However, some economists have predicted that other signs of sluggish growth will translate into an even lower figure than the original 3.6 percent estimate. THE REPORT on income and outlays showed personal income rising by 0.9 percent following gains of 0.6 percent in August and 0.7 percent in July. It was the strongest gain since a similar 0.9 percent rise in June.

The rebound in personal consumption spending, which includes virtually everything but interest payments on debt, follows a 1.6 percent jump in retail sales in September. The personal spending increase included a $4.5 billion increase for durable goods, compared with a decline of $6.6 billion in August. The report said that the August decline and the September gain were due to a fall and then a rise in auto purchases. Purchases of nondurable goods, items intended to last less than three years, increased $18.4 billion in September, compared to a decline of $3.1 billion in August. AMERICANS' WAGES and salaries were up $11.7 billion in September, compared to a $3.8 billion August gain.

The big gain came in the service industries, where payrolls rose by $6.2 billion. Manufacturing payrolls declined $1.8 billion in September with about one-third of that drop attributed to the strike against General Motors Corp. Other details of the income and spending report: Personal income rose $26.1 billion in September to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $3.07 trillion. Disposable, or aftertax, income rose 0.8 percent in September. WASHINGTON (AP) Americans' personal income rose a strong 0.9 percent in September while consumer spending, after showing no gains for two months, shot up by 1.4 percent, the government reported today.

The Commerce Department said the rise in consumer spending was the strongest since a 1.6 percent gain in April. Since that time, spending has been on a downward slide, posting no gains at all in July and August. ECONOMISTS HAVE cited the drop in consumer buying as one of the key reasons for the dramatic slowdown in overall economic growth since June. Total economic output, after surging ahead at rates of 10.1 percent and 7.1 percent in the first and second quarters this year, slowed to a 3.6 percent pace from July through September, according to a preliminary estimate last month. The government will revise that estimate tomorrow, and today's CHICAGO (AP) Grain and soybean futures prices were mostly lower at the close of trading yesterday on the Chicago BOcJd of Trade.

The Dow Jones average of 30 industrials dropped 3.20 to 1,192.69 by noontime on Wall Street. Gainers held a 6-5 lead over losers among New York Stock Exchange-listed issues. Norway and Britain have announced cuts this week in their prices for North Sea Oil.

There were reports today that Abu Dhabi had also lowered its official price. The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries said its members' oil ministers will meet in Geneva on Oct. 29 to consider the pricing situation. Donald Hodel, the U.S. energy secretary, told a convention in.

London that he doesn't believe oil prices "can stay much above" $25 a barrel in the next few years. As that sequence of events began to unfold, energy stocks declined broadly on Wall Street Wednesday, depressing many of the market indexes. Volume on the Big Board came to 54.24 million shares at noontime, up from 38.58 million at the same point Wednesday. 3 1331 39'4- 5,000 bu minimum; dollars per bushel 26 '4 13 Dec 5 116 1534 10 1167 54' 8 3138 18 2 199 8 6 5554 25' '4 8 815 3234 6 1012 21' 2.81 2.61' 2.76'4 2.79 2.863 2.87' 2.85'4 2.85' 2.92' 2.923-4 2.90' 2.90' 2.95 2.95'. 2.93'! 2.93' 2.883,4 2.89'j 2.88'4 2.89 2.85' 2.863i 2.8434 2.8534 2.94 2.94 2.93 2.93' sales 20,629.

The decision by U.S.

District Judge Bruce Van Sickle of Bismarck marks the first time the Petroleum Marketing Practices Act has been successfully used against a major oil company, lawyers for Lloyd Sannes said. Sannes, who operates Lloyd's North Broadway Standard in Minot, filed the action in federal court against Amoco Oil after the firm declared his lease terminated. Amoco contended Sannes had fail ed to pay past due amounts on his supplier's account. Sannes has held an Amoco franchise for more than 10 years. In his judgment, which was made Friday, Van Sickle found there was some question whether Sannes had indeed been late, and that even if he was it was only by a matter of hours.

The judge ruled terminating the franchise would defeat the intent of the Petroleum Marketing Practices Act, which he said is meant to help franchise holders bargain with the more powerful oil companies. Van Sickle noted Sannes had operated Amoco stations for more than 20 years in Minot and 10 years at the North Broadway location under a series of franchise agreements whereby Sannes sells gasoline and other products under the trademark of the firm. Sannes said his attorneys, Richard Thomas of Minot and William Lucas of Bismarck, viewed the result as the first successful action by a service station operator against a major oil firm under the act. Amoco has not decided if it will appeal Van Sickle's decision, Bill Pearce, Amoco's counsel from Bismarck, said yesterday. The company has about three weeks to decide, he said.

GOVERNMENT BOND FUND WASHINGTON (AP) Presidential economist William Niska-nen today called the concept of comparable pay for men and women "a truly crazy proposal." Niskanen, a member of the president's Council of Economic Advisers, also told a women's group that most of the salary differences between the sexes is due to women interrupting their careers for marriage and child-bearing. His comments to members of Women in Government Relations drew some raised eyebrows and prompted a few in the mostly female audience to offer brief rebuttals. Niskanen appeared on a panel with economist George Perry of the Brookings Institution, an pdviser to Democratic presidential contender Walter F.Mondale. Perry declined to offer his views on the subject, saying afterward he wasn't prepared to talk about it. Niskanen raised the issue in his opening remarks on President Reagan's economic record.

He contended Mondale's "only new proposal is something called comparable worth" which he called "a truly crazy proposal." Fifteen states have'enacted laws requiring that men and women be paid equally when they hold jobs judged to be of equal value, and five others have passed resolutions declaring comparable worth as a goal of state pay plans. In trying to appeal to women voters, Mondale and running mate Geraldine Ferraro have highlighted their strong support for the proposed Equal Rights Amendment, abortion and comparable pay. Niskanen, asked to elaborate on his remarks, replied, "Comparable worth Is an idea whose time, I think, has long passed." He said it was based on the "rather medieval concept of a just pay and a just 47 18 '4 89 43' '4 434 15 1839 28'4 "4 4 19'4- 71 9 1042 234 E.F.
