I DALLAS — Vice President George Bush
says Reaganomics has cut taxes, inflation
and the fedeaal budget, but noted only the
election of fiscally conservative Republi
cans will keep the system on track.
“The question the electorate must now
decide is whether the gains will be per
fected,” Bush told a partisan crowd late
Sunday at a Dallas-Fort Worth airport
fund-raiser.
He said the average American family
paid $2,000 less today in taxes than it did
during the Carter administration and that
interest rates and inflation were headed
down.
He ticked off a list of GOP achievements
made in the economy during the last two
years, proof Republican policy was super
ior to its Democratic alternative.
“In the last two years our administation
has cut the rate of growth of federal spend
ing in half,” he said.
He said Sen. John Tower, R-Texas, a
fund-raiser guest, was an example of how
the election of conservatives had produced
changes in defense policy:
“Because he (Tower) is there,
we’re able to move forward on sound de
fense policies for America. But in the same
committee (Armed Services) in the House,
it’s like pulling teeth.”
The speech, part of a campaign swing
through Texas, was on behalf of Republi
can congressional candidate Jim Brad
shaw. Guests paid $150 per plate. The re
ception was attended by such conservative
luminaries as Texas Rangers baseball team
owner Eddie Chiles and Fort Worth mil
lionaire T. Cullen Davis.
A campaign aide for Bradshaw called
the November congfuonal elections a pub
lic judgment on Reaganomics.
“It’s a referendum on President
Reagan, his program and his administa
tion,” he said. “It’s close. We don’t have any
trouble admitting that.”

FORT WORTH — A recently
discovered 1849 daguerreotype
of President James Knox Polk is
featured in “Masterworks of
American Photography: The
Amon Carter Museum Collec
tion,” museum officials said
Monday.
The images, made by a vaga
bond American photographer
in Mexico in early 1847, are not
only the earliest photographs of
war but the earliest examples of
photojournalism, since photo
graphy was invented just eight
years before, officials said.

NEWTON, Kansas — The
eneral Conference of the Men-
omite Church has tentatively
ended to hold off on a lawsuit
ianned against the Internal Re-
enue Service to protest the col
ection of tax dollars for war.
Vein Treheim, speaking for
he church, said the denomina-
ion’s general board decided
arlier this month to hold off on
the lawsuit. However, the final
decision is to be made in August
at the church’s triennial session
in Bethlehem, Pa.
Since Mennonites oppose
war, the church wanted legal
permission for employers to
honor the requests of employees
who did not want federal taxes
withheld from their paychecks
to be used for war.
“The main reason (for the de
lay) was that we were told by our
legal counsel that our chances of
accomplishing what we had
hoped were very slim,” Treheim
said.
He added that the church
lawyer, William Ball of Harris
burg, Pa., doubted the Menno
nites’ case would be successful be
cause of a recent Supreme Court
ruling on religion and tax.

RISING STAR — The city’s
:offers have only $14.86, but the
hief of police — whose two-man
bree has a higher annual budget
han the entire town’s revenues
says he’ll stay on the job as long
I’m going to hang on as long
s i can even without pay,” said
hief Curtis McGlothlin, who
ans the department along with
fficer Dennis Hill. “We will con-
ihue to support the citizens of
Rising Star as long as we can.”
Mayor H.L. Killion said only
$14.86 was left in the general
fund that pays police, fire de
partment and administration
salaries in the community of
1,000.
No paychecks were distributed
Friday.
The proposed budget for fis
cal 1982-83 allots $53,000 to the
police department. But, Killion
said, tax revenues will total only
about $44,000.
“We need a police depart
ment, but we also need a budget
we can live with,” Killion said.
Robin Reed, a cafe owner, has
formed a committee to try to se-
until the town meeting next
Monday.
Reed attributes the town’s
problem to the unwillingness of
present and past councils to in
crease taxes and utility rates.
