WASHINGTON—President Carter has named 61 year-old Economist Alfred Kahn to head his new anti-inflation program. Kahn has served as chairman of the Civil Aeronautics Board for the past 16 months.

Chavis only member of W-10 left in jail UPI—Two more members of the Wilmington 10 will be paroled Friday, leaving only the Reverend Benjamin Chavis, the group's leader, behind bars. Phillip Brown, administrative assistant to the state parole commission, says Marvin Patrick and Connie Tindall will be released from the New Hanover prison unit near Wilmington. Friday is the first day the men are eligible for parole. Brown says both will live with their parents and work for a Wilmington construction firm. The Wilmington 10 are nine black men and one white woman convicted in the firebombing of a white-owned grocery in Wilmington during the 1971 civil unrest. The group is described by Amnesty International as political prisoners. Patrick and Tindall originally received prison sentences of 22-to-26 years. However, earlier this year Governor James Hunt reduced their sentences to 15-tol9 years. Hunt rejected requests from Wilmington 10 supporters to release the inmates immediately. Anne Sheppard Turner was already on parole when Hunt reduced the sentences. Chavis, who is taking part in a study-release program at Duke University divinity school, originally was sentenced to 25-to 29 years. Hunt reduced his term to 17-21 years, making him eligible for parole on January 1st.
