Texas A&M Battalion Serving the University community Vol. 76 No. 29 USPS 045360 12 Pages College Station, Texas Monday, October 11, 1982 Reagan to visit Dallas United Press International SANTA BARBARA — President Reagan, facing a barrage of criticism for an upsurge in unemployment, in tends to stress his “dramatic progress” in lowering interest rates and infla tion in the waning weeks of the con gressional campaign, aides indicate. After spending a relaxed weekend at his mountaintop ranch, Reagan flies to Dallas today for two political appearances in support of Republi can senatorial candidate Rep. James Collins, who has an uphill battle against incumbent Democrat Lloyd Bentsen. Afterwards Reagan will head back to Washington, where he will spend the rest of the week, highlighted by a nationally broadcast “progress re port” on the economy at 7:30 p.m. EDT Wednesday. White House spokesman Larry Speakes has labeled the address “non partisan,” but speaker Thomas O’Neill already has made a protest to all three major networks for giving Reagan time for what he calls “a pa tently political address for an elec tion.” NBC said it will air the address, but a spokesman for CBS said “no final decision” had been made although it was “likely” the network will carry the address. ABC said it was undecided. The harshest criticism for Reagan Sunday came from AFL-CIO Presi dent Lane Kirkland. “Never before in history have two crack-brained theories like supply- side economics and cultist monetar ism had a more extensive trial and been proved so wrong, to the great harm of so many people so quickly,” said Kirkland during an appearance on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” Chief of Staff James Baker said in a broadcast on ABC-TV Sunday that Reagan deplores the 10.1 percent un employment “and we’re going to do what we can to remedy that situation.” But, he added, “We’re making dra matic progress on two fronts — infla tion has been reduced by over 50 per cent, and interest rates are down by some 40 percent.” Baker also insisted that the 11.3 million people out of work would not be a dramatic election issue or “a watershed event” as far as the ballot ing on Nov. 2 is concerned. He said the administration does not believe it will be hurt badly be cause it had been anticipated for some time that the jobless rate would top 10 percent. Furthermore, he said that “the 99 to 100 million Americans who are em ployed are considerably better off than they were two years ago by reason of increased purchase power. “Their taxes are down and infla tion is down, and they’ve got more real take-home pay,” he added. Reagan’s political advisers and the GOP campaign committees were working out the final stages of the president’s participation in the cam- paign. So far, only one other date has been set for the president to travel. He will fly to Peroria, Ill., Oct. 20 for an appearance in support of Rep. Bob Michel, the House Republican leader, and the following morning will fly to Omaha, Neb. ck passes, Dflenseaiidi Movie "Pacifit Inferno" Movie; "Flnt Monday if Octobff" Andfew!'

It is simply a case of everything that goes up eventually comes down. It doesn’t orbit. What we see on televi sion are pre-arranged movies made in studios.” But why would the United States perpetuate such a “myth?” “The space program keeps the myth alive that the world is round,” he said. “You must have a total lie, not a partial lie. In order to keep the hoax alive, they staged the moon landing, and of course we all know that was a lie and that it never happened. “Now they keep telling us the shut tle is orbiting the world, but it is just falling down.
