Carter announced Thursday night he may consider a tax cut to stimulate the economy when he takes office in January. Burns opposed President Ford's 1975 tax reductions and was accused by some members of Congress of offsetting the cuts by withdrawing money the makeup of the Fed unless there is an early resignation. Burns' first public reaction to the election and what it means for the Fed probably will come when he appears before the Senate Banking Committee on Nov.

AP) The Association of Country Entertainers has criticized country music radio stations, claiming the stations do not play a variety of country songs. The association said Thursday the situation is "the worst crisis country music as an art form has faced in 20 years." The group said tight playlists at country music stations are "destroying careers, tampering with the honesty of creative instinct and infuriating the fans." "We're criticizing the endless repetition of the same songs," said Paul Soelberg, spokesman for the group. He said the entire country music industry is to blame.

Grandpa Jones, Jim Ed Brown, Billy Grammar, Bill Carlisle, Barbara Mandrell, Vic Willis and Del Wood were among the entertainers who attended a news conference about the matter. "Much product not wanted by the consumer is being pushed down his throat, and he's being told he likes it," the group said, adding that country music fans have been complaining about the situation. The association was formed two years ago to promote traditional country music. Says State Party Chairman Ross Alyeska Pipeline Service the consortium of oil companies building the pipeline, maintains the road north of the Yukon. The truckers, like their "good buddies" down south, monitor channel 19.

But they also can use channel 11 to talk with the 12 pipeline camps along the route. Each camp has a radio operator handling the commercial band frequency used by Alyeska Pipeline Service as well as monitoring channel 11. The drivers are never more than 25 miles from a camp, so most of the time they are within the trasmission range of radios. And if a trucker can't reach the nearest camp, there's usually another trucker closer who can relay a message. Many Alyeska construction trucks have CB radios and can relay -messages to camps via their more powerful company commercial-band radios.

The radio operator in Old Man camp said that hardly a day passes that he doesn't get a request for some kind of assistance, usually from a disabled vehicle. As we talked with Old Man on channel 19, we passed two wrecked trucks. One was a tanker lying almost upside down but neat-as-you-please on' the narrow strip between the road and the forest. There were no injuries in either accident. Truckers also can call to the radio operators, like "The Winemaker" in Dietrich Camp, to reserve a room for the night.

The drivers are allowed to spend the night in the camps and eat in the cafeterias free. The truckers occasionally get road information from the camps, more often from each other. And there are road condition signs One thing truckers don't need to worry about are bears of the four-wheel variety. Bears of the four-legged variety and wolves are seen frequently along the road. The radios also are crucial to break the loneliness.

The truckers, many riding without partners, use them to pass the time. More than once we heard a static-filled and faint plea: "Breaker 19, is there anybody on this here haul road today?" That goes for the workers, like Ron Lukken of Puyallup, too. He spends 12 to 16 hours daily miles from the camp, smoothing the road with his grader. During the winter months there are nights "when you're lucky if one truck passes." And the only person Lukken "The Heartbreaker" sees is the foreman who brings him his lunch. His day is made when drivers tell him he's "doing a great Job." COLUMBIA (AP)-The chairman of the South Carolina Republican party predicts the party will rebound from its devastating defeats in Tuesday's general election.

Daniel I. Ross of Blackville said Thursday that although the results of the election "were not particularly pleasing," Republicans should not be depressed. Like a good price fighter, he said, they must train for the next bout. "The party may be down but its not out," he said. "I feel that way very strongly." Ross, who has headed the state GOP for six months, blamed a lack of party unity, especially at the grass roots level, for the Republicans' string of defeats Tuesday, ranging from the national to the county level "There is no doubt the party has a future.

We have to organize, we've got to run candidates for every office, from the lowest to the top," he said. "We're always aiming for the top and you can't do that," Ross said. "I argued for this for a year. You have to start at the bottom." He said the Republicans did well in counties, such as Aiken, where the party has strong Organization. He said he plans to begin a training program at the precinct level "to teach people how to be precinct leaders and workers.

