expected in week or so
WASHINGTON (UPI) -
President Ford, stressing eco
nomic issues in a trip to the
Midwest, said he hopes to give
Congress his recommendation
“in a week or so” on whether
to extend into 1976 this year’s
recession-triggered tax cuts.
Winding up a two-day visit to
Chicago and Omaha, where he
was bom, Ford also told
Nebraska and lowa reporters in
a television interview Wednes

won’t stop him from campaign
ing for election in 1976.
He demonstrated his determi
nation not to let two recent
assassination attempts stifle his
dialogue with the public by
shaking hands in a crowd of
3,000 persons, mostly military
personnel and their families, at
Offutt Air Force Base, Neb.
And he waved over the top of
his limousine to a crowd
outside an Omaha hotel.
The President returned to
Washington to receive Japan’s
Emperor Hirohito at the White
House today.

“Hopefully, in a week or so I
will be able to make a specific
recommendation for a potential
tax reduction program with a
rigid restriction on federal
expenditures,” he said, appear
ing to tie his program to
Congress’ willingness to hold
down spending.
About $7 billion of the tax cut
went to individuals this year.
Taxpayers’ paychecks would
shrink from higher withholding
if Ford does not renew the cut.

Committee Wednesday unani

Democrats proposed additional
1976 cuts of $8 to 10 billion.
White House Press Secretary
Ron Nessen said, however,
Ford was considering only an
extension — not additional
reductions.

Packed prisons mean continuous crisis
ATLANTA (UPI) — Geor
gia’s prisons are being packed
“far beyond their capacity”
and face “a continuous crisis,”
Corrections Commissioner Allen
Ault said Wednesday.
“We have people sleeping on
the floor at Alto and Reidsville
... and you finally get to the
point where there’s no more
floor space to throw mattrsses
on,” Ault told the Senate Penal
Affairs Committee.
“We are straining our institu
tions far beyond their capaci
ty,” he said.
Citing the crisis situation,
Ault said his department
needed SSB million for state
prisons in fiscal 1977. His
budget request is for almost $22
million more than the current
budget.
Gov. George Busbee’s staff
presently is studying Ault’s
budget request, which includes
$19.7 million for construction.
The budget submitted Wednes
day includes only the correc
tional institutions and not the
probation and parole divisions
within the department.
The budget report estimates
there will be an average of
11,719 inmates in Georgia
prisons and county correctional
facilities by July of 1976, when
the 1977 fiscal year begins.
Georgia prisons were built to
house 8,000 inmates.
The department’s budget
request is the first step in the
long legislative process of
allocating state funds. Busbee,
after studying the request, will
make a recommendation to the
House and Senate budget
