Federal. state leaders react to Reagan speech
WASHINGTON—President Reagan's plan for federal-state swap drew quick applause from Republican leaders and harsh criticism from other party members. The decision from other key players to signal a tough fight.
Governers and some congressmen said they wanted to wait for specifiers 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 a greater role in the state and also wanted a formula to correct financial "injustices" among various states.
The president's proposed program came under
sharp fire yesterday from the Black Leadership

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 in 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 in this trend of everything gone to Washington."
Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kansas, interviewed on CBS.
was more cautious than other leading Republicans. "We 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 Witteween, the former president of the International Monetary Fund, called Reagan's State of the Union address a disaparction from his recession and his plans could prolonge 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.

House Speaker Thomas O'Neill said that early public reaction to Reagan's program—about 100 telegrams and maligrames—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
sensitive to the party favor, with more than
3.200 responses received.
Former Vice President Walter Mondale, interested on top of the committee about the efforts of the administration.
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.
"It is time to give us our money back. It is time to give us our power and authority back and it is time to let the governors and the ministers of this country trust in the people in their states," Thompson told CBS.
Vice President George Bush was expected enthusiastic about Reagan's proposals.
City budget future uncertain
Appealing 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 Marci Francisco,

The state of Kansas could handle the extra responsibilities the president wants to give states without major turnover, Robert Harder, director of Social Rehabilitation Services, said yesterday.
Harder said he was hungry for more details of the plan, but thought that the state government should have made it clear.

But no one was sure which programs might be cut. Francisco said, "You're talking about a 10-year program and I'm not sure how much he Reagan will have to over it. All he'd done is talked."
Francisco said that the problems and the wealth of the nation could be better shared on a

At Maxell, we've developed a binding process that helps to prevent this. When oxide particles are bound onto our tape, they stay put. And so does your music.
What can happen is, the oxide particles that are bound onto tape loosen and fall off,taking some of your music with them.
If your old favorites don't sound as good as they used to, the problem could be your recording tape.
Some tapes show their age more than others. And when a tape ages prematurely, the music on it does too.
So even after a Maxell recording is 500 plays old, you'll swear it's not a play over five.