That's what's been lacking." Democrats outpolled the Republicans in many local races and maintained their clear majorities in both the state Senate and House of Representatives. Democratic presidential nominees captured the state with 56 per cent of the vote. from the economy. Burns denied to Congress he had done that, but it was nevertheless true that money policies remained tight, which could have negated the effect of the tax cuts. The Federal Reserve Board acts to influence the money supply and interest rates by putting money into the economy, or taking it out, through the purchase or sale of government securities.

Actual targets for interest rates and the money supply are set by the Federal Open Market Committee, which is dominated by the board and its chairman. People such as AFL-CIO President George Meany and Sen. Hubert Humphrey, say the unchallenged power over money and interest rates makes the Fed chairman the most powerful person in the country. Carter's best hope for winning Changes appears to rest with the next Congress, which will consider new regulations for the Fed as part of the proposed Humphrey-Hawkins jobs bill. The bill would change the term of the Fed chairman to the same four-year period as the president.

This would eliminate the overlap of terms that will occur with Burns and Carter. Carolina Weather By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS 24 hours end 8 a.m. EST STATION High Low Prec.

So, the county adopted the board of commissioners, which is most like its present system. The counties are the only ones that have chosen the fifth form, which calls for an elected board commissioners, but limits its administrative authority. Under it, the General Assembly would control the major functions, particularly finances, of a county government. In 1972, South Carolinians voted for a constitutional amendment taking local government out of the hands of the' General Assembly and placing it at home under one of four forms of county government.

The fifth form was not included in the choices. But, the General Assembly included it before passing the implementing legislation. ByW. ROBERT WELI.KR Associated Press Writer ATIGUN PASS, Alaska (AP) You start up the pass in the care of "The Heartbreaker," who turns you over to "The Pass Watcher." Once over the top you are in the hands of "The Happy Pappy." All three of them drive road graders on the trans-Alaska pipeline haul road. And their rigs are equipped with CB radios, which are much more than a device for "hollering" at friends when you are this far north of the Arctic Circle.

They can make the difference between life and death. The 359-mile road north of the Yukon River is kept open all year to get supplies to the pipeline construction camps. Roughly 80 per cent of the road lies north of the Arctic Circle, and winter temperatures 60 below zero are common. "The one and only, world famous Thunderbug" drives this two-lane dirt road like there was no tomorrow as he roars "home to mama." As he stands in front of the shiny Rolls Royce-like grill of his 18-wheeler he looks tough enough to handle most obstacles. Paul Konig, "the Thunderbug," boasts of going over Atigun Pass "barefoot" (without chains).

As he is talking, this reporter's own four-wheel drive wagon is sliding all over the icy highway. But the Anchorage trucker says, "I won't go up this road without my CB." His buddy, Marty DeWitt of Fairbanks, or "Tiny Tim," tells a story about hauling a pipeline load on the stretch of state-maintained road south of the Yukon. He was headed up a hill when his rig tumbled over a cliff. He broke a rib but his radio still worked, and he heard a friend who was traveling ahead of him ask: "Did you make it over the hill?" "I told him: 'Yeah, but not the right Conference Asked On Auto Insurance Rates COLUMBIA (AP)-The chairman of the South Carolina Insurance Commission says he may ask Gov. James B.

Edwards to call a state government summit meeting to discuss the prospect for continued increases in automobile insurance rates. "I think the situation is bad enough to ask the governor to call a conference with us, the Highway Department and the traffic safety people," Claude E. McCain said Thursday. "The observation that low-income people might be priced out of the insurance market if these rates keep going up might come true," McCain added. Insurance officials blame the bleak outlook on rising num bers of traffic accidents, grim statistical reports irom insurance companies and inflation.

The Insurance Department has for months been receiving rate increase requests from companiesand in most cases the hikes have been granted. The Insurance Commission Thursday delayed action on some rale increase filings until it can take a closer look at a report from an organization that is under contract to the department to analyze data on in-urance rates. McCain said the department has not had a chance to closely analyze the data in the report. But, he said, "It looks Home Rule Fails To Get Majority In Two Counties By R.

