the economy is starting to look good and Americans may be entitled to another major lax cut in President Ford said today The underlying fact about our economy is that it is steadily growing healthier My policies for 1976 are intended to keep us on that upward Ford said in his annual economic report to Congress He also said Regrettably a full recovery of the economy will take time Despite the of job gains this economic advisers said unemployment will almost surely remain distressingly high Even under the best of circumstances the return to full employment cannot realistically be accomplished this year or next Ford did not indicate how much taxes could be decreased in 1979 but be said the decrease would be on top of the 528 billion in permanent tax decreases he already has proposed for this year and next He also tied the prospect of future tax reductions to support for his spending recommendations including the budget he is proposing for fiscal 1977 If we continue in the years ahead to pursue the kind of budgetary restraint which I am recommending another major tax cut will be feasible by be said 1 Ford's economic report which Congress receives annually from the President and his Council of Economic Advisers stressed that the worst is over for the economy It said Americans can take satisfaction that the nation's economic system has come through intact There have been appreciable gains in reducing inflation which declined from 12 per cent in 1974 to 7 per cent in 1975 with an additional slowdown expected this year Ford said While I do not regard the events of 075 as fully satisfactory by any measure we should find it reassuring economic system withstood severe strains and displayed inherent strengths during the he said Unemployment remains a serious problem Ford said but it is slowly moving in the right direction Any attempt to bring the jobless rate down quickly could ignite new inflation and make matters worse in the tonf run he said Ford's economic report gave the following outlook for this will decline to about 7.3 per cent by the end of the year down from 8.3 per cent in December 1975 That means nearly 6.6 million still will will decline to about 6 per cent Winona Daily News year of publication Winona Minnesota January 12 Pages End of Pentagon spy agency is recommended WASHINGTON AP of the House intelligence committee is mending that a huge Pentagon intelligence agency be abolished and that stiff tions be imposed against government employes including members of Congress for leaking secret information Another recommendation calls for the House to create a permanent intelligence oversight committee and empower it to publicize secrets if the panel voted to do so by majority vote The recommendations arc to be tacked onto a final report approved by the panel 9 to 4 on Friday It estimates that total U.S intelligence costs are billion a year three or four times the amount listed in the annual defense appropriations The recommendations do not call for prohibitions against covert U.S operations but would require that they be approved by the entire National Security Council The staff recommends that the Defense Intelligence Agency be abolished and that its functions including the military attache program be divided between the CIA and the secretary of defense's office Another recommendation calls for the separation of the National Security Agency from the military agencies The NSA the agency would be made an independent civilian agency with a mandate to emphasize the gathering of diplomatic and economic information committee report also contains the following 1973 CIA memorandum says Sen Jackson advised the agency on how to try to prevent a CIA official from testifying at a Senate hearing

1968 Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia largely because it lost track of an entire Soviet division in Poland It also failed to anticipate India's explosion of a nuclear device rebels in Iraq suffered more than casualties in their rebellion The CIA supplied weapons to them only to withdraw U.S at the request of the Shah of Iran The exact amount that the defense appropriations to intelligence is classified but the report implies that the CIA has told congressional committees in secret that the figure is in the of billion annually The money in the defense also does not include intelligence spending for the FBI the State Department and several smaller civilian units The details on secret operations were included in the final report after a majority on the panel voted last week to publish the material despite objections of the White House and some members who argued that the committee had with President Fprd to give him final say on what secrets to release In grief Robert Renske is

of black and white elementary pupils to classes Although a few pupils were picked at some school board officials noted that only kindergarten through fifth grade children had classes today and middle and high school pupils were to report for class Tuesday Nevertheless drivers today followed routes that called for them to make stops at middle and high school boarding points No demonstrations were

JACKSON Miss AP Gov George Wallace says his victory in Mississippi's Democratic precinct caucuses is proof that his popularity in the South has not slipped As returns continued to trickle in from Saturday's caucuses Wallace led former Georgia Gov Jimmy Carter of Georgia by a margin of better than 3 to 1 Wallace said Sunday that the showing would help his campaign but he refused to speculate on whether the results would hurt Carter's bid for the presidential nomination I think some of the national press was ready to write that Wallace was slipping in the South that he'd lose in Wallace said It turned out we certainly haven't slipped Carter meanwhile said the results indicated that Wallace remains a stronger presidential candidate than some had thought Saturday's caucuses held at precincts across Mississippi were the first of four steps leading to the selection of the state's delegates to Democratic national convention As tallying continued in rural counties it appeared likely that Wallace had won a majority of the delegates to the state party's Feb 14 county conventions With 48 per cent of the estimated county convention delegates tallied 45 per cent of the delegates were pledged to Wallace and 27 per cent were uncommitted Carter had 13 per cent and Sargent Shriver had 12 per cent mostly from black precincts Sen Lloyd Bentsen of Texas and former Sen Fred Harris of Oklahoma had about 1 per cent each Wallace's percentage was expected to increase today as rural precincts were tallied His campaign coordinators said the rural counties most of which are predominantly white would give their least 55 per cent of the total The percentage of delegates chosen at the precinct level will give a general indication of who will control Mississippi's 24 voles at the Democratic national convention However an unknown factor in the complicated delegate selection system is which way the uncommitted votes will swing at the county and congressional district conventions
