Show The Daily Utah Chronicle, Friday, December 3, 1982 Page Two ROM INTERNATIONAL Trade restrictions denounced SAO PAULO, Brazil President Reagan on Thursday called economic growth "a crucial pillar of peace" and denounced the spread of international trade restrictions as "an ugly specter stalking the world" destroying jobs. "The aim of these actions may be to protect jobs, but the practical result, as we know from historical experience, is the destruction of jobs," Reagan told U.S. and Brazilian business leaders.

Although he did not name the Soviet Union or Cuba, aides said he was referring to them as the exporters and supporters of leftist guerilla movements in Central America. Reagan flew to Sao Paulo, the largest and most industrialized city in Latin America, to deliver his speech and was returning to the capital city of Brasilia to spend the night. He goes to Bogota, Colombia, Friday. le Before making the journey here, Reagan held a final President Joao Baptista Brazilian discussions with of round the U.S. and at Embassy to praise the Figueiredo stopped briefly mission staff and appeal for help in "strengthening our relations with Brazil." 520-mi- Iranians down Iraqi MiG Iranian jets shot down an Iraqi in a dogfight over the southern sector of their battlefront Thursday, Iran's official Islamic Republic News NICOSIA, Cyprus MiG-2- 5 Agency said.

In Brazil, President Reagan called it "a vote for a stronger, more secure America." But he said "We're not jumping up and down and claiming a victory, because we know it's going to be a " very tough battle on the floor" of the House, possibly next week. The deadlock rejected a move by Rep. Joseph P. Addabbo, to cut $988 million for the firstfiyeofanventual 100 of the nation's first new strategic missiles in two decades. The committee then went on to approve an overall defense spending D-N.- Y., bill of $231.6 billion of the $2.45 billion earmarked for research and development work on the missile and its basing system. But the committee did attach some strings, approving an that would forbid amendment by Rep. Ralph Regula, of the Force Air to the production funds or $600 spend any million of the research money until March 15. In the meantime, the Pentagon would have to submit a report on March 1 giving a monthly production and delivery schedule for the weapons and assuring that none would have to be put in storage before the basing system is operational in 1986.

The total of 4,841,000 was the highest since the unemployment compensation program was enacted in 1935 and was 156,000 higher than the previous record 4,685,000 for the f week ending Oct. 16. Several private economists said the unemployment claims report signaled further rises in the overall jobless rate, which hit a high of 10.4 percent in October. That translates to some 11.6 million people out of work. The staff of the congressional Joint Economic Committee, focusing on the unemployment claims statistics, said last week it believed the jobless rate would reach 10.5 percent in November. post-Depressi- on WASHINGTON Senior Pentagon officials have urged dropping the fixed limit of 55 U.S. military advisers in El Salvador and using instead an "annual average" that would permit more advisers to go to the Central American nation. Defense Department officials who discussed the plan, asking not to be identified, said the proposal would allow the United States to send in more than 55 advisers at times as long as the average for the year was 55 or fewer. v Salvadoran training needs, The chances for President Reagan's approval of the change, however, appear doubtful. It is opposed by the State Department, which fears that any move to increase die number of advisers would spark a negative reaction in Congress, where U.S. aid to El Salvador is already under attack. The limit of 55 advisers was set in March 1981 when Reagan stepped up military aid to El Salvador. The ceiling has remained unchanged since then, a stability that some officials feel has escalation. helped quiet public fears about a Vietnam-styl- e REGIONAL Propane truck rolls over on 1--15 KAYSVILLE, Utah Authorities closed Interstate 15 near here for nearly 8 hours Thursday after a propane tanker overturned and began leaking. Dawn Bredenbroker, a dispatcher for the Utah Highway Patrol's Ogden office, said an undetermined amount of propane leaked out of the tanker before it was plugged. She said the northbound truck also caught fire when it overturned about 7:30 a.m., but firefighters were able to prevent flames from reaching the propane. Patricia Ray, 25, of Salt Lake City was injured when the tanker smashed into her vehicle, authorities said.

The proposal, backed by President Reagan as well as leaders of both parties in Congress, would raise an estimated $5.5 billion a year. Administration officials say that comes to about $30 a year for the average motorist. Eighty percent of the increase in the gas tax would be dedicated to highway and bridge improvements, the rest to mass transit. The current federal gasoline tax of 4 cents a gallon also is dedicated to those programs. The plan would create an estimated 170,000 jobs in construction related industries at a time when unemployment, officially measured at 10.4 percent, is the highest it's been in four decades. Even so, the White House is pushing the measure as a highway repair program, not a jobs bill. For their part, Democrats say the jobs it would create are not enough of an economic recovery program, and they are drafting an additional $5 billion measure to stimulate employment.
