SHINGTON — President

ies begin to work and to di-
pointed threat at congres-
l opponents of his budget
ities.

leagan saw few of the protes-
many assembled by the
workers union, and made
a passing reference to them
speech intended to under-
his concern for Americans

y in transition.
Jleagan said the demonstra-
were “venting their confu-
and anger” out of frustra-
“And it’s no wonder they’re
used,” he said. “The eco-
y is getting better, but they
don’t see their prospects impro
ving.”
While there were no sharp
words for his critics across the
street, Reagan used the speech
to intensify the pressure on cri
tics in Congress who want to
reorder his budget priorities.
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.

“If it turns out to be a specific

proposal with a more flagrant
disregard for its consequences,”
Reagan said. 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.”

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.
