...poor, the sick and the old." To combat it, he singled out his bill to contain hospital costs; he claims the legislation would save Americans $60 billion over the next five years. Said he: "There will be no clearer test of the commitment of this Congress to the anti-inflation fight." He cited the need for deregulation of the railroad, bus and trucking industries after the successful liberation of the airlines from bureaucratic control...
...visit also holds potentially grave risks. Moscow's Americanologists are geared up to scrutinize every public statement?every toast, every press conference comment, every offhand remark ?by Teng for evidence of an anti-Soviet thrust to his visit. In an interview with Time Inc. Editor in Chief Hedley Donovan four days before embarking on his U.S. journey, Teng was openly, explicitly anti-Soviet, going so far as to urge a U.S.China alliance against Moscow (see following story). Publication of the interview on the day Teng is to sit down for his first talk with President Carter could confirm...
...Carter Administration, the diplomatic challenge is to balance what Moscow is certain to see as the inherently anti-Soviet nature of the visit. Thus, Carter was careful to note in his State of the Union message that the new U.S. relationship with China "is not directed against the interests of any other country," and that he would like "to welcome President Brezhnev to our country in the near future."

He said that Soviet activities around the Mediterranean littoral, in Africa and in Asia should cause concern to all nations. He derided the value of the proposed SALT II treaty between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. and demonstrated...
That "I'm all right, Jack" stance has dealt a mortal blow to the anti-inflation wage policies of Prime Minister James Callaghan. Although his Labor government has close links with the trade unions, Callaghan has had no success in restraining workers' demands for contract settlements that would greatly exceed his 5% wage-ceiling guidelines. The dam began to burst last fall, when Ford Motor Co. workers wrested a 17% raise after a bruising two-month strike. Since then, few unions have been willing to settle for less. The truckers, for example, have spurned a 15% hike proposed...
