# Morocco's King Doesn't Expect a Sharp Increase in OPEC's Prices

By FLORA LEWIS
Special to The New York Times

PARIS, Nov. 21—King Hassan II of Morocco has said that officials of some petroleum-producing countries had told him there would be no important rise in the price of oil this year that could have an effect on the cost of energy or world price levels.

The King, who is due in France for a four-day state visit tomorrow, spoke in an interview with the Europe No. 1 radio station in Rabat last night. He acknowledged in the interview, which was broadcast here tonight, that Prince Fahd of Saudi Arabia was now in Morocco on a mission to seek reconciliation between Morocco and Algeria.

King Hassan did not directly mention the Saudis in his comment on oil, but he said: "What I can gather from the contacts I have had, any price increase, if there is one, will really be without impact on world prices and on the cost of energy."

This information seemed to fit with what President Anwar el-Sadat of Egypt told Prime Minister Raymond Barre of France during a visit by Mr. Barre to Cairo last week. According to French sources, Mr. Sadat said that the Saudis were seeking a price rise of no more than 5 percent, while Iran is seeking a 10 percent increase,

Meanwhile, a report from Vienna today said that experts of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries had con-

cluded after a week-long meeting that higher prices would be justified to offset world inflation, but it said that no specific figure had been recommended. The OPEC ministers are scheduled to meet in Qatar next month, not later than Dec. 20, according to a statement made in Kuwait today by a government spokesman.

In answer to a question about oil, the Moroccan King said he had been collecting "the views of a certain number of oil producers, and I think there won't be a huge increase in oil prices because the producers, who are wise and reasonable, have no interest in ruining their trading partners."

"The Russians are self-sufficient in petroleum," he said, "but Europe and America need Arab oil, and I'm not even speaking of Japan and other countries."

The King also said that there was no effort to organize an OPEC-type cartel on phosphates, the base of fertilizers that are crucial to world food production. Morocco is the world's largest exporter and is expected to have an export monopoly of phosphates in another decade or so.

King Hassan said he had insisted that a recent conference on phosphates held in Dakar eb at the level of technicians instead of cabinet ministers, as proposed by President Leopold S. Senghor of Senegal, in order to "depoliticize" any possible future coordination of phosphate production and prices.

The visit of Prince Fahd, which the

King said was on the orders of King Khalid of Saudi Arabia, was another reflection of the growing Saudi role as the leader of efforts to end conflicts among Arab nations.

Prince Fahd was understood to have been engaged in a virtual shuttle, in the style of Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger, among Morocco, Mauritania and Algeria, in an effort to end their dispute over the former Spanish Sahara. The territory was divided between Morocco and Mauritania, but Algeria opposed their decision and backs a guerrilla group, the "Polisario Front," that has been fighting Moroccan units sporadically.

Last year, there was a threat of war between Morocco and Algeria over the issue.

Now, King Hassan said, he has told Prince Fahd that he is willing to meet

President Houari Boumediene of Algeria to settle the dispute in a way that would leave neither "victors nor vanquished," but only on condition that Moroccan and Mauritanian sovereignty in the Saharan area is accepted.

The King spoke in respectful terms of the Algerian leader and said his goal was to revive the old idea of the "Mahgreb," which would bring together Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya in a cooperative North African regional unit, but he did not resist some gibes against the Algerians.

One unclear allusion was to a recent Algerian-Moroccan skirmish on the Saharan front where, he said, there were "quite a few victims including a white man, very well dressed, neither Algerian nor Saharan, who attracted our attention because he was emasculated."

# Curbed U.S. Tour of Europe Ending

By MALCOLM W. BROWNE
Special to The New York Times

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Nov. 21—A commission of the United States Congress, checking progress toward relaxation of tensions in Europe, is ending its tour of Europe after having been barred from all Communist-ruled countries except Yugoslavia.

Representative Jonathan B. Bingham, Democrat of the Bronx, said here that the commission had also been barred by Rumania at the last minute. Three weeks ago, the Rumanian Government gave its assent to the Congressional visit but then withdrew it, saying that the members of Congress would have been welcome as individual visitors but not as "commissioners."

The commission was created last year

participation. Chief among these were provisions calling for greater freedom for people and information to travel between East and West.

