Democrats say Reagan causing pain, suffering United Press International DETROIT — Sen. Carl Levin, delivering the Democra tic response to President Reagan’s radio address from chilly Detroit, Saturday, invited Reagan to view the “pain and suffering” his economic prog ram has caused when he returns from his tropical vacation. The Democrats picked De troit, a city devastated by de pressed auto sales, for their re sponse to stand in stark contrast to the balmy Caribbean resort from which Reagan delivered his “fireside chat” radio address. Democrats dubbed the speech Reagan’s “surfside chat.” Levin, a first-term Michigan senator, said his state is “bleed ing economically” with 17 per cent unemployment. “The American people don’t mind the president traveling to the Caribbean for a vacation,” Levin said. “But they do mind him telling them that they have to travel — to abandon their communities and their families, flee from those regions of this country hardest hit by the reces sion and tramp across the high ways in search of work.” After delivering his speech from the studios of WXYZ radio, Levin said he thought Reagan could use an education on the severity of Michigan’s de pression. “I think its the best place for him to come,” Levin told repor ters. “He’s removed himself from the entire pain and suffer ing of his economic policies.” In his speech. Levin chal lenged Reagan’s remarks about the student loan program. “The president created an impression today — I think a wrong im pression — that there are only administrative cuts,” he said. In his speech from Barbados, Reagan denied he was “snatch ing away” grants and loans from millions of needy college stu dents, but said he was cutting administrative costs that result in more money for needy stu dents.

The cloud of silicon dioxide, also known as natural glass, first approached the area Monday, but was pushed back to the Gulf of Mexico by northerly winds. Wednesday, winds shifted and brought the ash back to Brown sville. Residents in the pre dominately Catholic city christ ened the day “Ash Wednesday.” In this last week of Lent, however, observers said the second dusting affected people of all religions indiscriminately. The extremely abrasive ash resembles very minute glass shards, scientists said. People have been advised not to wipe the ash away from their cars or to use windshield wipers w ithout water, because the ash could damage both glass and paint. The ash also made its way into some houses. An increase of patients com plaining of respiratory prob lems has been reported by hos pital spokesmen.

Stamp collectors could take licking in Falkland crisis United Press International .HOUSTON — There’s more nging on the outcome of the Ikland Islands crisis than just ernational politics: stamps lectors, it seems, have a stake it too. Stamp dealers coast to coast V on a run on the popular kland Island stamps, which depending on whether Great itain or Argentina prevails — Id jump manifold in value. It could go either way, deal ers say: Argentina could over print its domestic stamps with a Falklands designation, or take existing British Falklands stamps and overprint them. One of the first acts of a con quering government, says Bob Dumaine of the Sam Houston Philatelies group, is to change the stamps. Dumaine says Falkland stamps range in value from $6,000 for the 1933 “Rose and Black” down to $20 for current issue sets. “My bet is that Great Britain will prevail and that the supply of stamps during this time will end up being fairly valuable,” he said. But should Argentina prevail, Dumaine said stamps issued by the Falklands would not be very popular. “On a scale of one to ten, the Falklands would score a six (with British markings) and the Argies would be a one,” he said. sure, however, if the problems were caused by the ash or by the recent generally muggy weather affecting south Texas. Airline officials said the ash can cause problems for jet en- j gines. Braniff International and ' Southwest Airlines employees responded by changing air fil ters and oil constantly. Two air lines at Valley International Air port in Harlingen, 35 miles north of Brownsville, canceled 11 flights Monday because of the initial onslaught of ash. The ash has remained below 10,000 feet, however, and jets fly above that ceiling except on take-off and landing. Residents of south Texas Fri day hoped for a strong cold front with northerly winds to carry the ash into the Gulf. Na tional Weather Service forecas ters said extensive rains could also clear the area. MONDAY JL NIGHT =^e and gel i"’ Eill ten. ~iat gives away KENE COMPLY TATION Fun! Thrills! Excitement!
