Carter defends tax-cut proposal
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Jimmy Carter, faced with opposition from within his own party, pleaded again yesterday for the passage of his proposed $22 billion tax reduction. He said that failure to do so would cost each U.S. family $600 and would swell unemployment rolls by one million more people.
Carter insisted that his proposed reduction for the new fiscal year beginning Oct. 1 would not fuel inflation, which is expected to be due to microcrates, who are now seeking a smaller cut.
- Delivery an emotional defense of his proposals for revining the laws governing gun ownership
- In a nationally televised press conference Carter also:
- **Rejected** Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev's offer to foreign production of a Russian neutron bomb if the United States also would do so.
- Repeated his insistence that Congress approve the package sale of U.S. warplanes to Egypt and Saudi Arabia as well as to Israel.
The sale has been opposed by some who fear that the Saudis would use the U.S. supplied F-15 jettwiffs in any offensive against Israel.
Carter said, "I am completely convinced that the Sauds want the planes to protect their own security."
- Said he had found dealing with the federal bureaucracy worse than he had anticipated before taking office. He called for prompt congressional action on his
legislation intended to overhaul the civil service system.
Carter said he had no intention of scaling or delaying the effect of his proposed tax rate.
"The last quarter's results in the growth in our national product showed some leveling off," Carter said. "It needs to be kept strong and vigorous."
Although Carter used the $23 billion figure when referring to his proposed tax reduction, the Treasury Department has revised its estimate of the net tax reduction, saying it would be a little less than $24 billion instead of $23 billion.
Middle East plane sale criticized
WASHINGTON (UPI)—President Jimmy Carter's insistence on use a package Arabelai plane sale yesterday drew warnings that the $8.8 billion sale would not pass once.
Sen. Jacob Javits, R-N.Y., Sen. John Chatee, R-L.I., and Sen. Charles Mathias, R.M.; said at a press conference yesterday Carter was risking defeat if he insisted upon submitting a package sale of sophisticated kits to Israel, Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
"I think the president is inviting a resolution of disapproval if he submits that as a package," Mathias said. "Coming as it does, it's not easy." East neolatics, it is extremely ill-timed.
"It seems unlikely to me that the package would survive, as of this moment."
THE ADMINISTRATION had planned to
submit the $4.8 billion plane sale to Congress today as a package. The sale of 200 planes would be approved automatically unless it is sold in place or the Senate within 30 legislative days.
Cyrus Vance, secretary of state, is expected to meet with key senators on the issue.
Javits said that he was uncertain whether an acceptable compromise could be achieved and that more time was needed to consider the impact of the sale.
Sens. Henry Jackson, D-Wash., Sam Num, D-Ga., and Daniel Moynihan, D-N-Y, made public a letter in which they told reporters that the government's package to Congress for a few months.
"We recognize the Israeli objections," Chafee said. "But members also feel that Saudi Arabia has been a good friend of the Palestinians and it's become very difficult for lots of people."
The letter said the delay would provide additional time and incentives for a company to develop its new technology.
Librarians fight censorship of Nazi exhibit
The drafter of a letter signed by 90 library employees that protested the cancellation of a Nazi exhibit said yesterday that she did so out of fear that the University of Kansas' action would set an "unfortunate precedent."
BURNETTE SAID she hoped the exhibit, which was canceled a few hours before it was scheduled to open Thursday, would be rescheduled.
speaker of the House Thomas "Tip" O'Neill said there were not enough affirmative votes for the bill to pass the House. However, Rep. Clement Zablocki, D-Wis., chairman of the House committee was expected to vote on the committee's vote would be close and if it were held today, Carter would win by one vote.
The drafter of the letter, Michaelyn Burnette, assistant documents librarian, sent the letter Monday afternoon to Chan-kee Mulligan and Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor.
Burnette said that she was worried other exhibits might be censored by the University and that it was a librarian's inability to protest any form of censorship.
Jim Ranz, dean of libraries, said he also sent a letter to Shankel protesting the
The American Library Association's bill of rights states, "Censorship should be challenged by libraries in the maintenance of information and enlightenment."
He said the action was an infringement of the library's obligations to provide differing views.

Morningstar- Watch them shine.
And "Morningstar" is the name of their debut album, full of all the shine of one morningstar and all the power of the other.
But now there's a new kind of Morningstar; a quintet of talented musicians who've perfected their craft in the rock & roll furnaces of the Midwest.
Morningstar: It's a popular name for the sunrise brightness of the planet Venus. And a slightly ironic nickname for that medieval heavy-metal instrument called the mace.
"Morningstar." Just rising on Columbia Records and Tapes.
