Reagan policies stop
progress, official says
United Press International
HOUSTON — A former
Treasury official who says the
country’s economic problems go
back at least two decades con
tends the Reagan administra
tion’s current policies are setting
progress back even further.
C. Fred Bergstfcrn, a former
assistant secretary of treasury
under President Carter,
Wednesday called for the annul-

ment of President Reagan’s tax
cuts and the implementation of
a tax increase that would reduce
the deficit and “put the country
back on the road to economic
stability.”
“We cannot blame the cur
rent administration,” Bergstern
told members of the Center for
International Business, “but the
current policy is setting back our
progress, both at the domestic
and global levels.” he said. “It
looks rather grim. It is more se
rious than people realize.”
The former government of f i
cial’s statements were a direct
contradiction of predictions by
the Reagan administration.
Under-Secretary of the
Treasury Beryl W. Sprinkel,
who spoke Tuesday to the group
of international businessmen
attending the conference, said
the recession is coming to an end
and will be over by mid-June.
“We’ll look back on the
second quarter (of 1982) as the
beginning of recovery,” Sprink
el said.
Bergsten said he agrees with
some points made by Sprinkel,
such as a noted decrease in in na
tion and a decline in farm and
energy prices. But, he said, the
United States must get its own
domestic economy in shape be
fore it attempts to tackle the
problems of the world economy.

BOSTON — Epileptic chil
dren who remain free of sei
zures during four years of treat
ment probably can stop taking
drugs without suffering re
lapses, unless they fall into one
of four high-risk categories, a
25-year study shows.
“There’s no such thing as 100
percent proof they can (outgrow
epilepsy),” said Dr. Jean Holo-
wach Thurston of Washington
University in St. Louis, principal
author of the study, which was
published Thursday in the New
England Journal of Medicine.
“But I think the evidence is very

good. I think it’s very encourag
ing to parents, the data as they
stand.”
The study said patients were
likely to suffer seizures again if
they’d had epilepsy for a long
time before treatment was
started, if they had mental retar
dation or physical disability
caused by neurological disturb
ances, or if they had a certain
type of seizure or a combination
ol seizures.