A second meeting of the signing nations is scheduled to be held in Belgrade next year, at which the Communists and Western governments are expected to confront each other with opposing lists of complaints.

The 15-member commission, headed by Representative Dante B. Fascell, Democrat of Florida, has six members each from the Senate and House of Representatives. Three observer members representing the Departments of State, Defense and Commerce were also named to it.

Laird: Remove
Ground Forces
From Korea

By George C. Wilson
Washington Post Staff Writer

The United States should pull its ground troops out of South Korea but leave its air power there, Melvin R. Laird, a former Secretary of Defense, said yesterday.

Laird, Defense Secretary under President Nixon from 1969 through 1972, said he had started a withdrawal program that would have had all American troops out of South Korea by now had it not been for the opposition from Henry A. Kissinger and the White House National Security Council.

Kissinger ran the council staff at the time as President Nixon's national security affairs adviser. Laird said that Kissinger and the council opposed further American troop withdrawals from South Korea on the grounds "it would be destabilizing."

But Laird, speaking in an interview, said it is still a good idea to withdraw American troops from South Korea because the military rationale of the U.S. defense treaty with South Korea "is for each side to do what it can do best."

"South Korea doesn't need our ground troops," Laird continued. "American manpower is not the important thing; South Korea has a 2-to-1 edge on the ground."

He said the U.S.-Korean Defense Treaty "is a mutual commitment. Our commitment should be in air power," not ground forces.

He said American troop withdrawal should be done in an orderly manner

and the need for additional air power in South Korea should be re-examined.

As for Japanese objections to an American troop withdrawal from South Korea where the United States now has about 40,000 troops, Laird said, "The Japanese position is not a fair position. Let them do more militarily if they are worried" about an American drawdown of troops.

Of the 40,000 American servicemen stationed in Korea, about 7,000 are members of Air Force F-4 Phantom fighter-bomber squadrons. There are three such squadrons in South Korea of 18 to 25 planes each.

President-elect Jimmy Carter said during the campaign that he favored withdrawing American troops from Korea, but has not spelled out his plan. Also, Kissinger, despite the opposition Laird cited, has let it be known in private recently that he would see nothing wrong with reducing the American troop commitment in South Korea to half its present size as long as the withdrawals were done with care and consultation with allies.

On other subjects, Laird, who after leaving the Defense Department remained a confidant and an adviser to President Ford, said in the interview that Kissinger had nothing to do with Ford's firing of James R. Schlesinger as Defense Secretary last November.

Instead, Laird said, Schlesinger had told the President that he could not support his defense budget unless it

was $6 billion higher and that Ford decided he simply could not keep him on under those circumstances.

"I can't have a Secretary of Defense who won't support my budget," Laird quoted Ford as telling him when they discussed the Schlesinger firing by long-distance telephone. Laird said he was in Paris at the time for his present employer, Readers' Digest, where he is senior counselor.

Asked what he thought might have changed the outcome of the Nov. 2 presidential election, Laird said that keeping Nelson A. Rockefeller on the ticket as Ford's Vice President might have made the crucial difference because Rockefeller would have cut into the black and labor votes that Carter won.

Ford's advisers "were wrong" in telling the President that GOP challenger Ronald Reagan would not run for the Republican presidential nomination if Rockefeller were dropped from the ticket, Laird said.

MONTPELIER, Vermont, Nov. 21 — A number of Canadians have been moving money out of Quebec following last week's provincial election victory by the separatist Parti Québécos headed by René Lévesque, according to bankers here.

"We've had several Quebec residents open fairly large accounts," said the head of the Chittenden Trust Co.'s branch office at Enosburg Falls, Vermont. Enosburg Falls is about six miles from the U.S.-Canadian border. "We've had a lot of other calls from Canadians asking about our interest rates and how to start an account here," he added.

Administration May Seek Authority to Continue Guarding Kissinger

By BERNARD GWERTZMAN
Special to The New York Times

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22—Ford Administration officials said today that because of continued threats to Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger's life, they were considering asking Congress for emergency authority to permit the Secret Service to guard him after he leaves office on Jan. 20.

