2 ENERGY Ross of Sun-Times says Saudi reportedly will propose sharp price cut and sharp production increase during HAK's M-E visit. FEO official noted "signs the Saudis are prepared to reduce prices by over 1/3 and raise production same amount. " This "would remove threat of renewed US shortage for several years, " says Ross. Even if some in OPEC refuse to go along, a unilateral Saudi action "would tend to drive down prices at all sources. " LA Times reports Union Oil prexy Hartley says oil profits show new domestic crude prices should be cut. "Incentive is currently greater than required, 11 he said. Monitor reports an observer describes Sawhill as "cool, efficient. sensitive to people's feelings he'll be a smooth administrator. 11 Another "raves" about Sawhill's "enthusiasm" and says "he's open, one of best listeners around, and after he's listened he'll move. 11 He seems "more of a humanist than a slide- rule administrator, 11 says Monitor's Sweeney. ECONOMY Noting meeting w/economic advisers (which received light print coverage), Rather on CBS AM reported RN's sticking by statement US isn't in a recession and there won't be one, despite fact some Hill Dems say US is in or close to recession. Noting Warren also said experts haven't changed their views, Rather reported RN's said to be opposed to tax cut. RN may say why in Miss. speech which is expected to concentrate on economy. And unless plans change, aides say RN may also outline plans for controlling inflation after controls are removed, said Rather. In Wed. Lead, Star reports chances fo : r tax cut are improving as result of Mills shift. He's no longer against quick action, a shift from earlier stand that Hill should defer any action til June or July. He says he has open mind on prompt House acceptance of any Senate passed tax cut. Tho move "might be a mistake" if Admin's prediction of midyear upturn is accurate, "it also could br a mistake to hold up a cut if we're going into a tailspin, " said Mills.
