Stir More Inflation? The dilemma is that too fast a push could release a further destructive burst of inflation. It is this problem which has contributed to strained relations between President Carter and West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt. Until recently, the United States was urging West Germany and Japan to step up their economic growth as a stimulus to less well off industrial countries. In Bonn and Tokyo there was reluctance to comply for fear that inflation By Charles Mohr New York Times Writer Gothic church and a starkly modern civic center let loose a roar of approval.

No one, perhaps, would have been much surprised had he said, Hi, Im Jimmy Carter and Im running for President. For Carter, with relish and nostalgia, turned a goodwill visit to this green but grimy comer of industrial Britain into something closely resembling the thousands of campaign stops he made in a long American political contest. He smiled, he shook hundreds of hands, he plunged from somber black British limousines into enthusiastic crowds and he almost seemed to said Jimmy Haway the lads!

As a result, in the view of Western officials, it now is clear that President Carter will accept the formula growth at a cautious rate. This will help smooth out some of the U S. German friction when President Carter and Chancellor Schmidt meet for preconference, breakfast talks Saturday. Another potential easing of differences lies in Frances announcement Thursdav that its scientists have de- voioped a new way of processing uranium so that it could be used for (mwer stations but not for atom bombs. The announcement should help soothe President Carters fears that exports of nuclear technology could present nonnuclear countries with a make-i- t yourself atom bomb kit. Meanwhile, Friday, the New York Times reported President Carter rushed through his personal approval for several large shipments of highly enriched uranium to West Germany, France, Canada and Japan, among other countries, breaking a logjam that has caused tensions between Washington and several of its allies. Authoritative American sources, disclosing the decision, said Friday that the United States began informing the allied governments of the Presidents ait ion Friday morning, in an obvious effort to improve the climate on the eve of the seven-natioeconomic summit conference here. Officials in Western Europe had been complainng for nearly a year about the delay in American shipments, asserting recently that without swift American action some of Western Europes nuclear facilities would have to cut back their operations this summer.
