America needs to build beam
eapons for a strong defense
id a sound economy, Demo-
atk candidate George Cham-
rlain said Thursday at Texas
&M University.
“1 don’t understand the in-
nitvof us staying with conven-
jnal weapons,” the Granbury
emocrat said. “Beam weapons
ould introduce a whole new

dtion to realize the benefits.”

his advocacy of the Reagan
Administration’s policies.
Another issue that Chamber-
lain is concerned about is water
shortage. He said the best way to
solve this problem is to bring wa
ter down from Alaska and Cana
da. He said that at the peak of
construction of water transport
facilities about 100,000 jobs
woidd be created for laborers
and about 40,000 jobs would be
created for engineers. He said
that this would take care of
Texas’ water problems for the
next 100 years.
Chamberlain said that he is
more interested in addressing
the issues than talking about the
other candidates.

becoming patronizing,” he said.
“They pat you on the head and
say not to worry about the details
because they will take care of
them when they get to
Washington.”
He said that he differs from
Gramm in one fundamental way
when it comes to economic
policy.
“Phil Gramm is a monetarist
and I’m an American system
economist,” Chamberlain said.
“I believe that we have unlimited
resources. There is real wealth
in technology.”
A monetarist believes that
changes in the money supply
have the greatest predictable im
pact on levels of national in
come.
Chamberlain is a structural
engineer at the Comanche Peak
Steam Electric Station in Glen
Rose. He attended the Universi
ty of Texas at Arlington.
Arbor Day, a tree-planting
day observed yearly in most
states, has been observed in
Texas on Jan. 21 since 1889.
About 700 Texas-grown
seedlings of pine and live oak
trees have been donated for
Brazos County’s ceremony,
association president Dorothy
Miller said.
Beginning at 2:30 p.m.,
County Judge Richard Holm-
green will welcome citizens to
Brazos County’s first observance
of Arbor Day.
Eileen Kramer, committee
chairman for the program and
member of the Texas A&M Uni
versity Garden Club, said that
association president Miller will
talk about the history and mean
ing of Arbor Day during the
ceremony. Rick Ploeger, city
forester for College Station, will
explain how to plant and care
for the seedlings.
College Station temporarily
will plant its seedlings at its
arboretum, to provide them
with special care, Kramer said.
In Bryan, the larger trees will
be planted along the Municipal
Golf Course and in community
parks. During the ceremony, a
tree will be planted at the Brazos
Center to commemorate 1983’s
Arbor Day.
