Show Thursday, June 28, 1979 UT TRIER INTERNATIONAL : Moscow Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko said Monday that a refusal by the United States Senate to ratify the SALT II treaty will spell the end of arms limitation negotiations. Although the Soviets have taken a hard line against any modification of the pact they previously have left the door open for possible renegotiation. One diplomatic source said Gromyko's statement was intended to "scare the hell out of" treaty opponents. SALT II foes are expected to call for the attachment of amendments, am-endments, reservations and other statements to the pact. "No matter what amendments would be made, it would be impossible to reopen negotiations. Fantastic situation," Gromyko said. Tokyo West European nations last week called for a five-year freeze on oil import levels but the United States and Japan are balking at the proposal. Serious reservations about the proposal surfaced sur-faced Monday as President Carter and Prime Minister Masayoshi Ohira began bilateral talks focusing on the world energy crisis and the unrelenting flow of Indochinese refugees. The oil import freeze was brought forth at a meeting of the nine nations of the European economic community in Strasbourg, France. The conferees admitted that any such plan would depend on U.S. and Japanese participation. par-ticipation. . Carter reportedly is prepared to cut oil imports im-ports by more than five percent in 1979 but he and Ohira are said to feel that annual targets would be more prudent than a five-year schedule. Geneva, Switzerland Members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries mounted pressure on Saudi Arabia Monday to support a substantial hike in the price of crude oil. : OPEC's current base price is $14.55 a barrel, but surcharges imposed by most of its members- except Saudi Arabia have raised the average price to about $17 a barrel. Most of the members mem-bers are now pushing for a base price of about $20 per barrel, a price that would increase the cost of a gallon of gasoline or heating oil in the United States by about five cents. jSaudi Arabia has demonstrated determination deter-mination to allow the hike t" go no higher than $1.80 a barrel. Their effort may succeed, especially if they adhere to a threat to increase their production of oil, thus undercutting high prices by lessening the world shortage. : Santorini, Greece Tourism on the Aegean Island of Santorini has suffered a severe blow. On Sunday, owners of the thousands of donkeys used to carry visitors up the steep ascent to a cliff-top village went on strike. . -The strike forced excursion liner passengers to reboard their ships without making the trip up the 1,000-foot cliff, outraging merchants on the top. The issues precipitating the strike were not clear and it was not known when the owners would get their asses in gear. . Cairo President Anwar Sadat Saturday asked Parliament to allow the exiled Shah of Iran and his family to take refuge in Egypt and was greeted with loud applause. The shah, who was Sadat's guest in January, is now in Mexico but has found no permanent home. NATIONAL Washington With increases in the price of gasoline and other fuels leading the way, the nation's annual inflation rate has reached 13.4 percent for the first five months of 1979. With top administration economists predicting predic-ting inflation will not slow down in the near future, the Labor Department announced consumer con-sumer prices rose by 1.1 percent in May the fourth straight month prices have risen by at least 1 percent. Consumer prices have increased by 10.8 percent per-cent since May 1978 and have been rising at a 13.4 percent annual rate so far this year. If the current trend continues, inflation in 1979 will be the highest since 1946, when removal of wartime war-time controls sent prices soaring 18.2 percent. "You can't look for any significant moderation of inflation in the next few months," an administration official told a congressional congress-ional committee.

Washington The House of Representatives narrowly passed legislation to implement the Panama Canal treaties last Thursday, giving the Carter administration a slender but impor tant victory. The final vote on the treaties was 224 to 202, but an earlier attempt to recommit the bill to committee lost by only six votes.

Tampa, Florida The entire cranium of a six-year-old girl whose head had swollen to the size of a 35-pound watermellon was removed and rebuilt in a rare operation that returned the head to near normal. The girl was listed in critical condition last week but doctors said she was responding well. Surgeons removed the cranium, that part of the skull extending from the base of the neck to the forehead, and reconstructed it to a smaller size. The swelling was caused by hydrocephalus, commonly known as water on the brain, and the head had grown to 37.2 inches in circumference. Due to the abnormal weight, the child was unable to hold her head up and was pinned to her bed most of the time.
