Kachikis won't enter the

there ‘are no hostilities,'’

| Energy crunch

requires action

WASHINGTON (AP) —
President Carter's top
economic advisers told him
Tuesday the severe impact

of OPEC's price increases °

could require government
action to aid the economy in
the coming months.

But press secretary Jody
Powell said it would be
months before any action is
laken and that Carter would
be reluctant to propose big
spending that could fuel
inflation or weaken the U.S.
dollar

Powell said Carter is still
opposed to mandatory wage
and price controls.

The president met at the
White House Tuesday with
economic and energy ad-
visers before flying by
helicopter to Camp Dvid,

Powell said:

"The decisions will have
