(A bring pressure to bear against profits being rung up by the interest rates. If he his found no way to curb the money changers in his tern pie of economic stability, the President is ready to give them hard time about the mounting interest rates they are charging the government when it is forced, as it is continually, to borrow more and more money His first move in the direction of easier money could come in the naming of a new member to replace C.

Canby Balderston expected to retire about Jan. 1 from the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. However, William McChesney Martin, the Federal Reserve Board chairman whom critics hive blamed for high interesl rates, still has more than four years to go on his present 14- year term. A proposal by the late President John F. Kennedy to make the chairman's term coincide with a presidential term went nowhere in Congress, and the Johnson administration has no plans to revive it.

The board is maintaining a 4 per cent rediscount rate at this point which tends to boost interest charged by banks and other lending institutions. The White House has figured out that the cost of short-term borrowing by the Treasury has fone up 72 per cent since 1961. In that year the Treasury was renting money for an average of 2.378 per cent interesl; this month, the rate has been 4.097 per cent. Long-term Treasury bonds cost the government about 12 per cent more than in 1961, because of an increase in the average interest rate from 3.90 per cent to 4.35 per cent. Secretary of the Treasury Henry H.

Fowler, in a speech at New Orleans last night, said any further increase in interest rates as a brake against possible inflation growing out of the long economic boom would be "premature and unwise." As he did in the controversy over aluminum and copper prices, Johnson is staying in the background of the campaign to ease the increased borrowing costs which Budget Bureau experts ay will add about $400 million this year to the January estimate of $11.1 billion interest charges on the national debt. This is one of several reasons given by White House officials to explain why the new budget Johnson will send to Congress (Continued on Page 8) osf Hit By Heavy 1JT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Snow continued piling up today along the eastern and southeastern shores of the Great Lakes while freezing temperatures were reported from the Rocky Mountains to the Appalachians. -At Conneaut, Ohio, 60 miles northeast of Cleveland, nearly a foot of snow had fallen. Other cities with heavy accumulations were Erie, and Buffalo, N.Y., both with eight inches, and Grand Rapids and Traverse City, with seven inches. Thi U.S.

Weather Bureau described the snowfall as a seasonal phenomenon, resulting from arctic air passing over the warmer lake waters. The northern Plains again today experienced morning temperatures near the zero mark. Aberdeen, S.D., reported the early morning low, 3 degrees. The early morning high was 72 at Key Wast, Fla. Parti of the Gulf states were dampened by rain showers.

The meeting lasted VA hours. It was called suddenly after a midnight meeting of ministers, directly concerned with the Rhodesia crisis, broke up. Wilson has shown wariness about sending British grounc brces to meel black-ruled Zambia's request for troops to pro- ect the Kariba Dam.

The dam is jointly operated with Rhodesia and is the main source of power 'or Zambia's huge copper mines. Sources said Britain would send a token RAF reconnaissance squadron to patrol the dam and its power lines. The question' of troops for Zambia threatened to split the ragile unity British political larties have maintained in face of Rhodesia's seizure of inde- lendence. Zambia's demand was irought to Wilson last night Malcolm MacDonald, Britain's special representative in east and central Africa. Some sources said the demand amounted to an ultima- urn from Zambia's President Ccnnelh Kaunda to seek aid rom other countries if Britain didn't send him troops.

Sabo- eurs knocked out the power line (Continued on Page 8) 602 Killed In Holiday Accidents By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Thanksgiving cheer changed grief for many as the 102- lour holiday weekend ended at nidnight with a record number of persons killed on the nation's lighways. The final count was 602. The previous high for a Thanksgiving weekend was 554, last year. The leader among the 50 talcs and the Dislricl of Columbia was New York with 40 dead. The next highest counts vere logged in California and Texas, both wilh 35 dead.

The Associalcd Press lally larled at 6 p.m. Wednesday. Although most' of the traffic deaths were single fatalities, scatlered multiple-death accidents helped boost the final count. A collision yesterday resulted Hie dealh of three members of a Norman, family and a cen-age girl riding in (heir aulo as Ihey drove lo church. Three icrsons were seriously injured Ihe mishap.

A collision Saturday near Radcliff, killed two brothers and Ihcir sislcr on their way the funrrs! of a relative. Three persons losl their lives Thanksgiving night near Punta Gorda, in a head-on collision. The same day near Dayton, five persons were killed in a crash. Snow made driving conditions lazardous in some parts of the nalion over the weekend. Traffic fatalities over a four- day Thanksgiving weekend have ranged from a low of 442 in 1960 lo this year's new high.

Retired College President Dies MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (AP) Dr. Donald ,1. Cowling, 85 retired presidenl of Carlcton College, Norlhficld, died Saturday. He became Ihe college's president in 1909 when he was only 28 and served until his retirement in 1945.

