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 some voters. The shift from other key players to signal a tough fight.
Governors and some congressmen said they wanted to wait for specifications 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 would be required to "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 difference and revere this trend of everything
Sen, Bob Dole, R-Kansas, interviewed on CBS.
was more cautious than other leading
officers and ought to wait and look at the
specifies," 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 disapproach to his plans he 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 be to be fought by the Federal Reserve.
Democratic and Republican leaders agreed that the prospect for tax increases this year will be positive.
The White house said public opinion was in favor in Rouen's favor, with more than 5,200 respondents.
House Speaker Thomas O'Neill 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.
Former Vice President Walter Mondale, interviewed on CBS, said he was angry about the government's crackdown.
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,
echoing Snelling's concerns over money, en-
rolls a bill to cut state taxes.
"It 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 mayors of this country know that the people in their states," Thompson told CBS.
Vice President George Bush was expected enthusiastically 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 law' Lawrence Mayor Marci Francisco, said yesterday.
The state of Kansas could handle the extra responsibilities the president wants to give states without major turmoil, Robert Harder, secretary of Social Rehabilitation Services, said.
Harder said he was hungry for more details of the law, but thought that the state government would bring it.
In the president's plan, the federal government would take over the Medicare program and

Richard Pryor Returns in 'Live on the Sunset Strip'
The main topic of his monologue, replete with his usual colorful language, was his burn accident, a horrifying experience he often made sound hilarious. An answer to him was "What Happened?" he said, "Everyone who knows me knows that I have cookies and milk before I go to bed. Well one night I mixed low fat milk with pasteurized and I dipped the cookie in, the s — blew up" Then, in a serious tone, he said, "I smoked free base [the mixture obtained when ether was added] from milk." A year it's the devil's ice. I should have known better because the first time I smoked it, I burnt up the bed. I was smoking so much the dealers said, Richard, we can't sell you no dope. When I found out I was a junkie, it scared the s — out of me. Then returning to work, I thought to use dope in the Olympics When I was on fire, I ran the 100 yard dash in 4.8 When you run down the street on fire, people don't give you no trouble, they move right out of the way. Except for one old drank who said, 'Hey buddy, give a light?' Pryor also recounted his condescension, brilliantly describing his first, very painful, sponge
Dressed in a red-orange suit, a black shirt buttoned to the neck (to conceal burn scars) and gold lamé shoes, Pryor admitted he was nervous on opening night, even though he had spent three months preparing material and had done a couple of test runs at the nearby Comedy Store.
COMEDIAN RICHARD PRYOR, visibly recovered from his near-fatal bath with death in late 1980, was outrageous as ever as he returned to show business, doing two concerts of stand-up routines and a film of "The Fighter" in 9/10, the results of which will be seen in the forthcoming Rastar film, Richard Pryor, live on the Sunset Strip. Due for March, 1982 release, Live will consist of all-new material written entirely by Pryor, who is also producing, and will be directed by Joe Layton, a three-time winner of Academy Awards for *Coming Home*, Bound for Glory, and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is the cinematographer. The film will be Pryor's 14th. His latest, Sir Crazy, in which he co-starred with Gene Wilder was Columbia Pictures top grosser for 1987. The movie be reintroduced this year in Columbia's Deep Trouble.
Pryor is truly a visual personage; we can't wait to see the film.
Science Fiction
RAY BRADBURY's long awaited sequel to his 1951 science fiction classic, *The Day the Earth Stood Still*, will have to be awaited even longer. Although it is still in development, there is no script or screenwriter (Bradbury just did the treatment) for a book called *Wicked This Way Covers*, is nearly finished shooting at Disney. Starring Jason Robbins as the father, Diane Ladd as Mrs. Nightshade and English actor Jonathon Pyrite as Mr. Dark this film is part of Disney's move toward more "mature" features. And more expensive stuff we've built, $2.5 million set ground town squares, marveled a Disney publicist
Disney has two other science fiction projects in the works as well. *Total Recall*, based on Philip K. Dick's *I Can G吃 It for You Wholesale*, has been written by Ronald Shusett and Dan O'Bannon, who collaborated on Alien. It concerns a Walt Murphy character whose dream of a life of adventure leads him to purchase the memory of a former intergalactic espionage agent who, it turns out, is (was) himself. Also featured are Tom Cruise and Tron, which will feature the most expensive use of computer animation in a full-length film to date. The stars are Bruce Boxleiner, David Warner and Jeff Bridges.

However, on Nov. 12, 200,000 people lined riverbanks and highways around the sprawling space center to see the shuttle make space history on its two-day journey.
Donald Clayton, shuttle test flight manager said that the flight ran superbly and looked considerably better than it did after flight one.
Two burned out rocket boosters were blamed for the Columbia's early re-entry.
The next important goal for the NASA space program, Engle said, would be a permanent orbiting space station. However, there is no current funding for that project was uncertain.
Engle said that NASA planned many more space shuttle flights.
"There are plans in the space program for there more vehicles such as Columbia, with its two engines."
"That means that Columbia has 98 more See ENGLE page five
