prompts GM to cut
16 production lines
DETROIT (UPI) - General
Motors Corp today announced
it was curtailing production of
new cars at 16 plants during

Nadar group says tax
whack good for rich
WASHINGTON (UPI) - A
Ralph Nader group says a
congressional report, drafted
with help from the administra-
tion, slanted statistics in an
effort to show that tax
loopholes help middle-income
families more than the very
rich.
It’s actually the other way
around, the Tax Reform Re-
search Group said Thursday
The group attacked a report
published last June by the
House Ways and Means Com-
mittee in consultation with the
Treasury Department
Robert Brandon, director of
the Nader-backed group, said
the committee reported that

sparse holiday travel may have

Fifteenth Street looked like it
was locked in a blizzard when
caravans of huge lime trucks
dumped tons of time on the
approaches to the new overpass
and on the roadbed of the new
paving project. The lime,
usually mixed with water, was
dumped dry on the roadbed,
mixing with nearly two inches
of rainfall which fell early in the
week. The lime is part of the
sub base for the paving of the
street. Construction crews are
expected to begin pouing
concrete on the new overpass
early in the week. The top photo

unloading on the west side of the
overpass At left one of the
trucks, being pulled by a
bulldozer through the ankle
deep mud, spreads lime on the

HOUSTON (UPI) - Skylab 3

it could cause some minor
problems in a planned study of

Flight director Philip C.
Shaffer said evaluation of the
malfunction was underway and
it “is still too early to tell"
what all the effects will be

Bulletin
COPENHAGEN (UPI) -
Saudi Arabian Oil Minister
Sheikh Ahmed Zaki Yamani
threatened Thursday night to
blow up his own oil fields in
case of U.S military interven-
tion against the Arab oil
boycott.
Yamani, who arrived in
Copenhagen this week on a
private visit to see his doctor,
conferred with Danish Foreign
Minister Knut B Andersen for
an hour Friday and said later
the session was helpful and
friendly
Carr. Edward G Gibson and
William R Pogue, who made a
record-breaking Thanksgiving
Day spacewalk to repair an
earth sensing antenna, were
told of the problem when
awakened at 7 a.m. EST
Shaffer said the gyro cannot
be repaired but that it will not
cause problems in controlling
the normal flight of the space
lab during its 84-day mission
He said, however, that if
another gyro failed, then the
flight would probably have to
be curtailed within 20 days He
said there was little likelihood
of that occurring.
Shaffer said maneuvering for
agreement on the last—and
most controversial—point in the
six-point cease-fire agreement
signed Nov. 11.
U N officials in Cairo said
today that “slight progress was
made” at Thursday’s 44 hour
meeting in the tent 60 miles
from Cairo while a sandstorm
raged outside.
The U N officials said both
sides were “getting down to
practical details, with maps on
the table." The point at issue is
to settle the question of a
return by military forces to
their positions of Oct. 22 when
the first United Nations cease-
fire was to go into effect
Fighting, however, continued
for another 36 hours and the
Israelis contend it would be
impossible to establish the Oct
22 positions.

Holiday
deaths
top 200
By United Press International
Deaths in Thanksgiving holi-
day weekend traffic edged past
the 200 mark in the nation
today, while various state
authorities sought to determine
the success of mandatory or
proposed lower speed limits.
The 102-hour holiday period
which began at 6 p.m.
Wednesday was nearing the
halfway mark as the 200 figure
was passed The National
Safety Council in estimating the
possible traffic toll 24 weeks
ago, said that 625 to 725 persons
might die
But while the council said it
had no figures on which to
estimate the effect of lower
speed limits and possibly
reduced travel, reports from
states varied as to their effect
A private firm's survey in
California, which cut highway
speeds from 70 to 65 miles per
hour, showed motorists appar-
ently heeding the slowdown
But Michigan state police said
relatively few persons were
following a gubernatorial
suggestion that they cut speed
to 50 mph
A United Press International
count at 1 p m EST showed 202
persons dead in traffic

had no way of knowing whether

affecting holiday travel or

Since the council's original
estimate, at least 11 states have
lowered speed limits and many
