PAGE 1C - PLAINDEALER • WEDNESDAY. APRIL 22.1961 ------ PLAINDEALER Editorial Opinion Changing Mood * Chagrined by the hero-welcome bestowed on the 52 Iran hostages, some are now proposing that the nation do something to show its appreciation for Vietnam veterans. One columnist suggests we should make this year's Memorial day, or July 4, a day in recognition of the veterans of the Vietnam war. That, or something better, might be sident Reagan set the tone recently when he decorated, with the Medal of Honor, one of the genuine heroes of that war-in a public ceremony. He repeated his belief that the Vietnam war was a noble one, and again said that the soldiers won their war but were not permitted to finish the job. So, after bitter years, the public mood is changing and the veterans who were scorned and forgotten are finally being recognized as the heroes of their nation in the sixties and early seventies. The nation might well designate a special day in their memory and honor, in 1981. A Violent World An emotional campaign has been in progress for years to curb the sale of handguns and have those in existence registered. It is said that the sale of Saturday night specials, especially, makes crime too easy. Certainly so long as the television networks glamorize crime on commercial television, and violence of all kinds, it should not be made easy for anyone to walk to the nearest corner and buy a cheap handgun--perhaps while under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. But it should also be recognized that any criminal who plans a crime will be able to obtain a weapon. One suggestion is to make the purchase of Saturday night specials a slower process, and this will discourage some spontaneous crime. But the main remedy for excessive violence in the United States may be something beyond the control or registration of handguns-which has been available to Americans for generations-when the crime rate was relatively low. The main problem may be in the educational and entertainment in U.S. society. We have a cowboy and Indian THE CATCH... Aim/ Springfield Report »ritage. We have too long glamorized gunplay and the use of firearms, and killing, in films and on television. The young and impressionable are "brainwashed" into the world of violence by what they see on the screen and read and hear as they grow up. Reorienting our thinking and social and cultural values is the answer to rising crime, plus tough, mandatory punishment for anyone using a gun ,in the commission of a crime. Roll Call Report (Your Congressmen's Vote) Washington - Here's how area senators were recorded on major roll call votes Apr. 2-8. There were no House votes. MX Missile--The Senate killed, 79 for and 15 against, an attempt to delete $7 million in additional spending for the MX missile system, which involves shuttling rockets from site to site to safeguard them from direct hit by the enemy. A final government commitment to the MX awaits the outcome of ongoing research. The $7 million is for research to determine how well MX missiles can be hidden and studies of the missiles' resistance to thermal blast. The vote occurred during debate on a Pentagon authorization bill (S 694), later passed and sent to the House. Sen. John Tower, R-Tex., a supporter of killing the fund- cutting attempt, said to not spend the $7 million would "arrest modernization of entire intercontinental ballistic missile force just at a time when we are losing essential equivalence in strategic capability with the Soviet Union." Sen. Larry Pressler, R-S.D., said that deleting the $7 million would send "a clear signal to the Pentagon that many people are concerned about the validity of the MX..." Senators voting "yea" favored additional funding for MX research and development. Sens. Alan Dixon, D, and Charles Percy, R, voted "yea." U.S.S. New Jersey--By a vote of 69 for and 23 against, the Senate killed an attempt to prevent spending $89 million to begin reconstruction of the U.S.S. New Jersey, a WW II battleship mothballed at Bremerton, Wash. The Navy wants to add a modernized New Jersey to its fleet, at a projected cost of at least $326 million. The vote came during debate on S 694, a defense authorization bill passed and sent to the House. Sen. Strom Thurmond, R-S.C., who voted to spend the money, said "the Navy is desperately short of ships' and that "we are unwise if we do not go forward and build this ship at one-fourth to one-fifth the cost of a new one." Sen. Dale Bumpers, D-Ark., said a rebuilt New Jersey would be "an expensive, highly vulnerable vessel of questionable military utility which would simply siphon off very scarce Navy manpower from the newer and more effective ships which we are going to build..." Senators voting "yea" supported modernizing the U.S.S. New Jersey. Dixon and Percy voted "yea." Budget Cuts--The Senate passed, 89 for and 10 against, a measure (S Con Res 9) that is the first major legislative step toward the massive budget cuts urged by the Administration and many congressmen. The legislation, which was sent to the House, directs Senate committees to reduce fiscal 1982 spending by $36.9 billion. Actual cutting will occur when Congress takes up individual spending bills later in the year. Supporter Harry Byrd, I-Va., said: "Much of the credit for this first victory must go to President Reagan, who showed great courage in submitting a budget calling for even-handed sacrifice to get control of federal spenaing and combat double-digit inflation." Opponent Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., said that* among other inequities the bill increases defense spending by i$27 billion over fiscal 1981 while cutting programs that benefit "the health and morale of our citizenry, the soundness of our communities and educational institutions..." Senators voting "yea" supported the spending cut package. Dixon and Percy voted "yea." NEW CARE PACKAGE CARE usually delivers aid only to the poor overseas, but in May and throughout the year presentations of the new "CARE package" are planned at the White House and to governors and mayors across the country. Contributions may be sent to CARE. 208 S.

