A2 Palm Beach Post, Tnesday, October 8, 1974 FTC Chairman: Agencies Favor Industries Oft (cl Mw Yert Times DETROIT -'in an unusual speech for a federal official, the chairman of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Lewis A. Engman. attacked federal regulatory agencies vesterday specifically including the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) and the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC). He charged them with protecting the industries they regulate in an unhealthy relationship that raises costs to the consumer unnecessarily and thus contributes to inflation. In his major address to 325 delegates at the fall convention of the Federation of Financial Analysts, Engman said that government-regulated businesses have become "federal protectorates, living in a cozy world of cost-plus, safely protected from the ugly specters of competition, efficiency and innovation," and called for re-examination of regulatory policies.

Engman's own agency, the FTC, is responsible with the Justice Department for guarding against monopoly 'and restraint of trade. He said the FTC liked to be thought of as a a. Kissinger To Visit Oil Nations "deregulator," and this is clearly what he had in mind today. Although most government regulation was enacted to protect the consumer from abuse, regulatory machinery today does little more than shelter producers from normal competitive consequences of "lassitude and inefficiency," he said. The result is that the consumer is "paying plenty in the form of government-sanctioned price fixing." As an example, Engman said that the CAB.

last month rejected an application by Laker Airways, a privately owned British airline, to fly regularly scheduled New York-to-London flights for a tittle more than one-third the "economy" fare now charged by Pan Am. TWA and "other members of the international rate-fixing cartel." Next Engman turned to practices of the ICC where new trucking companies, he said, are restricted from entering a market where rates are fixed by carriers given anti-trust immunity to do so. Kngman said "private estimates" indicate that regulatory measures in transportation may cost consumers 16 billion a year. Engman declared "Our airlines, our truckers, our railroad, our electronic media and countless others are on the dole. We get irate about welfare fraud.

But our complex systems of hidden regulatory subsidies make welfare fraud look like petty larceny." ceived in 1969 from Nelson A. Rockefeller, then governor of New York and now vice president-designate. In his discussion of the Middle East, he also said "there is no possibility" that he would see Yassir Arafat, the leader of the Palestine Liberation Organization. Kissinger added he would not see any Palestinian leader "while I am in the Middle East." The question of where to relocate Palestinians displaced when the modern state of Israel was created has been one of the major barriers to a Mideast peace agreement. Meanwhile, Arab and Israeli diplomats said yesterday they were pessimistic about the -V Police Escort Woman to Wagon chances of Kissinger's Middle East mission producing any breakthrough in getting both sides to reach a settlement.

The Israeli newspaper Ha'areti said Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and most of his cabinet favor a second stage troop withdrawal as a next peace step and will present the proposal to Kissinger. at the Driftwood Inn, 1 1 I i Weather Worst jL J3 Waves tyy as they disperse anti-busing group Boston Police Clear the Streets Of Busing Foes BOSTON (AP) Police chased about 600 anti-busing demonstrators through the streets of South Boston yesterday after a group of protesters stopped a black man and beat him. A police spokesman said a "regular melee" erupted as officers moved in to break up the crowd surrounding Andrea Jean-Louis. 31. Meanwhile, a spokesman for Mayor Kevin H.

White said the mayor had requested a meeting with U.S. District Court Judge VV. Arthur Canity for 9 a.m. today to "apprise him of the current situation" in the Boston public schools. Garrity issued the court order which mandated busing to achieve integration in Boston schools.

Police said Jean-Louis was driving through the area when his car was stopped by traffic. As the crowd approached, be left his car and ran. but the demonstrators caught him before police could move in to rescue him. The white demonstrators apparently had been waiting for buses carrying black children to leave a middle school. The buses had been rerouted.

A Boston City Hospital spokesman said Jean-Louis was treated and released. Police said he had suffered head injuries. Joseph E. Griffin, 33 of the South Boston section, was arraigned later in South Boston district court on a charge of assault and batter in connection with the incident, police said. He was released on 1.000 bail.

Police said at least six others were arrested in connection with the incident. Police reported earlier that 27 persons had been arrested. After the crowds were cleared. Police Commissioner Robert diGraua ordered bars and liquor stores closed in South Boston, the all-white neighborhood that has been the center of opposition to court-ordered busing. Tactical police went into taverns and herded patrons out on the streets.

Karuer, black students had been kept out of South Boston High School And at Roslindale High School, in another mostly white neighborhood, school officials described the situation as "very threatening" after about 500 persons threw books and surrounded buses carrying black children. There were 18 arrests on disorderly conduct or unlawful assembly charges in the Roslindale incident. School officials reported attendance throughout the city yesterday was 73 per cent. Last Friday, when anti-busing leaders called a white boycott, attendance was 51 per cent. Inside Roslindale High, about 200 blacks and 45 whites met with William Larence, a black assistant to Leary, and with William Lincoln, a white mediator who has been working with black and white students at Hyde Park High School.

