ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Gov.[Rockefeller is seriously consid-ering a unique bill-drafting tac-tic that would force the. legisla-ture to raise state taxes to payfor any new spending ventures.

It is designed to enforce theedict he laid down Wednesday—that taxes would have to beincreased if the lawmakerswant to supply more money forparochial schools or restore cutsin financial aid for local gov-ernments.

Many of the legislators dis-pute Rockefeller's decree, argu-ing that the school money, atleast, could be found some-vhere within the $7.7-billion

budget. Thus he fears that thelegislature might send him thespending bill and challenge himlo veto it.

When reporters asked what hevould do in such an event, the

Egyptian Shakeup SeenTo Solidi

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESSObservers today viewed fflie

sweeping shakeup in the Egyp-tian Cabinet as a purge byPresident Anwar Sadat to solid-ifiy his control.

Sis cabinet ministers, in-cluding the defense minister,

T. Gen. Monamed Fawzi, revsigned Thursday night along,vrith three high-ranking offic-ials of the Arab Socialist Union,Egypt's- only political party.

Cairo Radio broadcast aStatement by Industry MinisterAziz Sidy, a Sadat supporter,appealing to the Egyptianpeople to maintain national un-ity "in the face of those tryingto sow sedition in Dhe ranks."

Sadat scheduled a broadcasttonight.

It was the first manor breachamong Egypt's leaders to cometo the surface since Sadat tookover in September after tinedeath of President Gamal Afo-del Nasser. The r i t began withSadat's Iring of AM Sabry, hispro-Soviet vice president, ear-Mer this month.

Although more dismissals orresignations had been expected,Israelis and otter Arab watch-ers were surprised at the ex-tent of the snakeup and espe-

cially by l i e resignation ofFawzi, who was not known tohave any pronounced politicallearnings. Intoned sources saidhe apparently had been work-

g smoothly -with Sadat onstrategy against Israel.

Israeli experts on Aral) af-fair said z2. of tkos<. -sao re-signed leaned toward extremistand pro-Moscow lines. "This isa bitter pill which the -Soviets•will faave to swallow—and stillkeep silent," wrote Oded Zaraiof tie newspaper Haaretz.

Another of those quitting wasEgypt's top policeman, InteriorMinister Shawari Gumah. Hisresignation was tie first an-nounced, shortly after Sadat de-creed an immediate end to allspecial police surveillance m-cJodiDig wiretapping. (JamahWas replaced by Mahmoud Sa-lem, former governor of Alex-andria.

was "tantamoumt to a coup i Minister Mohammed Fayek.d'etat," and the key to futuredevelopments was in the handsof the army.

Sadat prefaced the .purgewith a series of visits Tuesdayand Wednesday to army com-manders and troops along theSuez Canal front, evidently toassure himself of their support.And he named tie army chiefof staff, Maj. Gen. MohammedS'adek, to" replace Fawzi andpromoted Mm to lieutenantgeneral.

The shafceup was seen in Bei-rut as an obvious attempt bySadat to rid himself of his polit-ical foes.

Fayek was particularly closeto Sabry.

The fliree officials of t i eArab Socialist Union who re-signed were members of a pow-er group formed by Sabry.Ifoey were Labib Shukair,speaker of fflie National Assem-bly; Abdel Mohsen Afoul Nur,secretary general of the party.and Dia Bdin Daoud, the par-ty's No. 2 man. Their resigna-tions bad been rumored earlierthis week.

Sabry had opposed Sadat ona number of issues, includinghis dialogue with, the UnitedStates over a possible settle-ment with Israel.

ion."

But fiscal sources confidedater that the governor wasfanning a preventive maneuv-sr of his own. He device was;aid to be unprecedented butegally permissible. What thegovernor might do, they ex-ilained, is to insist that the pro-losed appropriation and thesupporting tax to pay for it beincluded in the same bill. Thelegislature thus could not haveme without the other.For example, the first section

of the bill could appropriate $15•million for the p a r o c h i a lschools. This is the amount thatwould have to be supplied in thestate's present fiscal year to in-itiate a $30-million aid increaseduring the next school year. Thesecond .half of the bill wouldprovide for a tax increase—pr%sumably the 20 per cent in-'crease in the liquor tax thatRockefeller once advocated. Itwould yield about $15 million.

