-tionalproduct there has been a corresponding iy2 per cent increase in federal revenue." George Romney, secretary of housing and urban development, charged that the nation was fallen one-million short of its new housing needs in the past three years.

Low-cost housing will be the greatest undeveloped market in history.

It's been big on promises and little on performance." Secretary of Labor George P. Schultz was asked if there is any plan to "modify the minimum wage." There is no plan yet, he said, but added that a uniform minimum wage for all groups perhaps (Please See LEADERS, S-B) Becomes TALLAHASSEE (UPI) -Board of Regents Chairman D.
