The Boston Glebe Monday, June 26. 1972 WORLD NATIONAL METRO ROUNDUP 2 Cpj" Some 170 men fought their way through a thickly wooded, 28-aquare-miie area in northern Indiana yesterday in search of a young, unidentified skyjacker who parachuted from a jetliner Saturday with in ransom money. An FBI agent said it was uncertain whether the man's parachute had opened, leaving the possibility he may be dead or injured. Helicopters, small planes and boats were participating in the search, centered on the Mississinewa Reservoir near Peru. The wedding bells rang, despite! an explosion in.

This morning they are far slimmer. In the space of one week, two actions have had the effect of virtually cancelling all prospects for reform this year.

One was a move in the Senate to deal with the issue of an increase in Social Security benefits and taxes separately from the welfare question. elfar'e Food price session: No action reported supporters of the President), and without the spur to action provided by a Social Security bill in' the same package, there may not be anything worth debating. The first clear sign that' welfare reform of any kind was pretty much dead was the ease with which Sen. Frank Church (D-Idaho) attracted support for his proposal to tack a 20 percent increase in Social Security benefits and a moderately hefty boost in payroll taxes to legislation raising' the government' debt limit which has passed the House and will reach the Senate floor this week. Russell B.

Long (D-La.) who chairs the Senate Finance Committee and opposes both the White House and Senate liberals on welfare, quickly endorsed Church's proposal, and there was also a tacit nod of approval from Rep. Wilbur D. Mills (D-Ark.) who chairs the House Ways and Means Committee and would have to steer the Social Security provisions under the umbrella of the debt legislation in the subsequent conference committee meeting between representatives and ators to draft a final bill. The essence of the proposed compromise would have guaranteed a family of four an annual income of $2600, or $200 more than the Nixon plan and $400 less than the original Ribicoff proposal. Also included would have been a provision for automatic increases in benefits to reflect increases in the cost of living, which both the Nixon plan and the present system lack.

A newspaper in Tel Aviv said that Kozo Okamoto, allegedly the lone survivor of the three Japanese gunmen who killed or wounded more than 100 people in the Lod Airport massacre May 30, became violent in his cell before being taken out for the preliminary hearing against him in a military court last week. The paper, Yediot Aharonot, said this was the reason he remained handcuffed to two policemen throughout the hearing. Okamoto, the newspaper said, broke a block of wood with a karate blow of his hand before being overpowered and handcuffed by both arms to policemen who sat on either side of him throughout the hearing. He has reportedly said he wishes to commit suicide or receive the death sentence. In Northern Ireland, a truce between the British army and the Irish Republican Army is set to go into effect today at midnight, but yesterday British troops claimed to have hit 10 guerrillas in gunfights across Belfast.

The fights raised fears the truce might not begin as scheduled. In the Mideast, a truce of sorts has long been in effect, but nonetheless the violence continues. Palestinian guerrillas said their gunboats lfought an hour-long battle with Israeli patrol boats and helicopters off Israel's northern coast. Israel denied the guerrilla report. In New York, the UN Security Council discussed recent conflicts between Israel and Lebanon and adjourned until today to permit delegates to consult on a possible resolution.

Instability is of a less violent nature in Itay. Sources in Rome said the nation may have its 34th government in the past 26 years by tonight. Acting Premier Giulio Andreotti has reportedly formed a new government which will end a decade of center-left rule in Italy by moving slightly to the right.

In Montreal, a gunman walked into a delicatessen, ordered foor employees into a walk -in freezer, shot them to death and then covered their bodies with produce. Police, who have picked up a suspect, said they knew of no motive for the shootings, but speculated they could have been vengeance killings. 1 Man isn't the only dangerous animal roaming the earth.

Washington Post WASHINGTON The Price Commission met yesterday to discuss rising food prices, but adjourned without taking any action. Last Wednesday the Commission was ready to slap a 30-day freeze on wholesale; andor retail meat prices, but held off.

Instead the panel sent a memorandum to its parent Cost of Living Council urging the C'OLC to make more basic changes: Lift import quotas on meat and extend price controls to farm products. On Thursday, President Nixon took the steam out of the commissioners when he told reporters the Administration was considering lifting meat import quotas. He said he had not ruled out moving against rising meat prices from the "controls side." BACKGROUND If this succeeds, and it probably will this week, perhaps the most powerful spur to action on welfare (the largely political need to increase Social Security benefits) will have been removed. As if that weren't enough, President Nixon, who has been advertising his version of change in the welfare system as his number one legislative priority for nearly three years, dug welfare reform's grave even deeper by telling his press conference that has was ruling out for now, any compromise with the nu Price Commission officials had "no comment" on yesterday's special session, the last until August. Chairman G.

Jackson Grayson headed for a European vacation said no action was taken. It was reported the Commission would again consider putting a freeze on retail and wholesale meat prices at its special meeting unless the Cost of Living Council took some action at its Thursday meeting. COLC did not act, but Administration sources report the Council is working on proposals to alleviate rising meat prices and will have them on the President's desk soon. Grayson denied to reporters yesterday, however, that the White House influenced the Commission. "We have not been politicized," he said.

Mrs. Nadia Cohen, widow of Eli Cohen, one of Israel's" most famous spys, who, was executed in Damascus six years ago, appealed to burglars who broke into her home last week in Tel Aviv to return a number of personal' items.

Without such a compromise everyone involved in this long battle except Mr. Nixon and his closest White House aides feel that no proposal can command a majority of the Senate. Welfare is scheduled to reach the floor of the Senate for debate sometime shortly after the Democratic convention ends around the middle of next month.

However, with the Senate still divided roughly in thirds (among hard liners, liberals, and In a related development two consultants to consumer advocate Ralph Nader issued a statement yesterday placing blame for. meat price increases on the grocery industry. In a letter to Grayson, Harrison Wellford and Mark Fredericksen said an analysis of beef prices showed farm prices in April remained at the same level as in November, 1971, but retail prices had shot up by 5.3 percent.
