Show 2A Sun Advocate, Price, Utah Wednesday, June 23, 1982 Did Church take illegal contribution? Demos hope for a comeback - The Democratic 1982 political comeback on an endorsement of the nuclear freeze movement and a pledge to pursue a better and fairer domestic policy than President Reagan has followed. Attacks on every aspect of the Republican administrations policies dominate the draft statements received earlier this month by delegates to the National Party Conference which opens Friday in Philadelphia. But while the conference delegates will be asked to condemn Republican policies, the draft statements offer few specific Democratic alternatives beyond the nuclear freeze endorsement and a call for a rollback of Reagans domestic policies. In a cover letter, Democratic Party Chairman Charles T. Manatt described the draft statements as speaking for a strong and confident Democratic Party, ready to lead our nation forward out of a Republican recession. They reject the narrow, rigid ideology of trickle-doweconomics, unfair tax cuts and unwise program cuts; a radical administration talking tough but failing to provide the leadership necessary to meet the challenge of a rapidly changing global economy, Manatt said. The draft calls on the United States to pursue on an urgent basis serious arms control negotiations with the Soviet Union, including a mutual and verifiable freeze on the testing, production and deployment of WASHINGTON (AP) Party is basing its hopes for a Political rumbling has already started in the United Mine Workers of America presidential race with accusations of incumbent President Sam Church taking illegal campaign contributions. Church is seeking his first election to the presidency. He was elected vice president in 1978 and assumed the presidency when Arnold Millers heart problems forced him to resign. The controversy developed on April 2 when tranU.S. Rep. John P. Murtha, sferred $1,000 of his campaign money to Churchs election headquarters. The policy in UMWA elections is to accept campaign contributions from membership only. Church n nuclear warheads, delivery systems. missiles and other On economic policy, the Democratic attack would be even harsher, but the alternatives vaguer. The Democratic statement describes the administrations economic program as a massive and radical shift in tax and budget resources from middle-clas- s families and the to the Americans. It wealthiest poor very added that administration policies have given us the deepest recession in 50 years; lower capital investment; and ballooning federal deficits. Military experts look ahead WASHINGTON (AP) Military planners, studying the lessons of the Falklands war, voice concern over the growing number of smaller nations with the great equalizer smart missiles that increase the vulnerability of the worlds great navies. Brunei, for example, a nation of about 200,000 on the coast of Borneo, has an arsenal of the smart missiles. Every nation that has the money to buy a smart weapon poses a considerable risk, says Adm. Harry Train Jr., commander of the U.S. Atlantic fleet. In the Falklands war, the Argentine attacks on British ships with French-bui- lt Exocets of the the showed new power graphically weapons. The major powers no longer have a monopoly on new weapons. The Exocet-typ- e missiles are a popular item for any nation with money. Military officials suggest that some nations buy smart missiles because the purchase status. gives them Iran has more than a dozen different missiles, including some of the most sophisticated American models, according to publications that track missile sales. Libya has a dozen different types and South Africa has 11. The United States has sold many of its missiles to other NATO nations, which in turn sell their own missiles. Among the nations that have the Exocet are Malaysia, Ecuador, Ghana, Kuwait and Abu Dhabi. new-generati- Jim Reinhart examines the temporary cabin he and his companions share.

Helen Hughes, head of the banks economic analysis department, says that in the it was the poor recession of the countries of the Southern Hemisphere that mid-197- pulled the North out of the trough. The poor countries can help recession-plague- d nations by dismantling import barriers. More orders from the poor countries for industrial products and machinery would stimulate business and create new jobs in the rich countries. Mrs. Hughes thinking follows that of William E. Brock, the U.S. trade represen- tative. Brock said in a recent speech that the United States already sells more of its manufactured goods to the poor countries than it is sells to all of western Europe and Japan combined. There would be even more benefits for both poor and rich, he said, if the poor countries put up fewer obstacles. We wanted them in the system, he said, h and they came in as they were with tariffs, quotas, licensing systems and a whole host of ... protectionist barriers. Brock says the poor countries should open their markets in return for promises from the United States and other industrial countries not to set up new barriers to their products. Many of the poor countries are now able to with export industrial products themselves the help of companies from abroad that have relocated because of cheaper labor and production costs. sky-hig- phoobVj.fisto(f Living on the river (Continued from Page 1A) set up the temporary home, Reinhart moved in, and construction of a mud and straw quansit hut began. The quansit hut is a military term for a highly resistant mud and clay building that looks similar to an igloo. Our forefathers before us used this method for years, Jensen said. The old trappers and Indians could make it through winters in these kinds of huts. For now though, while their quansit hut is still under construction, the three Price natives eat, sleep and roll their own cigarettes in a small cabin. The meals here are beautiful, Reinhart said. Small unemployment checks and food stamps have sustained them. They buy freeze-drie- d foods and coffee with their dirt-floor- . government money and do the cooking on a small grill over a campfire.

Kids used to come by camp now and then, out shooting BB guns, and theyd stop for water and wed give them a drink, Jensen said. Every once in a while theyd come back by and pay us back with a jug of water. The children have stopped coming by recently, according to Jensen, who fears their parents have told them to stay away. Kids go home and tell their parents about people living on the river and they wont let them come down anymore, he said.

We don't have control over who sends us contributions, but we do have control over whether we accept them or not, Church campaign operator Valerie Bland said. We did not accept the check and it has already been sent back. The incident has prompted presidential challenger Rich Trumka and other UMWA officials to criticize Church openly. UMWA Pennsylvania political action chairman Ernest Hap Mallick issued a press release this week demanding an apology from Church and asking that miners not endorse the candidacy of Murtha in upcoming elections. Ms. Bland said Church told her he would not reply to such ludicrous accusations and said that it was terrible that the union would think of condemning Murtha who has been a good friend of the union. In District 22, President Mike Dalpiaz said the membership here isnt happy about Churchs dealings. Our recent local meetings indicate that District 22 will probably support Trumka by a very substantial margin, Dalpiaz said. Trumka campaign manager Joe Corcoran said he has no knowledge of Church returning the contribution, but said if Church has returned the money it was only after the incident was brought out into the open over a month later. We have seen a lot of press coverage and editorials in Murthas own district criticizing the donation because it is money that was n raised from members, Corcoran said. We are standing behind Hap Mallicks press release until we know Church has returned the money and publicly apologizes. non-unio- |
