business with Toshiba Corp while Japan investigates charges the company sold secret high-tec- h equipment to the Soviets for building quieter submarines officials said Tuesday Efforts to reduce the noise levels of Soviet submarines with precisely machined propellers made by the Japanese were linked to the John Walker family spy ring said administration officials who requested anonymity They suggested the ring may have told Moscow that noisy propellers were the chief reason the US Navy has been able to detect its submarines After the Walker ring was exposed two years ago senior officials said the secrets divulged led to improve Tire Hawker Pleads For Retread on Life Fla (UPI) — A Tampa Bay area television station stopped airing a tire commercial in which a salesman tells viewers he’s “gotta sell 80000 tires in the next month” or die In the commercial balding pitchman Sam Behr tells viewers: “I just got a message from upstairs It says I gotta sell we gotta sell 80000 tires in the next month or I'm gonna die” Behr an Orlando shoe salesman is a friend of Allied Discount Tire owner Stanley Hanin and has been doing commmercials for the firm for eight years He never uses a script “IJust say what comes off the top of my head” he said The advertisement — inspired by TV evangelist Oral ” Roberts’ plea for $8 million — was dropped by WTSP Channel 10 in St Petersburg WTVT Channel 13 in Tampa pulled the ad briefly reviewed it then decided to put it back on the air “We had some complaints from viewers that it was in poor taste” said WTSP program director Larry Caza-va"We have a strict advertising policy and we pass over hundreds of ads every year We have an image to maintain” The commercial was one of two controversial advertisements Behr did for Allied Discount Tires that began airing on Florida TV stations last week In the other commercial Behr told viewers about the difficulties of removing lug nuts that have been set in place by air drivers and said that at Allied Discount “we torque your nuts by hand” and suggested that if the nuts aren’t put in right “they’re liable to fall off” That commercial was "voluntarily” withdrawn Hanin said Monday “It was too strong" Hanin said "We had some complaints so we withdrew it” ” But Hanin said he saw nothing wrong with the commercial “Every other station m Central Florida is airing the advertisement about the 80000 tires including Channel 8 in Tampa” he said "I think those two stations are overreacting They are censoring my advertisements We haven’t had any complaints from customers “I have some friends who are very religious and they think the commercial about the 80000 tires is funny” he said TAMPA n “sell-or-die- ments in the operation of Soviet sub- Star Wars related work in missile demarines making them more

Randolph E Schmid Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON — The nation’s fertility rate fell to a new low last year with fewer that 65 births recorded per 1000 women of childbearing age the Census Bureau reported Tuesday The 1986 general fertility rate was 649 meaning there were 64 9 live births for every 1000 women age 15 to 44 Fertility “seems relatively stable now at a low level The Baby Boom is over and there is no particular reason to expect in the near future a turnup” said Donald E Starsmic chief of the Population Estimates Branch at the bureau “People are concerned with the quality of life and if they have to choose between having more children and maintaining the life they have experienced I expect they will go towards quality of life” Starsinic said in a telephone interview "It’s harder maintaining a family now with both adults working Having more women in the labor force discourages having as many children as people did 20 or 30 years ago” he added Utah’s House Members Taxpayers ‘Friends’ By Virginia Robicheaux Tribune Washington Bureau All three 1986 WASHINGTON Utah House members are among 46 members of Congress who were named "Taxpayers’ Friends” by the National Taxpayers Union Tuesday but the state's two senators didn’t make the list The "friendly" label was based on 1986 votes involving federal spending cast by congressmen who were required to participate in 75 percent of the "weighted" votes cast Of a possible 100 points which no member of Congress attained 64 points or more were considered worthy of a “friend” Sen Jake Garn’s score of 57 (higher - d than that of 88 percent of his colleagues) and Sen Orrin Hatch’s 52 (higher than 75 percent of the other senators) placed them in the “fair” category as to reducing spending (though if Mr Hatch had been one numeral lower he would have been rated as “only average” meaning 34 to 51) Reps James Hansen and Howard scored 65 and 64 reNielson was That higher than over spectively 90 percent of their colleagues As for former Rep David Monson he tied Mr Hansen at 65 contrasted to the average House vote of only 38 — Sen William Proxmire who this year recaptured the chair manship of the Banking Housing and Urban Affairs Committee from Sen Gam after Democrats regained control of the Senate — had the highest score in Congress: 88 or 31 percentage points higher than Mr Garn’s 57 However Sen Edward M Kennewho replaced Sen Hatch dy as chairman of the Labor and Human Resources Committee scored 7 points less than Sen Hatch at 45 “average” in NTU’s view but not a “Big Spender” (33 or less) Barely edged out by Sen Proxmire — who headed the “Taxpayers Friend” list for the third straight year and the eighth time in 14 years — was Rep Hank Brown who scored 79 SALE STARTS WEDS JUNE 10th 9 AM
