Federal, state leaders react to Reagan speech
WASHINGTON-President Reagan's plan for federal-state swap drew quick applause from Republic leaders and harsh criticism from other leaders. The event from other key players to signal a tough fight.
Governors and some congressmen said they wanted to wait for specifies before backing Reagan's plan to transfer $47 billion in federal programs to states.
Vermont Gov. Richard Snelling, chairman of the National Governors Association, said yesterday that governors were unlikely to accept the president's plan unless they were given enough money to carry it out. He said governors should "become financial 'injustices'" among various states.
The president's proposed program came under
sharp fire yesterday from the Black Leadership Forum, which is made up of leaders of nearly all black colleges.
Reagan's message "demonstrated a shocking insensitivity to the needs and aspirations of black people, other minorities and the poor," the Rev. Joseph Lowery, president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, said on behalf of the group.
Republican leadership was more optimistic about Reagan's proposal.
"I think it’s worth the gamble," Howard Baker, Senate Republican leader, said on NBC. "I think it’s the only way you can make a basic change." This is just this trend of everything going to Washington."
Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kansas, interviewed on CBS.
was more cautious than other leading officers ought to wait and look at the specifics, he said.
"We don't have the details. We have the concept. It sounds good."
Dole urged federal protection for food stamp recipients because some states "might reduce the program and deny some poor people their food."
Johannes Witevene, the former president of the International Monetary Fund, called Reagan's State of the Union address a disapointment of the United Nations' plans could prolong the recession by a year.
Wittevene said the president's "refusal to consider any increase in indirect taxes" meant the entire anti-inflation battle would have to be fought by the Federal Reserve.
Democratic and Republican leaders agreed that the prospect for tax increases this year will be relatively low.
House Speaker Thomas O'Neill said that early public reaction to Reagan's program—about 100 telegrams and mailgrams—was about 2-1 against the president, in contrast to the huge favorable response Reagan received when he outlined his economic program a year ago.
The White House said public opinion was running <sup>1</sup>-1 in Reagan's favor, with more than a third saying it favored him.
Former Vice President Walter Mendale, immediate friend of the speaker, said he was angry about the "unfettering" nature of his job.
Mondale said the deficit was not decreasing, as Reagan claimed, but was increasing.
Sen. Russell Long, D-La., said the president "did not come to grips" with the problems of high unemployment, high interest rates and high budget deficits.
Illinois Republican Gov. James Thompson, enchong holding's concerns over money, entangled in legal action against him.
"It's time to give us our money back. It's time to give us our power and authority back and it's time to let the governors and the navies of this country give us their power, the people in their states," Thompson told CBS.
Vice President George Bush was expected enthusiastic about Reagan's proposals.
City budget future uncertain
appearing to American values of family, hard work, rugged individualism and cooperation. Bush said critics of Reagan's proposal "don't believe that the power belongs to the people."

City officials may have to make budget decisions without knowing how much money the city has as a result of President Reagan's 'new federalism', 'Lawrence Mayor Marcel Franchet,
"We set our budget as a city a year ahead so if we don't know in July, we won't be able to plan a budget," she said. "I'm guessing we won't know
The state of Kansas could handle the extra responsibilities the president wants to give states without major support. Robert Harder, secretary of Social Rehabilitation Services, said
Harder said he was hungry for more details of the plan, but thought that the state government would not do so.
In the president's plan, the federal government would take over the Medicare program and the states would take over the food stamp and aid to families with dependent children programs.
director, said, "The public would end up paying either out of pay or welfare, I guess day care question."
But no one was sure which programs be a刃. Francisco said, "You're talking about a 10-year program and I'm not sure how much the Reagan will have over it. All he'd is talked."
Francisco said that the problems and the wealth of the nation could be better shared on a larger scale.

Realistic System Seven. The Biggest Sound in Little Stereo Systems!
Designed With Today's Lifestyle in Mind. Trim, functional and efficient, our remarkable System Seven fits in with modern, streamlined living. It's perfect anywhere space is at a premium and you want premium sound. The low-profile STA-7 receiver in its bold-looking jet-black metal case is just 3½-in. high! Yet it delivers a full 10 watts per channel, minimum rms into 8 ohms from 20-20,000 Hz, with no more than 0.4% total harmonic distortion. Our matching Minimus®-7 cast-aluminum two-way speaker systems are less than 8-inch high, and easily fit on a bookshelf.
Equalized for Deep Bass From Mini Speakers. Special "EO" circuitry tailors the amplifier's response for uniform energy output at all frequencies from Minimus-7 and other "mini" speakers. You'll be surprised at just how good the speakers sound! Here's what Stereo Review Magazine has to say about Minimus-7:
"The panel found its sense of openness, level of definition, reproduction of musical detail, and stereo imaging were all quite good . . . power handling above average . . . a good buy."
A switch lets you select equalized "System" output when using mini speakers, or "Flat" output for use with larger speakers.
Small Size Doesn't Mean Small Sound. Don't let the size of System Seven fool you. It has the features you'd expect to find in full-size, higher-priced, stereo components. We know! Because System Seven was engineered by Radio Shack, and is manufactured in one of our own 28 factories.
Advanced Circuit Design. The FM tuner has an FET (Field Effect Transistor) for extra-high sensitivity and low noise so you can hear even weaker, more distant stations clearly. A PLL (phase-locked loop) in the FM multiplex circuit assures you of full channel separation for exceptional stereo imagery. Another important feature is a linear power IC that provides high-gain and low-distortion for clean, clear sound with plenty of dynamic punch.
Operating Base. Smooth, weighted flywheel tuning, and an illuminated signal-strength meter make station selection easy. Deterred bass and treble controls let you adjust the music the
way you like, and a loudness button gives you full-range sound even at low listening levels.
The Heart of a Fine Music System. A magnetic phono input lets you use the finest quality changers and turntables to play records through your system. There are input and output jacks for recording and playing tapes plus a button that gives you true off-the-tape monitoring when recording with a three-head deck. You can also add an equalizer or other sound processing accessory. An aux input allows you to play a second tape deck or TV sound through System Seven. Other features A and B speaker switching, headphone jack for private listening, AC convenience outlet.
Maximum Sound, Minimum Size and Price. Come in and try out System Seven for yourself. It's the result of over two years of development, plus our 61 years of experience in electronics. Covered by our limited warranty on both parts and labor, of course—two years for the receiver, five years for the speakers**. System Seven is just $249. You save $30.85 off our regular $279.85 "each" price!

The next important goal for the NASA space program, Engle said, would be a permanent orbiting space station. However, the future funding for that project was uncertain.
Engle said that NASA planned many more space shuttle flights.
