=state Battalion/Page 10 November 11,1982 Reagan’s problems may cause tax hike United Press International HOUSTON — If the Reagan administration refuses to cut de fense spending and the Con gress refuses to allow more cut backs in social programs, major tax increases are likely, the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee warns. Rep. Dan Rostenkowski, D- 111., on Tuesday told delegates to the 1982 American Petroleum Institute’s annual meeting in Houston a major tax aimed at the energy industry is a strong possibility if the president fails to reduce defense spending. “The real choice facing the Reagan White House is between big defense cuts and big tax in creases. If he refuses to slow military budgeting, then he’s got to find a way to pay for it,” Ros- “The real choice facing the Reagan White House is between big defense cuts and big tax increases. ” — Rep.

He said voters, by maintain- iVHNK’S^ ivERSARX ing a Republican Senate and a Democratic House in the Nov. 2 general elections, have told Con gress they want a reasonable bipartisan approach to the budget and a “balance between the competing forces of Social Security, defense, taxes and de ficits.” Rostenkowski said an energy tax would be a prime option for Reagan because Congress will never allow the current adminis tration to pay for defense pro jects with Social Security funds. However, he said he is not convinced an energy tax is the best way to approach the coun try’s economic problems. He called on oil executives to encourage their lawmakers to approve such a balanced econo mic plan for the United States. 30TH ANNf SALf.

Defense lawyer praised United Press International The famed movie tough guy Humphrey Bogart had such sweet features as a child he was used as a model to sell baby food. Brown discusses verdict United Press International GALVESTON — In a jail in terview, Texas prison inmate Eroy Brown says he considers his acquittal in the drowning of a prison warden simple justice and not a personal victory. “I feel like the truth was brought out,” Brown said. “I don’t consider it a personal vic tory. I didn’t win or lose. I con sider it justice being done.” Brown, found innocent Tuesday in his retrial in the April 1981 death of Texas De partment of Corrections Ellis Unit Warden Wallace Pack, said he wept at the verdict because of mixed feelings. “I’m happy and I thank the jury for being fair, but perhaps I’ll have to go through this again,” Brown told the Houston Chronicle. Brown said he was reluctant to comment extensively because of the possibility he might be tried in the shooting of Ellis Unit Farm Manager Billy Max Moore in the same incident in which Pack died. “I realize the public has a right to know how I feel, but I have to be careful because my case is still under litigation,” Brown said. Brown praised defense lawyer Craig Washington, who was treated at a hospital emergency room last week for fatigue and tension. Washing ton had to lie down on the park ing lot outside the courtroom Tuesday because he was hyper ventilating. “That man has given so much of himself. He’s the only person I’m really, worried about right now,” Brown said. Brown claimed self-defense in the drowning of Pack, 54,in an April 4, 1981, confrontation on the Ellis Unit near Huntsvil le. He said Pack and Moore,49, attacked him for complain^ about not getting a furlough lit wanted. DID TIME MAGAZINE CREATE HERPES MADNESS? NOW...

United Press International DALLAS — The police chief and city council no longer want the arrest of people caught with small amounts of marijuana, preferring instead to give them a citation much like a traffic ticket. The proposal, included in the Dallas City Council’s legislative package for consideration by the Texas Legislature, was approved by the council with virtually no opposition. “It’s an effort on our part to handle it in a more efficient manner,” said Police Chief Billy Prince. “What we’re trying to do is keep as many officers on the street as we can.” Prince said the proposal re flects changing social values and conceded such an idea would not have been considered in Dal las a few years ago. Police offic ers support the idea, he said. Prince also said changing the current state marijuana la« would help reduce the City's overcrowded jail population, Currently, people caugkt with marijuana must be arrested. Police say, however, the practice ties up valuable police resources that could bel ter be used fighting more se rious problems. Under the proposal, for which the city will lobby in Au stin, people with less than l ounces of marijuana would be issued a citation, much like> traffic ticket, requiring an appearance in court on a specific date. The city does not seek to change penalties for possession of marijuana. Possession of two to four ounces is a Class A demeanor punishable by a year in jail and a $2,000 fine. In real' ity, however, most cases are cfo' posed of in court by fines and probated sentences. Relax, Have Fun, Enjoy o Enter a new wonderful world of excitement.
