Meantime, a "where do we go from here" meeting on the stadium project is set for today between city officials and project architects. "WE ARE GOING to review that matter and see where we are and what we can possibly to do continue to function," said Wallace M.

Power, public utilities director and stadium coordinator, referring to City Council's failure Wednesday to appropriate scheduled planning funds. A hope that private funds will become available to finance interim planning work on a riverfront stadium was voiced Thursday by an Enquirer source. Such funds, the source said, might be reimbursed by the city later or might be tax deductible. This would allow the work to proceed until money commitments are obtained from baseball and football interests, since this apparently is necessary before further public funds can be made available. It also would demonstrate the area's good faith to Na- Nonetheless, added Mr.

Power, "the administration Is going to keep going within the bounds that we have, toward the construction of a sports stadium at the earliest possible date "No, sir," he declared, "the thing is not stopping." He said this will include the seeking of agreements with the State of Kentucky on ramp tie-ins to the Suspension Bridge and with the Pennsylvania Railroad on tracks running through the site.

It was this $418,000, out of a projected total fee of about $1.5 million, that Council failed to approve Wednesday. Mr. Heery, whose staff had been scheduled to start detailed working drawings September 19, said this week's meetings are intended as a means of cleaning up loose ends and completing portions of the work; already under way before deciding what elements can be continued. HE SAID earlier that Council's action has delayed completion of the stadium at least two months or until October, 1968. A.

One problem he cited, however, was that of reassembling the 25-to-30-man staff the firm had gathered for the project when the work gets into high gear again. THIS STAFF did the basic design presented last month under an original city appropriation of from the Income Tax Permanent Improvements Fund.

After the increase had become all but industry-wide by mid-afternoon, but only then, the White House termed It "inflationary." The Increase Is $3 a ton on sheet steel, a rise of about 2 on this major steel product. The "irresponsible" charge came at midday from Gardner Ackley, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors, who had consulted with the President. Mr. Ackley complained that four companies, including United States Steel had raised their prices without responding to his telegraphed request of Tuesday evening to talk the matter over with the government first. He said "this is not an hour In which this business leadership of America can take pride." But even as he was issuing his statement, Bethlehem Steel the one company that did confer with Mr.

Ackley this morning, announced its price increase. And the last two important producers, Republic and Kaiser, made their move this afternoon, long after the Ackley statement THE WORD 'inflationary" was used after the price increase had become general by Bill D. Moyers, the White House press secretary, who said Mr. Ackley had "no question in his mind but that it will contribute to inflationary pressure." The direct impact on the price of a car will be less than $5 and on a refrigera tor less than 50 cents. But the psychological impact of the steel Increase could be greater than Its direct cost effect on the consumer of goods using steel.

Mr. Moyers said this afternoon the President felt that "the larger public Interest" may seem to have been "invisibly affected" by the steel price Increases but that in time the consequence of price increases becomes "much more apparent because the public suffers by inflation." "I know," said Mr. Moyers, "that the President received the news with considerable concern that the public interest had been violated. He feels one of the prices you pay for the kind of free society we have is that from time to time a decision by business or labor is not in accordance with the national Interest as the government sees it." The John Wiethe group, which hopes to operate a National Football League franchise in Cincinnati, came up Thursday night with the first public commitment from a prospective tenant in the city's proposed riverfront stadium. Other Side Of Coin LOUISVILLE CD Radio station WSAC, which never had played a Beatle record, started doing so every 39 minutes Thursday.

The record is preceded by an editorial denouncing the "hypocrisy" of banning the Beatles' music and defending their right to say what they think. of his group have been working to bring a professional football franchise to Cincinnati for the last 14 months and have received encouragement from the NFL front office. Draft Call Up Sharply BY GEORGE HAHN Of The Enquirer Staff Beatles fans can relax. Despite a national furor, kicked off by John I.ennon's statement that his group is "more popular than Jesus," the mop-topped idols of teenagers everywhere are not going to be banned from local airwaves. Roy Cooper, WSAI disc Jockey, said his station is going to keep on playing Beatle records as usual.

"I think the press misinterpreted Len-non's statement," he said. It was Just an example of British satirical humor like their recent album cover, which had to be withdrawn from the market. It showed the group, attired in butchers Jackets with chunks of meat clinging to them, surrounded by dissected baby dolls. "I don't believe they meant the statement like it sounded. Most people who have met the Beatles have nothing but high praise for them." WSAI, he said, is co-sponsor of the Beatl'js August 20 appearance at Crosley Field.

