Reagan on the road
for “New Federalism”
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The
“New Federalism” campaign is
on the road Monday, with Presi
dent Reagan set to drum up sup
port for his sweeping proposal
in visits to three Midwestern
cities.
Reagan’s proposal to relin
quish federal control of many
New Deal social programs will
dominate the two-day trip to
Minnesota, Iowa and Indiana
and may make enough news to
distract attention from the $91.5
billion deficit he just
announced.
Before leaving for the Mid
west, Reagan scheduled meet
ings with the bipartisan congres
sional leadership and Republi
can congressional leaders.
Reagan’s introduction during
the weekend of his 1983 fiscal
budget with its whopping deficit
was up for discussion.
For Reagan, today’s trip was a
key element in his selling of the
“New Federalism” plan to turn
control for some 43 social wel
fare programs from Washing
ton over to the states. It is a near
ly $50 billion undertaking, and
won’t even get started until 1984
if passed by Congress.
That will give the president
plenty of time to whip up sup
port for the plan and to avoid
discussing the economy in speci
fic detail. Reagan, who turned
71 years old Saturday, was told
by his top aides during the
weekend that he faces a political
ly difficult task in the months
ahead if the economy does not
rebound.
The job of pushing for a Re
publican majority in the House
to go with GOP dominance in
the Senate will be that much
tougher if the economy does not
get into shape.
Reagan’s tour was to begin
Monday evening at a fund
raiser for Sen. David Durenber-
ger, R-Minn., just outside Min
neapolis. Later, the president
will address a GOP rally and
then fly to Des Moines for the
night.

NORTH ATTLEBORO,
Mass. — The man who fired at
two Massachusetts troopers at a
highway rest stop and fled into
the woods is a member of a
radical terrorist group believed
to be involved in the slaying of a
New Jersey state trooper, police
say.
State police searched Mon
day for Jan Laaman, but said
they were afraid he had escaped.
“We just don’t know what
happened to him,” a state police
spokesman said. “It still amazes
us how he managed to get out of
the woods undetected.”
About 150 officers, aided by
dogs and helicopters, spent all
day Sunday searching 3 square
miles of woods for Laaman,
identified as a member of the
radical Melville-Jackson Unit,
which is suspected of the slaying
of a New Jersey state trooper
Dec. 21.
Police said the shootout in
North Attleboro began early
Sunday wh6n one man jumped
out of a station wagon parked at
a rest area on Route 95 and fired
at two approaching troopers.
One of the two police cruisers
was hit at least three times, but
neither trooper was hurt. The
man identified as Laaman
escaped into the woods.
