Council finance committee approves radio tower bid Handwriting expert heard at stolen property trial that a lower bid was entered by the New York Life Insurance Co. BLUE CROSS-Blue Shield submitted a bid of $25.80 per month per employe and $66.15 for the family plan.

New York Life submitted a rate of $20.42 per month per employe, and $60.28 for the family plan. On an annual basis, the premiums amounted to $339,670 for Blue Cross-Blue Shield, and $267,276 for New York Life. When a representative of New York Life inquired why the city was accepting the higher bid, Mayor Leo Rooff said a decision was made to abide by the recommendation of the city's consultant. THE CONSULTANT, F.A. Borawski, recommended Blue Cross-Blue Shield based in part on favorable claim experience in the past.

The committee also approved the purchase of a tractor for the city's landfill. The tractor is now being leased on a monthly basis. The city accepted the option to buy for $28,800, compared to the present lease rate of $1,698 per month. Mayor Rooff said the 18-month-old tractor would cost $77,000 new. The finance committee of the Waterloo City Council Friday approved the bid of a city firm to construct a radio communications tower for the police department.

Radio Communications, of Waterloo, submitted the bid of $27,366 for the construction of a 250-foot tower on property adjacent to city hall. The new tower was necessary because the police department's former antenna was located on the KXEL-FM radio tower, which collapsed in an ice storm March 27. SINCE THAT time the police department has been using an auxiliary tower on the roof of city hall. That tower, however, is not high enough for police department operations. Final action on the tower bid is expected to be taken at next week's city council meeting under provisions of the Iowa Code, which allows purchases in emergency conditions without formal advertising for bids.

Several other bids were submitted to city officials, but were rejected for being too expensive or not meeting specifications. In other action, the committee voted to keep Blue Cross-Blue Shield as the health insurance carrier for city employes despite the fact December vsm. limits primarily as background in formation. Although Simon repeatedly has maintained that oil prices eventually will decline, some Ford administration officials, notably Federal Energy Administrator Frank G. Zarb recently have predicted an increase in oil prices.

SIMON IS said to feel that the OPEC nations will interpret such predictions as indicating U.S. acceptance of higher oil prices. Sources say he feels the United States should take a harder line in opposition to any increases. The Shah of Iran, who was once called "a nut" by Simon, complained in the May 18 television interview of sharply higher import prices last year for wheat, vegetable oil and sugar.

Tucker was issued a summons for failure to yield. Iowa deaths Northeast S. Perry Saunders oil price WASHINGTON (AP) The Treasury Department has prepared a new study of world commodity prices that is intended to refute any attempted economic justification for another increase in world oil prices Treasury officials, including Secretary William E. Simon, are said by sources to be concerned that other departments of government are failing to voice objections to talk of a new increase in oil prices this fall by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. THE WORLD oil price now averages about $10.50 a barrel, and there is official speculation that some members of OPEC may Cry to increase it to $12.50 a barrel or higher.

But the Treasury study says there is "no way that the present price of crude oil let alone another increase can be justified on economic grounds." Primarily, the figures attempt to counter claims of some OPEC nations, especially Iran, that another price increase is warranted because world inflation is undermining their current oil earnings. The study is dated four days after the Shah of Iran's May 18 statement on NBC's Meet the Press that Iran had lost about 35 per cent of its purchasing power because of world inflation. He indicated Iran would try to recover at least part of this through higher oil prices. BUT THE Treasury report said oil prices have increased five times as much as the price of goods imported by OPEC nations since 1955, adding that the rise in oil prices "dwarfs the rise in general inflation." "The present price of oil bears no relationship to economic realities not to the production of oil, not to the cost of alternative sources of energy, and not to the costs of other goods traded on world markets," it said. Sources said the report reflects Simon's views.

However, it has not yet received wide distribution and apparently has been intended GARWIN-Scrvices for S.
