Bush now leads
Reagan in N.H.
United Press International
BOSTON — George Bush is now
in a dead heat with former front
runner Ronald Reagan in the New
Hampshire Republican presidential
primary race, according to the latest
public opinion poll published in
Sunday’s Boston Globe.
The sample of 616 New Hamp
shire Republicans and independents
polled the week after Bush s victory
in the Iowa GOP caucuses showed
Bush leading Reagan 45 to 36 per
cent. No other Republican candidate
broke out of single figures.
Among the sample, the 275 per
sons who said they were likely to
vote favored Bush 43 to 39 percent
over Reagan with a five percentage
point margin of error, the survey
showed.
In a similar poll last September,
Reagan dominated with 50 percent
of those polled favoring the former
California governor. Bush received
only 8 percent.
Since then the former CIA dire
ctor has jumped 37 percentage
points. Ragan has slipped by 14
points.
The surveys were conducted by
Research Analysis Corp. of Boston,
an independent firm formally affili
ated with the Globe. The latest poll
consisted of telephone interviews
conducted between Jan. 24 and Jan.
27.
Sen. Howard Baker, R-Ill., was a
distant third with 8 percent of the
overall sample, a drop of 5 points
from his standing in September.
In the latest Globe poll, former
Texas Gov. John Connally had 4 per
cent; Reps. Philip Crane and John
Anderson, both R-Ill., had 2 per
cent; and Sen. Robert Dole, R-Kan.,
had less than 0.5 percent.
Baker, Connally, Crane and Dole
have lost support slightly in New
Hampshire since the September
poll, the surveys showed.
The shift from a pack chasing
Reagan into a two-man race in New
Hampshire, the Globe said,
appeared to be credited to Bush’s
rise from obscurity rather than Re
gan’s fall from grace.
Last September, Reagan’s favora-
bility rating was 66 percent in the
Globe Poll. This time it was 67 per
cent. Bush, who had a 38 percent
favorable rating in September,
Consumer group hits legislators
soared to 81 percent this time.
During the same period, Bush’s
unfavorability rating dropped from
26 percent to 14 percent while
Reagan’s remained constant at 30
percent.

WASHINGTON — The Consum
er Federation of America, the na
tion’s largest organized consumer
group, has charged the last session of
Congress with betraying the con
sumer.
The federation awarded “zero”
ratings to two senators (James
McClure, R-Idaho, and Milton
Young, R-N. D.) and 25 House mem
bers for their voting records.
The only perfect rating in the 96th
Congress, 100 percent, went to Rep.
John Seiberling, D-Ohio.
Kathleen O’Reilly, executive dire
ctor of the federation, said Saturday
two votes — on the decontrol of
domestic crude oil and on blocking
the Federal Trade Commission from
regulating funeral homes — were
“particularly significant symbols of
the congressional betrayal of con
sumers.”
The funeral home measure has
passed the House but not the
Senate.
Other actions which figured in the
ratings, she said, were billion dollar
subsidies to big energy companies to
develop “a questionably effective,
and arguably dangerous synthetic
fuel industry,” subsidies to aeros
pace firms, and exemptions for air
lines from noise standards.
Four senators — all with 86 per
cent ratings — tied for top ratings.
They were Sens. Paul Sarbanes, D-
Md., Paul Tsongas, D-Mass., Carl
Levin, D-Mich., and Donald Riegle,
D-Mich.
In the House, the 25 members
who drew zero ratings were:
Reps. Don Young, R-Ark.; John
Rousselot, R-Calif.; Ken Kramer, R-
Colo.; Phil Crane, R-Ill.; Be
Michel, R-Ill.; Larry Winn, R-Kan
Bob Livingston, R-La.; Dona

National Guard blamed for
death of Fort Dix trainee
United Press International
CLARKSBURG, W.Va. —
Lawson D. Hileman, called David
by his family and friends, wanted to
enlist in the West Virginia National
Guard more than anything. He
joined and it cost him his life.
Hileman didn’t die a hero’s death
in a war. He collapsed on a dusty dirt
road on a hot and humid July night
during a 10-mile hike while training
at Fort Dix, N. J. He died a few hours
later.
The autopsy revealed that he died
of acute lung congestion caused by
an irregular heart beat. There was
also evidence of myocarditis, an
inflammation of the heart muscle,
and pheumonitis, benign
pneumonia.
“We also think that heat and
exercise stress may have been
related to his sudden death,” the
death report stated.
His parents, Aaron and Velma
Hileman, say the Army killed him by
ignoring his complaints of illness and
disregarding his physical limitations.
Now they say the Army is trying to
sweep his death under the rug.
“They tortured him to death,”
Mrs. Hileman said. “The night
before he died he called and said he
wanted to come home. He coughed
every breath he took. He said, ‘Ma, I
can’t take this any more.’”
It was an unfortunate accident,
the National Guard and Army
officials said. They said it was
precipitated by Hileman’s zeal to
enlist.
“We very definitly have made no
determination that there was any
negligence,” Col. Paul McGowan,
commander of Hileman’s brigade at
Fort Dix, said.
McGowan said Hileman had been
on sick call about a dozen times
before his death. At one point, the
soldier received a chest X-ray which
showed his lungs to be clear.
Col. John Moon, commander of
the West Virginia National Guard,
said there was no evidence that the
guard was derelict in its duty to
ferret out any disabilities.
“We in the guard are terribly
upset this happened. It’s the first
time this has happened. You might
relate this to some of the athletic
personnel who expired this year in
West Virginia. They are practicing
and all of a sudden they collapse from
heat exhaustion — an accumulation
of a number of things.”
Hileman had tried to enlist as a
17-year-old, but his parents refused
to sign the waiver papers. Three
days after he turned 18 on March 3,
1979, he went to Fairmont and
carried through his plans despite his
parents’ protests.
He was allowed to join despite the
fact he weighed more than military
regulations allowed, suffered from
asthma and allergies and had flat
feet, his parents said.
