Reagan makes misstatements
By United Press International
WASHINGTON-President Reagan made "several apparent misstatements" in claiming that unemployment was rising before he took office and that total employment has risen during his term, the chairman of the House Budget Committee said yesterday.
"In the belief that President Reagan would not want the truth misrepresented, it is important to point out several apparent misstatements in today's press conference," Rep. James Jones, D-Dokla., said in a statement released by the committee.
"First, President Reagan said the rise in unemployment was a continuation of a trend that began before he took office." Jones said.
Actually, he said, unemployment was 7.6 percent in July 1980, and "by January 1981, when Mr. Reagan took office, unemployment had declined to 7.4 percent."
"It continued to decline until it reached 7 percent in July 1981," he said. "Now, in the second half of the decade, the last year, it has jumped to 8.9 percent."
Jones also disputed Reagan's claim that total employment has risen since he took office.
"In July 1980, employment was 96,999,000," Jones said. "By January 1981, employment had climbed to 97,896,000. It continued upward to 99,235,000 in May 1981. Employment has since declined to 97,188,000, two million below the 1981 peak and half a million below the level when Mr. Reagan assumed the presidency."
Reagan defends policies, assails press
By United Press International
WASHINGTON—In his first news conference of the year yesterday, President Reagan spoke sharply against discrimination and news leaks, but strongly in favor of bolstering America's defense program
"The civil rights of the American must be enforced at the point of bayonet if necessary," he said. "I oppose abomination with every fiber of my heart."
Reagan said that his decision early last week to grant tax exemptions to private schools that discriminate against minority was a question of policy, not policy.
THE PURPOSE of the decision, he said, was to take the Internal Revenue Service, which denied tax exemptions in schools, out of national policy making.

Fleming said Reagan's proposed legislation could do more harm than good because a number of members of Congress would like to alter the Civil Rights Act.
"We're engaged in rebuilding something that was allowed to deteriorate very badly over recent years," Reagan said.
It was the first time the President was asked specifically whether U.S. weapons now being produced may eventually be used or if they are designed solely to deter Soviet aggression and encourage negotiations.

U. S. Constitution, "the President should direct the Internal Revenue Service to exercise its ample authority to discipline an officer that discriminate on the basis of race.
"There are members of Congress perfectly willing to try to approach the repeal of the Civil Rights Act through the back door. They are nibbling away a little bit here, a little bit there," Fleming said.
Reagan also criticized the press by saying the initial action that affirmed tax exemptions for schools that discriminate was erroneously interpreted by the press and made to appear as an administration policy.
"We are way behind where we should be now. Our economic problems regarding budgets and all would be minimal today if we were simply building a defense establishment that had been properly maintained," he said.
REAGAN DEALT another blow to the press at yesterday's news conference when he again affirmed his intent to crack down on government news leaks to the press. Reagan stressed that his plans for silencing the
After five days of protest from black leaders, political figures and both Republicans and Democrats, Reagan tossed the discrimination problem to Congress by requesting specific exemptions to deny tax exemptions to such schools.

"We have prevented the IRS from setting national social policy all by itself." Reagan said. "The IRS actually formed a social law and was enforcing it. There was no basis in law for what they were doing."
But Reagan's request for the tax exempt legislation has infuriated civil rights leaders.
Following Reagan's news conference, the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights criticized Reagan's move, saying that the proposed legislation was not needed and would even work to undercut TITLE VI of the 1984 Roe Act, which forbids discrimination in any federally assisted program.
THE CIVIL RIGHTS commission's chairman Armour Fleming said in accord with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, the Internal Revenue code and the
