‘New York represents Sodom and Gomorrah
to the rest of the country and they’re all acting
like Baptist preachers’, Rep. Pees
N.Y.’s chance of getting
federal aid is very slim
WASHINGTON (UPI) -
After listening to his colleagues
give Mayor Abraham Beame
the Bronx cheer, a congress
man sympathetic to New York
City says he thinks there’s only
one chance in three that
Congress will aid the financial
ly stricken city.
“New York represents Sodom
and Gomorrah to the rest of the
country and they’re all acting
like Baptist preachers,” said
Rep. Thomas Rees, a Democrat
from Los Angeles, after mem
bers of a House banking
subcommittee finished with
Beame. ,

Rees.
A wave of hostile questioning
splashed over Beame at the
House hearing. Rep. Robert
Kelly, R-Fla., told Beame his
appeal demonstrated he had
“the most monumental sense of
humor.” Rep. Carroll Hubbard,
Jr., D-Ky., suggested the city
sell Shea Stadium to raise cash.
Rep. Richard Schulze, R-Pa.,
said his constitutuents opposed
aid for New York by a margin
of 30 or 40 to one. Rep. Fernand
St. Germain, D-R.1., said New
York has become the hottest
political issue of the day.
New York Gov. Hugh Carey,
a representative from Brooklyn
and a buddy of many congress
men until last January, follows
Beame on the witness stand
today to argue that New York
City’s default also could drag
the state down in a flight of
falling dominos. The state’s
budget is smaller than the
city’s.
In the Senate, Sen. James
Allen, D-Ala., threatened to
filibuster if the save-New York
legislation reaches the floor.
Democratic Leader Mike Mans
field said he doubted a
filibuster could be broken.

Ford cancels
official schedule
WASHINGTON (UPI) -
President Ford canceled his
official schedule again for the
second day in a row to
recuperate from a cold.
He called off plans to fly to
Columbia, S.C., and Gainesvil
le, Fla., Friday because of
sinus congestion. But a trip to
California, where his life was
threatened three times last
month, was still on his schedule
for next week.
The President’s doctor, Wil
liam Lukash, said Ford was
suffering Monday from a sinus
infection and a fever of above
100.
Ford has had the cold and
a hacking cough for at least
two weeks. But on Sunday, he
began to feel “feverish and
achey” after attending church
and playing tennis on the White
House courts.
On Lukash’s advice, Ford
canceled his engagements Mon
day and spent all day in and
out of bed in the family
quarters, seeing his top aides in
his study, wearing a robe and
tee was to meet this afternoon
to start considering whether to
approve a bill — and what form
it might take.
One option, according to Sen.
William Proxmire, D-Wis., the
chairman, was to allow default
to occur — and then provide
perhap $3 billion in loans to
keep vital services going in
New York and other cities
which might have trouble
selling bonds if New York

state as potentially endangered.
tan pajamas.
He also talked by telephone
to Vice President Nelson
Rockefeller and Treasury
Secretary William Simon.
Today’s schedule had called
for Ford to meet with
Republican congressional lead
ers to review the status of
legislation. He also planned to
meet with officials of the
National Homebuilders Associa
tion and to host a reception for
university presidents meeting
in Washington.
Nessen said Ford still intends
to travel to California Aug. 29
and 30 to keep commitments to
appear at Republican fund
raising dinners in Los Angeles,
San Francisco and Albuquer
que, N.M.
It will be Ford’s first return
to California since Sept. 22
when a shot was fired at him in
San Francisco. Seventeen days
earlier, in Sacramento, a
woman aimed a gun at Ford. It
also was disclosed Munday
night there was an apparently
unrelated plot against Ford the
same day as the first incident.

MEXICO CITY (UPI) —
Rescue workers using acetylene
torches cut through the wreck
age of two subway trains today
in a desperate, nightlong search
for survivors trapped in “the
safest system in the world.”
Authorities reported at least
26 persons killed and 55 injured
in the “impossible accident” —
a two-train crash in Mexico
City’s ultramodern subway
system.
One train slammed into the
back of another Monday when
the supposedly foolproof safe
guards of the city’s computer

“It was an impossible acci

Atlanta board
to respond
to demands
ATLANTA (UPI) - Members
of the Atlanta Board of
Education will react today to
proposals offered by two school
employe organizations regard
ing wages, hours and working
conditions.
Board President Benjamin
Mays said Monday evening the
board members would be
“phoning in their reactions”
today to proposals given the
board by representatives of the
American Federation State,
County and Municipal Emloyes
and the Atlanta Association of
Educators.
The board has granted
limited recognition to the
employe groups, agreeing to
recognize them as representa
tives of their respective mem
berships after the groups
backed down on demands for
“exclusive recogniion” as col
lective bargaining agents for all
employes of the school system.
AFSME represents about
1,300 non-teaching employes
and the AAE, about half of the
system’s 4,800 teachers.
A deadlock over the issue of
recognition in talks between the
organizations and the board led
to last week’s one-day strike of
the system’s teachers and blue
collar workers.
Former Mayor Ivan Allen
Jr., one of the neutral
observers, said Monday evening
that a meeting had not yet been
scheduled.
Witnesses said somebody
pulled the emergency handle to
stop the nine-car, rubber
wheeled train at the above
ground Viaducto station, four
stops from downtown Zocalo
Square.
A second train speeding over
the tracks behind, swept down
a slope and ploughed into the
back of the first train, crushing
many of the victims to death.
One witness said two of the
cars reared up to form a “V”
before flying apart and ripping
open the brightly colored
station’s roof.
The subway spokesman said

New Orleans and Honolulu was
brought to light in the June
report of the Rockefeller
Commission on CIA activities
and at hearings by other
congressional panels.
At hearings today, the Senate
committee set out to dig deeper
and try to find out how high up
was the knowledge and approv
al of administrations running
from Eisenhower to Nixon.
“We are attempting to piece
together the interrelationship of
the agencies involved and trace
the line of command — who
knew what,” a spokesman said.
Witnesses included Gordon
Stewart, Thomas Abernathy
and Don Glennon, senior
officials with the CIA Inspector
General’s department, and
Howard Osborn, CIA director of
security in the late 60s and
early 70s.

business claiming foreign
agents before 1952 knew the
U.S. mails were safe and used
them freely.
But the operation expanded
beyond suspected foreign

part of the ClA’s “Operation

dissidents and antiwar groups.
Considerable information also
was passed on to the FBI.
