Bentsen says lower interest rates
needed to solve country’s problems
Tactics called ‘Carterism ’
Hi
United Press International
DALLAS — Sen. Lloyd Bentsen,
D-Texas, said Tuesday the nation’s
economic recession may have bot
tomed out as President Carter has
said but an improvement in the eco
nomy may be stymied by high in
terest rates.
In Dallas to speak at a national
affairs briefing of the Texas Associa
tion of Business, Bentsen said the
government must provide incentives
for individual savings to increase the
level of capital available for mort
gages in the country.
Bush: Carter using innuent
Unit
Latins say
alien bill
is unfair
United Press International
CORPUS CHRISTI — The na
tional president of the League of
Latin American Citizens said Tues
day LULAC is pressing for a veto of a
bill sponsored by Sen. Lloyd Bent
sen giving permanent resident alien
status to a group of Canadian Men-
nonites who settled in West Texas.
Ruben Bonilla said LULAC mem
bers object to the bill because it does
not include similar status for the un
documented Hispanics in the United
States.
Bonilla, a Corpus Christi attorney,
said he sent a telegram to Carter on
Monday, expressing LULAC’s oppo
sition to the bill and asking him to
veto it.
“In its simplest form,” Bonilla
said, “the legislation is inequitable.
If we are to grant amnesty for Men-
nonites, why not for Mexicans as
well?”
Bentsen, D-Texas, sponsored the
private bill which already had
cleared the House and passed the
Senate last week.
It would give the 653 Mennonites
permanent alien resident status after
the members of the group purchased
land in Texas several years ago, came
to settle the land but could not pay
for it because others of their number
were unable to immigrate.
Since then, members of the group
have been confounded by problems
of citizenship and economics.
“LULAC congratulates Sen.
Bentsen for his compassion in trying
to come to grips with the difficult
economic dilemma of the Mennonite
population of West Texas,” Bonilla
said.
“The bill to grant permanent resi
dent status to the 653 is cetainly de
serving of support, in principle.
However, because it seems to favor
the economic well-to-do at the ex
pense of the poor and unrespected
Mexican undocumented worker, we
are calling upon President Carter to
veto the bill,” he said.
“It would be far more appropori-
ate to issue a general moratorium on
deportation of any Mexican immig
rant until such time as the Select
Commission on Immigration Re
fugee Policy returns its findings to
Congress in early 1981.
“The Mexican undocumented
worker is as thrify, as industrious
and as law-abiding as a Mennonite,”
Bonilla said. “Both the Mennonite
and the Mexican are productive resi
dents of this country and, therefore,
both should be considered for per
manent resident status.”
Dallas man
carries out
suicide plan
United Press International
DALLAS — A 46-year-old man
who three weeks ago failed to carry
out the second half of a murder-
suicide plan, killed himself Monday
to avoid being rearrested for slaying
his wife.
Four warrant officers went to rear-
rest Phillip Edward Brinson Jr., but
he refused to surrender, fired a shot
gun blast into the ground to keep the
officers away and then committed
suicide.
Brinson, an electronics technician
for the Dallas school district, had
been free on $10,000 bond, but a
justice of the peace had ordered the
bond increased to $50,000 after the
suspect had threatened to kill Mrs.
Brinson’s son from a previous mar
riage.
On Sept. 17, Brinson’s wife Joy,
44, was found shot to death on their
living room sofa. Police found Brin
son lying in bed with a sheet pulled
over his head, and a cocked pistol
and a suicide note on the bedstand.
Officers found liquor bottles
throughout the house and said Brin
son killed his wife but passed out
before he could commit suicide.
Mrs. Brinson’s son, Michael
Karnes, said Brinson had blamed
their marital problems on her chil
dren.
When the officers went to rearrest
Brinson, they found plywood barri
cading the front door.
“He raised the window and the
officers told them they had a new
warrant for his arrest,” said Capt.
A. D. McCurley of the Dallas County
Sheriffs Department. “He said he’d
get dressed and come out.”
Instead, Brinson grabbed his 12-
gauge shotgun and fired through the
door.
“There is no way the economy can
improve if interest rates continue to
increase,” he said.
Bentsen is chairman of the Joint
Economic Committee and a member
of the Senate finance committee.
He said a bill he introduced in
1979, effective January 1981, would
provide such incentives by increas
ing the exemption of taxes on savings
interest.
“Individuals can exempt $200 of
their interest on savings from taxes
and on joint forms, $400,” he said.
“It isn’t as much as I wanted, but it
was as much as I could get.”
Additionally, the senate finance
committee’s economic bill would
provide 3 percent across the board
tax cuts, exemptions to offset the in
creases in social security taxes and
reduce part of the penalty faced by
married couples in filing joint re
turns.
“The American public faces an $86
billion increase in taxes next year.
Our bill will not reduce their present
the
increases
taxes but will offset
they face,” he said.
Bentsen said the president’s eco
nomic bill was in many areas similar
to the senate bill.
“I think ours is the better bill. I
think ours will pass and the president
will not veto it,” he said.
The economy must emphasize
productivity and sound economic
management for the United States to
gain stability on the world market
again, he said.
United Press International
MIDLAND — Republican vice
presidential candidate George Bush,
returning to the city where he
started in the oil business, said Tues
day President Carter has resorted to
a “campaign of innuendo. ”
Appearing with Gov. Bill Cle
ments at a campaign barbecue that
drew about 1,000 supporters, the
former Texas congressman criticized
Carter’s anti-Reagan comments
made while campaigning Monday.
He said Carter was using shoddy tac
tics that he referred to as “Car
terism.”
Later Tuesday Bush and Clements
were to appear in Plano at the de
dication of a new city hall.
During a campaign tour Monday,
Carter said if Reagan is elected presi
dent, the nation will be factional-
ized.
“Each passing day of the campaign
it seems that the man who holds the
highest office in the land demeans
that office by attacks on his oppo
nent, Gov. Reagan,” Bush said.
