Gray spends his weekdays driving a fork lift at the Ford Kansas City Assembly Plant. He and hundreds of other plant employees take a break after lunch to catch a glimpse of the president. Although many of the union employees sported Mondale hats, the atmosphere around the plant was filled with excitement over Reagan's visit there. MEMBERS OF THE United Auto Workers union, which has cast its support for Democratic presidential candidate Walter F. Mondale, distributed Monday hats and buttons earlier that morning. But many Claycomo workers said that, despite their support for the party, they were thrilled about the opportunity to be able to speak or shake hands with the president. Robert B. Waddill/KANSAN "Everybody's really more excited," said Gary Dungean, a production worker. "Hell, when's the last time you got to see the president? "I'm not saying who I'd vote for; I'm just excited to see him." he said. The United Auto Workers Local 249, which represents the plant's 4,500 workers, has criticized Reagan's visit as part of a political campaign. And the UAW has pointed to next week's convention. Democrats accuse Reagan's real reason for visiting the plant, which is north of Kansas City, Mo. BUT THE WHITE HOUSE labeled Reagan's visit non political. That means that the trip's costs were not paid for by Reagan's re-election campaign but by taxpayers. Jack Critchfield, an assembly line worker, said that Reagan probably would pull in more votes from the plant's workers than most people would think. "he's got a way about him." Critchfield he "he's got a way of talking without bemiss himself." Charles Hazlett, who works installing springs on trucks, said he thought some of the workers had been rude by wearing Mondale hats.

Reagan lauds recovery By LORI DODGE Staff Reporter CLAYCOY, Mo. — President Reagan told Ford autoworkers yesterday that "the sun is shining" again on a strong economy and the U.S. automobile industry. In his address to workers at the Ford Kansas City Assembly Plant north of Kansas City. Mo, Reagan cited the auto industry's upswing as an indication of the improving economy and lauded his administration's economic program for guiding the recovery. "In this place, in one of our country's basic industries, we can see where America's industrial heart is." people," he told a group of workers squeezed between huge assembly lines. Reagan pointed to increased factory orders, housing startups and retail and auto industries. "All of us, working together and ignoring the gloormriers and punits who said it couldn't be done, have hung tough. Today, as we see the auto industry and the economy humming with activity, aren't we glad we did?" Reag House OKs deficit bill 318-97 Bipartisan supporters say $49 billion plan is 'an ounce of faith' By United Press International The bill passed 318-97, with 223 Democrats and 26 Republicans voting yes, and 31 Democrats and 14 Republicans voting no. WASHINGTON — The House yesterday approved a $49 billion tax bill favored by Democrats, Republicans and the president, and supporters predicted that the deficit-cutting measure would give "an ounce of faith to a doubting nation." Moore said that in the past he always "had found a way to vote against taxes." But he said, this vote for deficit-reduction is "a time for statesmen, not politicians." Rep. Hennon Moore, R-LA, said that he had been told that Conn. will have voters this is the first tax vote they will have voted for. THERE WAS MINOR DISSENT on a provision in the bill that puts a cap on the number of tax-exempt industrial development bonds that can be issued by states. Those bonds finance such governmental projects as low-income housing, stadiums, airports, and industrial parks. The cap is equal to the population of the state multiplied by $150. Opening House debate on the bill, Ways and Means Committee chairman Dian Rostenkowski said revenue that would be raised by the three-year bill was modest compared with the highly spiraling deficit, expected to rise by about $700 billion over the same period. But, he said, it shows that "Congress is prepared to move against the deficit." Both Democrats and Republicans spoke in support of the bill, which also has the backing of President Reagan. The bill is an essential part of the Democrats' deficit-cutting plan. The bill is the "pay" part of the House-approved "pay-as-you-go" budget that includes payments for the plan would be used to finance the 9.5 percent investment in military and some social spending called for in Chernenko gains last Bv United Press International Chernenko MOSCOW — The Soviet Parliament elected Konstantin Chernenko to the presidency yesterday, giving him the top three posts in the country. He is also the speed at a time of growing superpower rivalry. Chernenko said in his acceptance speech that Soviet foreign policy demanded "constant activity, firmness, consistency in the search for a solution," according to the official news agency, Tass. "It is directed at overcoming international tension, ensuring security, our state interests in the world arena and upholding peace throughout the world," he said. Chenkerno's election comes at a time of mounting East-West tension over such issues as Soviet charges of harassment of its Olympic athletes and the attacks on Kates and the suspension of nuclear arms talks. Chernienko, 72, now holds the three titles held by his late predecessors, Yuri Andropov and Brezhnev, the General Secretary of the Communist Party and the Defense Council, which controls the military. GLSOK did not expect bu By MARY SEXTON Staff Reporter Gay and Lesbian Services of Kansas expected the Student Senate Finance Committee to substantially reduce its budget request, the group's predecessor, to the group he cut to be cut off completely. "We expected to be cut back down to 'token funding,'" she said in phone." said Rui Lai. "GLASKO phone." Lichtwardt said that GLSOK had not yet decided how to respond to the committee's recommendation. "We're going to wait to see what the Senate does." she said. Jon Gilchrist, Finance Committee chairman, said that the committee denied money to GLSOK because the group was able to generate its own funds. Carla Vogel, student body president, said that the recommendation by the committee would have to be approved by the Senate, which would not look at appropriations bills until next week. Carla Vogel, student body president 'If I felt the need to veto it, I would.' The committee denied funds to GLSOK after reviewing the group's current budget, Gilchrist said, which showed that it would carry money over into the fiscal year 1985. But Vogel said that she would veto an appropriations bill that did not contain funds for GLSOK. The committee voted 8-3 to deny funds to the organization. Gilchrist explained the committee denial by saying that GLSOR could support itself with the revenue it generated from its dances. "If I felt the need to veto it, I would." she said. "have faith that the Senate will do what's right." During preliminary budget hearings, GOK's initial request for $2,869.73 was cut to $605. HI instr hush GL.S.
