International Summit On Economy Considered
President elect Jimmy Carter may back an international economic summit after taking office, said adviser C Fred Bergsten. President Ford attended similar summits in 1975 and last June, with talk of a third in Japan next year. Rising global economic difficulties and potential oil price hikes by OPEC threaten recovery efforts and could raise the world oil bill by about $12 billion if prices rise 10 percent.
