Carter to Recognize China and Break Ties With Taiwan
President Carter announced formal diplomatic recognition of the People’s Republic of China on New Year’s Day, severing relations with Taiwan and planning a Washington summit with Vice Premier Teng Hsiao-peng. The U.S. will withdraw troops from Nationalist China, maintain cultural and business ties with Taiwan, and upgrade China’s Washington mission to an embassy, while ending the mutual defense treaty with Taiwan. The move drew praise from some senators and fierce criticism from Barry Goldwater, as Congress had urged consultation before normalization.

Presidential Board Proposes Settlement in N and W Rail Strike
A presidential emergency board on Friday urged a settlement to end the Norfolk and Western clash with the Brotherhood of Railroad and Airline Clerks. The report, issued to President Carter, outlines five years of job protection with seniority rules, layoff benefits for coal pier staff, and tighter limits on extra board workers, as unions and the company review the findings. The strike halted two thirds of U S rail traffic, prompting cooling off orders and a temporary stalemate awaiting the 30 day rule before resuming a walkout.

Miller Sees Higher Inflation Than Administration Forecast
Federal Reserve chairman G. William Miller told the Joint Economic Committee that consumer prices may rise more than 8 percent next year, a bleaker forecast than the Carter administration’s. He warned a recession would worsen inflation and dampen growth, but said a deep recession is unlikely. Miller backed administration anti inflation efforts while predicting limited success and a 6.75 to 7.5 percent GNP inflation rate for 1979.
