Monday through .4: WASHINGTON (UPI) President Ford said Friday that the United States has snapped out of an isolationist trend, and he promised America's allies that ''we will meet a crisis, and we will live up to our commitments."

BY TOM KLEENE AND GREGORY SKWIRA Fraa Pratt autlnatt Wrltart I General Motors Corp. announced Friday that it will introduce a new small car in the 1976 model year smaller than any U.S.-built model currently on the market. Chairman Thomas A. Murphy told the annual meeting of shareholders that the new entry also will be "more mod-, ern and more fuel-efficient that any being built in America today." Murphy did not expand on the description of the new car, but he seemed to be confirming widely circulated reports that an American version of GM's so-called Car will be added to the Chevrolet lineup for the upcoming model year.

THE MEETING, moved to the Fisher Theater after 10 years at Cobo Hall, was attended by 849 shareholders, a slightly larger crowd than last year.

In his formal remarks to the meeting, the GM chairman was optimistic about the long-term outlook for the automobile business but did scale down his sales forecasts for 1975.

The subject rev portedly was dropped from consideration. But while one source who has seen the minutes said the' subject was immediately dismissed, two sources say a memo was written two days later by an assistant to then-Defense Secretary Robert S.

The home, in a sparsely populated subdivision, formerly was owned by Gary Addison Taylor, the so-called phantom sniper of Royal Oak who terrorized southern Oakland County communities in 1956 and 1957.

Houston, authorities are holding Taylor without bond on charges of raping a child and four other sex offenses, including three counts of sodomy. Houston police supplied the information ihat led to discovery of the bodies in Michigan. Taylor's wife, Helen, who now lives in San Diego, told Houston authorities through her attorney that her husband buried four bodies when they lived in Lenawee County from mid-1973 to early 1974.

BY WILLIAM MITCHELL Praa Prats Staff WrtMf A former Michigan mental patient who has been linked with the disappearance of five persons and a series of sex crimes was released from a state institution in 1572 because its director said he was not mentally ill. Dr. Ames Robey, director of Michigan's Center for Forensic Psychiatry near Ann Arbor, said Friday that he thought the patient, Gary A.

Taylor, would be dangerous only if he failed to take his medication. Robey's conclusion conflicted sharply with that of another psychiatrist who examined Taylor in 1959 and said he would "require lifelong incarceration" unless there were a dramatic breakthrough in psychiatric treatment. The psychiatrist, Dr. William E. Gordon, also said: "Any further effort to return him or to attempt even to return him to a social world will be a frank and overt indication of extremely pcor judgement, total disregard of the welfare of society, and grossly defective moral and ethical senses on the part of any and all who might participate in such efforts." The ability of psychiatrists to diagnose mental diseases uniformly or to predict dangerousness accurately has been called into question in Michigan lately as part of the controversy over a new state mental health code and recent court decisions.

Taylor had been confined in Ionia State Hospital for most of 13 years when he was transferred to the Forensic Center in 1970.