Cowling was born in Cornwall, England. ia Discuss Nuclear Arms Curbs Foreign Secretary Michae arrived in Moscow to day for talks with Soviet leaders on Viet Nam and the nonproliferation of nuclear weapons. The Communist party organ Pravda said it hoped Stewart's four-day visit would contribute "to the normalization of the international situation." But Brit ish sources here held little hope of major results. Accompanied by Lord Chal font, Britain's minister for dis armament, Stewart was sched uled to meet with Soviet For eign Minister Andrei Gromyko tomorrow. Stewart also was ex pected to meet with Premier Alexei N.

Kosygin and Commu nist party Secretary Leonid I Brezhnev. Seeks Treaty Price The result of the talk's will be a main topic when British Prime Minister Harold Wilson meets with President Johnson in the United States next month. Observers said Stewart woulc try to get a clearer idea of the Soviet price for a treaty to stop the spread of nuclear arms. The Soviets have said no agreemenl is possible unless the United States abandons its proposal for a multilateral nuclear force for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The Soviet Union maintains this would give West Germany access to nuclear arms.

There have been signs of American and British flexibility on the touchy question. Britain has indicated it considers a nonproiiferation agreement more important than a NATO nuclear force. Proposed Consultation The United States has pro- msed a consultation committee hat would give other Atlantic alliance nations some participa- ion in nuclear policy. Some observers say the committee proposal could provide a compromise between the West German desire for a greater voice in nuclear policy and the Soviet de- nand that no German finger ouch the nuclear trigger. The aU.osphere for Stewart's mission was improved some- vhat by a front-page article today in Pravda, the Soviet Com- nunist party paper, welcoming lim with a friendly comment.

"The Soviet people express he hope," Pravda "that lie. talks will be a further step toward the strengthening of friendly relations between the icoplcs of the Soviet Union and 3reat Britain." On the Viet Nam question, observers said Stewart might propose that Britain and the soviet. Union reconvene the Geneva conference which met 1954 to end the French-Indochina war. Britain and the Soviet Union are cochairmen of he conference. 1 But British sources in Moscow did not see much hope for another Geneva meeting in the icar future.

Brezhnev said recently that Soviet relations with Britain were "greatly impeded" by Britain's support of. U.S. policy in Viet Nam among other policies. U.S. officials in Washington were expected to watch the Stewart talks for any sign of a change in the Communist posi- ion on Viet Nam.

Preston Ln, of Wilmington, Del. Washington March Not Convincing WASHINGTON (AP) A leader of the weekend peace march on Washington, in which thousands protested American involvement in the Viet Nam war, said today that "a demon stration doesn't convince any body." Despile this, Sanford Gottlieb said i 11 a telephone interview more demonstrations are being considered by the Nationa Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy -SANE. Gottlieb is political aclion director of SANE, which spon sored Saturday's march am picketing of the White House in protest of U.S. policies in Vie' Nam. March officials estimate: the turnout at 40,000 to police placed it at 25,000.

"We were definitely pleased with the turnout," Gottlieb said "despite the bus drivers' who wouldn't drive people from New York and also from Baltimore." Not Convincing Future marches are be ng considered, he said, because "at a time when a dramatic event is needed to publicize your point of view, there's nothing like a large demonstration. "But a demonstration doesn't convince anybody," Gotllieb said. March leaders issued a Icaflcl during the protest tilled "Whal 0 Do Next." SANE advised protesters to write letters to newspapers, support politicians who favor a peaceful solution to he war and urge clergymen to discuss the moral issues of the Viet Nam battle. "None of us lias any illusions about the effect 'of any single march or even about marches as a form of action," Gottlieb aid. To get results, recommendations such as offered in he leaflet "must be carried out week by Urge End To Bombing The SANE marchers carried signs urging an end to bombing Viet Nam and negotialed set- lenient of the war.

They were olned by more dissident Including one carrying he gold-starred flag of Ihe Viel Cong Communist guerrillas.

The bulk of the protesters, lowever, were well-dressed, and good-humored.

American Bish Religious Liber VATICAN CITY (AP) Roman bishops from Ihe United States are satisfied that hey have made significant con- ribulions lo Ihe Church renewal aunchcd by the Vatican Ecumenical Council. Many of the U.S. bishops feel American prelates have been among the most influential in gelling the worldwide assembly of bishops lo approve, at its current session, a declaration on religious liberty and a decree declaring the Jews as a whole are not to blame for the cruc ixion of Christ. During the first council session in 1962, the Americans were Isrgely quiet, seemingly more inlent on lislening lo the debates than in joining in. Some council observers jokingly re- erred (o the Americans as the 'Church of Silence," the term usually applied to the Church in Communist lands.

McNamara Will Advise LBJ To Act SAIGON, South Viet Nam' AP) Secretary of Defense. Robert S.

McNamara told newsmen at he airport after his fact-finding our that his most dramatic mpression is that "Wt have stopped losing the war." He added, however, that the ncreased ferocity of Viet Con and North Vietnamese attack! in recent weeks indicated clear decision by Hanoi to esct- ate infiltration and raist level of the conflict." He said these acts must countered, adding: "The South Vietnamese government will further increase its military strength."
