and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. City officials and civic organizations launched a massive effort Friday to prevent price-gouging if the World Series come to Detroit. An Action Line report that parking lot fees will sky-rocket during the series games in Detroit, which would be held Oct. 5, 6 and 7, provoked a chain reaction.

In quick order: 0 Common Council President Ed Carey instructed Corporation Counsel Robert Reese to search immediately for legal means to prevent price-gouging. Councilman William G. Ro-gell, who played shortstop for the Tigers from 1929-1940, said he would discuss prices at Monday's council meeting. The Detroit Police Department warned that it would crack down on ticket scalpers. The Detroit Convention Bureau sent a statement to its 500 members deploring "any unethical business practices" during the series.

The bureau reminded members that millions of television viewers and thousands of visitors will form lasting impressions of Detroit during the series. Action Line discovered Friday that 56 out of 163 licensed parking lots around Tiger Stadium have already filed notices of rate increases. Many lots plan to double or triple their rates for the series. The highest rate was filed by Trumbull Parking, 1915 Trumbull, which will raise parking fees from $1.25 for a normal baseball game to $10 for a World Series game. Reese spent most of Friday researching laws to see if the city can legally prevent price boosts by the parking lots.

A city ordinance requires parking lots to file notice with the Public Vehicle Bureau of the police department at least 10 days before new rates go into effect. But the city does not regulate parking rates. "They can charge what the traffic will bear," said Lt. Henry Morgan, head of the Public Vehicle Bureau. Leafing through his files at "random, Morgan found one lot that will increase parking fees from $3 to $7.

"If exorbitant prices are going to be established," he said, "the council should move as fast as possible to stymie it. It would be a terrible black eye for Detroit if, after 23 years, we got a pennant and then gouged everyone." Carey alerted the city's legal department, which will advise council about preventing a price gouge.

Mansfield said the CCC exemption was asked because of a "bumper wheat crop" that will require more subsidy payments to keep prices up.

Congress tied its approval of the tax surcharge with a mandatory $6 billion spending cut, reducing the President's budget for the current fiscal year from $186 billion to $180 billion. THE PRESIDENT told Senate leaders that he wanted the Commodity Credit Corp. (CCC) and Medicaid program exempted from the spending cuts. Senate Democratic leader Mike Mansfield said the ex debt and Social Security trust funds.

In this view, any personal participation in the campaign by Mr. Johnson might be more nearly produced by partisan attacks on his administration than by a positive strategy to elect Humphrey.
