Reagan trip a mistake Aquino's brother warns
By United Press International
MANILA, Philippines — Opening a campaign aimed at toppling the Marcos regime, the brother of slain opposition leader Bengino Aquino who said that it would be dangerous for President Reagan to visit the Philippines.
The warning by Agapito "Butz" Aquino came as a White House advance team was arriving to start planning Reagan's visit, scheduled for November, as part of a five-nation Asian tour.
Aquino made the comment to reporters during a rally kicking off a nationwide passive resistance campaign ousting President Ferdinand Marcos.
HE SAID MANY Filipinos would visit Reagan's visit as a show of political support for Marcos, whom they hold at least indirectly responsible for his brother's assassination Aug. 21 at Manila International Airport.
"The people do suspect some kind of collusion between Reagan and Marcos," Aquino said after speaking to reporters, as the school auditorium in downtown Manila.
"It makes him an easy target. So it will be very dangerous for Reagan to attack."
But Aquino's death has fed opposition to the 18-year-old Marcos regime, with millions publicly mourning Aquino at memorials and funeral services.
The government said the man who killed Aquino was shot and killed immediately by security guards. They have identified him as Rolando Galman y Dawang, whom they called a "notorious" gun for hire.
OPPOSITION LEADERS said the passive resistance campaign would eventually involve strikes, refusals to pay taxes, mass demonstrations and boycots of elections and government-related businesses.

Richardson said he was not sure what contract changes would be discussed in the negotiations.
"The weather, PIK and high gas prices are hurting us, I can't dispute that. But, they want to negotiate contract changes," he said. "If they want to fight us, they'll have to open the contracts."
Cooperative Farm Chemicals Association has been one of the largest employers in Douglas County since the plant opened in 1954. Before the plant more than 300 people were employed there, producing nitrogen fertilizer.
Hoffman said that farmers were using less fertilizer because the farming economy was bad. FarmersCustomers of the co-op, he said.
THE FERTILIZER PLANT shut down its production line on Sept. 1, and is now selling its surplus inventory, Hoffman said. When that runs low, it might be a sign that the employees could come back to work, he said.
Richardson agrees, somewhat.

"We haven't had the normal amount of sales, so we don't need the normal amount of production," he said. "But, when the economy of the plant is stable again, the employees are eligible for recall."

In November, employees agreed to defer a 90-cent raise because of pending financial-problems with the company. Richardson said. Now all employees, from top wage earners to workers, have taken a pay cut. All people who have or have been placed in the labor pool are being paid $513 a month.
IN ADDITION TO the layoffs, of the approximate 240 workers remaining, 50 to 60 took 20 percent pay cuts, said the general plant manager of the co-own.
