On that day Nixon will discuss with his 18-member National Commission on Productivity a recommendation for creating some form of wage-price review board or perhaps separate boards for basic segments of industry. The meeting was mentioned by Nixon at his Aug. 4 news conference.

He emphasized he would reject any wage-price-control proposal that would invite "a new bureaucracy with enormous criminal powers to fasten itself on the American He said he had never seen a control plan without that flaw. But Nixon still left open the way to adoption of a purely voluntary program for reviewing pending major wage settlements arid price decisions. Federal Reserve Board Chairman Arthur F. Burns has beeen Physical fitness Isometric exercise urged concessions in order to Insure the orderly process of education in Charleston," Mrs. Plath maintained.

"Now, with school coming closer to a starting date, the board still refuses to make any meaningful moves toward she charged. "Every time the board makes an estimate of expenses for the coming year, they insist on using figures which are implausible maximums in other words, they consistently overestimate expenditures1 and underestimate revenue," said Mrs. Plath. "What this means to the Charleston student and to the Charleston parent is that a crisis in education is fst approaching." John R. Connally was cited by another source, as convincing evidence of a new official line.

When Nixon named Connally his chief economic spokesman late in June, Connally told newsmen at the White House: (Nixon) isn't going to institute a wage-price review board. He isn't going to impose mandatory wage and price controls. He isn't going to ask Congress for any tax relief. He isn't going to increase fiscal spending." Yet on" Aug. 4, when 13 Republican senators broke with administration policy and introduced a bill to create a wage-price review board Connally.

issued a two-page statement saying the administration welcomed "a full-fledged debate" in Congress on the issue. Nixon said the slipping competitiveness of U.S. industry, as exemplified by the recent steel wage settlement and the immediate steel price boost of 8 per cent-was a basic cause of his increased concern over inflation.

"The whole key is to tire the muscle by using the isometric method and then put that tired muscle through the range of motion (isokinetic exercise)," Nevin told the group. Nevin demonstrated the method of and explained how the average citizen can apply it to daily life to stay in top form and condition.

"As the head of Charleston's only professional association of educators, it is my responsibility to appeal to-the school board to act in a way that' will avert a school crisis." Mrs. Plath said that the district's teachers were "acting together in strength. Throughout the summer teachers have been continuing negotiations in good faith. "We have made many plugging for such an policy" for months. The.

commission will look at industries in which major negotiations are pending, Nixon said, "and in addition to that we will consider a recommendation on wage-price boards." Nixon's avowed skepticism that any workable stabilization policy can be achieved by persuasion led many congresssmen to express doubt that the proposal would get beyond the debate stage. But now a number of officials are convinced a White House decision for greater price-wage intervention has been all but made in principle, and that only the scale and structure of the effort remain in question. "I don't believe the President would have me mention the Productivity Commission in this connection unless he was preparing to raise some recommendations with them," one ranking administration official said. An abrupt reversal of position by Secretary of the Treasury Nevin added the only good that comes from such exercise is the final exercise movement done when the "muscle is tired." Nevin told the group that repetition of exercise can be eliminated and the muscle can be made tired by applying isometric exercise and the applying isokinetic exercise. The whole program takes about 8 to 10 minutes, each session.

Nevin told the group' this type of exercise was developed by a man named Dean Miller. Miller came from Indiana University to California. After much research he developed the program. -The program was developed for conditioning American astronauts in space flights.

Scott and Irwin broke away long enough to go to the Lunar Receiving Laboratory to see a very special moon rock, a fist-sized fragment of white cyrstal which; Scott and Irwin had described-as possibly part of the original lunar crust. Called "the Genesis -e it was among the approximately 180 pounds of moon rock brought to earth by Apollo 15. Geologists said the rock appears to be almost pure plagio-clase, a type of rock crystal formed from a molten material. Dr. Paul.

Gast, chief of the space, center's earth and planetary, sciences branch, said that if the rock is dated at 4.6 billion to 4.7 billion years then it will be "a big step" toward, supporting a theory that the moon was once completely melted. Dating of the rock Is expected to take some weeks, Gast said. Controversy ends Scientist named to Apollo 17 remain at the university until however, to work with incoming President Gilbert C. Fite.

Accepting the flag on behalf of the SPACE CENTER, Houston (AP) The space agency ended a months-long controversy today and named Dr. Harrison H. Schmitt as the first scientist-astronaut selected for an American space crew. a Harvard-trained will fly on Apollo 17, last of the moon-landing missions in the Apollo program. Commanding the flight will be Navy Capt.

Eugene A. Cernoh, veteran of two space trips. Rounding out the crew will be Ronald E. Evans, a Navy lieutenant commander who has not flown in space. Cernan and Schmitt will land The time factor in exercise can be cut, according to the director of a California-based physical fitness organization.

Perot "Pete" Nevin JU, director of "American Physical Fitness," told the members of the Lions Club that by combining the two known- principles of exercise, isometric and isokinetic, maximum physical benefits can be gained and at a drastically reduced time factor. "The best type of fitness is the fitness which results from continous motion exercise, such as swimming, golf and badminton. But to most of you this is either time consuming or boring," he told the club Thursday in the U.S. Grant Motor Inn. "Most exercise is based on repetition," he said.

"It operates on the principle of getting ourselves tired out." company's employes are (kneeling) Charlie Breeze and Dallas Smith, standing (from left) James P. O'Connor of Springfield, area manager of Chute collapse Apollo problem -SPACE CENTER, Houston AP) An acid-like rocket propellant which "'eats through nylon like crazy" may have been responsible for the collapse of one of Apollo 15's parachutes, a space agency source t. All of Apollo 15's three parachutes opened properly, but one -collapsed -while- the spacecraft was drifting toward splashdown ove- the Pacific Ocean north of Hawaii last Saturday. 'The collapse of the chute caused man's fourth moon mission to return to earth about two miles an hour faster than usual but created no difficulties for the astronauts other than a jolting splashdown." A space center source said Thursday the parachute apparently collapsed after fuel and oxidizer from the small rocket thruster system was jettisoned, "The oxidizer in this system is highly corrosive," said an of-' ficlal familiar with the problem "ft can eai through nylon A.
