BOSTON <AP> - Boston public schools were to open as usual today despite continuing racial violence over courtordered busing and a plea by a teachers' union that classes be suspended School Supt William J. I^esry rejected on Tuesday night a proposal to shut down schools made by the Boston Teachers' Union Executive Committee, which described the situation as “rapidly deteriorating.’' Mayor Kevin White commended leary for "resisting the union pressure by keeping the schools open." White called the union request "illconceived and unwise " l.eary said he would seek to convey the union's concerns to U S District Judge W. Arthur Garrity Jr., who ordered the busing which started when school opened Sept. 12. A hearing was scheduled for today by Garrity to hear White's request for 125 federal marshals to keep order in South Boston and check the spread of busing-related violence throughout the city. Gov. Francis W Sargent said the National Guard is readv to

rors and six alternates. The process continued to be carried out behind the closed, guarded doors of Courtroom No. 2. with all parties under orders from Sirica to say nothing. Hungate said the subcommittee reached an understanding Monday to postpone Ford’s testimony if there was no jury by 6 p.m Tuesday because of the advance time needed for security and other

Edwards said that law enforcement should be left to the sheriff's office and the state troopers. "Anyone who takes the law into their own hands — white or black — will be dealt with immediately, effectively and seriously." he said. David Duke. national director of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, said Tuesday that two dozen armed Klan security teams would begin patrolling Destrehan today. "Beginning tomorrow, we will help protect white people from rampaging black savages and murderers.” said Duke. Earlier Tuesday, state police booked a 16-year-old black Destrehan High student, Gary R. Tyler of nearby St. Rose Art shows youth CHICAGO (AP)—The unique world of American Indian children is depicted in an exhibition of their art work at the Field Museum of Natural History. The pictures made by these children, like children’s art everywhere, have about them both spontaneity and sophistication, qualities which adult artists seek to recapture. The exhibition, seen in Chicago Oct. 1-Dec. 2, includes more than 150 paintings, drawings, prints, beadwork and poetry by children ages 5 through 15. They were selected from Indian schools, museum art classes and community centers across the country and organized by the Native North American Artists and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

5 Percent surcharge

$15,000 wage earner^ to fight battle with inflation

WASHINGTON (AP) - If Congress approves, Americans earning $15,000 and above are going to finance most of the new war against inflation. That was made clear by president Ford in his economic address Tuesday. He offered proposals to help business, housing, the unemployed and public utilities. But for the taxpayer, he proposed a 5 per cent surcharge on income above $15,000 for families and $7,500 for individuals. He also announced a 5 per cent surcharge in corporate income taxes, but that will be more than offset by increases in the investment tax credit for businesses. Ford acknowledged that the proposed tax hike, which would apply to about 28 per cent of all taxpayers, would be politically unpopular. But he said it was the "acid test of our joint determination to whip inflation.” Here are some answers to questions that taxpayers may have on how the surcharge would affect them, if Congress approves it: Q. Will the surcharge result in a bigger withholding tax from my pay check? A. No, the tax would be paid when you file your 1975 income tax returns, which means you would not actually pay it until 1976. Q: Who will pay the surtax? A: Generally speaking, families with gross incomes of $15,000 and over will be subject to the tax. For individuals, the

cutoff is $7,500. Those with incomes below these levels would normally be excluded. Q. I’m making more than $15,000. Does that mean my total tax bill will be increased by 5 per cent because of the surcharge? A. No, basically the surcharge will be applied to the tax on your income above $15,000, although it’s slightly more complicated than that. If you are the head of a fami-

ly of four and earn $15,000, the government already allows you $2,000 in standard deductions and $3,000 in personal exemptions for your family. That leaves you with $10,000 taxable income. The surcharge would apply as a 5 per cent increase to any taxable income in excess of $10,000 in your case. In the case of an individual taxpayer who takes a $1,300 standard deduction and a

single exemption of $750, his taxable income is $5,450, and the surcharge would apply to anything over that. Q. Does this go into effect immediately? A. No, the President wants the surcharge to apply to 1975 income only. It would be a oneyear program. And Congress would have to approve it in any event

Ford campaigning against price-fixing

WASHINGTON (AP) - Butchers, bakers and zippermakers already are feeling heat from the Ford administration's campaign against price-fixing. Future targets may face tougher treatment and million-dollar fines. President Ford gave the attack fresh impetus Tuesday when he promised stem enforcement of antitrust laws and asked Congress for harsh penalties for violators. No President since Harry S. Truman has taken such a strong public stand against illegal corporate conspiracies, said government antitrust lawyers. The administration attack is

designed to end business practices which diminish competition and force prices up for the consumer. Assistant Atty. Gen. Thomas E. Kauper, head of the Justice Department’s antitrust division, has estimated that such practices cost Americans as much as $80 million a year. “I am determined to return to the vigorous enforcement of antitrust laws,” Ford said as he sent Congress proposed legislation raising the maximum fine for antitrust violators from $50,000 to $1 million for corporations and $100,000 for individuals. With his statement, Ford took up an attack which has

been gaining momentum in the department and the Federal Trade Commission. Though he endorsed its key elements, Ford said nothing about Atty. Gen. William B. Saxbe’s plea for stiffer prison sentences as well as fines for corporate conspirators. Saxbe called on Friday for legislation raising the maximum prison term for price fixing from one year to five years. Ford’s written proposals for tougher fines were sent immediately to Congress where a House committee earlier in the day approved legislation setting the maximum corporate fine at half the amount Ford asked.
