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.”

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.