At the moment, the law does not permit the Secret Service to continue protecting Mr. Kissinger once he becomes a private citizen in the afternoon on Inauguration Day.

The whole subject has been treated with extreme sensitivity within the outgoing Ford Administration because of the normal reluctance to talk about security problems publicly and because State Department officials are aware that extension of Secret Service protection to Mr. Kissinger would provoke skepticism about the need for the expensive operation.

"I don't want to sound melodramatic," a State Department aide said, "but the Secretary's life would be in danger within two weeks of losing his protection."

## Protection Has Been Heavy

Mr. Kissinger has had very heavy Secret Service protection—probably second only to that given President Ford.

And in recent weeks the guard detail appears to have increased. Neighbors near the Kissinger home in Georgetown said today that two carloads of agents have been parked at either end of the block in the last week.

At a dinner party last night in suburban Maryland, Mr. Kissinger's armor-plated limousine was accompanied by what seem to be three carloads of agents. This appeared to be a larger detail than usual.

Officials were reluctant to talk about the actual threats to Mr. Kissinger's life, but they insisted that they had to be taken seriously and angrily rejected suggestions that Mr. Kissinger might want the protection to allow him to keep the detail and the cars that go with it.

## Plots by Terrorists Reported

There have been reports in the past that he was a prime target of Arab terrorist groups. Security was always extraordinary during his Middle East diplomatic shuttles.

Mr. Kissinger had Secret Service protection. Mr. Kissinger had Secret Service protection. Richard M. Nixon's national security adviser. That security detail followed him over to the State Department

when he had the dual role of Secretary of State and national security adviser.

When he was forced to give up the White House job last year, the Secret Service continued to protect him but was reimbursed by the State Department.

State Department lawyers checked with the Justice Department, officials said, to see if the protection could be extended beyond Jan. 20. They were told no.

## Humphrey and Agnew Had Guards

In 1968, President Lyndon B. Johnson extended Secret Service protection to Herbert H. Humphrey after he lost the November election to Mr. Nixon. In 1973, Mr. Nixon extended protection to Spiro T. Agnew after Mr. Agnew resigned the Vice Presidency in October.

But after objections were raised, it was determined that the law forbids the President to extend the protection to private citizens, and the guard was withdrawn from Mr. Agnew.

Congress convenes on Jan. 4 and State Department officials said they are considering asking for special legislation to be passed in the two weeks before Inauguration Day to allow the Secret Service to continue protecting Mr. Kissinger and others deemed in need by the President.

"If the Secretary were assassinated or kidnapped by terrorists it would have worldwide consequences even if he were just an ordinary citizen," an aide said.

Under the law, former Presidents and their families are entitled to Secret Serv-

ice protection as are widows of Presidents. Protection is also extended to Presidential candidates, foreign chiefs of state and other special visitors to this country. Presidential representatives on foreign trips are also given protection.

# Emergency U.S. Loan Will Give Portuguese Time to Regain Their Feet

By MARVINE HOWE
Special to The New York Times

LISBON, Nov. 22—Washington's plan to grant Portugal a $300 million emergency loan could save the country from the prospect of imminent bankruptcy and

decisive support for the four-month-old minority Government of Prime Minister Mario Soares and its program for economic recovery.

The mere promise of aid could come as an important boost to Mr. Soares and his Socialist Party as they face rein

news as glumly as the Communists because they had hoped that continued deterioration of the economic situation would lead to military intervention in their favor.

The revolution that overthrew the right-wing dictatorship on April 25, 1974, was essentially bloodless, but in the long run it has destroyed most of the economy without establishing a viable replacement.

The old regime of monopolistic capitalism has been disrupted. The major capitalists have fled the country, taking with them much of their capital.

The revolution also brought an end to Portugal's colonial empire on which it depended heavily for 500 years.

For the first two years of the revolution the Portuguese seemed reluctant to face facts and really did not have to, because the late dictator, Dr. António de Oliveira Salazar, had left substantial reserves of gold and foreign exchange, although he had done little to develop the country.

## Lived Beyond Their Means

After the revolution, the Portuguese lived heedlessly above their means, consuming more and producing less. Six provisional military-led governments ruled in a state of virtual anarchy.

