The number of building permits issued for future home construction fell even more steeply 13 percent, the Commerce Department said. Michael Sumichrast, chief economist of the National Association of Home Builders, said the decline in last month is only a hint of things to come. The "real scary numbers 20 percent to 25 percent drops per month" will show up by January, he said.

His association predicts that housing starts next year could plummet to 1.1 million, nearly a million units less than in 1978. Other economists put next year's rate of starts at 1.3 million to 1.5 million. Jay Janis. chairman of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board, said the drop in housing permits anticipates "the downturn that will likely occur over the coming months" in the entire homebuilding industry. Homebuilders' woes could deepen the expected recession, many economists say.

Whether that recession has arrived remains a subject of debate among economists. and saved more in October, a typical characteristic of a recession," said Jack Carlson, chief economist of the National Association of Realtors. Commerce Department economist William Cox said the drop in spending reflected steep declines in auto sales. Car sales in October plunged 17 percent and industry analysts believe volume may fall even more this month, with the financially ailing Chrysler Corp. feeling the tightest pinch.

A continued savings surge would certainly hurt U.S. automakers, but could temper inflation, which is caused partly by heavy spending and credit use. On Oct. 6, the Federal Reserve Board took sweeping anti-inflation action, largely to tighten credit. But the move boosted interest rates to nearly 16 percent for the very best bank customers.

And mortgage rates have exceeded 13 percent in those states where banks are still making home loans. The impact of these record-high interest rates shows up clearly in October's housing starts report, Cox said, and homebuilding activity will slow more precipitously in the coming months, housing experts say.

Washington (AP) American incomes continued to lose ground to rising prices last month, while homebuilding began hat may be a long, steep slide due to rising interest rates. The Commerce Department reported Monday that personal, pre-tax income rose 0.8 percent in October to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $1,975.1 trillion. That means that every American received, at an annual rate, an average of $7,495. The figure includes all income, ranging from wages to welfare to dividends. But the increase In income was less than the rate of consumer price inflation, which has been rising at about 1 percent a month, or more than 13 percent a year.

Despite double-digit inflation, Americans in October saved much more of their new income than in recent months, the Commerce Department said. Consumer spending increased only $2.7 billion during the month, compared to a $26.1 billion increase in September, the department reported. Meanwhile, savings rose $7.5 billion last month, compared with a $20.3 til-lion decline in September. "The cautious consumer spent less Biographer knew Carter had problems Champaign (AP) Betty Glad thought she was writing a controversial book about Jimmy Carter when she began the project in 1976. But times, and opinions about the president, have changed.

Others now share her criticisms of Carter. "When I started this book, everyone was saying he was going to be a second Franklin Delano Roosevelt and I didn't think he was," said Glad, a political science professor at the University of Illinois. "I knew he had some political problems, but I didn't know why." Glad was in Washington, researching was born in Chi- Lois Baynes cago, daughter of Oscar and Irene M. (Kubal) Lundy.

Paul Simon, today endorsed Sen.

Edward M. Kennedy, for president and suggested Chappaquiddick may have strengthened the senator's leadership capabilities. Tackling a potentially volatile campaign issue directly, Simon said: "History suggests that sometimes leaders who have been refined in the crucible of tragedies have become among the finest of leaders." He said Chappaquiddick could provide Kennedy with "more of a sense of perspective." Simon, who represents 22 counties in southern Illinois, told the Capitol news corps here that he was supporting Kennedy not for "nostalgia" but because the senator offers "a more vigorous approach to this nation's future." Flanked by R. Sargent Shriver, a Kennedy brother-in-law and one-time Democratic vice-presidential nominee, Simon confirmed at a news conference that President Carter and Vice President Mondale had made personal appeals Monday to dissuade him from joining the Kennedy team. And he praised each of them.

Carter, he said, "has been an above average president a far better president than the public recognizes." "I have great respect and admiration for Vice President Mondale. If he had been named chief of staff right from the start and given greater authority, we would have a much different situation today." But Kennedy, he said, "could give the nation more of a sense of purpose and direction." Simon explained, "One of President Carter's problems is that he is almost too nice a person; he has shown a reluctance to 'step on to make the tough decisions that are essential to get inflation under control. Simon said it would have been better politically for him to have remained out of the Democratic presidential battle. "But the choice for president is the most important decision the nation faces ever four years. Because I have some insights, through my Washington service, it would be a disservice to the people of my district not to let them know my views."

"We'd better get to the job of rebuilding our military capability and giving the kind of strong leadership that's necessary to reassure our allies and to be an adequate warning to our adversaries," Ford said. Ford called the crisis in Tehran, when the American embassy was seized two weeks ago, the most serious challenge the country has faced since World War II. He said he would not try to second-guess Carter in handling it "because it is too important and the dangers are too great. Texas Gov. William Clements Jr.

blamed a lack of a national energy policy directly on Carter, saying the situation in Iran already is affecting oil supplies in the United States. Austin, Texas (AP) Republican governors are forging a 1980 campaign theme by blaming Democrats for leaving the country without an energy program when Iranian oil is being shut off again. Foreign policy, linked by Iran to the coming winter and feared fuel shortages at home, has become a dominant theme at the governors' annual meeting. Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger is a featured speaker. The governors and their guests have been careful to avoid direct intrusion into President Carter's handling of the Iranian crisis, but they're clearly blaming Carter and the Democrats for the overall situation.
