Recession looms,
Fed blamed
WASHINGTON
For months, the Reagan ad
ministration has been applaud
ing Federal Reserve Chairman
Paul Volcker for his tight-money
policy Now. with recession
looming, those pats on the back
are looking more like punches
It's still much too early to give
up the administration s econ
omic program, Pres Reagan
and his top officials insist But if
something should go wrong,
and keep going wrong, there
are indications they stand ready
to revive an old White House
tradition
It's called Blame the Fed
"A tight money supply in a
downward economic cycle
could exacerbate the trouble
we re in,” Reagan's top eco
nomic adviser, Treasury Secre
tary Donald Regan, told a
bankers' conference in San
Francisco
The Federal Reserve, the na
tion's central bank, can affect
money and credit availability by
raising or lowering the amount
of reserves banks are required
to hold, by adjusting the interest
rate member banks are charged
for loans or by such other ac
tions as selling government
securities to banks or by buying
then back
Urged on by the administra
tion, the Fed has been trying to
manage the money supply so it
will grow more slowly than in the
past
The theory at both the White
House and the Federal Reserve
is that too much money and
easy credit were greatly to
blame tor inflation
But times can get tough in the
inflation war Tight-credit disci
pline can beget high interest
rates and those interest rates
can beget a slumping economy,
complete with lost jobs and
maybe lost votes When all that
happens, it's usually time to
blame the Fed
Pacific glaciers
continue growing
PORTLAND
Major glaciers or ice fields in
Washington are growing, recent
reports show
Unlike Grinned and Sperry
glaciers in Montana’s Glacier
National Park, which are dwin
dling, Pacific Northwest
glaciers are stable or on the
move, says Mark Meier, a
Northwest glaciologist for the
U S Geological Survey in
Tacoma. Wash
Ninety percent of the glaciers
remaining from the last Ice Age
in the 48 contiguous states lie in
Oregon and Washington
While Oregon has eight
square miles of glaciers, Wa
shington had 135 square miles
as estimated in 1968
But Washington's glaciers
have grown dramatically since
then with Mount Rainier, the
Northwest s biggest ice factory,
leading the way
Emmons Glacier, on the
mountain's northeast face, has
shown the most spectacular
advance of any of Rainier's
glaciers in recent years Em
mons' terminus advanced 1,500
feet in the 13 years between
1967 and 1980 and is still ad
vancing
Security fails to
protect Sadat
CAIRO, Egypt
Westerners who witnessed
the assassination of Pres An
war Sadat say his security
forces failed to react to protect
the president. They also raised
questions about the official ac
count that only four attackers
were involved
Military attaches and
diplomats at the parade Tues
day told The Associated Press
they were surprised, in some
cases shocked, because
Sadat's security forces failed to
take action to safeguard Sadat.
A Western diplomat who was
there, but would not be quoted
by name, said of Sadat's secur
ity men, "It was not a profes
sional reaction at all.” The
Western sources would not be
quoted by name
Some diplomats questioned a
government version that the
murder team was limited to four
men, three of whom were said to
be civilians who masqueraded
as soldiers and sneaked onto an
army truck
Western attaches say that in
addition to at least three men
photographed charging and
shooting at Sadat, two or three
others stayed aboard the truck
and poured sustained fire at the
president
Walesa wins

GDANSK, Poland