Similarly, if the legislaturewanted to restore revenue-shar-ing aid to' local government tothe pre-cut level, the bill de-signed for that purpose wouldappropriate $76 million in itsfirst section. The second section1

would contain a commensuratelax increase — presumably the2-cent-a-package cigarette taxand the 1-eent-a-gallon gasolinetax that Rockefeller had pro-posed. They would yield a totalof about million.

The pontiff warned Christiansagainst embracing Marxismand urged caution toward so-cMisra and Western liberalismor capitalism. He said Chris-tians should go "beyond everysystem" to assert "the specificcharacter of the Christian cen-tribuition for a positive trans-formation of Society."

T h e . 73-year-old pontiffsounded his call in a 10,000-word document that summedup and built upon the publicand social and political pro-nouncements of Ms nearlyeight-year reign. The documentwas "an. apostolic letter," sim-ilar to an encyclical, addressedto Maurice Cardinal Roy of Ca-nada, the president of the Vati-can Commission Justice andPeace.

member of the special legisla-tive panel that proposed thenewly enacted, five-year teach-er tenure law says he now isconvinced that local schoolboards should be allowed togrant tenure to teachers after 30days.

Republican Assemblyman H.Clark Bell of Woodstock told areporter Thursday that districtofficials should be given the re-sponsibility to make up theirown minds on the often contro-versial matter without interfer-ence from the state.

"If a board wants to retain ateacher," Bell said, "then itought to be free to grant himtenure whenever it wants."

The only restriction would bethat the teacher had to be em-ployed by the district for atleast 30 days.

Bell commented in responseto an inquiry about an amend-ment he filed to the teacher ten-ure bill passed by the legisla-ture in early April as part of aso-called mandates package.

Gov. Rockefeller signed thetenure legislation a week afterit gained approval in the Senateand Assembly. The law took ef-Sect May 9.

The statute has been interpretsed in different ways, however.The result, Bell said, is thatsome school officials are grant-ing tenure as they see fit.

StalinTBILISI, U.S.S.R. (AP) -

Communist party chief LeonidI. Brezhnev praised Joseph Sta-lin today.. Speaking, in the capi-tal of Georgia, where"' Stalinwas born, Brezhnev bracketedStalin's name with that of Le-nin as a prominent revolution-ary leader.

T h e nationally 'televisedspeech was. part of ceremoniesmarking the 50th anniversaryof Soviet rule in Georgia.

Later on in his address,Brezhnev spoke about the at-mosphere created by "over-coming the cult of personality,"an official code word for Stalin-ism.

But unlike his last speech re-ferring to Stalin, in November1966;. Brezhnev made no state-ment of allegiance to the deci-sions of the 20th party Con-gress, the 1956 meeting wherethen Premier Nikita Khrush-c h e v condemned Stalin'scrimes and promised therewould be no return to the past.

The public mention of Stalin'sname today was greeted bythunderous applause from thethousands of party workers andofficials at the ceremony.

"The history of the revolu-tionary struggle in Georgia isunbreakably connected with the

edly sent it a new proposal history of the revolutionary

movement of the Russianpeople," Brezhnev said.

"All people of the Caucasus,-with- the activity- &B§> S^aehingof Vladimir Lenii%~ ipjfeiherwith prominent revolutionariesGeorgian proletariat produced,Joseph Stalin . . . and otherswere engaged in the struggle."

Since Khrushchev's over-Ms successorsthrow, have

slowly but progressively per-mitted what internal critics ofthe regime call "re-Staliniza-tion."

Probably because of internalresistance to Stalin's rehabilita-tion, Brezhnev and his associ-ates have had to proceed slow-ly. There were reports beforethe recent 24th party congressthat Stalin's star would riseagain at that gathering, but hisdid not happen.

It was significant that Brezh-nev chose Stalin's birthplace toevoke his name. The Khrush-chev line has never been popu-lar in Georgia, where Stalin isstill a hero. But any declarationby the party's general secre-tary, the most powerful man inthe Soviet system, has over-tones of official policy, and thefact that his speech was tele-vised nationally added to itssignificance.
