Auto plant welcomes Reagan
By LORI DODGE Staff Reporter
CLAYCOMO, Mo. — Autoworker Leroy Gray was just eating another lunch yesterday in the plant's cafeteria when President Reagan set a tray down next to him and started talking about "regular stuff."
Gray spends his weekdays driving a fork lift at the Ford Kansas City Assembly Plant. He and hundreds of other plant employees work all day, and 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 Mondale hats and buttons earlier that morning. But many playmores worked the day before, their equipment for work, they were thrilled out of the opportunity to see and possibly shake or shake hands with the president.

"Everybody's really more excited," said Gary Duganeg, 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 Missouri Democratic caucuses as evidence that 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 said. "He's got a way of talking without being shy."
Charles Hazlett, who works installing springs on trucks, said he thought some of the workers had been rude by wearing Mondale hats.
"I think it's just neat to get to see the

Reagan lauds recovery
CLAYCOMO, 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 an improving economy and lauded his administration's economic program for guiding the recovery
people," he told a group of workers squeezed between huge assembly lines.
Reagan pointed to increased factory orders, housing starts, and retail and auto spending.
"All of us, working together and ignoring the gloomierers and pandits 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?"
"In this place, in one of our country's basic industries, we can see where America's economic future is."

House OKs deficit bill 318-97
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."
Rep. Henson Moore, R-LA, said that he had been in Congress for 10 years and "this is the first time a governor has ever done that."
By United Press International
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."
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 Restenkowski 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-earn" package. It includes

Chernenko gains last
By United Press International
MOSCOW — The Soviet Parliament elected Konstantin Cherenko to the presidency yesterday, giving him the top three posts in the Kremlin hierarchy with unprecedented speed at a time of growing superpower rivalry.
Chernenko
Chernenko said in his acceptance speech that Soviet foreign policy demanded "constant activity, firmness, consistency in the search for information," and guarded," 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.
Chernenko'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 suspension of nuclear arms talks.
Cherienko, 72, now holds the three titles held by his late predecessors, Yuri Andropov and Lonid Brezhnyi — President, General Secretary of the Defense Council, which controls the military.

Gay and Lesbian Services of Kansas expected the Student Senate Finance Committee to substantially reduce its budget request, the group said. The group never expected to be cut off completely.

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.

'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. Glirchist explained the committee's denial by saying that GLSOK could support it with the revenue it generated from its dances.

I just finished the article on two Walkers' tek from Alaska to Mexico at 8:30 am in the blank security of a tour-walled office. I've got the travelling fever once again Having just returned from a 1700 km tour across Europe this summer, I'm especially interested in the photographs and tail tales of the Walker Brathay, showing any of the possibility of his show, coming to the University of North Carolina? Could it be attained?
Three cheers times three for the talents of Laursen and Walkers two!

While reading your fine article on photographer John Zimmerman in the Fall/Winter issue of Brooke Magazine I was struck by the beauty of the photography of the diver which appeared on page 10. I would very much like a poster print of this photograph and since it was no way to contact Mr Zimmerman directly I would greatly appreciate any help you could give me concerning my request
We're sorry to say that Mr. Zimmerman informs us there is no poster available. We're happy to say, however, that you have terrific刻 in photographs.
Several readers requested more information about this photograph — but unfortunately we could learn the name of the photographer. Tracy Wauttt and the approximate year (1981 or 1982) it was taken. There is no pointer. Sorry.
I was thumbling at **A** book for Fall 1983, noticed the picture in the lower right hand corner. I couldn't help but notice the picture of the leopard
with its paw around a mound. I have two questions about it. First what is the situation of the picture, why is the leopard holding on to the tree, is there some way for me to get a print of this for a 'nester?