Portugal's first elected President, Gen. António Ramalho Eanes, called on Mr. Soares to form the first constitutional government last July because the Socialist Party won the legislative elections.

When he took office, the 51-year-old Prime Minister warned the country that it faced bankruptcy and would have to make sacrifices. Timid attempts to impose austerity have met with resistance on all sides because they were not well planned.

Last week the Government announced the first coherent plan to revive the economy. The United States loan and a projected $1.5 billion from a United States-European consortium will provide the funds to get things moving.

## Balance of Payments in Deficit

The Government's immediate problem, which will be largely alleviated by the loans, is a huge deficit in the balance of payments, estimated at more than $1-billion this year.

The economic recovery plan, which includes the 1977 budget, will come up for debate in the Assembly shortly.

The chief strategy of the plan is to renew economic activity by increasing investments, particularly in the public sector, and by reducing private and public consumption. Principal objectives are a 5 percent increase in the gross national product next year, the creation of 125,000 jobs and the containment of inflation at 15 percent, or about half the present rate.

Investments are expected to increase by one-third, or $1.165 billion in the public sector and $965 million in the private sector.

## Defense Spending Still High

Despite restraints, a large part of public expenditure, about $1.33 billion, is still slated to go into the heavy state administrative machinery. Defense spending forecasts are still high, $592 million, considering that the colonial wars are over.

Nevertheless, significant sums are going into social projects. About $732 million has been slated for education alone and nearly $1 billion for housing, health and social welfare combined.

## THE ARABS, ISRAELIS, AND KISSINGER: A Secret History of American Diplomacy in the Middle East. By Edward R. F. Sheehan. Reader's Digest. 287 pp. $8.95

By MARILYN BERGER

Drawing by Richard Willson

NOW THAT JIMMY CARTER seems to have put an end to any hopes Henry Kissinger may have cherished about becoming the permanent secretary of state, we can soon expect the fully authorized history of the Kissinger years. But until that book is finished, we have Edward Sheehan's account of one of the more original and flamboyant aspects of Kissinger's diplomacy, the Middle East shuttle.

MARILYN BERGER, a correspondent for NBC news, formerly covered the State Department for The Washington Post.

Much of it is in Kissinger's own words, taken from transcripts of his conversations with the kings and presidents of the Middle East. Because these transcripts were leaked by two of Kissinger's most trusted deputies, and because the parts that were released tend to place Kissinger in the best light, the account has been considered to be at least semiauthorized, a description Sheehan hotly denies.

And Sheehan does find fault with Kissinger's handiwork. In failing to grasp an opportunity for an overall

settlement, Sheehan says, Kissinger "sinned on the side of caution." His greatest error, according to Sheehan, was to ignore the Palestinian problem, leaving it to poison the region.

Now, however, even Kissinger himself lets it be known—although only in whispers and only to sympathetic listeners—that he too would have done—belatedly—just what Sheehan and many others say he should have done. But President Ford wouldn't let him. It would have been too costly, politically, to exert the kind of pressure on Israel that would have been necessary to get a final settlement.

So Kissinger bit off only what he could chew, and for that gets much praise from Sheehan. "His tactics of partial peace were brilliant and his techniques, too." And we are told, "Kissinger often behaved heroically. He pursued the interest—not of Israel or of the Arabs—but of the United States as he conceived its interest within the perimeters of the possible, and for that he deserves the gratitude of the republic."

Kissinger did pursue the interests of the United States as he saw them, by restoring a relationship with the Arab world and by taking advantage of Arab disillusion with the Soviet Union. It is interesting that the conversations revealed by Sheehan, which show Kissinger in a favorable light, suggest the same conclusion as those revealed by Matti Golan in his book, *The Secret Conversations of Henry Kissinger*, which were chosen to suggest the more duplicitous aspects of the secretary's diplomacy.

wire had suffered "grave anguish" because of it.

