Most restaurateurs surveyed by United Press International during tjie weekend said they were losing msiness — or would be soon. U.S. strategic quality safe Brown says United Press International WASHINGTON — The United tates will have strategic equality ith Russia under SALT II even if it ippears the Soviets are “giants’ and he Americans are “dwarfs,” De fense Secretary Harold Brown said donday. “If you have a team of giants on he one hand and dwarfs on the ther,” he told the Senate Armed iervices Committee, “if the dwarfs re as strong, and as able, that is not nequal. Brown’s comment referred to a harge by SALT II critic Sen. Henry ackson, D-Wash., the treaty makes ioviet forces look like giants, and merican forces look like dwarfs. “I believe it (the treaty) is fair and quitable,” Brown said. Brown conceded the projected J.S. MX missile was smaller than Jhe giant Soviet SS-18 missiles, but ne assured the panel it will be as lapable. • T would not trade the (Soviet) »S-18 missile for the MX missile, (he said. I Brown also hinted the United tales might depart from its current licy of saying it would not fire idinutemen III missiles until attack viet missiles had hit the United tales. The Soviets will be able to de troy our ICBM missiles in our ilos, in the early 1980s, he told the enators. “But that assumes our hnutemen will be in their silos, hey cannot be sure that will be the Base. Monk’s Inn in Miami reported a 5 to 6 percent decline in business and said at least 40 customers a day complained of the heat. “It’s very uncomfortable. The biggest complaint is they feel they aren’t relaxed any more,’’ said Man ager Henry Burgos. “I believe in conservation all the way but there are certain instances where they have to bend.’’ Several restaurant owners re ported increased sales of “cool” or “light” foods such as salads. Others said customers were eating less — apparently because the heat re duced their appetites. Proprietor William Eaton of the Redwood House near the Los Angeles Civic Center said business definitely took a downturn since his restaurant turned up its thermostat. But he said beer sales were up — and he increased his beer supply. Maybe just enough to cry in. Eaton said Carter’s thermostat order “won’t save a plugged nickel” because planners failed consider such factors as reduced air condi tioning forcing restaurant re frigerators to work overtime. The manager of the Draw Bridge Restaurant in Des Moines, Iowa, reported business off sharply and said about a third of his customers complained about the heat. He said the warmer atmosphere could create a health problem. “The complaints have been so bad I have had to turn it down,” he said. “We set it at 78 and as it (the re staurant) fills up the temperature goes up. By keeping it so hot you’re making an active environment for bacteria.” In Washington, D.C., customers at the posh Rive Gauche were put ting up with the heat, though chef- owner Michael Laudier said they were definitely complaining about it. Laudier said the restaurant had not relaxed its dress code but that men were loosening their ties, or taking them off completely, during dinner. In Miami, King Arthur’s Court, the only restaurant with a strict dress code, upped its thermostat and dropped its requirement that men wear jackets. Operators of New York’s swank eateries were reluctant to discuss the possibility of their customers sweating but allowed that some perspiration was inevitable. aith kept family together: Kennedy United Press International HOUSTON — Rose Kennedy, Celebrating her 89th birthday Sun- Bay, says strong faith was the anchor pat held the Kennedy family to gether during the good and bad mes. “Every day, all my life, wherever lam, I have gone to mass.
