J > - Roll Call: Anti-crime package is approved Hone's how im members of Congress were recorded on major roll call votes Sept. 20-26. HOUSE CRIME-By a vote of 243 for apd 166 against, the House approved a package of anti-crime bills Hie package was attached (HJ Res648) that will fund m< year beginning Oct. 1. The Senate, is needed because regular appropriations bills si by the Administration, a stop-gap appropriations measure government operations in the fiscal gap bill, which was sent to the ess has enacted only four of 13 e January, 1983. The federal anti-crime legislation will not directly affect state courts, where most criminals are prosecuted. In paurt, the package legalizes pre-trial detention of dangerous defendants, toughens sentencing and parole, narrows the insanity defense and makes it easier to prosecute dangerous juveniles as adults. But, it excludes President Reagan's proposal to reinstate the death penalty. Members voting yes supported the package. Illinois-Philip Crane, R-12, voted yes. CHILD ABUSE-The House voted, 369 for and 37 against, to in­ crease federal spending by $50 million in FY 1985 for the purpose of combatting child abuse. Supporter George Miller, D-Calif., said "child abuse in day-care centers is a clear and present horror affecting an increasing number of children." ~- No opponent spoke against the measure. Members voting no were opposed to the $50 million outlay to combat child abuse. Illinois-Philip Crane, R-12, voted no. CUT-By a vote of 273 for and 134 against, the House inflicted a two percent across-the-board cut in FY 1985 foreign aid. This reduced military and economic aid by $280 million. The amendment was opposed by President Reagan. Aid to Egypt and Israel, which accounts for one-third of bilateral U.S. aid, was exempted from the bill. Sponsor Hank Brown, R-Colo., said foreign aid would be hiked by nearly $1.5 billion over 1984 levels. He called that wrong in view of the government's "enormous deficits and our efforts to control spending on the domestic side." Opponent Jack Kemp, R-N.Y., said "it may be good politics to cut foreign aid, but is it good national security policy?" Members voting yes favored cutting foreign aid. Illinois-Philip Crane, R-12, voted yes. SENATE TV-By a vote of 37 for and 44 against, the Senate failed to silence a filibuster against permitting live television and radio coverage of Senate floor activity. This killed any chance of enacting the proposal this year. The House permits electronic coverage of its floor proceedings. Gavel- to-gavel television coverage of the House reaches 17 million homes nationwide via cable television. Supporter Alan Cranston, D-Calif., said "democratic government is not an exclusive, arcane rite to be kept accessible only to a select few." Opponent Mack Mattingly, R-Ga., said, "I do not think the public suffers greatly from a lack of information about the happenings in this chamber." Senators voting no were against live television and radio coverage of Senate floor action. Illinois - Alan Dixon, D, did not vote. Charles Percy, R, did not vote.

Hie Telephone Pioneers of America are will into a program organised to help raise funds for our Lady. In the past year, here in McHenry, we have been putting on a program for any interested organization.

Our Lady's need is great, as the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation's goal is $230 million. Telephone Pioneers will be continuing their efforts until the statue's centennial year in October of 1986 Keep the torch burning. John P. Zimny Telephone Pioneers McHenry Dear Editor: The purpose of this letter is to voice my strong objection to the placement of the proposed landfill experimental test plot on the Shamrock farm along Curran Road in Bull Valley. Any installation of this sort with it's related garbage truck traffic, shredding operations and potential for spilled^waste along the highways, ^mowing debris and odors during the filling cycle, followed by a two- year period during which methane gas will be flared to the atmosphere will seriously damage the serene beauty of the Winding Creek, Fox Ridge and Glacier Ridge areas, impact on our quality of life and reduce property values. There may be some members of the city council who prefer a landfill to a shopping center but if the citizens were consulted, I'm sure that a shopping center would win hands down. Thomas J. Stropoli Local effort lauded in Smith hearing Dear Editor: Several weeks ago you published a letter I had written regarding the upcoming parole hearing of Mark Smith. My sister, Jean Bianchi, had been one of his victims. I thank you for your attention to this matter and want you to know that parole was denied and thCfifexT hearing was set for August, 1987. The tremendous outpouring of mail and the appearance of McHenry County State's Attorney Theodore Floro were instrumental in helping the board reach its decision. Mr. Floro had done his homework and made a marvelous presentation to the board. The people of McHenry County are fortunate to have this man on their side. Thank you for your time. I am most appreciative of your help. Betty Portenlanger Chicago Your Legislators State Senator Jack Schaffer (R), 32nd. 56 N.
