0 PfQUA DAILY CALL Tuesday, January 20, 1976 Democrats attack (Concluded From Page One) But Ford also proposed an increase in another tax, Uie payroll levy paid by employers and employes to support the Social Security system that has been running a deficit and dipping into Its reserves. Effective in 1977, the increase would raise the maximum to paid by an employe to 11,014, up from $855 this year. All but $49 this proposed hike might occur anyway under automatic provisions of present law. Ford also proposed a revision in the Medicare health program for the aged It would cost the over-65 patients more for short-term illnesses, but set a ceiling on what they could be charged for covered services. The limit, he said, would protect them against catastrophic costs for serious Illness, While Ford's message forshadowed clashes on a number of issues with the Democratic majority in Congress, it also staked out some positions that would set him apart from Reagan.

While Reagan has proposed large-scale transfers of federal programs to the stales, Ford came out for tightening rather than abolishing federal welfare programs. Ford also called for what he desaibed a "long overdue reform of the scandal-ridden food stamp program." A major change would limit benefits to those whose net income is below the poverty level, currently for a family of four, He said temporary extensions of special unemployment benefits will continue in 1976 and that he will ask for continued job training funds in 1977, He renewed his call for a five-year extension of federal revenue-sharing with states and localities. Ford advanced two plans he said would stimulate needed business investment. One would provide fast depreciation of productive facilities, aimed especially at areas of high unemployment -which under present circumstances would cover much of the county. Red Dye No.

2 banned; used for food, cosmetics WASHINGTON (AP) Concern over a possible link to cancer Is prompting the Food and Drug Administration to ban Red Dye No. 2, one of the most widely used dyes for foods, drugs and cosmetics. FDA Commissioner Alexander M. Schmidt said Monday that the ban, to take effect within the next few days, will not require recall of products already on the market which contain the coloring. But manufacturers of the dye say the ban may not prove to be popular with consumers.

Jerome Kinnison of the Warner- Jenkinson Manufacturing a subsidiary of the 7-Up said many manufacturers who use Red No. 2 will change to other dyes, but the color of their products will be different. "Some favorite foods that have been popular for 50 years will be considerably less attractive and others will cease to exist because the public won't buy them," he said. The FDA's action followed a review, completed at the end of last year, of all scientific studies of Red No. 2 including evidence that nigh dosages of the dye when fed to rats can lead to an increase in cancerous tumors.

"Clearly, the burden of proof belongs not with the government or the consumer, but with those who claim that Red No. 2 has a safe and useful purpose in the food supply and in our drugs and cosmetics," Schmidt said. More than one million pounds of Red Dye No. 2 have been used annually in recent years to give artificially flavored soft drinks a rich cherry or strawberry color, to make maraschino cherries red rather than natural gold and to color-code certain drug tablets. In recent years, more and more food manufacturers have been switching to Ked No.

Mayor Jack D. Wilson said the bids will simply "let us know how much it will cost to have the building could affect the deliberations of the youth study committee." Commissioners also passed an ordinance regulating garage, porch, and other such sales. It will not require a license for sales, but the law limits the sales to twice a year and to lengths of tour consecutive days. It also restricts signs advertising such a sale to nine square feet and limits the number of signs to one. Commissioner Ray Hammer, who was serving as city planner when the planning commission reviewed the ordinance, said the is designed "to control the nuisance-type sales and not to eliminate garage sales as such."

Long distance: It's going to cost more WASHINGTON (AP) Your long. distance telephone rates are going up. The way was cleared for the higher rates when the Federal Communications Commission voted 7 to 0 on Monday to allow American Telephone Telegraph Co. to submit rate increases to push its annual rate of return on its Investments from 8.74 per cent to 9.5 per cent. That will bring the Bell System an additional J225 million per year.

It will not be known how much the decision will cost telephone users until after the FCC Issues the text of its decision in a few weeks and sets a filing schedule for ATT, a company spokesman said. The FCC rejected the company's request for an increase of 10.5 to 11 per cent which Bell has requested to increase its total annual revenues by (660 million. The commission found that an Increase of only about million annually had been Justified by the company. ATT issued a statement saying it was "pleased the commission authorized a increase" but "it falls short of what we believe is required both to provide high quality service and to raise the necessary capital on the best possible terms in today's economic climate." The ATT spokesman said it was too early to say whether the decision might be appealed to federal court here. The FCC decision came hours after the commission heard arguments challenging a decision last month by FCC Administrative Law Judge Byron E.

Harrison. Harrison recommended an increase from 8.74 to 10 per cent in the level of rate of return. ATT argued this was too low and insisted on its original figure of 10.5 to 11 per cent. But the FCC's Common Carrier Bureau's trial staff said Harrison's rate was too high and said a rate of return of 8.75 per cent would keep ATT financially sound. ATT, the world's largest corporation, asked the FCC a year ago for an annual revenue increase of J717 million.

The FCC found an increase of (365 million was justified by increased cost of debt, but it said further proceedings were required to determine if the remaining requests could be Justified on the basis of increased cost of equity. In another matter, the FCC made public over the weekend an FCC staff study recommending that ATT restructure its long-distance rate plans In relation to monopoly and competitive services. If the commission approves, it could mean lower rates (or residential customers and higher rates for business and government.
