WASHINGTON — A Democratic
advisory group wants the party plat
form to call for wage and price con
trols — a policy Sen. Edward Ken
nedy advocates and President Carter
strongly opposes.
The platform committee began
hearings Tuesday, and it was urged
to endorse an anti-inflation program
more in line with Kennedy’s ideas
than with the program Carter an
nounced last week.
the final version of the party’s 1980
platform is written at the New York
convention in August.
Party officials backing Carter
appeared to view the advisory com
mittees as a liberal faction that would
have to be tolerated initially, but
which would not necessarily set the
tone for the final platform.
“Do not balance the budget on the
hacks of those who can afford it the
least,” said Ruth Joran, chairwoman
of the advisory panel on inflation.
The report appeared to strike a
responsive chord among several
members of the platform committee.
“This is the first thing I’ve heard
today that sounds like a Democratic
platform,” said Steven Smith of

The panel also warned against
budget cuts and tight money policies
that might worsen unemployment or
impose additional hardships on
minorities and the poor.
“We seem to be embarked on
another effort to control inflation
through recession,” the advisory
panel said. “It is a Republican
method; it never worked for them; it
surely can’t work for us.’
Recommendations from the advis
ory committees on agriculture and
on employment and growth also ran
counter to current administration
policies.

WASHINGTON — The Justice
Department proposed Wednesday
to give the department’s civil rights
chief formal authority for approving
redistricting plans and other
changes in election procedures in 22
states, including Texas.
The proposed revised regulations,
published in the Federal Register,
would give to Assistant Attorney
General Drew S. Days authority he
has routinely exercised — although
it technically belongs to Attorney
General Benjamin Civiletti.
The 54 pages of proposed regula
tions also include a number of other
changes in the way in which the
Justice Department may register its
objections to election changes
under 1975 amendments to the Vot
ing Rights Act.

Gerald Jones, chief of the depart

be granted authority to act on behalf
of Days to impose objections to
changes that might dilute minority
voting strength.
Under the act, certain states or
counties may not change election
procedures without approval from
the Justice Department. If the Jus
tice Department objects, the state
may overturn the ruling by seeking
approval from a federal court panel.
Jones said the proposed revisions
are aimed at clarifying requirements
of the law so state and local govern
ments “know what the require
ments are.”

CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Gov. Ed
Herschler says a national coalition
calling for a 12.5 percent ceiling on
coal taxes is made up primarily of
mining companies, not consumers.
Herschler said Tuesday, “It s (the
coalition) being formed by the Amer
ican Mining Congress and the coal
companies. And so naturally, if they
don’t hve to pay taxes they’re going
to have higher profits. ”
Herschler was referring to the Na
tional Coal Consumer Alliance, a
group whose f o r m a t i o n was
announced recently by San Antonio
Mayor Lila Cockrell.
The governor also said the cities of
San Antonio and Minneapolis, which
use Wyoming coal to produce pow
er, should be blaming railroad
freight rates, not state mineral taxes,