Lash Boardwalk a Vero Beach Landmark Post of Deluge, Winds May Be Over Preea Pact Wirt Services WASHINGTON Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger has added three energy-producing Arab states to his Middle East trip, at the same time claiming the problem of the high cost of oil would be negotiated separately from the Arab-Israel issue. He told reporters yesterday at his first news conference in nearly two months that he will stop in Saudi Arabia. Algeria and Morocco, in addition to Jordan and Israel. Kissinger leaves tonight for the Middle East in his latest effort to rejuvenate negotiations for a Mideast settlement.

He is scheduled to return Oct. 15. None of the three countries added is directly involved in the Arab-Israeli situation, but each is pivotal in Arab policymaking on the price and supply of oil as well as related products such as natural gas. Still, Kissinger told reporters that "the impact of the high oil prices is not inevitably linked to the Arab-Israeli negotiations." Other officials acknowledged that the secretary could not escape discussing the oil situation during his trip, and Kissinger was cautious in discussing this concept during his news conference. At one point, he qualified himself by saying that "we believe that to some extent, these negotiations should be conducted in separate forums." "I would like to point out that there will be no concrete results in terms of agreements or dramatic announcements that can be expected out of this trip," Kissinger told reporters.

In another area, Kissinger said negotiations are starting in Moscow on the question of including peaceful nuclear explosions in a treaty to limit underground testing of atomic devices. The secretary denied this was an effort to renegotiate an earlier treaty signed last July that set a so-called threshold for atomic underground tests. In answering a question on President Ford's decision to hold up sale of 125 million bushels of grain to the Soviet Union, Kissinger said the problem came about because "we may have misled" the Moscow government. On other subjects Kissinger made these points: He did not operate any differently from his predecessors concerning direction and control of covert operations of the Central Intelligence Agency in other countries. He acknowledged there has been little progress in U.S.

efforts to arrange greater cooperation and unity among major industrial nations concerning an oil policy. He defended the propriety of a $50,000 cash gift he re- thai to reassert the House cut-off of aid until Ford can certify "substantial progress." Rosenthal's amendment also preserves strong House-Senate compromise language cutting off the flow of military shipments unless Ford also certifies that Turkey is in compliance with the U.S. Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. Rosenthal and others contended that Turkey violated the law by using -supplied military equipment in its invasion and occupation of Cyprus. Rosenthal told the House that Congress has an obligation to halt the flow of arms being used against the Greek Cypnots and said the move also would aid negotiations on withdrawal of Turkish troops from Cyprus.

"The United States must stop the flow of arms that so disrupts the equilibrium that it makes negotiations impossible," be said. But House Appropriations Chairman George H. Mahon who had urged approval of the compromise worked out with Ford, told the House "we're playing with dynamite in this motion." Mahon predicted that Congress' action will further complicate efforts to negotiate a settlement in Cyprus because Turkey will take it as "a slap in the face." fklnk attaiaa. aiieet Salaries' I' 'teteeeeis, Uk Fla laterei' at meal (ten mti flatt Pala link Paalnetl every Seltilef ni Seeaey as It Pile) lMk fail lasts.

Florida winds and high seas began subsiding yesterday but National Weather Service officials predict a 20 per cent chance of more showers today. Delray Beach officials estimated erosion damage to the city beach at J100.000, and on North Jupiter Island at least three homes were severely damaged by waves. Eggplant and bean crops in Palm Beach County also were damaged by the storms. Some Indian River County beaches lost several feet of sand, and erosion caused the collapse of part of the Ocean Grill restaurant in Vero Beach. In Boca Raton, firemen answered 21 rails to pump out flooded homes, and 5,000 residences in the city lost electricity or phones at various times Sunday The Miami area was windy and rainy but escaped the worst part of the storm At Cape Canaveral, the storm washed away part of a beachfront house before eventually moving toward Cape Hatteras.

The House took the final congressional step as it voted, 349-2, in favor of the compromise legislation which had cleared the Senate by voice vote last Tuesday.

Reps. Omar Burleson D-Tex and Earl F. Landgrebe (R-Ind.) cast the dissenting votes Rep. Frank Horton senior GGOP member of the House Government Operations Committee which produced the legislation, said he believes Ford will sign It. Senate-House conferees drafted the compromise in hopes it would overcome Ford's objections to earlier versions of the measure.

The bill, providing the first changes in the Freedom of Information Act since this law became effective on July 4, 1967, is intended to strengthen the public's access to government documents by generally making it easier and quicker to do so. A chief feature of the bill is designed to overturn a 1973 Supreme Court decision in which the justices, In a case in which several congressmen tried to force release of reports on environmental aspects of an nuclear test in Alaska, ruled that the President could classify documents generally free of judicial review. Basically, the bill would authorize federal courts to privately go behind a secrecy stamp and see if documents were properly classified. 1 tic Area Data Temperatures recorded for 24 hours ending at 8 yesterday at Palm Beach International airport, high 79, low 73.
