WASHINGTON — Two-
thirds of the nation’s cities —
many of them in the economical
ly depressed Frost Belt but
some in Texas — lose more
money every time military
spending is increased because of
unequal tax burdens, a new
study released Sunday says.
The study, in part of a series
by Employment Research Asso
ciates of Lansing, Mich., a pri
vate economic research firm, ex
amines the impact of defense
spending on the nation’s 266
major metropolitan areas.
The study, based on 1980 fi
gures from the Fax Foundation
and government statistics, com
pares the “tax burden” of each
Standard Metropolitan Statistic
al Area — the government’s
term for major urban centers —
with Defense Department ex
penditures in each area.
“Two-thirds of the metropo
litan areas of the United States
suffer an increasing net loss of
tax dollars every time the milit
ary budget is increased,” said the
report titled “Bankrupting
American Cities”.
“Of the 266 metropolitan
areas in the United States, 176
have a net loss in their balance of
payments with the Pentagon,” it
said. Thirteen of the losers are
in Texas.
“This situation means the fed
eral government acts as a giant
siphon Tunneling tax money out
of 176 metropolitan areas into
those which have large military
bases or very high military con
tracts,” said Dr. James Anderson
of Michigan State University,
author of the study.
According to the report, ev
ery major industrial state except
California has more metropoli
tan areas that lose than those
that gain as a result of military
spending. As a state Texas
gained overall.
But the industrial heartland
— the eight states running west
ward from New York to Wiscon
sin — “is being devastated by the
military tax drain.”
Two states — California and
Texas — contain 23 of the 90
metropolitan areas that gain
from the Defense Depart
budget.
Florida has 11 metrop
areas with net losses, t
six; Louisiana, five, and Ntr
Carolina, Tennessee, Alak
and Arkansas, four each.

“Among individual mein
litan areas, New Yorkandt
cago experience massivenetlj
ses,” the report said. “Newhl
will be drained of almost^
lion in fiscal year 1983 »1|
Chicago will lose over Si
lion.”
Detroit will lose nearly!!^
lion, the report said,
Houston; Newark,N.J.;
sburg; Cleveland; San Ftij
cisco; Milwaukee; Miami t
Kansas City, MO. will havtij
losses of over $1 billion.
Washington, D.C., wli
metropolitan area includesi
Pentagon and numerous mi
ary bases, leads the net gaini
with $5.6 billion more in mi
spending flowing into the
than it pays out to suppott

Expert says wide choices
forcing gasoline price down
United Press International
LOS ANGELES — Oil expert
Dan Lundberg says gasoline
prices are still falling nation
wide, mainly because of a pro
liferation of cash and credit card
choices.
“For so many years, the con
sumers had a choice of full or
self service,” Lundberg said.
“Now, they have almost double
the choices — full-service with
credit cards, or cash discount
prices, or self-service either cre
dit or cash, for examples.
“The price choices available
to motorists today between the
average regular leaded at self-
service and premium unleaded
at full-service is 27.4 cents a gal
lon,” he said.
The semi-monthly Lundberg
Survey of dealers in all 50 states
showed the average price for all
grades and Services was $1.26.7
per gallon, down 0.54 cents
from the Sept. 11 survey.
Regular unleaded at self-
service was stations $125.17,
down 0.78 cents and regular
leaded was $1.18.29 at self-
service, down 0.73, the lowest
average that grade has reached
in two years, Lundberg said.
Full-service regular leaded
was at $1.32.04, down 0.46
cents, and regular unleaded at
full-service was $1.37.87, down
0.40.
Regular grades, both leaded
and unleaded, account for more
than 80 percent of all gasoline
sold at retail.
