CONCORD, N. H. — When
Ronald Reagan uses his mousetrap
line or President Ford jokes about
the price of government beer, the
Republican rivals are aiming at the
same target: Washington, and a fed
eral government they agree is too big
and powerful.
They differ on what to do about it.
But on a good many points, the Pres
ident and his challenger could trade
speeches and go right on talking.
For example:
' “Freedom is today misinterpreted
by too many to mean the instant
equalization of everyone’s social and
economic situation at the public ex
pense through the machinery of the
federal government.”
That’s Ford, not Reagan.
Or:
“Balancing the budget is like pro
tecting your virtue: you have to learn
to say no. ”
Reagan.
Both candidates are telling the
voters that private enterprise, not
government, has to produce the jobs
to cope with unemployment. Both
favor a constitutional amendment to
permit prayer in public schools.
Both are advocates of nuclear power
development.
Reagan favors a constitutional
amendment to ban abortions unless
the mother’s life is at stake: Ford
supports a different amendment
that would leave that question to the
states.
Both advocate a strong national
defense — with Reagan suggesting
that Ford’s ouster of James R.
Schlesinger as secretary of defense
casts doubt on administration devo
tion to that cause.
They differ on foreign policy,
given Reagan’s suspicion of U.S.—
Soviet detente.
Question and answer session are
the basic format of the Reagan cam
paign. He calls them Citizens Press
Conferences, meaning that voters,
not newsmen, are permitted to ask
questions.
Ford held one news conference
and two question hours during his
weekend in New Hampshire. He

of New Hampshire, facing down
hecklers and drawing cheers from
most of the 3,500 people in a field
house crowd. Reagan takes his turn
in the same arena Tuesday night.
In Nashua, Ford noted that the
area had attracted industries includ
ing a brewery that employs some 400
people.
“But I hope no one will contend
that the cure for unemployment is to

Supersonic animal draws

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Flying to
Europe at supersonic speeds aboard
the Anglo-French Concorde will cost
about $700, but you can board the
American SST for just $2. The diff er
ence is that the U.S. plane isn’t going
anywhere.
Displayed to curiosity-seekers like
some prehistoric animal, a red,
white and blue mockup of the now-
scuttled American supersonic trans
port draws about 9,000 visitors each
year to a roadside museum in this
central Florida town.
“We get quite a few visitors who
were involved in building the SST,”
museum Director J. E. Jacks said.
“They all feel it’s a shame that the
program was scrapped.”
Congress shelved the American
SST program in 1971, in part be
cause of environmentalists’ fears the
plane would be too noisy and dirty.
And the environmentalists objected
last week when Transportation Sec
retary William Coleman approved a
16-month trial lor Concorde llights
to New York and Washington from
London and Paris.
Even as the $60 million Concordes
zoom into the United States, aviation
buffs can still find artifacts of the
American program.

Boeing Co. of Seattle, as part of the
