NEW YORK — John Connally
assured Republicans in the nation’s
financial center late Tuesday that as
president he would reduce taxes by
as much as $100 billion.
Connally addressed 180 Republi
cans who contributed $1,000 each to
the GOP at one of the five fund
raising events around the country
featuring Republican presidential
candidates.
The former Texas governor in his
speech did not mention his controv
ersial Middle East peace plan which
dissatisfied many Republicans in
New York, a heavily Jewish city, and
reportedly cut down on the number
of tickets sold to the fund-raiser.
But while taking questions after
his speech, Connally defended the
plan, saying he is strongly commit
ted to Israel.
Connally said his prescription to
“restore fiscal sanity to Washington”
is “less government and less taxa
tion.”
He proposed a plan to reduce
taxes between $50 billion and $100
billion during the first 3-5 years it is
in effect.
Connally said he is “sympathetic
with the president” in his efforts to
deal with the current crisis in Iran.
Connally has previously predicted
Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass.,
would be the Democratic presiden
tial nominee, and he said Tuesday
night the Republicans “better be
prepared to nominate somebody
who can meet (Kennedy) on any
stump, or any street, or any alley or
anyplace else that he wants to con
duct battle because it’s going to be a
slam-bang operation.”

WASHINGTON — Irish prime
minister Jack Lynch arrived in New
port News, Va., Wednesday to begin
an 8-day tour of the United States
that includes meetings with Presi
dent Carter and visits to five other
U.S. cities.
President Carter was to welcome
Lynch to the White House at 10:30
a.m. today and is hosting a black tie
dinner in the evening. Lynch also
met Secretary of State Cyrus Vance
and other cabinet officers.
The problem of Northern Ireland
is expected to be high on the agenda
of Lynch’s talks with Carter and his
top foreign policy aides.
Less than a month ago. Lynch told
the Irish parliament his govemrfient
supports and seeks to encourage “re
conciliation between” the two
opposing religious factions in North
ern Ireland.
“We believe that, ultimately, the
way to create permanent peace and
stabihty in Ireland lies in the free
and voluntary coming together of the
people of Ireland under agreed poli
tical structures,” Lynch said in his
Oct. 17 speech.
During his two-day stay in
Washington, Lynch will also meet
with members of the Senate and
House foreign relations committee
and will attend a lunch hosted by
House Speaker Thomas P. O’Neill,
D-Mass.
The Irish visitor will be in Boston
on Saturday and is also scheduled to
visit New Orleans Sunday, Houston
Monday, Chicago Tuesday and New
York Wednesday and Thursday.
While in New York, Lynch is
scheduled to meet with U. N. Secret
ary General Kurt Waldheim.
Lynch’s official schedule, as re
leased by the State Department,
shows that his programs in the va
rious American cities he is visiting is
filled with social functions — with
the accent on the Irish — as well as
receptions by local mayors.
His activities include an Irish-
American reception in Boston; a
block party at New Orleans’ Irish
Channel; a rodeo in Stafford, Texas;
a lunch with the Irish Fellowship of
Chicago, and meetings with the Ire-
land-U.S. Council for Commerce
and Industry in New York.

OKLAHOMA CITY — Gov.
George Nigh Wednesday shipped
Gat-Han, a buffalo he described as
“1,800 pounds of mean,” to Texas in
payment of a football bet with the
Lone Star governor.
Nigh sent along a case of meat ten-
derizer with the 14-year-old buffalo,
being sent to Texas Gov. Bill Cle
ments and destined eventually to be
eaten by the University of Texas
football team.
“He’s 1,800 pounds of mean,”
Nigh said during a brief sendoff cere
mony on the Capitol steps. “I don’t
know if they’re going to take him to
the Red River and turn him loose, or
take him all the way.”
An aide to the governor
announced earlier the buffalo would
be taken to the Clem Gil farm east of
Dallas for processing, and the meat
would be sent on to Austin for the
Longhorns’ barbecue.
