to be resolved for Phase 4 including how to handle a potential rash of price increases termed a price bulge in government economics terminology The bulge would result from businessmen raising prices to cover increases in their costs which already occurred during Phase 3 and the current price freeze The price freeze started its second month Friday but i Cost of Living Council spokesman said is unlikely the freeze will continue the frill 60 days" that the country will be close to a balanced budget if President Nixon's proposed 1974 budget of (2687 billion is not exceeded Shultz told newsmen that tax increases tend to bad to bigger government and increased spending and don't necessarily restrain spending Further he noted tax Increases would have to be approved by Congress and Congress could get bogged down in a new discussion of tax reform which could delay the entire program The Phase 4 program expected to be announced sometime next week A White House spokesman said Friday that the President's illness was unlikely to cause a WASHINGTON (AP) Secretary of the Treasury George Shultz said Friday it Is unlikely that the administration's new Phase 4 anti-inflation program will Include tax increases But he confirmed it will include some restraint on the amount of increased costs that businessmen can pass on to consumers in the form of higher prices There has been some discussion in the administration whether to increase taxes as a way of slowing down the economy There has even been a suggestion for a compulsory savings plan for corporations But Shultz said emphasis will continue vn controlling federal spending He added Shultz said while there will be restraints on the price increases resulting from higher costs the government will have to be careful of the degree of restraint otherwise it could cause unwanted shortages Regarding the food industry Shultz said a dilemma is whether to allow a quick bulge of price increases or to spread them out over a period of time and risk possible shortages in food supply The secretary said he believes that Americans would rather pay higher food prices than have low prices and food shortages Shultz said another unresolved issue is whether to maintain US prices for coni' Panel wants newsmen out of Capitol AUSTIN (AP) A House study committee Friday recommended removal of the Capital Press Room to a nearby office and apartment building and exclusion of reporters from the House floor The House Interim Committee on Capitol Use and Public Information also proposed purchase of the Westgate Building a 24-story structure just west of the Capitol grounds for a legislative office building including news media quarters Additional space should be acquired with the construction of a $42-million

as food at a level lower than world prices If this is done he said then export controls will be required to prevent US goods from flowing out of the country in search of higher profits overseas That would in turn create the danger of domestic shortages A third unresolved issue is whether Phase 4 can be designed so that wage and price controls will end when no longer needed Shultz said He said it is possible that controls can be ended this year but said he could not say whether It was probable He said that like Vietnam it is easy get engaged in controls but difficult to out Administration officials already have Phase 4 controls probably will include an exemption for small business based the number of employes per volume business Shultz said the new program might provide for extending such exemptions upward to larger and larger businesses the need for controls lessens or that exemptions could be granted to entire industries as they become noninflationary to' get -said on of as i

files of 56 million servicemen 1 believe we have it whipped now" said one fire fighter we have to do now keep pouring water on it" I Embers smouldered even though the flames were put out and firemen said they State man arrested in alleged hijacking would continue to pump water on the smoking roof through the weekend The large volume of tightly packed paper and the 1800 square foot area in which it had to bum contributed to the length of the fire officials said Six fire fighters were treated at hospitals for smoke inhalation or minor injuries and as many as 20 suffered heat exhaustion The Federal Bureau of Investigation kept open the possibility of arson as a cause of the fire About a dozen fires of incendiary origin had been set in the past two years officials here said In the same building the past 24 months there have been about a dozen said his helicopter was hijacked during a charter flight Sinor said his client posed as a photographer who wanted to fly to Marietta Okla Sinor said the passenger brandished a 25-caliber pistol as they neared Marietta and ordered Sinor to fly west demanding also that he be permitted to fly the helicopter for a while which he did Sinor said he was forced to land the helicopter for repair at Wichita Falls He said the pair ate at a highway restaurant where the gunman was joined by a second man He said the pair left after Sinor refused to go with them He then telephoned police renovation would enable each legislator to double his office space from the present 350 to 700 square feet the committee said The speaker's and lieutenant

House services as printing Capitol media corps should be provided the same courtesies in the State House as those afforded at the Capitol in Washington DC" was the way the committee phrased its proposal to expell newsmen from the House floor is to die advantage of the media to be in its own reserved section in the House gallery The vantage point is greater and with telephone and communication facilities that this committee recommends made available behind the chamber on the third gallery level floor the media will enjoy greater overall coverage of the floor proceedings" the report said 15 B52s pulled out of Indochina in first reduction WASHINGTON (AP) The Pentagon announced Friday the first pullback of B52 bombers from the Southeast Asia war amid reports of differences within the Nixon administration on how fast to reduce US airpower there Defense spokesman Jerry Friedheim confirmed that a squadron-size force of 15 B52s was starting home from Guam the first reduction in the heavy bomber fleet committed to Indochina This will leave about 190 B52s on Guam and in Thailand with a month to go before the Aug 15 cutoff of all US military operations in Cambodia and elsewhere in Indochina "We have no further deployments of B52s planned at this Friedheim said While this ruled out any further withdrawals now it left open the possibility that additional heavy bombers may be brought back to the United States before Aug 15 In the background Nixon administration sources reported the decision to pull back the 15 B52s was preceded by some debate between Dr Henry A Kissinger President chief national security adviser and Pentagon leaders Secretary of Defense James Schlesinger was said to favor a staged withdrawal of more B52s than that Schlesinger apparently agrees with the Air Force which reportedly wants to get at least 100 of the big planes back to the United States About half of all this country's B52 strategic bombers had been committed to Indochina war which means they were not available for their originally intended role in this country's nuclear deterrent force New York policemen warned of mail bombs NEW YORK (AP) The 30000 members of the police force were warned FWday to be on the lookout for letter bombs mailed to their homes in plain brown envelopes The department's intelligence division was said to have learned that the

has been issued to its agents but added: "We reiterate constantly that this could cendiary origin!" said Howard Whiteley a General Services Administration official in Kansas City The area most difficult to approach was the middle of the building Fire fighters repelled for nearly 36 hours by the heat maneuvered with care to the perimeter of the sixth floor where they stood on ladders and pumped in tons of water to smother the flames The sixth floor houses about 26 million Army and Air Force records most of which were believed destroyed The center is the only depository for files an men and women from all branches of the service but most of those affected were pre-1960 files probably have to level the whole one fireman said was surprised to see that there was no more damage on the fifth floor There was just smoke and (about a half-inch of) water in Navy records are stored on the fifth floor and government officials feared they would be badly damaged by heat smoke and water The fashion in which the records were packed some in boxes and others on open shelves helped fuel the flames became Impossible to fight the fire from the said Loren A Hewitt a fire captain who got there first said it was like an oven and felt they were going to be baked alive" The General Services Administration which operates the million -square-foot building said it would be early next week before a cost estimate could be placed on damages Some of the burned records although not duplicated elsewhere could be reconstructed if needed through documents such as discharge papers a GSA
