United Press International
, WASHINGTON — Consum
er prices went up only 0.2 per
cent in September, the Labor
Department said Tuesday, and
economists said 1982 may finish
ivith the lowest inflation rate in
JO years.
j The September increase, re
flecting a series of falling prices,
would amount to an annual in
flation rate of only 2.1 percent,
department analysts said.
The inflation rate on an
annual basis has reached only
4.8 percent. Before seasonal ad
justment it was only 4.2 percent,
department analysts said.
Analysts said that it matches
the 1976 rate, lowest in the past
decade.
If price moderation con
tinues, as government analysts
expect, 1982’s annual rate could
drop to the lowest since the 3.4
percent rate in 1972.
Georgia State University eco
nomist Donald Ratajczak, a lead
ing analyst of the government’s
Consumer Price Index, said of
the September figure, “Ten
years of accelerating inflation
have been reversed. It now
appears that the CPI for 1982
will increase at the lowest rate
since 1972.”
The September slowdown
was helped by actual production
declines in a wide variety of
goods and services, including
mortgage loans, houses, fuel oil,
gasoline, tires and vegetables.

Reagan wants time, hope

United Press International
RALEIGH, N.C. — Presi
dent Reagan Tuesday urged
Americans to vote their
hopes, not their fears, and
asked for more time to solve
the unemployment problem.
In remarks prepared fora
Republican rally at Raleigh’s
Civic Center, Reagan lashed
out at Democrats, saying, “We
are clearing away the econo
mic wreckage dumped in our
laps.
“We have begun to hand
cuff the big spenders, get the
federal government off your
backs, promote economic re
covery and put you, the peo
ple, back in charge of your
country again.”
Reagan said his “still
young economic program

h eady helped the econo-
“Do you think that prog
ram deserves a little more
time to fix the one remaining
problem — unemployment —
so we can put people back on
the job, and get America back
on her feet?” he said. “In that
case, I urge you, when you are
in that voting booth next
Tuesday, vote for your hopes,
not your fears.”
Reagan went to North
Carolina, home of conserva
tive Republican Sen. Jesse
Helms and the powerful $10
million Congressional Club,
to promote Helms-backed
congressional candidates at a
rally. He also conducted a
fund-raiser expected to bring
in $70,000, met with I 1
Southern GOP chairmen and
presented singer Kate Smith
the Medal of Freedom.
Reagan, whose 1976 North
Carolina presidential primary
victory was his first of the sea
son and kept alive his political
hopes, also mentioned two of
Helms’ favorite subjects, abor
tion and school prayer, in his
remarks.
Reagan’s speech opening
the final week of the cam
paign was a composite of
themes he has sounded in sev
eral weeks on the political trail
— a strong defense of his poli
cies.
“Together, we have pulled
America back from the edge
of disaster,” Reagan said. “Of
those five critical problems
that we inherited — runaway
spending, runaway taxing,
double-digit inflation, record
interest rates and high unem
ployment — we have already
made solid progress on four,
and that’s a pretty good begin
ning.”

volving “negotiated bilateral
deep cuts.”
The committee Monday re
leased a second draft of its con
troversial 110-page pastoral let
ter, “The Challenge of Peace:
God’s Promise and Our Re
sponse,” which the nation’s 300
Catholic bishops will debate in
their annual meeting next
month. It will be voted on at a
special meeting to be called next
spring.
“As clearly unsatisfactory as
the deterrent posture of the Un
ited States is from a moral point
of view, use of nuclear weapons
by any of the nuclear powers
would be an even greater evil,”
the draft letter said.
The bishops urged removal
“by all parties” of nuclear
weapons from border areas such
as Europe, deep cuts in the nuc
lear arsenals of both the United
States and Soviet Union, and
support for a comprehensive
test ban treaty.
“In light of the evidence
which witnesses presented and
in light of our study, reflection,
and consultation, we are sure of
one moral imperative we should
declare: a rejection of nuclear
war,” the draft letter said.
But it said there is “much less
clarity how we translate a ‘no’ to
nuclear war into the personal
