However, as soon as he was elected President, and began to select his Cabinet members and advisers, it soon became apparent that the same insiders will be firmly entrenched in the Carter Administration. C.F.R. - AMERICA'S -- SHADOW GOVERNMENT On October 18, 1961, the NEWS & COURIER of Charleston, S.C., stated in an editorial: "To understand the United States today it is necessary to know something about the Establishment....The Establishment is a general term for those people in finance, business, and the professions, largely from the Northeast, who hold the principal measure of power and influence in this country irrespective of what admin, istration occupies the White House." At the top of the pyramid of the is an organization known as the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). The chairman of the board of the CFR is David Rockefeller, brother of the former appointed Vice President of the United States, Nelson Rockefeller. The DAN SMOOT REPORT of July 20, 1964, had this to say about the CFR: Paul Scott Washington: The heretofore unthinkable possibility of a record $100 billion federal deficit for the fiscal year ending on September 30 is now being quietly discussed by budget and tax experts of the Carter administration. That is $30 billion more than the $70 billion deficit estimate UTAH INDEPENDENT 57 Oakland Avenue Salt Lake City, Utah 84115 Pdd at Csff IgSaCHy, Utah i 'ji i world under a single Rockefeller-controlle- d tent. Such a government would have to be a dictatorship, ruled by Rockefeller puppets or by the Communist-Thir- d bloc." During the campaign in 1976, Jimmy Carter displayed how the CFR had influenced his thinking on foreign-polic- y matters when, while addressing the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations on March 15, World " The ultimate aim of the Council on Foreign Relations is the same as the ultimate aim of international Communism: to create a Socialist system and make the United States an official part 1976, he said: "If our aim is to construct an international order, we must work through international bodies that now exist....It would be a mistake to give up on the one-wor- ld of it." Which would destroy the United States of America as a free and independent nation. The Council on Foreign Relations calls its grand design a new world order, ld which is a code phrase for a United Nations."

At the Democratic Convention in July 1976, Carter selected Senator Walter F.

Michael Blumenthal, and Budget Director Bert Lance. The figure is a whopping $42 billion more than last years SS8.3 billion deficit. In the private discussions now going on in the governments inner circles at the cabinet level, two reasons are being cited for the higher deficit. The first is the growing loss of federal tax revenues caused by the slowdown of the economy and increased due to the nationwide siege of cold weather. These losses of revenue to the unemployment Treasury could run anywhere from S15 billion to S20 billion if the bad weather persists for another six weeks as predicted. The second reason is the high cost of the presidents $50 per person tax rebate program. If approved by congress, the cost to the Treasury will run anywhere from $11 billion to $12 billion during 1977. Other programs proposed by are the Carter administration expected to cost the government another $3 billion to $5 billion during the coming year. While officials of the Carter administration have given the impression that all of the tax rebate and job spending programs are budgeted within the S70 billion deficit estimate. Treasury tax experts say privately that only part of their cost have been included. There has been no budgeting for the loss of tax revenue due to the nationwide cold siege. ministration, down the President. CARTER APPOINTS C.F.R.

GROWING FINANCIAL The seriousness of the CRISIS government's financial situation, however, is clearly indicated by the Treasury Departments unandecision nounced to launch a study to determine the impact that such a record deficit will have on the nation's money market and the governments long range debt structure. Now totaling more than $650 billion, the governments huge debt will cost U.S. a taxpayers staggering $40 billion in interest this year making the expenditure the third largest item in the federal budget. What is alarming about this huge annual interest payment is that the cost of the national debt has tripled since 1968 when interest charges totaled only $13.7 billion. This soaring interest charge in recent years has come about because of the higher annual deficits and increased interest rates. For instance, the deficits totaled $58.3 billion in 1976, and $71.2 billion in 1975 compared with only $11.5 billion in 1 974 and $6.7 billion in 1973. Continued on page John D.

Declaring the Soviet Unions unparalleled military buildup to be the principal threat to the United States, world peace and the cause of human freedom, the CPD says: Soviet military power and its rate of growth cannot be explained or justified by considerations of e. The Soviet Union is consciously seeking what its spokesmen call visible military arms and reduce armaments. Now, when this conference was completed, press man Paul Green felt about it for several reasons. it was well attended. news CPD good First, They were hanging from the rafters, says Green. Second, the issue was legitimately newsworthy, literally involving the life and death of the country and all it stands for. Third, the CPD is a group of distinguished Americans, including such Democrats, Republicans and Independents as: two former U.S. ambassadors to the Soviet Union, Jacob Beam and Foy Kohler; William Colby, former head of the CIA; Bill Connell, former executive assistant to Vice President Humphrey; James Rowe, former administrate assistant to President Roosevelt; and Edmund Gullion, dean of the Flet- cher School of Law and Diplomacy. TV REACTION Paul Green was especially happy to see at the CPD news conference that all three networks were present, with film rolling. For CBS there was Bernard Kalb; for NBC, Richard Valeriani; for ABC, Joe Templeton. But that night, when Green watched the evening network news shows you guessed it zero. Zilch. Othingnay.