Respectfully, PETER M.JISTEN FUNERAL* HOME By Lynn Martin, 16th Congressional district The opening salvo in tha budget battle has sounded. LSSt night, in committee, the chairman's mark was adopted. That means the chairman of the Budget committee, supported by the Democratic members, passed the Democratic budget and the Reagan package suffered a defeat. But all is not as it may seem The budget proposed by the Democrats has some very real problems. Basically, it cuts the amount available for tax relief. Then it lowers the amount requested by the President for defense. It adds dollars for many social welfare programs and mass transit systems. It is. however, artfully drawn It cuts some areas of spending by saying all waste, fraud, and abuse will stop. Forgive a note of cynicism, but a Budget Resolution does not quite have the force of the Ten Commandments. Even they have not stopped all evil, and I expect the author of them has more power than even a Congressional committee chairman. The Budget Resolution had to cut tax relief so there would be more money for the spending side. It also has the effect of lowering the deficit, which at first seems quite attractive. Ultimately, though, the budget still has too much spending and some Democrats are quite wary. A group of southern Democrats finds the proposal unacceptable. They prefer the Reagan package. Last night at the Budget committee a compromise was presented. It is basically the President's package with some additional cuts so that the deficit is even smaller. It failed, of course. Twelve Republicans and one Democrat °^oted for it. But other Democrats, not on the committee, say they will support it on the floor. Other Democrats say that the budget passed by the committee doesn't spend enough and they wish to add more money on the floor. If they are successful, it will mean more fiscally con­ servative Democrats will move to the President 's side. Now. Congress should not be and is not. a rubber stamp. But, for those of us who believe that the Reagan Economic Recovery package should be sub­ stantially adopted, the ef­ forts to compromise with like-minded Democrats is appropriate. And with a measure of success in these efforts, the people of America can begin to see inflation lowered, the national defense made more secure, and the opportunity of advancement return. Toll Free Legislative Information Service +. A legislative information service with a toll-free phone number has been established by the Speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives, according to State Rep Jill Zwick (R-Dundee). Now available, any person who has a question about a bill in the legislature can call 1-800-252-8652 and get im­ mediate help Rep. Zwick encouraged all residents of the 33rd district to call the legislative in­ formation line to find out the status of a bill, the names of lawmakers sponsoring a bill, or the vote of a represen­ tative or senator on a certain issue. The lawmaker said the service was established to improve public access to information about the General Assembly "The toll-free line will be especially useful for news reporters, students of state government, local govern­ ment officials, and businessmen who could be affected by the kinds of legislation he will be con­ sidering this year. It will be a valuable service to every person in the state who has a stake in legislation and cannot be in Springfield to watch the General Assembly's progress." Rep. Zwick said. Phone calls will be taken from 8:30 a m to 5 p.m. except on days when the legislature is in session, when hours will be extended to include scheduled session hours.

Donovan said that $799, million is being apportioned among the 476 state and local governments serving as prime sponsors under the Comprehensive Em­ ployment and Training Act (CETA). An additional $14 million will be available for jobs for native American youth from tribes and reservations. "This summer jobs program represents a sound investment in the disad­ vantaged' youth of our nation,*' Secretary Donovan said. "By providing them with useful summer job ex­ periences," Donovan added, "we help these young men and womeri prepare themselves for productive adult lives. "President Reagan, in his budget message, described thesummerjobs program as one part ofthe nation's safety net for the truly needy." The secretary said .the number of Jobs set aside for disadvantaged youth this summer would total ̂ ap­ proximately 1.6 million to 1.8 million through a variety of sources, including the federal government's own supimer aides hiring program, the National Alliance of Business, and the programs of community based organizations, all aided by the United States Employment Service and its 2,560 local Job Service of­ fices. This is the sixteenth year of the program. It has served more than 10 million youth. Under SYEP, youth get experience in a variety of job settings. These include X- ray, laboratory, medical, and dental assistants; library, teacher, museum and legal aides; main­ tenance helpers; lifeguards; clerk-typists; junior coaches and counselors; and trainee positions in such skills as sheetmetal shaping, boiler- room operation and warehousing. -- PLAINDEALER ^ Letter to the Editor Public Pulse (Th« Floin4«oi«r invitRi th« public to u»« tht« column ei on of thoir viowt On tubiocts of fonorol intorott in our community Our only roquott it tho* tho writer* give stgnoturo full oddrott ond phono number Wo oik too that ono individual not writo on tho tome i«bje<t mora than owe o month Wo roaonro tho right to dototo any motoriol which wo considor liboWua or in obioctionoMo tooto • ON SPRAYING "Editor: "In another newspaper it was mentioned that, "In­ dividual petitions by con­ cerned property owners in the Lakeland Park and Fox Ridge areas have begun in an attempt to put a hold on the city's spring mosquito spraying program.
