Side effects of Hurricane Eloise, which spent its main strength in Florida, were blamed for the early flooding in Pennsylvania and other Atlantic Seaboard states. But the National Weather Service said Saturday that Hurricane Faye, far at sea southeast of Cape Cod, is at least partly responsible for continued flash-flood watches and warnings over New England and parts of New York state and Pennsylvania. New England and the Canadian maritime provinces were cautioned to keep close tabs on Faye, although forecasters said it appears that the storm will miss the U.S.

mainland and skirt Nova Scotia with its 100 miles per hour winds during the night. Faye passed within 40 miles of Bermuda Friday night, dumping heavy rains and buffeting the resort island "with strong wind gusts, but sparing the island the full fury of hurricane force winds. GALE WARNINGS were hoisted for the south coast of Nova Scotia during the day, and forecasters warned he predicted that "it will have a significant impact It will worsen inflation throughout the world and it will hamper the fragile process of economic recovery. It will hit the poorer countries the hardest." FRANK G. ZARB, federal energy administrator, told a White House press briefing that the OPEC increase will cause gasoline prices in this country to rise by a penny to a penny and a half.

The increase will drain at least $2-billion from the American economy to the oil-producing states, Zarb said. Zarb said the Administration has no plans to lift soon the $2-a-barrel import levy imposed by Ford on all imported oil Lifting that tax would more than offset the effect of the OPEC price increase announced Saturday. Zarb called the OPEC hike "outrageous," but he indicated he believes Congress is partially to blame because its failure to adopt an energy policy reducing U.S. imports gave the cartel the leverage to demand a higher price. ADMINISTRATION officials favor a domestic price increase because it would keep the money at home, rather than letting it flow to OPEC nations.

Congressional Demo-' crats oppose U.S. price hikes for fear oi their economic effect favoring import quotas and possible rationing instead. The United States imported 4.3-million barrels of crude oil a day in July, the last month for which figures are available, with 74.8 per cent of that amount coming from OPEC nations and the balance supplied mainly by Canada and Mexico. Imports account for about 40 per cent of America's oil needs. The United States and other consumer countries had put strong pressure on OPEC to defer any price increase until after a dialogue between consumer and producer nations opens next month in Paris.

Sea OPEC, 4-A Compiled from UPI Now York Timoo, WooMngtow Poit wtft VIENNA The world's major oil exporters decided unanimously Saturday to raise crude oil prices 10 per cent starting next week, with the possibility of another increase in mid-1976. President Ford's top energy adviser termed the move "outrageous." Experts estimated the increase will raise the world oil bill by $10-billion a year and boost the cost of American oil imports by $2-billion to KUWAIT WON acceptance for a compromise proposal at a morning session of the oil ministers of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), which had been deeply divided over the price hike during its four-day conference. The 10 per cent rise and the following nine-month price freeze represented to some extent a political victory for Saudi Arabia, the largest producer in the 13-member cartel, which served notice at the beginning of the conference that it would not accept a price rise of greater than 10 per cent The benchmark grade of light Arabian crude oil, the standard measure of prices in the industry, rises to $11.51 a barrel, from $10.46. This works out to an increase of 2.5 cents a gallon for OPEC oil, which because of the group's dominant position in the industry, will affect all oil in international trade. EXPERTS HERE expect the oil companies to pass on the extra cost immediately.

In Washington, President Ford reacted angrily to the announced oil price increase, but his anger was ed more at Congress than at the OPEC nations. "We will continue to be vulnerable to arbitrary OPEC price increases which will take away billions of American dollars and thousands of America's jobs until Congress faces up to the energy problem," Ford said. He said that the 10 per cent increase "reflects a moderating influence by some oil-producing countries," but v. i that the gales were extending out as far as 125 miles from the storms center. PnmnnrpH with some hurricane- spawned floods in past-years, loss of life in the Middle Atlantic states was comparatively light: eight victims were counted in hardest-hit areas; four in Pennsylvania, two in New York, one in Connecticut and one in Virginia.

Officials were hesitant to put a dolar value on the Storm area damage until cleanup could start Connecticut and Rhode Island reported heavy apple-crop damage.

Gen. Frank Kelley said Saturday. State police began digging at the site Friday night but as of late Saturday had found no trace of the former Teamsters president, who has been missing since July 30. He's a one-man crime wave New Orleans police are claiming a world arrest record for a 53-year-old multiple Offender who turned himself in Friday. A spokesman said the man had been arrested 820 times and convicted 421 times, mostly for public drunkenness.

His name is Alfred L. Vice. uneasy detente? It was Pearl Harbor that Harry Truman had in mind when he asked Congress to set up the CIA in 1947. Clark Clifford helped write the legislation. Before he became secretary of Defense in 1968, Clifford served eight years on the president's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board, most of them as chairman.

"Basically," he said recently, "an intelligence operation is an anachronism in a democracy. It is secret. It sometimes uses questionable means. The public can't be informed about it or even told its cost It is inconsistent with democracy but it remains a necessity if we are to preserve our form of government We can't fly blind in the world BUT THE CIA troubles Clifford profoundly, for startling reasons, and so he urges new legislation by which a joint oversight committee of Congress would tether the agency within new, sharply defined limits. "As the agency went on growing," he said, "there developed a psychology within the CIA: Those who were experienced in international intelligence were uniquely, qualified not only to carry out orders but to conceive new projects.

"AS TIME WENT ON, they developed a concept of a higher loyalty, higher even than that which they owed to their own director and the president, a loyalty to country which carried with it the idea that others, only temporarily in government, would not be able to understand the great rewards that awaited the country if they were left alone. "I know this existed. I'm not guessing. Their thinking was that presidents and directors come and go while they were devoting their lives to this service. So, they found concepts to blunt what the Russians might be doing in their covert operations, maybe overlooking the fact that the Soviets operated from a dictatorship and we, a democracy.

Sea SPY. 27-A He began recalling that when he finally told his daughter what he did for a living, which was espionage, she said, "But isn't that kind of dirty, Daddy?" He ended tL? interview with a kind of summary. "IN 25 YEARS, I've had to do things I'm not particularly proud of. It's been a double life, sometimes unethical and illegal. But I think I've been useful and I'm not envious of any man's moral standards." He put on his glasses and dug into his wallet.

He hoped, he said, he was not about to be corny. Then, from a tattered scrap of paper, this big, powerful-looking man read aloud, with some emotion, the words of Nathan Hale: "I wish to be useful, and every kind of service, necessary to the public good, becomes honorable by being necessary. If the exigencies of my country demand a peculiar service, its claims to perform that service are imperious." IT WAS THE rationale of Dave Phillips' life with the Central Intelligence Agency. His daughter had thought he worked for the State Department It has been, of course, the rationale of the CIA, the FBI, the military intelligence agencies, and, in fact, of all the heroes and rogues in history who served the altar of national security. Now, in the wake of Watergate and Vietnam, the morality and mentality of the huge American intelligence apparatus are being questioned as never before.
