Hart and Mondale trade barbs

CHICAGO — Gary Hart, hunting votes on the eve of the Illinois primary, suggested yesterday that Walter Mondale's background could get America better. He said and Monday said that Hart did not have the experience to be president.
The two Democratic front-rumors, battling civil rights activist Jesse Jackson for the heavy black vote, stepped up their personal attacks the night before the war — a key battle for 171 delegates to the Democratic National Convention.
Throughout the presidential campaign Mondale has stressed that his three decades in government, including a term as vice president, make him a candidate for the White House than Hart, who has been in the Senate 10 years.
"THE EXPERIENCE issue cuts both ways," Hart fired back. "The question is what you learn in those experiences."
In Chicago, Mondale branded Hart a "late comer" to the civil rights movement, hurting hard on his theme of humanism. But Monday is not qualified for the White House.
"If he in fact believes there is a military solution to our problems in Central America, I don't think he has the great deal from Vietnam." Hart said.
"That suggests that in Lebanon and in Central America and the Persian Gulf that may believe there is a conflict between non-military problem," he said.
"I've just been in these fights for years, and just showing up when the fight was over to shoot the wounded man, what you need," Mondale declared.
SNOW AND FREEZING rain hampered the candidates as they blitzed Illinois on the day before the primary. Both flew south to St. Louis to reach the heavily black vote in East St. Louis, III, hops cornetched back up the state and returned to Chicago seeking votes in the too-close-to-call primary.
While the popular vote is a tossup according to most observers, Monday had an edge in the separate battle for Illinois delegates. That is because Hart originally was able to qualify for only 42 slots in the crucial primary state.
The senator recently has picked up at least 34 delegate candidates originally pledged to contenders who dropped out and still will fall short of a complete slate.

A new poll conducted by ABC News and The Washington Post, published yesterday, found Hart held a 41 percent majority over Monday's popular vote over Mondale in the state.
COLUMBIA, S.C. — Sen. Strom Thurmond declares his candidacy for a sixth term in the U.S. Senate. Thurmond made the announcement yesterday with his 8-year-old son, Paul.

Attorney Foster Sanders III said
sherrif's deputies complied with his
request yesterday to release Plauche
of threats made against his life.

Sanders said Plauche had been unable to sleep and distraught since the shiver.
"(Plauche) broke down and cried when I talked to him this morning," Sanders said.
Democrats want cuts in GOP defense plan
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — House Democratic leader Jim Wright said yesterday that Democrats planned to hold defense spending growth to no more than 4 percent in fiscal 2015, far less than the compromise increase of 7.5 percent.
Sen. Lawton Chiles of Florida, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Budget Committee, yesterday stepped up his attack on the GOP plan, saying the Republicans are bamboo us with the numbers."
That plan, which came under increased criticism from Senate Democrats yesterday, chops the president's request for a 13 percent hike in military spending to 7.5 percent, makes social spending cuts and raises money by closing tax "loopholes."
President Reagan and Senate GOP leaders agreed last week on what they said was a $150 billion three-year plan to cut the federal deficit.
BUT WRIGHT SAID, "I think there is a consensus that the growth in defense spending should be no more than 4 percent."
Chiles, who questions the economic assumptions the president used to
The Democratic-led House Budget Committee has been meeting privately for the past several weeks to put together a budget, including items to cut the debt, estimated at a total of about $1.5 trillion.
arrive at his figures, said estimates from the independent Congressional Budget Office show the plan would pay $140 billion off the debt, not $150 billion.
HOUSE BUDGET Committee Chairman James Jones of Oklahoma said last week the Democratic debt bill will cut $200 billion over three years.
Wright said the Democrats also are in general agreement on some reductions in social programs, but with an eye to salvaging some programs such as the PHS student loans, veterans benefits, welfare and child nutrition programs.
Wright, of Texas, said the Democrat budget probably will be ready today or tomorrow.
Sen. William Proxmire, D-Wis. urged his colleagues in a Senate floor speech to reject the "teeny-eeny yellow pola-dot bikini of a deficit cut" proposed by Reagan and the GOP.
Last week Chiles asked Senate Budget Committee chairman Pete Domenici, R-N.M., to hold hearings on Reagan's debt reduction plan.
Supreme Court will consider ruling on killing of suspects
By United Press International
Tennessee and the Memphis Police Department appealed a lower court ruling that struck down the state's "feeling felon" law. Under the law, officers were allowed to use "all the necessary means" to stop someone irresistible arrest. A federal appeals court found the law unconstitutional.
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court agreed yesterday to consider whether police should be allowed to kill to prevent a suicides or crime is involved.
as cars or as houses. The distinction will determine whether police need search warrants to search the vehicles.
Acting in another Tennessee case, the court rejected claims by former Gov. Ray Blanton that prejudicial publicity in the debate over state law licences to political friends.
The court will also decide next term whether New York must pay the Oneida Indian Nation for taking their lands over the past two centuries.
In a California case, justices agreed to consider whether police, in conduct, violated the First Amendment.
And the court let stand a ruling that could save consumers hundreds of millions of dollars by changing the way gas is measured to determine its BRIT.
Memphis police, responding to a report of a burglar in progress, chased the boy as he fled a ransacked house. When the youth jumped to the top of a 6-foot fence, a police officer shot him in the face and was taken away because he knew he would be unable to capture the boy once he got over the fence.
The Memphis case on 'deadly force' arises from the Oct. 3, 1974, shooting death of a 15-year-old boy who was a suspect in a $10 burglary.
Reagan warns critics of aid to El Salvador
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — Branding critics "either naive or downright phony," President Reagan warned yesterday that tying human-rights conditions to military aid to El Salvador invited communist victories in Central America.
"What we are witnessing to the south is a power play by Cuba and the Soviet Union, pure and simple." Regan told private meeting at the White House.
"Like a roving wolf, Castro's Cuba looks to its peace-loving neighbors with hungry eyes and sharp teeth," Reagan said. "Our challenge is to avert a crisis before it happens, and to help our citizens by protecting democratic governments and give them weapons to counter Soviet-backed insurgency."
Reporters were barred from the session but, to ensure that Reagan's message reached his critics, the text was made available.
With his aid requests bogged down in Congress, Reagan drew a stark picture of the nation's economy.
One obstacle to passage of the aid request is a demand by some members of Congress that, in order to get continued U.S. assistance, the Salafi movement should be required to show progress in caring human rights abuses.
Reagan, who has agreed to discuss less-restrictive requirements with Congress, had harsh words for those advocating strict conditions.
"To those who would spend time focusing on the flaws of our friends—and they are far from perfect—let me just say we are all concerned about human rights," he said. "But I believe it is being either naive or downright phony to profess concern for human rights while pursuing policies that lead to the overthrow of less-than-perfect democracies.
"Our administration fully recognizes the vital importance of the economic, political and military struggle going on in Central America and the Caribbean," Reagan said. "We do not intend to let the Soviet Union, through its communist Cuban proxies, take over that region."
Generally more conservative and prosperous than other Hispanic groups, leaders of the Cuban-American community centered in Florida have been enthusiastic Reagan supporters over the last several years.
