Teamsters endorse Reagan
By United Press International
COLUMBUS, Ohio — The executive board of the 1.9 million-member Teamsters union, largest in the nation, voted yesterday to endorse President Reagan for re-election.
Jackie Presser, president of the International Brotherhood of Teams, told Vice President George Bush as and Bush was joined by the union's 20-member executive board that the union had made the endorsement.
"Our executive board this afternoon went on record to announce that it has endorsed Ronald Reagan for president and George Bush for vice president," Presser said.
THE TEAMSTERS ENDORSED the Reagan-Bush ticket in 1980 and regularly has supported Republican
presidential candidates.
Iresser said the executive committee endorsement followed the wishes of the union membership across the country.
across the board.
The vice president told Presser that the endorsement meant a great deal and that the GOP ticket would work hard to earn the confidence of these members.
PRESSER GAVE REPORTERS at the convention yesterday afternoon the results of a union poll on whom to endorse were under lock and key. But after a closed meeting, he hinted strongly that the union wished Reagan and George W. Bush having the encircled areas improved under them "that's what we're interested in."
Bush was sure enough of the outcome to prepare an acceptance speech that said, "The president and 1, of course, are very pleased that
you're endorsing us again this year.
For the president and myself, I say thank you for putting your faith in us."
In his prepared speech, Bush praised the administration's economic policy and chided Democratic presidential nominee Walter Mondale as a weak negotiator who blamed the United States for the Soviet walkout on arms control talks.
"OUR OPONENTS TALK about 'godwalt' weapons," Bush said. "They talk as if peace and weakness mean the same thing." Walter Monroe, an arms control envoy that he do almost anything to get one.
"When you go to the bargaining table, you don't give up cost of living benefits, your paid vacations and your care and care, and say, let's negotiate."
MOSCOW — President Konstantin Cherrenken was absent yesterday from the closing ceremony of Moscow's Friendship-84 games amid rumors he was ailing and had been in the hospital earlier this month.

Soviet leader might be ailing Chernenko misses ceremony
Though there was no evidence the 72-year-old Soviet leader had been scheduled to attend the closing ceremony for athletes affected by the Soviet-led Olympic boycott, Western observers had speculated he might make an appearance to quell rumors about his health.
Chernenko was last seen in public July 13 when he met in Moscow with
U. N. Secretary General Javier Perez de Cuellar. Two days later, Tass announced the Soviet leader had gone on vacation.
CHERENKO HABITUALLY
TAKES a six-week summer holiday
and had not been expected to return
to public view until early September.
Rumors have been circulating around Moscow, however, that Cherenko left his Black Sea retreat in early August for treatment of an unadisclosed heart ailment at a Moscow hospital.
Two other unconfirmed reports said Cherenko had been seen in a wheelchair and that he had caught pneumonia.
Western diplomats said the fact
that Cherenko, unlike his predecessors, had not met with visiting leaders or kept a high photographic profile on vacation were possible signs that he was ill.
A SERIES OF STATEMENTS attributed to Chernenko and transmitted by the official media were also strikingly similar to announcements published in the name of the late President Yuri Andropov when he was ill and close to death.
Diplomats said, however, rumors about a Soviet leader's health have always surfaced when he has been absent for any length of time in a country where the details of the leadership's private lives are considered a state secret.

Ward Thompson, owner of the Yellow Cab Co. recently reported the Douglas County Council on Aging and Cottonwood Inc is request for a federal grant to purchase two buses which would be used to meet some local people's transportation needs.

people his business.
According to the JournalWorld's August 4th issue, Planning Director Price Banke described Mr. Thompson's letter to the Department of Transportation as 'objecting to the use of grant funds for a service that he (Mr. Thompson) says his company can provide'. In June, says the Journal World "an attorney representing Mr. Thompson wrote again urging that no funds be provided until a decision is made about the possibility of Thompson providing the service and being reimbursed with the grant funds".
Here is Mr. Thompson's version of what transpired at an August 3rd meeting which he and representatives of the Council on Aging, Cottonwood and the Department of Transportation planning staff attended.

When Mr. Thompson claims that public funds will be used to 'compete' with his business, he ignores the fact that the request for new buses of the Council on Aging and Cottonwood stems from a shared desire to keep providing their respective beneficiaries with financially bearable transportation.
Because a private enterprise is a privately owned entity designed to realize a profit, it fundamentally differs from a public enterprise whose activities are conceived and funded by a governmental unit. Let's hope Mr. Thompson soon recognizes that the Council on Aging and Cottonwood are public enterprises created to serve—not compete—so these organizations can acquire the vehicles they need to continue achieving a worthy public purpose.
Basically, we talked about private enterprise providing the transportation services. I don't think it is fair to use tax dollars to compete with me.
