longressman Udall faces
iggest challenge in 18 years

United Press International
TUCSON, Ariz. — Rep. Morris Udall, one-time
eniocratic presidential hopeful and a leading liberal
kesman in Congress, is facing one of the stiffest
iectjon challenges of his 18-year congressional career.
The 58-year-old chairman of the House Interior Com-
littee is running against a Republican businessman
th oil-interest support who has shunned the campaign
,] e of a long string of candidates buried by Udall
idslides. , , . , ,
Richard Huff, 54, is a political novice, but his well-
ianced media campaign and his refusal to confront the
lumbent in face-to-face debate have left Udall charg-
“dirty” politics.
One of the things that makes it one of his (Udall’s)
lest races is money coming in from outside the state,”
i- Lars Pedersen, Pima County Democratic chair-
n “He’s been targeted by the Republican National
unmittee; you have oil money coming in, you have
oskan money coming in.’
Last week, Udall revealed he has suffered for five
irs from a mild case of Parkinson’s Disease, a some-
jes fatal degenerative brain illness characterized by a
[iythniic tremor and muscular rigidity.
| wouldn’t run for Congress if I didn’t think I could
[andle my responsibilites and duties,” Udall said.
Huff said he would not raise the illness as an issue in
ted
r Posertt! the campaign.
In 1976, Udall made a strong bid for the Democratic
presidential nomination, but lost to Jimmy Carter. He
then resolved to stick with his congressional post, and
this year quickly squelched talk of making him the vice
presidential nominee.
Udall went to Congress in 1961 to succeed his brother
Stewart, who had been named secretary of the Interior
Department by President Kennedy.
After winning nine two-year terms handily, Udall
began campaigning 214 months early this year.
Huff budgeted $500,000, including $150,000 of his
personal funds, in the quest to represent Arizona’s
sprawling 2nd Congressional District, including Tuc
son, a city of 300,000, and widely scattered ranches,
farms and small towns.
Huff, a West Virginia native who developed a success
ful real estate business in Tucson, has hammered at
Udall’s voting record, claiming he is too liberal and out
of touch with his conservative Arizona constituency.
Udall’s district has been battered economically by the
1980 copper industry strike and Udall and Huff have
sparred in the media about unemployment, Social
Security benefits, tax cuts and defense spending.
Udall’s stand on environmental issues prompted con
tributions to Huff s campaign from at least a dozen major
oil company interests, but Udall has financing from the
AFL-CIO and other labor groups.

Carter still sure
of his re-election
United Press International
WASHINGTON — President Carter said Tuesday he thinks Amer
icans will overcome their “transient dissatisfaction” with high inflation
and unemployment and elect him on Nov. 4.
He was asked on the ABC-TV “Good Morning America” program
why the election appears very close with 14 days to go and why some
voters say they will support him against Republican Ronald Reagan as
“the lesser of two evils. ”
“Up until the time that people go to the polls to vote, particularly in a
general election, there’s an inclination to compare a candidate with
perfection — a combination of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln
and Thomas Jefferson and maybe Harry Truman and Roosevelt,”
Carter said.
He said voters are rightfully concerned about high inflation, unem
ployment and other problems.
“But being concerned about an issue does not prevent an American
from making a sound judgment about his or her own future,” he said.
As election day draws near, the president predicted Americans will
decide to vote on how they feel the outcome will affect “the people they
love, their families, the status of their whole nation, the prospects for
stability and the control of nuclear weapons.”
“These things are very important and I think there will be more of a
consideration in the future — not just some transient dissatisfaction
with exact percentages on inflation, which is too high, on unemploy
ment, which is too high,” he said.
Carter was cut off in the middle of his final response for a commercial
and ABC later explained that a computer automatically cut the com
mercial on at 8 a. m. EDT.

“I still haven’t landed the biggest fish in
the Northwest.
“But I have landed two of the best clients.
“I came to Boeing two and a half years ago
with a degree in Engineering from Michigan Tech.
University.
“Right away, Boeing gave me all the design
challenge I could handle in the wing group of the
767 program. They were a great group of people
who taught me the latest techniques in design.
“About a year after that Boeing handed me
some bigger fish to fry. I transferred to Customer
Engineering. And now I have my own clients —
Pan Am and U. S. Air. They’re two very demanding
customers who really keep me on my toes. And I
love it.
“Which brings me to fishing. The Northwest
is an angler’s paradise. And if you love trout and
salmon as much as I do, or you just like the
outdoors, there’s no place like Seattle and the
Pacific Northwest.”
Stop by your college placement office and sign
up for an on-campus interview. Or send your
