Budget Committee today prop

ly identical to one offered by
Chairman Pete Domenici, R-
N.M., but it also would roll back
forthcoming tax cuts.
The proposal, offered by
Sen. Ernest Hollings, D-S.C.,
differed from the plan unveiled
Tuesday by Domenici mainly in
its treatment of the 10 percent
tax cuts slated for this July and
July 1983.

Both plans, offered as alter
natives to the budget proposed
by President Reagan, were esti
mated to produce deficits in the
range of $90 billion next year.
Reagan forecasts a deficit of
$101.9 billion under his budget,
but the Congressional Budget
Office puts the figure at $132
billion.
Hollings and Domenici both
propose freezing Social Security
and other benefits for one year.
Hollings recommended trim
ming Reagan’s defense budget
slightly more than the $5 billion
proposed by Domenici.
The fate of the tax cut has
been a major point of conten
tion, with Democrats urging a
rollback or elimination of the
1983 installment and Reagan
unyielding in his belief that the
cut is essential to economic
growth.
On Tuesday, Domenici de
scribed his budget proposal —
offered without the blessing of
either the White House or the
rest of the Senate GOP leader
ship — as “a good starting

World’s Fair glitter
dimmed for some
slowed economy
United Press International
KNOXVILLE — Droves of
down-on-their-luck Americans
have found even the glitter of
the World’s Fair tarnished by
the recession. Job seekers are
lining up for handouts, trinket
peddlers are folding up shop
and parking spaces are a dime a
dozen.
The Rev. Anna Mae Denton
operates the Faith Home Mis
sion Church out of a rundown
red brick building two blocks
from the 72-acre fairgrounds.
She says she’s never seen the city
so overrun by people in search
of work.
“They are just coming here in
droves,” Denton said Tuesday as
she handed one man a dollar to
help tide him over.
“They thinkjobs are available
because of the fair. They get
stranded. They run out of gas,
they run out of food, they have
no place to stay. I’ve done this
work 34 years in this city and I’ve
never seen anything like it,” she
said.
Fair spokesman Marc Gross-
man said about 5,000 people
have been hired to work at the
exposition, which started a six-
month run Saturday.
Officials gave preference to
local residents.
“What can I say? We have an
obligation to the local folks,”
Grossman said. “There are only
so many jobs."
While the jobless are coming
to town, World’s Fair trinket
? eddlers are pulling up stakes.
he city put 22 spots on the auc
tion block last month and drew
100 bidders who paid between
$ 1,000 and $20,000 for the right
to set up shop during the fair.
“People have taken their life
savings to pop up stands on ev
ery corner around here,” said
Jean Powell, who hawks fudge
on a downtown street corner.
“I’m afraid it’s going to get
really pathetic,” she said. “Peo
ple aren’t walking the streets
around here. Tourists go
straight to the fairgrounds and
stay there.”