Burns. Carter and Burns have sharply different views on inflation and unemployment, and which is worse for the country. Carter also wants changes in the Fed's operations and the status of its chairman. Through its control of the American monetary system, the Fed influences interest rates and the money supply. Carter says he wants the Fed to wield that influence to speed up the economy and reduce unemployment.

This can be done without adding to inflation, the president-elect says. But people who know Burns say he remains convinced that inflation is the chief threat to the nation's economy, and they say it is highly unlikely he would suddenly switch signals just to suit Carter. Carter can't remove Burns, because Burns' term as chairman doesn't expire until Jan. 31, 1978. A source close to Burns said there is almost no chance Burns will step down early.

None of the terms of the other six members of the board will expire until 1978 either, so Carter will be unable to change Lack and performing. Now, he must take short, afternoon naps.

Edelson recommends basic steps toward better communication, such as calling your spouse's name before you begin talking, and making sure you and your spouse are looking at each other during conversations. "Make sure everything you said was accurate and it was understood," he said. "If you both know why you're doing it, then it's okay to ask if they understood what you were saying." Just as the speaker has to concentrate on saying exactly what is meant, the listener has to ask: "Am I hearing that right?" he said. Understanding each other's words, however, is only part of the battle, Edelson said. "What you say is important, but how you say it is even more important," he said.

"A reasonable request in the wrong tone or with the wrong expression can be a disaster." For instance, one of the worst thing you can say, according to Edelson, is: "You always leave the music up too loud." He suggested instead: "I'm sorry, I'm trying to concentrate on this right now and the music is bothering me." By TIMOTHY HARPER Associated Press Writer MADISON, Wis. (AP) '-r Most married couples don't listen to each other, and many get into fights as a result, says a professor who helps couples learn to communicate better. "The one thing that's real important is accuracy," said Jeff Edelson, a University of Wisconsin social scientist. "Very often one person will say something to the other when the other is feusy, they'll both assume something on that basis, and as a result nobody did the shopping when each of them thought the other would do it," he said. Edelson, who oversees "couple communication" classes aimed at easing marital strife, said husbands and wives often misunderstand each other by trying to work out major decisions in piecemeal conversations.

"You should not try to decide whether to buy a new car or something like that by talking about it a little bit, now and then," he said. "You should set aside a time to talk about it, like after dinner, to spend as Jose Iturbi, At 80, Has Stamina And Agility Younger Musicians By The Associated Press Voters in Orangeburg and Colleton counties will return to the polls Nov. 16 to determine which form of home rule government they prefer after ref-erendurhs Tuesday failed to give any one form a majority. The referendums were necessitated by a South Carolina Supreme Court ruling that the socalled "fifth form" of government is unconstitutional. In Orangeburg County, voters will decided between Form 3, council adminstrator, which received 6,680 votes, and Form 4, council manager, which got votes.

The runoff in Colleton County will be between Form 2, council supervisor, which got 3,319 votes, and council-administrator, with 2,808 votes in Tuesday's referendum. Colleton County voters also chose at-large council elections, 4,287, over single-member districts, 2,906. Orangeburg County had chosen single-member districts in an earlier referendum. The Home Rule Act of 1975 gave counties five forms of government from which to choose. The form was to be determined through a referendum or, if a referendum was not called, the form most resembling the county's present system was to be adopted.

In an earlier referendum, Orangeburg County voters chose the fifth form, or board of commissioners.

"Technically, theoretically," we should have impeccability in a performance. But not in one performance have I gone out on stage and returned and said: 'Ah, it was Never." After the concert, Iturbi went to a private reception and returned to his hotel suite about 2 a.m.

The aging virtuoso practiced until 5 a.m. on the piano. "We have a certain sap in us," he said. "It is cultivated and developed into a strict discipline.
