XCI1I NO. 252 I 5 Cents 16 PAGES Expected to Ask Upper Income 5 Tax An appeal for sharp but voluntary cutbacks in energy consumption with a warning that dim-outs and rationing might be the alternatives. WASHINGTON (UPI) The idea of imposing heavier taxes on the middle class aroused no enthusiasm today in a Congress which is about to go home to seek re-election. Congressmen said they would have to be convinced by President Ford if as widely expected he makes a 5 per cent surtax the keystone to his program to fight inflation.

To prepare public opinion for Ford's program of austerity, the White House federal revenues, and the surcharge ought to be relegated to the discard heap he said. WASHINGTON (UPI) President Ford Monday launched a personal campaign tour on behalf of GOP candidates at a fund-raising dinner in Burlington, Vt. Outside, hundreds of demonstrators loudly protested the pardon of former President Nixon. Ford used the occasion to preview some anti-inflationary proposals he will present today before a nationally televised joint session of Congress. He was met by several hundred vocal sign-waiving young demonstrators at a reception near the University of Vermont campus after arriving there for a $50-a-plate dinner for retiring Sen.

George D. Aiken, at the university gymanisum. The protesters booed, chanted oppostion to the month-old Nixon pardon and A program to make local and state governments "employers of last resort" for those thrown out of work in the current stalemate. Up to 500,000 public service jobs in parks, hospitals, schools -might be created. A stiff $300 billion spending ceiling, involving a $5 billion budget cut, for the current fiscal year.

This would serve as a signal to the Federal Reserve to allow interest rates to climb down from their current peaks. Tax aid to some hardpressed industries, including housing and utilities, which need to expand to meet demands. Other tax incentives to spur investment in business and to induce people to save. shouted: "Jail Nixon," "Junk that Ford" and "No pardon." Several youths carried a large sign reading: "Nixon, Ford, what's the difference?" Another read, "Jerry, you old rattler." Once on the campus Ford went directly into the gymanisum where he received a standing ovation from the some 2,000 friendly Republicans. In his address Ford urged strong support of the two party system, called for an individual effort by Americans to curb inflation, and promised "to halt the rise in prices and problems it forces onto each one of us." Ford left the gymnasium by a rear exit but several hundred protesters waited for him on the campus yelling obscenities as he got into his limousine.

Several firecrackers were thrown. Neither Ford nor his press secretary Ron Nessen had anything to say about the protests on the flight back to Washington. Nessen said upon his return Ford called his wife, Betty, at Bethesda Naval Hospital where she is recovering from breast surgery. Baltimore Quints OK Members of the House Ways and Means Committee said they doubted Congress could adopt so comprehensive a program in the 30 days left after it returns from electioneering. Some members said they doubted the public could be brought to support higher taxes at a time when almost everything else was costing more too.

Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield said he would want a surtax limited to those who earn over $20,000 a year. By some reports, Ford was planning one that would hit couples earning over $15,000 or single people earning half that much. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, was flatly opposed.

Middleton Approves used harsh and rarely employed terms "restraint, self-discipline and sacrifice." Ford, acting after a month of consultations with every element of the public at the summit, was going before a joint session of Congress with his proposed solutions to the problems of inflation, energy housing, interest rates and unemployment.

It was scheduled for late afternoon, and White House press secretary Ron Nessen confirmed that it had been timed to come after the New York stock markets close. Asked if a surtax proposal was likely to hurt Republicans at the polls four weeks from today, Rep. John Anderson, replied: "Frankly, yes.

The school board decided that a request of residents of the Forge Road Development for an additional bus stop should be denied.

Instead, the directors approved a compromise solution. Residents of the development had wanted a bus stop at the top and at the bottom of a hill in the area.

impromptu news conference after the hearing. "Every governor had the event called an inaugural. They raised a bundle." Shapp said Watergate has made it "much more difficult to raise money." "I think the public first became aware of what can be the ill effects of this type of funding with the activities that went on with CREEP (Committee to Re-elect the President) and in Washington," he told reporters. The governor also denied allegations by committee GOP counsel Michael Willmam that more than $514,000 was raised by Pennsylvanians for Progress.

Critics Vow Cooperation J. BOILING SPRINGS The South Middleton Township Parks and Recreation Board last night was granted permission to use the South Middleton School District gymnasium.

The board Last month, 24,715 police radio transmissions were made over the county network. Of those 18,245 were from the West Shore area. "Now gentlemen," he said, "I think you've been served very well." One official voiced a complaint that it was sometimes difficult to get in contact with police officers through county control. "We don't know where your police are if they don't answer," Trostle retorted. He said the county's radio operators have tried for as long as 27 minutes to contact a policeman before succeeding.

"Looking over your budget, you don't have enough money to operate with five men as dispatchers, Trostle charged. "We're already operating with nine," claimed Mitch Smith, Lower Allen Township police chief. "Well, I don't see where the money is coming from," Trostle said. "The people on the West Shore are going to pay double for what they're getting."

"It does not necessarily follow that people who give money want something, but the press is hammering at this in the post-Watergate era and the whole system of financing elections has to be looked at." The governor said he had been opposed to the public financing of election campaigns, "but in the past four or five months I've been leaning towards it." Committee Chairman Patrick Gleason, R-Cambria, said the post -election dinners equaled the "pre-sale" of the administration, since a cochairman of the fund-raising group was Frank Hilton, who later was appointed secretary of Property and Supplies, the department which handles "The move is in no way intended as a criticism of the county network," the letter stated, "but to upgrade communication service to the West Shore communities." It added that no additional revenue will be needed for the transfer since radio equipment is already installed in the center and the present staff is adequate to handle dispatching responsibilities.

A target date for the new network was set for Jan. 1, 1975. Trostle was obviously disturbed by the proposal at last night's meeting. "I was surprised when I heard of this," Trostle told the officials, "because it took me 10 or 12 years to get the county's radio system organized. We have a unified police network, and I'd hate to see somebody break it up." He cited statistics from the county control.

Shapp Monday defended the 1970 postelection group that raised $514,000 to pay off his campaign debts but admitted Watergate has led the public to question such fundraising efforts.

The group called Pennsylvanians for Progress raised the money after the election but before Shapp took office by holding $100-a-plate dinners in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. In his second day of testimony before a Republican investigating committee, Shapp said he personally never profited from the money raised or gave out state business to contributors. He will make a final appearance on the witness stand today. "It has been historical to hold post Shapp Defends Fund Actions; Denies Any Personal Profit most state contracts. Gleason cited a Pennsylvanians for Progress staff memo which urged ticket sellers to go to lawyers, contractors, architects, tavern owners and other persons he said cither did business or were licensed by the state.

"You've raised a difficult point here," Shapp replied. "But historically in Pennsylvania or wherever unfortunately, you've gone to a list of people who've done business (with the state)." Gleason also questioned why the committee failed to file a detailed list of contributors with the Elections Bureau. Shapp replied it was not required by law. "In 1970, there were no rules or regulations that dealt with post-election fund raising," Shapp told reporters at an RF.P. PATRICK GLEASON GOV.
