31. Cloud report Loans called indefensible Sporting World Wage-cost increases targeted From Wirt DiipatelM WASHINGTON President Nixon, faced with a battery of unfavorable economic news and forthcoming congressional elections, apparently has decided to name a watchdog commission to expose inflationary wage and price Increases to the glare of publicity. Several Administration sources said yesterday Mr. Nixon will announce the panel when he delivers his long-awaited economic message to the nation at noon today on radio and television. THE PLANS, which one source emphasized are not concrete, call for a panel of from nine to 15 members, most of them to be drawn from private life and others from the government.

Although the group would have no power to roll back wage or price increases, the government is betting that unions and business will reduce their demands rather than be publicly accused of adding to the worst inflation since the Korean War. "It could have quite a beneficial impact," an Administration economist said. The President also reportedly intends to make a direct appeal to business and labor to help cure inflation. THE PRESIDENT considers the nation's economy to be basically sound despite inflation, the highest unemployment in five years and the deepest business slump in a decade. He can be expected to urge the public to maintain faith in the economy, and he is certain to promise that better days are ahead.

Conviction reversed in mutiny WASHINGTON (UPI) An Army court of review yesterday struck down the mutiny conviction of one of the 27 men charged after the 1968 uprising by prisoners at San Francisco's Presidio Stockade. The court upheld Pvt. Nessery D. Sood's conviction on lesser charge of willful disobedience of a lawful command" but reduced his sentence to one year at hard labor. In San Francisco, Sood's lawyer 6aid that if the reversal stands, it will mean mutiny convictions of 22 other men must be overturned.

Paul Halvonik, of the American i i I Liberties Union, told a news conference the entire legal episode is "a classic example of Army overkill" and said Sood would appeal his conviction on the I charge as well. The Presidio disorder on Oct. 14, 1968, involved 28 prisoners. They staged a sit-down outside the stockade to protest what they claimed was maltreatment by guards, overcrowding, unsanitary conditions and poor food. When the men refused an order to return to the stockade, they were charged with mutiny.

The testimony came from Gerald A. Donahue, organizing partner in the Columbus firm of Crofters, which arranged illegal loans from the state treasury. "Mr.

"We are directly in the spotlight of an anxious America that looks to our city for a cue for a hint of whether the fabric of a major urban center can withstand the strains of an ex-t ni I hard fought election campaign."

Three of Gibson's candidates for the nine-member city council also won. Addonizio, on trial for extortion and conspiracy, told Gibson "I stand ready to assist in a smooth transfer."

In an unusual move, campaign managers for the candidates issued a joint statement when the polls closed urging the city to remain calm no matter what the outcome of the race. the event that he did win the primary if I would be active in his behalf," said Donahue in a sworn deposition. "I told him that I most certainly would, that it was my intention to back any Republican who won the Republican primary.

CLOUD, WHO won the nomination at the May 5 primary, acknowledged the request at a press conference yesterday. "I called him along with about 25 other people who had been prominent in the Republican party but who had been active in the Brown or Lukens campaign," said Cloud. "I merely said to them and this was a short conversation that if their man won I hoped to support him andfif I won I hoped his people would support us." Cloud beat out U.S. Rep. Donald E.

Lukens and Atty. Gen. Paul W. Brown for the GOP gubernatorial nomination. AT THE press conference, Cloud was asked to make it "crystal clear" if he had ever solicited campaign funds from Donahue or anyone else doing business with the state.

"Certainly not. I have not," he responded. He was also asked if he had been pressured by party leaders to bow out of the governor's race because his' office had accepted a $1,000 campaign donation from Donahue before the primary. "No," he responded. "I haven't had a phone call or a letter concerning that.

No one. has asked me to do that, except a few of the newspapers." Cloud, with support from the GOP state committee, has demanded that Herbert withdraw from the ticket as a candidate for attorney general. HERBERT HAS repeatedly said he will not quit. Yesterday he issued a statement saying he had not had a chance to read Cloud's audit report but "my future plans are to work to be elected attorney general." Cloud also has called for the withdrawal of State Sen. Robin T.
