Princess gives
birth to a son
LONDON (AP) — Princess
Anne gave birth to a 7 pound 9
ounce boy this morning, a day
after her fourth wedding anni
versary, and the baby’s grand
mother Queen Elizabeth II
made the first announcement of
his birth.
Arriving 10 minutes late for
an investiture at Buckingham
Palace, the queen told the
crowd awaiting her:
“I apologize for being late but
I have just had a message from
the hospital. My daughter has
just given birth to a son.”
Both the 27-year-old princess
and the baby were reported
“fine.”
The queen’s gynecologist,
George Pinker, had been called
to the palace at 4 a.m. when
Anne went into labor. After a
quick examination, Anne’s hus
band, Capt. Mark Phillips,
drove her in their Rover sedan
to St. Mary’s Hospital in West
London.
The baby was bom at 10:46
a.m. Phillips, who had been
present during the delivery,
telephoned the queen, who
talked to her daughter and then
went to the investiture.
The baby is the queen’s first
grandchild and is fifth in the
line of succession to the throne,
after the queen’s three sons and

his mother. But since any sons
bom to his three uncles will take
precedence ahead of his
mother, his chances of oc
cupying the throne are remote.
The baby is also the first
grandchild of a ruling British
sovereign to be born without a
title. The palace made clear
that his commoner father would
not be given the courtesy title
that in the past has been
traditional on the birth of such
royal babies, and Anne’s title of
princess confers no titles on her
children.

Investors interested in peace
between President Carter, Burns
NEW YORK (AP) - If you
judge by the stock market, in
vestors are much more inter
ested in peace between Presi
dent Carter and the Federal
Reserve System than in the
the break with tradition, but it
was another step by the queen
away from the pomp and cir
cumstance of the past.
The queen was the only mem
ber of Anne’s immediate family
in London for the birth.
Her father, Prince Philip, was
visiting relatives in Germany
and the news was telephoned to
him there.
Her older brother, Prince
Charles, was visiting friends in
the north of England, and her
two younger brothers, Prince
Andrew and Prince Edward,
were away at school.
dubious fate of the two-martini
lunch.
Seeking to erase publicly
recorded admissions of dis
agreements with Arthur Burns,
Fed chairman, the President
told Americans they had it all
wrong and that he and Burns
really saw eye to eye.
Analysis
That news didn’t even have to
be digested by Wall Street —
and perhaps it is just as well,
because the chairman and the
President do have very obvious
differences — before prices shot
up. So did volume.
To attribute the big increase
— 27.46 points on the Dow Jones
industrial average on just
Thursday and Friday of last
week — might seem to over
state the importance of good
relations between Bums and
Carter. But maybe not.
Arthur Burns has become a
symbol to the business commu
nity. He is trusted as the man
who can speak conservatism
without embarrassment. He

flag over inflation and waste

From their point of view he is
a realist. He believes that we
cannot emerge from economic
malaise without making it ad
vantageous to invest in Ameri
can industry. He knows in
vestors abhor confusion, dis
unity and indecision.
He has power. His influence
over the money supply and in
terest rates is greater than the
president’s. He can therefore
quite literally challenge the
president’s economic policies if
he feels they are ill-advised.
He does not flaunt that power
but he doesn’t shrink from using
it either. He isn’t afraid to speak
out, and in recent weeks he has
done so forcefully, about his
disbelief in Carter’s ability to
lower inflation and unem
ployment, for example.
He has also criticized Carter’s
energy policy and the ad
ministration’s consideration of
an end to the capital gains tax
advantages. The latter, he said,
would be “most unfortunate.”

the clout he used to have. He
would be a hero without power.
But, if there is genuine peace
between Burns and Carter,
there might even be a new term

the unemployment target.
It also does not require the
administration to take specific
steps to meet the goal.
A House labor subcommittee
plans to begin hearings either
later this year or early in 1978
on the bill, a spokesman said.
An aide to one congressional
backer said sponsors “foresee
the bill passing in 1978.”
The two sponsors of the origi
nal bill, Sen. Hubert H. Humph
rey, D-Minn, and Rep. Augustus
Hawkins, D-Calif., issued a joint
statement predicting favorable
congressional action.
“This legislation is of great
importance to every Ameri
can,” they said. “We are grate
ful to the president and his ad
visers for the priority assigned
to developing an agreement and
for the cooperative manner in
which the discussions were
carried out.”
AFL-CIO President George
Meany called Carter’s declara
tion of support Monday “a com
mitment to full employment
that we welcome.” But he
added that “a goal, without fol
lowup action, would be mean
ingless.”
But the chief U.S. Chamber of
Commerce economist said the
president was recommending a
policy “that will add to inflation
and the size of the federal
government.” Jack Carlson
said the bill’s goals are
“unattainable without causing
double-digit inflation.”
Carter conceded that the 1983
goal of cutting joblessness to 4
percent overall and 3 percent
for adults may be very tough to
meet. “But setting our sights
high challenges us to do our
very best," he said in a state
ment.
Unemployment has been run
ning at 7 percent of the total
work force but has been much
higher for young workers, in
cluding black youths.
Earlier versions of the bill
called for reducing unemploy
ment to 3 percent within four
years — one year less than the
revised bill allows. They also
called for government public
service jobs as a last resort for
adults unable to find work else
where.
