Unsettled UC Hospital Issue Opens Contested Hearing
Almost 500 residents of Union City packed Erie council chambers as the Comprehensive Health Planning Council debated the Union City Memorial Hospital. The board voted to table the decision for a week to allow more facts. CHPs proposed plan would convert the hospital into an ambulatory community medical center with fewer beds, sending many patients to Hamot or St. Vincent's. Union City doctors warned that closing the hospital would leave the borough without local physicians. State and federal health officials favored a compromise while supporting a two bed to two yet uncertain plan, with a Union City meeting scheduled next week to resolve the issue before the CHP contract deadline.

Ford urges higher taxes and less energy to curb inflation
President Ford seeks a bipartisan push for higher taxes and reduced energy use as part of an anti inflation program aimed at job growth and steadier prices. He backs a 5 percent surcharge on incomes above $15 000 for couples and $7 500 for individuals while Congress moves to cap spending and unlock $2 billion for housing. The plan faces political risk ahead of elections as lenders explore streamlined steps to pass the measures.
