...they favor a gasoline-tax hike. In a joint press conference, they also suggested that they might support a general tax cut, since the re cession is turning out to be sharper than expected. Even Ford's visitors from abroad, Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, pressed him to take more resolute action in the deepening economic crisis (see THE WORLD...

The firing typified the style of the man who forced Chancellor Le-Maistre to do it: Regent Frank C. Erwin Jr., an ex-Democratic national committeeman and crony of Lyndon B.
