WASHINGTON A flood of
applications for President Ford's amnesty
program has hit the armed forces and
clemency board with only three weeks left
before the offer expires.
But officials say the offer made to heal the
wounds left by the Vietnam war is being
taken up by few who deserted as a result of
antiwar feelings. Most of the returnees give
the same reasons for deserting that have been
heard since the Roman legions problems
with girlfriends, family strains, financial
debts, emotional stress in the military,
environment.
There are three separate parts to Ford's
amnesty program: the Defense
Department's program for deserters; the
Justice Department's program for draft
evaders; and the Presidential Clemency
Board whjch can dear the records of men
already convicted of desertion or draft
evasion.
None of the programs were overwhelmed
by applicants when Ford made the offer
Sept. 16, but officials predicted there would
be a surge in the closing weeks as the fearful
became convinced there were no tricks or
catches and that time would run out Jan. 31.
The prediction has come true. Last week
an average of 64 deserters volunteered for
the program each day, exceeding even the 60
a day average set in the first week of the
program. The flow had slipped to a trickle of
only 14 a day during the Thanksgiving-

Christmas holiday periods.
A spokesman for the clemency board said
this weekend, "We're going crazy here. This
place is a madhouse."
She said the board had received only 900
applications between September and last
Monday, then got hit with 245 on Tuesday
and Wednesday alone. Officials have not yet
tabulated the applications for the rest of the
week.
But even with the upsurge, the overall
return remains small. Of 6,200 draft evaders
eligible, only 175 or 2.8 per cent have signed
up for amnesty.

RALEIGH Officials of North
Carolina's only natural gas pipeline supplier
Sunday notified Gov. James E. Holshouser
Jr. they would restore 10 per cent of the gas
lopped from the state's allocation in the
firm's most recent cutback.
Holshouser's press secretary. Jack Childs,
said Holshouser was notified by telephone
by officials of Transcontinental Gas Pipeline
Co. (Transco) of the action and said
Holshouser was naturally pleased but it is a
long way from solving the problem.

Heinz said Saturday all manufacture and
distribution of dry baby cereals had been
halted pending redesign of protective
systems in its manufacturing process.
Those cereals recalled were instant rice,
instant barley, instant oatmeal, instant
mixed and instant high protein all dry
cereal products produced only at the firm's

The most recent discovery
contaminated cereal was last week
Charlotte, N.C, where a box of Heinz mixed
baby cereal was found to- contain tiny pieces
of aluminum.
. Heinz, which manufactures 250,000 cases
of dry baby cereal annually, estimated the
cereal recall will cost about $250,000.
A Dec. 27 curtailment by Transco brought
North Carolina's natural gas supply to an
average of 454 per cent short of demand,
and in some places the shortage hit 55 per
cent. Sunday's action restored 10 percent of
the 6.75 billion cubic feet curtailed in
December.
Childs said North Carolina would
continue its actions before the Federal
Power Commission (FPC) which include a
petition for emergency gas supplies and a
Jan. 27 hearing to determine why North
Carolina has been so hard hit by gas
shortages.
And, said Childs, the state would take its
case to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in
Washington this week, seeking to have the
FPC forced to divert gas to North Carolina
from other states.
North Carolina officials have been told,
said Childs, that their petition for emergency
gas supplies was not specific enough as to the
nature of North Carolina's emergency.
The State Utilities Commission, because
of the Transco cutback, has ordered the
state's three gas distributors not to take on
any new customers until the end of the winter
heating season April 15.
They said the shortage hit hardest in
North Carolina because the state has a

additional public service jobs and an

If the more traditional measures do not
show significant .progress in reducing
interest rates by mid-summer, the plan says. -Congress
should consider enacting a
progressive tax on the income derived from
interest rates of 9 per cent and above.
The seven-page document was prepared
by a task force of the Democratic Steering
and Policy Committee. Rep. Jim Wright, D
Tex., was chairman of the group, named by
Speaker Carl Albert.

proportionately higher number of industries
which rely on natural gas.
A 15 per cent curtailment in the 1973-74
winter season worried state officials but
voluntary conservation kept the state out of
serious difficulty then.
Challenging Congress to take the initiative
immediately rather than wait for presidential
proposals, the program criticizes economic
policies of the Nixon administration as cruel
and indirectly calls those of the Ford
administration half-way and timid.
. The Democratic presentation will come
two days before Ford's State of the Union
address, "in which the President plans to
unveil his own new programs for coping with
the twin ills of inflation and recession.
First among these was tax reform and
relief.
"This can be achieved," the plan said,by
increasing the personal income tax
exemption, the standard deduction and
minimum income allowance, by reducing the
weight of payroll tax liabilities upon the
working poor and or by a system of
individual tax credits."
Federal income lost in such reforms
"should be recouped to the extent
reasonably possible by closing the loopholes
that now enable large corporations and
wealthy individuals to pay little or no taxes
at all," it said.
The Democratic leadership called the
existing 7.1 per cent level of unemployment
intolerable and said the stagnating state of
the economy was underlined by the fact that
the last Congress appropriated three times as
much for unemployment compensation as it
did for public service employment.
"Public service jobs . . . should be provided
in an adequate dimension to fill the slack
productivity while other policies are
generating a revival of the private sector,"
the plan said.
The plan said an alarmingly increasing
gap between U.S. energy consumption and
domestic production threatens both the
economy and national security. Because
voluntary conservation measures have not
worked, it said, more stringent short-term
measures are imperative.
If a gas tax is adopted, it said, the revenue
'should go into a trust fund to finance an .
accelerated program of searching for
alternative energy sources.
It said, "we need a tough but selective
program to halt the current wage-price
spiral." It proposed an independent agency
with power to issue subpoenas, to order price
increases delayed up to 90 days and to
impose more permanent controls in extreme
cases.
