A storm system was slipping into the country from the northwest, with high wind warning posted for the east slopes of the Montana Rockies. Gusts of 50 and 70 mph were possi­ ble, the National Weather Service said. A least 10 eastern cities reported record low temperatures early Mon­ day, many of them for the second or third straight day. Greensboro, N.C., and Raleigh-Durham N.C. broke or tied their record lows for a fourth day. Charlotte, N.C., tied a record low of 51 set in 1902 and a 43-degree reading in Knoxville, Tenri., broke a record of 46 set in 1904. The high pressure system respon­ sible for the cool weather was drift­ ing slowing to the east, the National Weather Service said. Early morning low temperatures were in the 30s and 40s across much of the east, with readings in the 40s reported as far south as South Caro­ lina. Low temperatures were also quite cool in the northwest and Great Basin with lows mostly in the 30s to mid 40s. Farther south, a tropical depres­ sion in the Bahamas, combined with high pressure centered over Penn­ sylvania, produced strong winds with gusts to 30 mph along the south­ eastern coast of Florida. Small craft advisories were in af­ fect along the North Carolina coast and south along the Florida shore­ line. Coastal flooding was also possi­ ble along the southeast Florida coast. Choppy weather in the Gulf forced the replica ship Godspeed to remain another day in Puerto Rico. The 3-stop voyage to Virginia, a re­ lation of the 1607 voyage of the first permanent English settlers to World, was expected to to 25 days, crew members iroyage to Virginia is the final leg of the Godspeed's voyage, which started in England earlier this year. Coastal flooding continued along the upper Texas coast. The National Weather Service said a combination of strong east winds and higher tides was causing some of the flooding. A few beach roads were under water in southeast Texas. Showers and thundershowers were reported across the Northern Plains, the southern Rockies, west and south Texas, the coastal sections of Florida and off the southern Atlantic Coast. News at a glance By United Press International U.S. becomes debtor nation WASHINGTON - The United States posted a $31.8 billion bal­ ance of payments deficit from April through June, more than enough to plunge the country into debtor status for the first time since World War I, the government said Monday. The red ink on what is known as the current account was the second largest quarterly total on record. Thirty four dead in Tripoli TRIPOLI, Lebanon -- Moslem militiamen fought artillery and mortar duels across the ravaged avenues of Tripoli on Monday, killing at least 34 people and wounding 76 in the worst street battles in the northern port in two years. A pre-dawn barrage of shells on Tripoli's Bahjat Ghanem army barracks killed an officer and nine soldiers and wounded 40. • \ v ' • . . . • • Tax reform hits the road WASHINGTON -- President Reagan continues his push for tax reform in tax-free New Hampshire this Week as his aides attempt to juggle an increasingly crowded agenda of domestic and foreign policy concerns. Reagan will carry his tax reform campaign to New Hampshire at midweek as the House Ways and Means Com­ mittee begins work on what the president hopes will be a satisfac­ tory bill. Negotiations progress * Pawtucket, R.I. -- Progress was reported Monday in a 9-day-old strike in Pawtucket to vote on a new contract proposal dismissed by union officials as insufficient. Summit problems explained WASHINGTON -- President Reagan said the reason it has taken so long to arrange a U.S-Soviet summit is because in his first term his counterparts in the Kremlin "kept dying on me." Reagan also delivered a new blast at Nicaragua, charging it has "preyed upon" neighboring El Salvador, Honduras, Costa Rica and Guatemala. Thompson stops tax break McHENRY OPTICIANS OVER 1,000 FIRST QUALITY METAL OR PLASTIC c*A FRAMES iV CLASSES MADE WHILE YOU WAIT! * (SINCii VISION PLASTIC ONLY) United Press International SPRINGFIELD, 111. - The jig is up for Illinois shoppers who take their dollars to other states to avoid paying state sales taxes. Gov. James R. Thompson Monday penned into law a measure requiring out-of-state retailers to collect Illi­ nois sales tax on products they ship to Illinois residents. Some Illinois consumers have found they can save money by buy­ ing goods in Missouri, for example, and having the merchandise shipped home to them in Illinois. Such sales do not require payment of Illinois or Missouri sales tax. KIDS FRAMES METAL OR PLASTIC SENIOR CITIZENS-FREE FRAME- OFLENSIS EMERGENCY REPAIR & FRAME REPLACEMENT (815)385-9240 D A l l 1 H ?

NEW YORK - Stocks closed ; mixed Monday in light trading, with 'many market participants out for *_ the Rosh Hashana holiday. * The Dow Jones industrial average ^gained slightly, adding 1.46 to '1,309.14, after four consecutive de­ stining sessions. But the broader 'market moved lower, with analysts ^attributing the decline to a lack of , conviction among investors. [ •'Everybody's licking their ;wounds after last week," said Ralph Acampora of Kidder Peabody, when 'the Dow Jones index fell 28.01 points *ki four consecutive losing sessions. ."We did a lot of damage in the last rcouple of trading days." ' Some analysts attributed the ' Dow's slight bounce upward to news .reports Saudi Arabia will increase oil production and cut its prices, 'which could signify lower energy 'prices. tBut the market's gains were limit- 'ed. "There's still a lot of confusion •out there. You'll see it fairly sloppy ' the rest of the month," said Thomas 'Epperson of Wood, Mackenzie, New Orleans, with a pickup in October. io am 8 If You Fail To Receive Your McHenry Plaindealer Before 7:00 a.m. • Please Call Our Circulation Dept.