WSAI disc Jockeys will be emcees. James McGovern, general manager of WUBt, said his station will also continue to play Beatle records. "We don't attach a lot of weight to what they say outside the realm of music," he said. "We play their records for entertainment value only. "Banning their records on the basis of any statement they are supposed to hstve made makes as much sense as banning Frank Sinatra's because he punched a reporter." The controversy erupted over an article in "Datebook" magazine which quoted Maureen Cleave of the London Evening Standard as reporting Lennon as saying: "Christianity will go.

It will vanish and sirink. I needn't argue about that. I'm right and I will be proved right We're (the Beatles) more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first rock roll or Christianity. Jesus was all right but His disciples were thick and ordinary." Beatle Lennon's remarks were first published in London on Mar 4. They were ignored until an American magazine picked them up for its September issue.

Since then, dozens of radio stations throughout the United State! have banned theiir music. A disc jockey in Birmingham, heart of the South's Bible Belt, sparked Washington SENATE ACTS: The Senate votes to have Congress order striking airlines machinists back to work for 30 days and authorize President Johnson to keep them on the Job for another five months. The resolution awaits action by the House. Page 2. NEW HOPE: The House defeats attempts to further weaken the open housing section of the administration's civil rights bill.

This action gives sponsors of the bill new hope that the controversial section will survive further assaults. Page 2. Mr. Wiethe's group says it will pay 12 of the gross attendance receipts as rental fee to play in the stadium. "This would be one of the highest rental fees of any franchise in the country," said Mr.

Wiethe, whose group includes Jack Far-casin, Jack Tranter and Glenn Roberts. "No other prospective tenant has made such an offer." A group headed by Paul Brown, former coach of the Cleveland Browns, also hopes to operate the 16th NFL franchise in Cincinnati. Mr. Brown would be an owner, general manager and coach. MR.

WIETHE said his group's offer "is feasible for the operating club and would be acceptable to the visiting teams in accordance with NFL rules." The Wiethe, Farcasin, Tranter, Roberts group believes the City of Cincinnati and Hamilton County must back the revenue bonds to make the financing of the proposed stadium feasible. "However, we want to do all in our power to make the stadium a self-supporting facility and lighten the burden of the taxpayer," said Mr. Wiethe. "IF OTHER big league tenants would offer similar percentage It is our belief that the stadium operation could retire the bonded indebtedness In its entirety. "If the big league tenants pay their share together with the city and county, the contribution of the taxpayers will be small compared with the benefits that the city will derive." Mr.

Several radio stations scheduled bonfires for the burning of Beatle records and pictures. Others said they would wait until they checked the quote's authenticity. Still others polled listeners and said the polls overwhelmingly supported the ban. Walter Shenson, American producer of a Beatles movie, characterized the group as "not irreverent and not Irreligious but honest unto themselves. "I think their loyal friends are going to remain loyal.

They are terribly decent boys when you get to know them. They have a high standard of morality." He said the furor will have no effect on his plans to star the musicians again. A spokesman for the Beatles said there i will be no comment from any of the group. One of Lennon's friends said: "John thinks and reads a lot about religion. He's very seriously interested in it I wouldn't think of speaking about his beliefs but I do know that he has a Bible and even a crucifix in his home." Meanwhile, Beatles manager Brian Epstein hurriedly flew to New York Thursday night amid growing American protests over the remark made by Lennon.

A spokesman for the Beatles, Keith Howell, said Mr. Epstein cut short a vacation and lefS for New York to "assess the situation." He said Mr. Epstein would confer with officials of the General Artists who represent the group in America. There was immediate speculation the 3eatles might alter or possibly cancel their upcoming 19-day American tour. They are scheduled to visit 14 cities on their fourth trip to the United States beginning August 11.

3 WASHINGTON UP) The need for military replacements In Vietnam sent draft calls escalating Thursday. The Pentagon announced the September call of is being raised to 37,300, and set an October draft of 46,200, highest for any month since the Korean War. The boost in September requirements was attributed to a reduction in estimated Army enlistments for the month, based on the most recent enlistment data. The October call is the highest since the 53,000 sought In May 1953, near the end of the Korean War. Peak calls during that conflict reached 80,000.

WITH SOME 283,000 men now in Vietnam, the armed services already have surpassed their announced strength goal of 3,093,000 a year ahead of time and indications are that the buildup will continue. Just how big the increase will be is not certain. Deputy Secretary of De-fenso Cyrus R. Vance said recently "we do not know yet" what the on military manpower will be.
