national Battalion/Page 10 February 19,1982 Irish choose between taxes, former leader United Press International DUBLIN, Ireland — Voters for a new Irish government had to choose Thursday between backing unpopular former Prime Minister Charles Haughey and the sharp tax in creases proposed by Prime Minister Garret FitzGerald. Both Haughey and Fitz Gerald predicted decisive wins, but opinion polls gave conflict ing forecasts, and some obser vers said the balance of power in the new parliament again could be held by independents. The 2.2 million voters had to choose from 364 candidates contesting 166 seats in the Bail, or parliament. Seven candidates were running for the Provision al Sinn Fein, the political wing of the outlawed Irish Republic Army. FitzGerald, 55, whom opin ion polls showed 30 percent ahead of Haughey in personal popularity, said on the eve of the election he was confident his Fine Gail Party would be re elected. “We are sure the electors will support the harsh budgetary measures that have to be taken to put the country’s economy back on the tracks,” FitzGerald said. His coalition with the smal ler Labor Party fell Jan. 28 when parliament rejected his heavy taxation budget by a single vote. “There is a willingness among the people to tackle our financial problems,” he said. Newspaper polls showed Tuesday night’s televised debate between FitzGerald and Haughey, 55, the leader of the Fianna Fail Party, was indecisive and the state’s electricity board said “about half the viewers switched off at the commercial break.” What’s Up at Texas A&M UNI FED CAMPUS MINSITRY: Friday night bible study will be held.

OPEN Monday through Friday 10:45 AM-1:45 PM QUALITY FIRST Montgomery and let some racist mayor turn us around,” march leader the Rev. Joseph Lowery shouted to nearly 1,000 cheer ing blacks jammed in a church Wednesday night. “We’re not asking anybody who don’t feel moved to do that.” Even if the marchers decided today to adhere to the three- block detour around the down town business district and avoid trouble with Mayor Emory Fol- mar and the police, the Ku Klux Klan planned a counterdemon stration at the Capitol, which could lead to another confronta tion. Lowery, president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, said he would lead anyone who would follow him on the six-block path straight to the Capitol. He said he would not bow to Folmar and five white councilmen who wanted to send them down back streets. “It’s a sacred route,” Lowery said. “They are violating the in tegrity of our pilgrimage.” U.S. District Judge Robert Varner denied the marchers’ last-minute appeal to force the city to allow them to track King’s march through the downrolj business section, but alsoiii fused the city’s request fonl injunction forbidding it. Varner, however, empbl sized the police have broad ml ers to make arrests. “I don'llu# the authority to license amJ to violate state law,” he said i Folmar said he did notaicl pate any problems, but he sal anyone who strayed from® parade route would be cobI dered law breakers. “We I going t o escort them and pro® them,” he said. SGLC leader Leon Halls* Folmar, a potential candid® for governor, was “so wild* may arrest us for the niere[£§ we decided to march.” The march began at Can. ton in Pickens County Feb,jfl pressure Congress intoextesii mg the 1965 Voting Rights if and protest the voting fr» convictions of Julia Wilder,® and Maggie Bozeman, twoMw Pickens County women.