There are some who are likely to find fault with the book's title, and Wise himself feels the need to explain it. "Naturally, by Nazi or Soviet standards, America is not a police state," he writes. "But the dictionary definition does not require the extremes of a Gestapo or a KGB; it defines a police state as 'a government that seeks to intimidate and suppress political opposition by means of police, especially a secret national police organization.' The FBI and the CIA have done precisely that."

ments of New Testament criticism, most neatly summed up in the phrase, "historical-critical method." What that means is a systematic attempt to identify the various layers that make up the New Testament, from the particular theological visions that shaped the final written texts, back through the interpretations that were given to the oral tradition by the various early Christian communities, to the most primitive strata of all where we can perceive the outlines of Jesus's own preaching. It is not a process to cheer the hearts of fundamentalists, but it represents the majority view of contemporary Scripture scholarship. Many experts will disagree (some al-

# Kissinger

(Continued from page H1)

Sheehan gathered his information by talking to Middle Eastern leaders as well as to Americans involved in the negotiations that brought three agreements. The excerpts from some of Kissinger's negotiating sessions, we now know, were read to Sheehan by two state department officials, acting on what they believed were the secretary's orders. When the major portion of this book appeared in Foreign Policy magazine ten months ago, Kissinger went into one of his rages about "leaks." What seemed most offensive at the time may have been the typography as much as the content. Portions from the transcripts were set off in italic type, making them appear to be verbatim records. Kissinger was even heard to lament: "If only they hadn't said they were quotations." The secretary pronounced himself "thunderstruck" and promptly issued an official reprimand to the two men who had talked to Sheehan, even though they had been instructed to help the author. For Kissinger it was a particularly embarrassing time because he had just denied Congress certain documents

it wanted while he was permitting a degree of access to a journalist who presented himself as sympathetic.

Thanks to the transcripts, Sheehan is able to provide a vivid account of the Kissinger style, of the secretary's ability to insinuate himself into the confidence of the leader he is trying to influence. Sheehan also suggests that the secretary was capable of misreading a situation, joking with Syrian president Hafez Assad at the wrong time, having what can only be interpreted as the effrontery to comment on the Syrian foreign minister's "pretty blue eyes" and offering him—albeit tongue in cheek—the "hottest telephone numbers in Washington."

But the more serious accounts of Kissinger cajoling the Israelis to accept a negotiable line of withdrawal, and arguing with the Syrians to release prisoners, and luring Sadat into his confidence are a useful study of a unique diplomatic method that we may never see again, and which, in fact may die unlamented.

What troubles me most about the book, however, is that Sheehan presents the essay as a piece of journalism, and what we have is an account in which the author keeps reflecting his prejudices, something we of the old school of journalism go to considerable lengths to avoid. I have learned from experience that Sheehan bridles

when it is mentioned that he has spent a good deal of time in the Arab world, but it is a world he has eventually grown to love, a world whose prejudices he shares.

Here, for example, is Sheehan on Rabin: "Clumsy, indecisive and incompetent," or "soft, almost irresolute." Alon is "A short, square man." Shimon Peres somehow managed to impress. "He exuded strength, even—somehow—raw force," while chief of staff Mordechai Gur gets a compliment, of sorts. He is "lithe." (Actually, he's suffered a considerable increase in girth since the 1967 war).

Sheehan's description of the scene at Kilometer 101 sums up the writer's perceptions rather nicely: "The Egyptians were robust and copper-skinned, short-maned beneath their starched caps, trimly turned and lean of body. The Israelis were a motley bunch, as long-haired and slovenly as hippies." Sheehan had to concede, however, that their appearance was no reflection on their "martial capacities."

The Israelis, according to Sheehan, were constantly "haggling"—sometimes twice on a single page. Of the Abs, only Ismail Fahmy would "quibble" but he was full of fire and thunder in disputing technical details. In contrast to the Israeli leaders, the Abs were all men of stature. Sadat, Sheehan writes, for example was only

a "fellah" but "he had managed to hone away the rough edges without discarding his earthy charm." King Faisal "exuded an exquisite sadness." So moved was Sheehan by his audience with the Saudi Arabian King that he relates: "The scene of Faisal was like a dream, so vivid it recurs from time to time, in dreams and in dreams of dreams."

And finally, it would be impossible to close without a word about the prologue, called "Miss Berger's birthday party." I infer that Sheehan is trying to set the scene (he says he's also a dramatist) and is attempting to demonstrate how Kissinger cultivates what he calls "luminaries of the press." Kissinger certainly does, but he showed his character much more the next week at the birthday party of NBC's correspondent Richard Valeriani. There Kissinger saw one of his closest aides walk in and said: "Oh, happy birthday to you, too." Parties were, indeed, for the press, not for the drones.

