Mr. Anderson, in a letter addressed to Americans, said many qualified voters didn't cast ballots in the 1974 elections. "Many who did were voting against inflation, corruption, and the "ins."

"It is time to say no to the militarists," said McGovem writing in the Rolling Stone Magazine. "We must refuse to be persuaded that the process of negotiations is more important than their purpose. "We must repudiate the 'bargaining chip' absurdity and reduce a bloated arms budget.

Most of those countries were Arab allies of Egypt during the October Middle East war.

The Council has issued a number of policy statements during its meeting here, including one on energy. The energy plan calis for allocation and rationing of fuel. The group also proposed a two-tier system to ddcf consumption.

Under the council's proposal, after coasumers use up their rationed amount of fuel, additional consumption would be taxed at much higher levels and the revenues from the tax would be "earmarked for the reduction and the ultimate elimination of commuter transit fares and for the development and construction of mass transit systems."
