accused the Democratic controlled Congress Of threatening the cities with disaster by failing to approve an extension of the revenue sharing program Speaking to a meeting of some 2000 municipal officials ord also chided Congress for being slow in providing supplemental money for an existing public jobs program while defending his veto of the $6 billion "public works bill which Congress unsuccessfully tried to override ord said revenue sharing must be renewed this year but did not share my sense of urgency It is becoming increasingly apparent that the Congress fails to understand the importance of this program to the people of the cities and counties and states of our nation to renew this program would weaken the fiscal stability of our cities You know that expiration of this program or a reduction in the payments you now receive would mean cutbacks in essential services increased public and related private sector unemployment or the im position of more taxes this is what some par tisans want But I attack on Congress followed criticism from some municipal leaders who blamed both the White House and Congress for failing to extend revenue sharing In a news conference Sunday opening the annual legislative conference of Mayors and the National League of Cities Mayor Moon Iandrieu of New Orleans said the stalemate was leaving the cities the brink of Landrieu applauded ord for proposing an extension of revenue sharing but said even ord has to realize the impact that inflation is having on our general revenue sharing funds the same time we must also point out that other actions by the President jeopardize the re enactment of this vital Landrieu a Democrat and head of the conference said ord by vetoing some 46 pieces of legislation has created such a climate in Washington bet ween the Democratic majority of the Congress and the Republican ad ministration that the revenue sharing program is being held hostage is ironic that the Democratic Congress in order to deal with a Republican administration is prepared to cut off the nose of the cities to get even with the Republican 'The general revenue sharing program heart of former President Richard has pumped more than $30 billion into state and local governments since enactment in 1972 However the program expires Dec 31 unless Congress can come up with an extension ord proposed a year extension

subcommittee which last Thursday cut the program back to 334 years and froze the level of funding BI Begins Probe of Proposed Ski Area Expansion DENVER (AP) The BI has begun investigating the proposed expansion of a Colorado ski area controlled by Howard Callaway US Atty James Treece says the probe began when an agent relayed to federal prosecuters a report that a bribe might have been paid A newsman says the report originated with an anonymous telephone call he received Callaway took a voluntary leave of absence from his post as President campaign manager over the weekend after Sen loyd Haskell Colo announced that his Senate subcommittee will hold hearings on the resort at Crested Butte Colo The Senate investigation was prompted not by allegations of bribery but by questions about a

Miss Hearst for the prosecution was on the stand last week and Is expected to continue testifying today as the trial enters its eighth and perhaps final week controversial Jan 7 examination of Miss Hearst was the subject of a three day pretrial hearing The defense tried to prevent further examination by the psychiatrist whom Miss Hearst said had bullied her to hysterical tears with accusing questions However Kozol disputed virtually all her contentions and US District court Judge Oliver Carter ordered Miss Hearst to submit to further examination by Kozol Since last week Miss physical condition has become nearly as much as issue as her mental condition because it has slowed down her already protracted trial Jail officials reported Saturday and Sunday that Miss Hearst was improved

mention name But Treece said it was the possibility of bribery that gave the BI a connection to the case He said such a bribe would be a federal crime The bribery allegations apparently originated

printed the story had officials not begun an investigation On Sunday Simon Tullai assistant agent in charge of the Denver BI office con firmed that the BI was in vestigating the case but refused