Sheehan's problem is that he doesn't recognize a joke when he hears one. In his prologue he tries to brand me with a bias that would be the mirror image of his own, and in quoting my party banter, he seems to have missed the message. In any case, I'd be the first to admit that all journalists have prejudices. I was taught that the good ones don't let them infect their copy. ☐

THE LIFE OF BYRON. By
Elizabeth Longford. Little,
Brown. 237 pp. $8.95

By LINDA KELLY

NO POET, before or since, has so captured the imagination of an age. "I am generally content to be a listener when important questions are introduced, such as the English Parliament and Lord Byron!" says the hero of a Russian play, quoted by Lady Longford as an illustration of Byron's talismanic function in his own day. Today, when the legend has receded, and when Byron's letters are read, perhaps, more often than his poetry, the fascination of the man remains.

Nothing written about Byron could ever be boring. Even so, we have been exceptionally lucky in his more recent biographers. Peter Quennell, Iris Origo and Harold Nicolson have focused on different aspects of his life in books that are minor classics. Professor Les-

LINDA KELLY is the author of *The Marvellous Boy*, a study of Thomas Chatterton, and *The Young Romanties*.

lie Marchand's three-volume life is a model of its kind. Now, in a far shorter space, Elizabeth Longford, whose credentials as a biographer are of the highest, has given us a portrait that can take its place by the side of Marchand's. For those who come relatively new to Byron's life it is a sound foundation for further reading. For those already hooked on the subject, it is an enlightening summing up, which distills, with deceptive ease and informality, a wealth of scholarship and human insight.

Byron's susceptible female contemporaries—"I have been more ravished myself than anybody since the Trojan War," he wrote—might see him as the gloomy Childe Harold, mysterious and possibly irredeemable. Lady Longford does not discount this lonely "Byronic" aspect of the poet but she sees it as only part of the picture:

"Byron like everyone else had his mysterious recesses, his inner regions of loneliness, his guilty secrets real or imaginary. No doubt, being a poet, all his sensations were heightened. He was shyer, more aloof than most. But in another sense he was emphatically not Childe Harold... many of his qualities were very unchilde-like indeed. Far from being habitually secretive he could be totally uninhibited. His

Second Wave
Of Fallout Will
Drift Over U.S.

By William Chapman

Washington Post Staff Writer

A second wave of radioactive debris from the Chinese nuclear test is scheduled to arrive over the United States Thursday, just as the first one disappears from the continent and drifts over the Atlantic, the Environmental Protection Agency said yesterday.

The EPA said the second cloud of fallout will drift down from Canada, entering the United States over the Dakotas and passing southeast to reach an area ranging from Maryland to Florida before going out to sea.

The cloud will drift at a level of 65,000 feet, twice as high as the first part of the contaminated air mass, and "will not affect people on the ground," according to William D. Rowe, EPA's deputy assistant administrator for radiation programs.

While there will be no ground effects, Rowe said, consideration is being given to air traffic that might be contaminated by the fallout while in flight.

He said that EPA and the Federal Aviation Administration are considering rerouting supersonic aircraft, which routinely fly at altitudes high enough to encounter the radiation. Those would be the British-French Concorde commercial aircraft and U.S. military flights.

Minor traces of radioactive material were found on some aircraft that had passed through areas contaminated by the first wave of the air mass, Rowe said. The planes are measured for radioactivity at airports. No serious contamination had been found on any lane, he said.

Both waves of the nuclear cloud are art of the air mass contaminated when the Chinese exploded a nuclear device in the upper atmosphere Wednesday.

The first wave caused minor increases of radioactivity at several points in the United States. None was considered strong enough to cause any health hazard, EPA said.

"The levels measured are so very low that the risk to public health or safety is insignificant and no protective actions are warranted at this time," EPA said in a statement.

Its air samples at eight of 41 stations showed radiation levels slightly above normal. The eight stations are

# 1950s Flashback: Kissinger and Defense

By Dorothy McCardle

Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who has been getting a cold shoulder from President-elect Jimmy Carter and before that from Congress, got a similar chilly treatment from the Department of Defense years ago.

