In one of his harshest denun ciations yet of the Democratic spending plan passed by the House, Reagan warned Con gress against scrapping the 10 percent tax cut scheduled for July 1 or income tax indexing set to begin in 1985. “To those who would consid er changing those tax laws,” he said, “I’m sleeping with a pen under my pillow, ready for veto.” Repeal of indexing and the final installment of Reagan’s 1981 tax cut are key elements of the House budget proposal, which also would trim his prop osed 10 percent increase in de fense spending to 4 percent and increase spending on domestic social programs. “I’ve never seen a budget by FI Atd tarting point’ found i fight against AIDS United Press International OSTON — Strange rosette- structures found in the of people with Acquired -^'•lune Deficiency Syndrome provide a “starting point” Onoiiftn attempt to find the cause ; ijia le deadly disease, according study released Thursday, 'ederal scientists using elec- ic microscopy discovered structures in lymph-node of men with AIDS and in losexuals with enlarged b ff i ph nodes common in the y stages of the syndrome.

He contended it would lead to higher interest rates and more government spending that would throw even more Americans out of work. The message of hope Reagan carried to Pittsburgh had several familiar rings. First, in emphasizing the em ployment potential of high tech nology industries, it sounded the same theme Reagan struck in his Jan. 25 State of the Union address and hammered away at in subsequent trips to Chicago and Boston. Second, and perhaps more significant, was the familiarity the rhetoric bore to the last speech Reagan made in Pitt sburgh — one month before the 1980 election — in which he ac cused President Carter of many of the same things his critics are saying about him today. At that time, as he did Wednesday, Reagan spoke of seeing “a hope for renewed growth.” Campaign tricks apology given United Press International AUSTIN — Austin city coun cil candidate George Humphrey has apologized for a series of “dirty tricks” committed by his former campaign manager against Humphrey’s runoff opponent. The pranks included sending unordered pizzas, taxicabs and a truckload of furniture to the campaign headquarters of Mark Spaeth, who Humphrey faces in an April 30 runoff. Jon Haslett, Humphrey’s ex campaign manager, admitted responsibility for the acts, saying, “I have a lot of growing up to do.” He said he resigned from Humphrey’s staff Tuesday. Haslett appeared at a news conference called by Spaeth Wednesday to denounce the campaign tricks. Humphrey, who led a field of eight candidates in last Satur day’s election, called the tricks “totally irresponsible,” and said he apologized to Spaeth. Spaeth said five unordered pizzas, five taxicabs and a truck- load of office furniture appeared at his offices last Fri day. On Monday, he said his telephones were disconnected and callers were referred to a city hall lobbyist. Spaeth said he would not press charges “as long as Mr. Humphrey makes a full disclo sure to the police, pays the dam ages and Mr. Haslett agrees to seek professional help for his personal problems.” “I’m not crazy,” replied Has lett, who said the tricks were in tended as an April Fool’s joke on Spaeth’s campaign manager, an acquaintance. “I see people here are trying to turn it into a campaign issue,” said Haslett. “I think that once it is known that George had no thing to do with it, it will not hurt his campaign.” OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOQ, 415 University w846-5816 will investigate it,” said Ewing. AIDS, believed to be caused by a virus passed through blood and semen, has primarily been found in homosexual men, Hai tians, drug addicts and hemophiliacs who have received tainted blood transfusions. Four new cases of AIDS are reported in the United States ev ery day, said Larry Zyla, a spokesman for the AIDS office at CDC. When the syndrome was first recognized at the end of 1981, one case was reported ev ery other day, representing a doubling of the number of cases every six months. rriNE JEWELRyi INTRODUCES THE: ADD-A-BEAD CLUB Now until May 15 you can become a member with $39 merchandise purchase and $10 membership fee.
