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.

bility in the Brownsville, area to
2.5 miles Friday.
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.

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.
