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-

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.

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.

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.
