THE PROGRAM outlined by sources Monday would: Force city departments to live within the budgets approved for them this year unless emergencies occur (such as overtime pay for policemen during the World Series, if it is played in Cincinnati Forbid non-local travel by city employees unless such travel can be proved to be "essential."

rf ed a passible break between Miss Hearst and other elements of the SLA. THE TIMES said the document showed Misses Hearst and Yoshimura were opposed to the use of bombings and other terrorist activities advocated by the Harrises and members of the Soliah family. Stephen Soliah was arrested last Thursday and charged with harboring Misses Hearst and Yoshimura in the apartment where the two were living. The Chronicle said Its sources reported that the document was in the handwriting of Miss Yoshimura and contained only Initials, not proper names. But one source said there were specific comments which "the initials show were the comments of Miss Hearst" the newspaper reported.

THE DISCOVERY of explosives in the apartment where SLA members William and Emily Harris were captured last Thursday, combined with other leads in FBI files, have raised anew the possibility that the SLA became the New World Liberation Front, investigators say. The Front has claimed responsibility for 23 bombings and one arson since surfacing a year ago three months after Harris said in a taped communique: "Let it be known that way mileage figure for all cars it tested. Train said the combined figure, which is an average based on studies Indicating that the average person does 55 of his driving in the city, gives a better reflection of a car's mileage under typical conditions. The combined mileage averages showed the Datsun B-210, Chevette and Japanese Subaru tied for first place, all averaging 33 miles per gallon. As in the past, imported cars dominated the top 10 in both the national and California EPA tests.

FBI agents also searched Monday for possible links between the SLA and terrorist bombings. The San Francisco Chronicle said FBI agents found the critical document last Friday In the apartment where Miss Hearst and fellow fugitive Wendy Yoshimura had been arrested the day before. CHARLES BATES, special agent in charge of the FBI office here, refused to comment, saying to do so could prejudice trial evidence. The newspaper quoted a "source close to the case" as saying the document is "a missive of condemnation" addressed to William and Emily Harris, Miss Hearst's SLA colleagues.

The couple Is "more than strongly criticized," the Chronicle quoted the same unidentified source as saying. The complaints Involve "certain actions" that the Harrises had "either taken part In or were advocating" that others In the "revolutionary struggle" disagreed with, according to another source quoted in the Chronicle story. The New York Times reported Monday that the document Indicat 24 miles per gallon in simulated city driving. The mileage champion in EPA's separate California tests continued to be the four Cylinder Datsun B-210 with manual transmission and 85-cublc-lnch engine. The Japanese Datsun averaged 41 miles per gallon in the California highway test and 29 miles per gallon In city driving.

EPA Administrator Russell E. Train said several models of imported cars which sell briskly In California Including the Honda Civic and Volkswagen Rabbit have not yet completed the agency's test and therefore are not included in the mileage results released Monday.

Lumped together, all the 1976 autos tested so far by the EPA got an average of 17.6 miles per gallon in simulated city and highway driving, compared with 15.6 miles per gallon recorded by the 1975s and 13.9 miles per gallon for the 1974s. However, in California, where pollution standards are tougher, new cars will bet about 11 less gas mileage than the national figures Indicate, EPA officials said.