In the 1950s, Kissinger sought a low-level job with the Department of Defense, but according to one source who remembers back when, the answer was a flat "no."

"Don't hire him!" some of those who would have been his bosses warned, "He'll gobble everybody up."

While former Sen. Eugene McCarthy has been tilting at the presidency, his estranged wife, Abigail, has been earning a name for herself as a writer ... and also earning a living.

The McCarthys are legally separated, and Abigail McCarthy, who took up writing professionally at age 50, now does two columns regularly and has finished two more books. One is a

novel, called "A Washington Story," due to be published next May by Doubleday. The other book concerns the history of the women's movement and is tentatively titled "Going on Together," taken from the book of Ruth about Ruth and Naomi, her mother-in-law, who "were going on together." This will be published by Seabury Press—with possible title change.

Abigail McCarthy writes four hours every morning and turns out columns for Woman's Voice and The New York Times Feature Syndicate every two weeks. In addition, she does book reviews for other media.

Nellie Tayloe Ross, the woman of many firsts, will be 100 years old on Nov. 29. She now lives here at the Dresden apartments with a companion.

## Keeping Posted

Mrs. Ross has impressive scrapbooks of the days when she was the first woman governor of a state and when she was the first woman to be appointed director of the United States Mint. She was elected governor of Wyoming after the death of her husband in mid-term in 1923. When she sought reelection, at the end of that term, she was defeated.

President Roosevelt appointed her director of the Mint in 1933. She had come to Washington to live in 1928.

Very deaf now, she needs a walker to get around, but expects to enjoy a birthday cake at the Cleveland Park home of her son, attorney Bradford Ross. Her other son, George Tayloe

Ross, has come from Spain with his wife for the centennial party.

First Lady Betty Ford and Sen. HBert H. Humphrey (D-Minn.) will be among those giving toasts at the farewell party for Liz Carpenter, former White House staff director for Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson. Others toasting her will be TV anchorman Barbara Walters and Nash Castro, who was with the National Park Service here. The party for 600 will be held at Ford's Theater next Sunday night (Dec. 5).

There will be entertainment by singer Pearl Bailey, actress Carol Channing, and comedian Mark Russell. And there will be vocal duets by Rep. George H. Mahon (D-Tex.) and Rep. Paul G. Rogers (D-Fla.).

Liz Carpenter moved to Austin, Tex., 10 days ago where she has bought a home. She will finish a book, write magazine articles and work with the LBJ Foundation. She will return to Washington for the party in her honor.

# Sherlockians

By George Boosey

TULSA, Okla. (UPI)—Members of the Afghanistan Perceivers Social Club include housewives, lawyers, a pathologist and a sportswriter and the only rule is that there can be no rules.

But the members have a very strong common bond. They love a fictional British detective whose address is almost as well-known as his name: Sherlock Holmes of 221-B Baker St.

The Afghanistan Perceivers is the only "scion society" of the Baker Street Irregulars in Oklahoma. Its members call themselves Sherlockians, to distinguish themselves from the English who are members of that nation's Sherlock Holmes Society. They call themselves Holmesians.

"It's really a marvelous social club," said Stafford Davis, the true perceiver of the Afghanistan Perceivers. "You find Sherlock Holmes buffs everywhere."

The organization meets occasionally for cocktails and to trade Holmes paraphernalia and once a year holds a grand meeting to celebrate Holmes' birthday. The world's first consulting detective is now 122, according to his fans.

Davis said one of the duties of a good Sherlockian is to review the new material published about Holmes.

"There has been such an explosion of popularity it

The amount of money known as $1.6 billion in the period. Statistics show M1, which includes circulation and checking-account deposits, averaged $310.6 billion in the Nov. 3 week, up from $310.4 billion a week earlier.

M2, which also includes savings deposits other than large certificates, averaged $729.3 billion for the period, up from $727.7 billion the previous week.

In the past 13 weeks ended Nov. 3, M1 posted an average gain of 6.3%, while M2 averaged an 11.5% gain, the figures showed.

The figures didn't produce any measurable reaction in the credit and bond markets yesterday, which essentially were closed because of Veteran's Day.
