But an embargo similar to the one imposed in 1973 by the Arab oil block would not be considered such an act, he said. The President promised to consult with Congress before committing American troops to any future military action. Ford said the military situation in South Vietnam is grave and that the United States should increase aid to the Saigon government by $300 million $1 billion in the current fiscal year help stave off attacks by North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces. On the domestic front, he said a billion dollar plan for government-backed health insurance drafted by the Nixon administration will not be put forward in the proposed 1976 budget because of spending limitations.

And he defended his decision to raise the cost of food stamps to the poor and to cut automatic increases in Social Security benefits from 9 to 5 per cent. Ford repeated his promise to veto any new money bills sent to him by Congress, except those in the energy field.

He repeatedly called on Congress to pass his economic package, especially the energy-related parts. Skating Pond Plans Delayed (Continued from Page One) been proposed to the Lebanon County commissioners, who gave their approval to the plan early in November.

However, when survey work began it was learned the land designated for the site had been deeded by the county to the school authority several years ago.

The Jaycees took on the project after Lee Ross.

Continue Bail At $70,000 (Continued From Page One) the Supreme Court set last year when Scaramuzzino appealed the previously set $150.000 bail amount. After the open court hearing involving the bail issue Judge Meyer called District Attorney George E. Christiansen and defense attorney Nelson Galloway into his chambers to discuss Scaramuzzino's new trial appeal. Had Second Trial Scaramuzzino was convicted of murder in the second degree on Dec. 27, 1974, for the April 10.

1971 stabbing death of Kathleen Gensler, this city. In June of 1971 he had been convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to life imprisonment but the Supreme Court upset that verdict and ordered a new trial on a trial technicality. After hearing Galloway's petition and arguments why Scaramuzzino should be freed on his own recognizance, or in a bail amount no greater than $5,000. Judge Meyer said he would put on the record some information to be considered by the Supreme Court if there is an appeal from the bail reduction decision. The jurist then noted that in January of 1971 Scaramuzzino appeared before him for a reduction of bail on a charge of unlawful entry.

"At that time I reduced bail for the defendant and he was released. A few months later the offense for which he was twice convicted was he added. The jurist then noted that Galloway had referred to the almost four years of time Scaramuzzino has already been in jail. He pointed out that Scaramuzzino's second trial had been scheduled for last June and then continued at the defendant's request and the same was true in September. He said there was also a request for a continuance in December but it was denied.

Judge Meyer said the amount of time Scaramuzzino spent in jail because of his own requests for trial continuances is more than the amount of time it will take to act on new trial requests, etc. The jurist then pointed out that after the first trial Scaramuzzino lunged toward the district attorney "in order to do something to him, I don't know what." Threatens Judge. D.A. Judge Meyer further said for the record that prior to the scheduled trial date in June. Scaramuzzino wrote a letter to a jail inmate in which he said.

"The first chance I get in the court room I'm going to try my best to kill Judge Meyer and the D.A. who they now put on my case again to prosecute me. I don't care if they shoot me down in the court room and they must die if it takes me all my fife to get them. Judge Gates said another letter written by Scaramuzzino caused fear on the part of persons he did not identify. The jurist expressed the opinion that when the Supreme Court learns of the threats made by Scaramuzzino it will not eagerly acquiesce to a bail reduction petition.

Galloway had pointed out in his remarks that the Supreme Court had reduced the bail without hearing and without having any information other that of Scaramuzzino's own petition. Calls For Probe Of Lost Funds (Continueo 1 From Page One) money for investment by delayed premium payment. Harrier, who did not seek reelection last November, said by telephone from his LeCon- tes Mills home, that disclosures surrounding the reserve insurance policy last week "proved our committee was on the right track last year. "Some of the people involved evaded our committee by going to Rome, Italy, because they knew our committee was digging deep. "I feel that in this case, and probably in other cases unknown to us at the moment, the taxpayers of Pennsylvania are being taken across by unethical government hierarchies for their own benefit," Harrier said.

Both Schmitt and Harrier said that partisanship in an election year hampered the select committee's inquiries. Most of the Harrier Committee's findings related to the state's insurance coverage of its 25,000 vehicle fleet for bodily injury and property damage, and the allegations of wrongdoing, have been turned over to U. S. Attorney John J. Catone, Scranton.

Defense Objects Scaramuzzino. who is now in a state correctional facility, was not present for this morning's hearing. The defendant's absence was objected to by his defense attorney. In his arguments for a bail reduction Galloway stressed the fact that Scaramuzzino had no prior serious criminal record, that he had a good jail record, that if released he could be gainfully employed as a painter, that he could help pay the costs of his trial, and that if granted a new trial he could help prepare his defense.

Judge Meyer said it was his experience that prisoners who arc dangerous on the outside are smart enough to behave themselves in jail. He also noted that Scaramuzzino had been brought back to Lebanon considerably in advance of his scheduled trial dates and there was ample opportunity for him to give assistance in the preparation of his case.
