Less Spending More Saving Tuesday, June 17, 1980 gay hcme Gains Little ing by .02 percent as previously reported It represented the first time personal income had fallen since July 1975 when the nation was trapped in its last recession. The growth in income was held to almost nothing because layoffs, particularly in the manufacturing sector, cut seasonally adjusted $2.07 trillion last month, a negligible 0.1 percent increase. At the same time, the department revised its original numbers for April, the month the current recession took its hardest shot at the economy. It now says personal income actually fell 0.1 percent in April, instead of grow overall wages and salries for Americans by $1.1 billion. On the spending side, personal consumption expenditures, a general measure of consumer spending, were off 0.2 percent or $2.4 billion in May.

At the same time, the savings rate, which reached historical lows during the wan- WASHINGTON (UPI) -Americans personal income showed almost no gain in May while consumers cut back on their spending and began saving for brighter economic times, the government said today. The Commerce Department said personal income increased only $3.1 billion to a More Jobs for Class Of '80 ing months of last year, shot up to 4 5 percent of disposable income in April, the last month statistics were available. Last year, consumers kept the economy from sliding into recession by spending money they would have otherwise saved. In recent months as the economy has headed into a steep downturn, the trend has reversed: spending is down, savings are up. The Commerce Department said manufacturing payrolls declined $3 7 billion in May with most of the drop coming in the automobiles, metals, paper, rubber and plastics industries.

Payrolls in the coal and petroleum industries were up. The eruption of Mount St. Helens in Washington and the civil disturbances in Miami were responsible more than half of a $2.2 billion drop in proprietors income and rental income, the department said. Farm income declined $1.5 billion in May, roughly half its drop in April. NEW YORK (UPI Job prospects for the college class of 1980 particularly engineering graduates are good despite the recession, with hiring by campus recruiters up as much as 10 percent from last year.

Combined reports from the College Placement Council and the Frank Endicott Survey said Monday that about 670 private firms who recruit senior students signed up 8 to 10 percent more graduates than in 1979. The hiring increase, however, had been expected to be higher. The same firms last fall projected a 13 percent rise in the number of jbbs. The projections were off 3 to 5 percent. But jobs for engineers, as predicted, were up 21 percent over last year, due mainly to stepped up activity in fields of transportation, defense and energy.

Other shoo-ins on the hiring front include computer whizzes, science and business graduates, the two reports said. Starting salaries in these high-demand fields are around $20,000 a year. By contrast, first paychecks for liberal arts graduates, who may have to hustle and show flexibility, are pegged at around $13,000 a year. The more conservative hiring attitude probably reflects concern about current economic uncertainties, said the College Placement Council based in Bethlehem, Pa. and checker of 550 of the employers who recruit on college campuses.

The Imperial Valley was a desert turned into a garden through diversion of Colorado River water beginning in 1901. Since 1942, the water has been delivered through the All American Canal constructed by the government.

At issue was a 1926 law forbidding federal water from going to any privately owned irrigable land in excess of 160 acres. Nearly half of the land in the valley about 233,000 acres is owned in plots larger than 160 acres The 9th U.S Circuit Court of Appeals, in a case brought in part by persons hoping to buy some of the land at forced sales, ruled all land in the valley was subject to the 160-acre limit. The Interior Department made such a ruling in 1967 Had the high court not overturned tne appeals panel, land owners in the Imperial Valley would have had to sell portions of their land everything over 160 acres per family member in order to qualify for free Governor WantsMX Alternative Kawasaki Jet Ski, SALT LAKE CITY UPI )-Gov.

Matheson told reporters he was impressed by the Minuteman proposal developed by professor William Van Cleave, director of the deserts of Utah and Nevada Matheson said he also opposed so-called split-basing," in which only 2,300 of the horizontal shelters would be built in the two states a proposal now being considered by Congress.

Van Cleave is also a national defense adviser to the Reagan campaign. The Utah governor said he was aware Van Cleave was advising Reagan, but that had no bearing on Matheson's belief that the Minuteman proposal would better serve the nation than Carter's $35 billion MX plan.
