PHOENIX, Ariz. (AP) - President Ford has assured Americans they need not postpone purchases to help fight inflation and that he will not seek wage and price controls or higher gasoline taxes. Fielding wide-ranging questions at an on-the-road news conference, Ford also said: —He wants Congress to promptly confirm Nelson A. Rockefeller as vice president and stressed there are “no conditions I can imagine" that would force him to withdraw Rockefeller's nomination. —He won’t fire Gen. George S. Brown as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff for his remarks about Jewish influence in America. —He plans to make his trip to the Far East as scheduled next week —Republicans “took a licking" in last week’s congressional elections because of past scandals and a slumping economy but that is no reason to change the GOP role as "a middle-of-the-road party.” —While the United States can't force Israel to negotiate with the Palestine Liberation Organization, he said “our plans are aimed at trying to get Israel to negotiate additional settlements” with Egypt and other Arab parties. Ford held the news conference at a convention of the Society of Professional Journalists. Sigma Delta Chi, after a speech to a convention of real estate agents in Las Vegas where he altered the emphasis of his anti-inflation advice to American consumers. The President previously had urged consumers to “save more” as one way to help in the battle against inflation, but he told the real estate agents he strongly opposes suggestions that the best way to defeat inflation is to curtail buying. He defended his economic proposals, declaring “I see no justification for any major revisions” in the package he presented Congress last month. As for wage and price controls, Ford declared anew that he will not ask Congress to enact mandatory or standby controls and that there are “no circumstances I foresee today that would justify" such controls. When asked whether he had in mind any tax increases other Bazaar - Continued from page 1 and crafts is eligible to participate in this program. There is no membership fees or dues.

than his proposed five per cent surtax, Ford responded “no.” He nixed talk of a possible gasoline tax increase. The talk had been spurred anew by Interior Secretary Rogers C. B. Morton’s assertion this week that such a tax boost was under consideration as an alternative. The President scorned suggestions that the nation faces a possible depression. He said his economic proposals and existing safeguards such as unemployment insurance would prevent any depression. Ford was firm in his defense of the Rockefeller nomination and in his insistence that Congress confirm it. “There are no conditions that I can imagine ... under which I would withdraw Gov. Rockefeller’s name,” he declared. Referring to Rockefeller’s gifts and loans, Ford said, “If you have that much money you ought to have the right” to give some of it away. Referring to Democratic victories in last week’s elections, Ford said the Democrats won "some sort of a mandate. They have an obligation, they have a responsibility. But they also have an accountability.” INMATE STABBED PENDLETON, Ind.

Beef imports down sharply

WASHINGTON (AP) - Beef imports continue to be down sharply from 1973 but new figures from the Agriculture Department indicate there will have to be further decline the last three months of 1974 to be within official estimates. During the first three quarter! of mis ysar meet imports totaled about $08.5 million pounds, down 18 per cent from 966.3 million in the first nint months of lest year, the USDA

said Thursday.

Agriculture Secretary Earl L. Butz estimated on Oct. 2 that meat imports for calendar 1974 would total a little more than 1.1 billion pounds, a cutback of 18 per cent from the more than 1.35 billion ‘ that entered the U.S. market last year. The fine-tuning on meat import figures has taken on new importance the past year because of the economic troubles facing U.S. cattle producers, including lower market prices for slaughter animals and

higher feed costs.

As a result, producer groups and many farmbelt members of Congress have urged the Ford administration to tighten up on meat imports, ranting from demands for routine enforcement of a 1964 meat quota law to an all-out embargo until the U.S. beef industu.s. cattle producers from foreign beef dumping, applies to fresh, frozen and chilled beef, veal, mutton and goat meat. Nearly all is beef used for manufacturing purposes, including hamburger. Australia normally provides about one-half the yearly total, followed by New Zealand, Mexico and a dozen other countries. In June 1972, President Richard M. Nixon suspended the quota apparatus so that unlimited beef imports could enter. This was during a time of rising cattle and retail beef prices. The restrictions also were suspended for calenjar 1973 and 1974 by presidential order. President Ford said in Sioux City, Iowa, on Oct. 31 that he intends “to carry out the intent of the meat import law” next

year.

“If imports of meat, subject to the meat import law, threaten to pick up markedly during the next year and exceed the

Agriculture Department’s estimate of 1975 import quota’s trigger level under the meat impart law, I will either impose quotas or negotiate voluntary export restraint agreements with foreign suppliers,” Ford said. - . But the 1964 meat import law ia tailored to U.8. output, meaning that when annual beef production goea up — aa It haa for many yeara — ao does the

quota.

The law requires the secretary of agriculture to make quarterly estimates of how much meat is expected to be imported for the entire calendar year. If any one of the estimates exceeds the basic quota by 10 per cent, the law says fullfledged quoas can be ordered for the jemainder of the year. But that has not happened since the law was adopted 10 years ago. Beginning in the Johnson admincstration in 1968, it appeared on a number of occasions that imports would exceed the 10 per cent leeway or trigger level. Each time, however, the U.S. negotiated “voluntary restraint” agreements with supplying countries in order to avoid strict quota enforcement.
