But he said if Congress makes “drastic changes” that would make him doubt the bill’s effectiveness or viability, he would veto it. Some House Democrats want to increase the number of new jobs by increasing the size of the $31.2 bil lion package, and to limit the $50 tax rebate to lower income people instead of giving it to almost all Americans. Earlier in the day, Carter was quoted as telling Democratic con gressional leaders that in regard to his governmental reorganizational plan, “I’m not asking for 100 per energy plan unveiled in April President Carter conducts his first news conference United Press International WASHINGTON — Highlights of president Carter’s news con ference: Economic stimulus Would veto economic package if Congress makes’ drastic” changes that would impair its ef fectiveness, but could accept certain revisions. Believes his package is “well balanced, well considered . . . fair to the Ameri can people.” SALT and Warnke No conflict between his views „.i arms reductions and those of Paul Warnke, named to head Arms Control and Disarmament Agency; expects him to win overwhelming approval. Willing to complete another SALT agreement that does not include either the Soviet Backfire bomber or the U.S. Cruise missile — two major stumbling blocks in the talks. Dealt e Ta®i ,8p. y 12 p, iar, tructit :S, Federal Pay Raise Supports federal pay increases for Congress, federal judges and others because of assurances congressional leaders will push strong ethics code. “I think the pay increase is justified in most SCaudal instances,” and if coupled with ethics code, “overall it would be good for our country.” Congress Has made mistakes in dealing with congressional leaders but believes he is making progress. “We’ve given them cause for some of the complaints. The han dling of personnel appointments is very difficult. We have not been adequately helpful in deal ing with the Congress. We have tried to deal fairly but we have not always been successful.” Energy “I’m against nationalization of the oil industry.” Said energy plan he will unveil April 20 will be controversial, but: “Our country has not had such a policy to guide it. I believe when this policy is made public it will obviously engender a great deal of debate. It’s going to re quire substantial sacrifices on the part of the American people. “I’m going to try to make sure that oil and natural gas com panies and others that produce don’t derive unwarranted profit when we cut back on consump tion and when we cut back on production.” Nuclear Superiority At the present time . . . we have superiority in nuclear capa bility” over the Soviets. But both nations are on an equal footing in the sense that a major attack would mean “tens of millions of people would be killed. ” Repeated call for “complete elimination of nuclear weapons from the earth” and said he was assured yesterday that China seeks to reduce to zero depen dence on nuclear arms. Doubts there will be another Watergate-like scandal. Says it will be preventd by governmen tal safeguards such as election re form, ethics codes and more openness in government. Human Rights Will continue to speak out on human rights and does not think Soviets tried to test him by ex pelling a U.S. correspondent and detaining a Russian poet. Does not believe free discussion of human rights will harm negotia tions on other matters. \ IS Nearly New Thrift Shoppe til S.

Carter is seeking renewal of pre vious reorganization acts that per mitted a president to reorganize the executive branch, except Cabinet departments, subject only to the veto of either house of Congress. Chairman Jack Brooks, D-Tx., of the House Government Operations Committee, which must act on the plan, favors affirmative congres sional action on each specific reor ganization proposal. Brooks acknowledged to re porters after the meeting with Car ter that defeating the President’s bill would be “very difficult, very difficult.” He indicated he would not try to block Carter’s bill if most congressmen favor it. Carter told reporters he is work ing “very carefully, very closely” on other proposals — by March 1, to propose creation of a Department of Energy; by April 20, energy policy legislation, and May 1, welfare re form legislation. He admitted, however, at his news conference that he had given members of Congress some grounds for complaints by poor handling of personnel appointments. But he said through “a constant series of meetings’ with the mem bers of Congress “I believe that we have made a great deal of progress in correcting those early mistakes.” From Denmark with Love Beautiful Pewter Jewelry For Valentine's Day Feb. 14 HAPPY COTTAGE 809 E. 29th (3 blocks from City Nat'l Bank) UNIROYAL HAVE A HEART!
