Druck, vice chair man of the Harshe-Rotman & Druck advertising agency of New York. Druck called for the attacking of major issues head-on instead of avoiding them and working more constructively with the media. “The oil industries are having to deal with outside pressures such as runaway prices, increasingly heavy government intervention, and attacks from public activist groups,” Druck said.

The Republicans are astute enough to offer a candidate who is progressive and whose poli cies are not much more conservative than Carter’s, such as George Bush. A substantial number of Hispanics could support Bush in anger. “The president and his adminis tration apparently have set aside hu man needs and have made the work ing man the expendable commodity in the course of the nation’s econo mic planning. In spite of there being no official congressional declaraton of war, the budget nonetheless pro vides for record $158 billion defense spending,” he said. “In that regard, the budget consti tutes a windfall for giant corporate conglomerates and the defense con tractors of America, although our country is in a time of relative peace. The economic announcement feeds on a war hysteria being cultivated across our nation’s front pages. “The announcements are a sense of great disappointment to the His panic community and lead one, fairly or unfairly, to the conclusion the plan is based on political expediency and election-eve strategy.” Bonilla also strongly cn'^ Carter’s failure to appoint a fe,, , American or black to a higiiL-. . ship role in the president's!^!^, , election effort. :an Telepl Bfesked t Texas man killed in plane crash ons Conn fould raise verseas sc client. United Press International WITTS SPRING, Ark. —The sur vivor of a light plane crash in the northern Arkansas mountains said heavy fog and high wind proved too much for the pilot, who was killed. Pilot Roscoe Holbrook, 54, of Cor sicana, Texas, was flying back from Mountain Home, Ark., to Corsicana Tuesday when the single-engine Rockwell Commander 112 crashed, Searcy County Sheriff Lome Reeves said. James Gray, the passenger, was not seriously injured in the moun- taintop crash. He spent an hour climbing down the mountain for help, Reeves said. “He (Gray) said there was a real heavy fog and the visibility was just down to nothing,” Reeves said. “And it also appeared they were flying too low. They said they hit a downdraft and just couldn’t gain altitude.” Gray, 32, was later treated and released at the Boone Coutea pita! in Harrison. gpercen- Ine plane was owned by (^ 4 9 p ej Compression Service of C® police said.
