The moon is in its last quarter. The morning stars are Venus and Mars. The evening stars are Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn. Those born on this date are under the sign of Leo. They include America's first professional architect, Charles Bullfinch, in 1763; aquatic actress Esther Williams In 1923 (age 62); actor Dust In Hoffman In 1937 (age 48); singer Connie Stevens in 1938 (age 47), and actor Keith Carradine in 1949 (age 36). On this date in history: In 1940, the German Luftwaffe began a series of daylight air raids on Britain. In 1945, two days after the atom bomb was dropped on Hiroshima and seven days before Toyko surrendered, the Soviet Union declared war on Japan. In 1968, Richard Nixon won the Republican nomination for president. He was elected in November, defeating Democrat Hubert Humphrey and Independent George Wallace. In 1974, facing expected impeachment over the Watergate coverup scan­ dal, President Nixon went on nationwide television and announced his resignation, the first American president to do so. Nixon left office the next day. In 1983, Guatemala's President Efrain Rios Montt, a born-again Christian, was ousted by Defense Minister Gen. Oscar Humberto Mejia Victores. In 1984, Nina Khrushchev, widow of the former Soviet premier NUdta Krushchev, died in Moscow at age 84. A thought for the day: German novelist Thomas Mann said, "Time cools, time clarifies. No mood can be maintained unaltered through the course of hours." Tax proposal criticized .20 81 71 By Kenneth Eskey " ̂ Howard News Service WASHINGTON - President Rea­ gan's proposal to reduce the maxi­ mum income tax rate to 35 percent appears to be crumbling under criti­ cism from lawmakers and lobbyists who say it tends to favor the rich. Rep. Dan Rostenkowski, chair­ man of the House Ways and Means Committee, promised a week ago that he will come up with a bill this fall that shifts more benefits to thp middle class. And the vice chairman of Pruden­ tial Insurance Co., Robert Winters, told reporters here Wednesday that a maximum rate higher than 35 percent may be preferable to elimi­ nating desirable tax breaks for ordi­ nary Americans. "The rich are doing very well. They don't need help," he said. Winters and other insurance exec­ utives are adamantly opposed to a section of Reagan's tax reform plan that would tax the cash value of life insurance policies and require workers to pay taxes on a portion of their company-paid group health in- urance coverage. would be better, Winters told irsr to have a higher tax rate and retain some of the socially de­ sirable deductions and exclusions now built into federal tax law. "Tax policy is a legitimate tool of social policy," he said. Winters said he believes that So­ cial Security recipients should be required to make some sacrifices, along with the rest of the country, in trying to reduce the string of $200- billion-year budget deficits. He said he "regrets" the presi­ dent's refusal to support Senate Re­ publicans, who wanted to postpone Social Security benefit increases for a year and impose a 15-a-bairel fee on imported oil. "All of us are going to have to pay higher taxes," he said. Winters' boss, Prudential Chair­ man Robert Beck, has suggested that Social Security recipients pay income taxes on all benefits beyond what they paid into the system in the form of payroll taxes. Under the Reagan reform plan, dozens of tax breaks would be modi­ fied or eliminated in return for low­ er basic rates. Instead of a tax System with 14 rates ranging from 11 to 50 percent, the Reagan plan would impose only three rates of 15, 25* and 35 percent. The 35 percent rate would apply to couples earning more than $70,000 a year and indi­ viduals more than 842,000. So much pressure is being applied to retain popular tax breaks, howev­ er, that >some adjustment in rates may be necessary Just to keep the plan from losing revenue. For example, the insurance indus­ try argues that taxing the internal cash buildup ofJife insurance poli­ cies, beginntagSwth newmiictfes, would discourage people f$m buy­ ing life insurance. "A product that's taxed before people get anything is going to be a very difficult product to sell," Win­ ters contends. Reagan's proposal to tax families on the first $25 a month of company- paid health insurance premiums is opposed by businessmen and labor unions, who say it could discourage companies from offering such bene­ fit plans.

NEW YORK - With baseball commissioner Peter Ueberroth play­ ing a dramatic role, major-league players and owners Wednesday reached a tentative settlement to end the day-old players' strike. In a two-paragraph statement, the Commissioner's office offered no details of the tentative deal but set a joint news conference for 5 p.m. EDT at a Manhattan hotel. Strike could cost billions NEW YORK - The 1-day strike by major league baseball players cost millions in lost revenues but it could have been much worse. Cities would have lost $500 million to $1 billion, according to one estimate, if the season had been canceled. Edward Shils, a finance professor in Philadelphia, had projected his city losses at $35 million if the strike had wiped out the rest of the season. Police disperse S. Africa riot JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - Police fired rubber bullets and sneezing powder to disperse 300 Mack youths hurting bottles and stones Wednesday amid a wave of renewed violence in segregated black townships throughout South Africa. The clashes coincided with the start of a three-day boycott by students at the white University of Cape Town to protest the state of emergency begun July 21. Pope denounces apartheid VATICAN CITY - Pope John Paul H, speaking out for the first time since a wave of racial unrest erupted in South Africa, de­ nounced apartheid Wednesday on the eve of a 12-day, seven-nation trip to Africa. In his weekly address to about 10,000 people gathered in St. Peter's Square, John Paul called South Africa's apartheid system of strict racial separation and discrimination "inhuman." BBC on strike for 24 hours LONDON--Broadcast journalists walked off the Job Wednesday in a 24-hour strike to protest the government-requested cancellation of a documentary on the Irish Republican Army, hitting Britain with its first nationwide radio and television news blackout. .. ... • , /• EASY TO LOVE la beeutiful Conrad Bridge Trails oa acre nicely wooded lot.
