Ford said federal gasoline

deficit, $14,500 above last year’s

Supt. B. L. Farmer said meals

school districts lose money on

must subsidize it.
Business Manager C. Wayne

mostly to pay for an 18 per cent

Sit-Down
NEW DELHI, India (AP) -
About 200 demonstrators carry-
ing flags of Prime Minister In-
dira Gandhi’s Congress party
cried “Shame on the CIA” as
they staged a. sit-down protest
today in front of the U.S. Infor-
mation Service building in
downtown New Delhi.
The brief rally was the first
anti-American outburst since
Mrs. Gandhi imposed emergen-
cy rale on India on June 26.
One emergency decree bars
public slogan-shouting at gath-
ering of more than four
people. But police made no at-
tempt To interfere with the anti-
American demonstration:
Leaders of the protest said
were from the.Nehru Bn-
a vouth group organized
by ingress party leaders. The
demonstration broke up after
half an hour, and the leaders
shook hands with the police.
Several leading supporters of
Mrs. Gandhi, including the Con-
tion 1 of the proposed ordinance

types ot industrial structures for
Which this ordinance does not
specify standards” from building

He said his company has six
objections to the ordinance
without the amendment.
The high volume ofipf
maintenance work done on a
dav-by-day basis by Warren
makes permit application for
every job costing n»re than $2,-
500 cumbersome. _
It would also increase ad-
najjisteative and supervisory ^ thw ldemjflcaUon ^

interested in utidermining Mrs.
Gandhi's government. The
.American agency has denied
any connection with the cam-
paign against Mrs. Gandhi that
prompted her to declare a state
emergency.
