Relaxed cotton dust rules moved
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The
Reagan administration has
proposed cotton dust standards
be relaxed for so-called nontex
tile industries while strict en
gineering controls be retained
for textile manufacturers, offi
cials said Wednesday.
The Occupational Safety and
Health Administration will pub
lish its new proposals Friday in
the Federal Register, said
spokesman Akio Konoshima.
Public hearings on the proposed
changes are scheduled for Sep
tember and October in
Washington, Columbia, S.C.
and Dallas before the proposals
can become regulations.

Thorne G. Auchter said the
proposals call for the retention
of a permissible worker expo
sure standard of 200 micro
grams per cubic meter of air for
yarn manufacturing.
Textile firms will have to
meet the standard through en
gineering controls, which the in
dustry has called too expensive.
The industry contended worker
respirators were preferable to
the ventilation controls.
Slashing and weaving would
have a standard of 750 micro
grams of dust per cubic foot of
air.
However, standards would be
relaxed for knitting, classing,
warehousing, cottonseed pro
cessing and waste processing.
“OSHA has found no evi
dence of significant risk in the
industries proposed for exemp
tion, a finding we must make for
any permanent standard,” said
Auchter.
A standard of 1,000 micro
grams per cubic meter would be
retained for waste recycling,
blending, cleaning and sorting,
garnetting and mattress assem
bly, he said.
The proposed revisions are
expected to save the industry an
estimated $94.4 million in capit
al costs and $30.7 million in
annual operating costs, agency
studies indicate. An estimated
76,000 workers are employed in
the exempted nontextile indus
tries, leaving about 95,400 work
ers still covered by the strictest
standards. “We believe the
proposed changes will not only
resolve pending legal uncertain
ties and overcome existing tech
nical difficulties in enforcing the
current standard, but will be
nefit both the overall cotton in
dustry and the workers in
volved,” said Auchter.
Other proposed changes in
clude:
•Adding action levels of one-
half the permissible exposure
levels for the textile industry.
Training, monitoring, medical
surveillance and other require
ments will be reduced or elimin
ated for exposure below the ac
tion levels.

MIAMI — A long-sought
fugitive accused of seriously
wounding two FBI agents last
week surrendered voluntarily —
although he had vowed never to
be taken alive — to protect his
girlfriend and her baby, the FBI
says.
Clarence Eugene Robinson,
wanted for murder for nearly
six years, got out of a car in front
of the FBI’s Miami office Tues
day night and surrendered to
agent-in-charge Joseph V. Cor-
less. He was to appear before a
U.S. magistrate Wednesday.

Robinson, 38, is charged with
two counts of assaulting a feder
al officer. The state of Florida
wants him for the 1977 murder
of a deputy sheriff.
The surrender was set up by a
telephone call Tuesday after
noon to the Jacksonville FBI
that “just came out of the blue.
We did not expect him to sur
render,” Corless said.
He said the call came from a
Miami lawyer, who arranged the
surrender at the request of
Robinson’s woman companion.

Robinson had been the sub
ject of an intense five-day
search, with dozens of heavily
armed FBI agents, state and loc
al police officers swarming over
central and northern Florida.
They rousted guests from a De-
Land motel wliere the fugitive
had been reported, from a
campground where he had hid,
and descended on a remote
woodland spot where officers
finally discovered his getaway

Accuracy,
O’Neill expects Congress’ favor
for his $700 tax-cap proposal
United Press International
WASHINGTON — House
Speaker Thomas O’Neill says he
expects Congress will support
his proposal to limit the July 1
tax cut to $700, even though
President Reagan opposes it.
House Democrats agreed
Tuesday something must done
about the 10 percent tax cut
scheduled for July 1, but Demo
cratic Leader Jim Wright of
Texas said they postponed the
decision of whether to limit or
repeal it until the leadership
could tabulate the results of a
questionaire distributed to the
members.
Following the closed meet
ing, O’Neill said he expects his
party, which holds a majority in
the House, will endorse the tax-
cap proposal.
Under O’Neill’s plan, every
taxpayer would get a 10 percent
cut in tax rates, but no taxes
would be reduced by more than
$700. O’Neill said the limit,
which would affect mainly those
who earn more than $50,000,
would save $6 billion in 1984
and almost $7 billion in 1985.
O’Neill’s assertion that his
$700 tax cap would affect main
ly taxpayers with incomes over
$50,000 is based on a
return with deductions
ing 23 percent of adjusted
income.

WASHINGTON — The
FHA-insured mortgage interest
rate went up from 1 1.5 percent
to 12 percent Wednesdsy, the
first increase in the rate in more
than a year.
Housing and Urban De
velopment Secretary Samuel
Pierce Jr. said Tuesday that the
increase is necessary to keep
mortgage money flowing for
middle-income home buyers.
The Federal Housing Adminis
tration interest rate is the rate
allowed on federally insured
mortgages for single family
homes.
“Under the present rate,
many potential home buyers are
denied the more favorable
FHA-insured loans they need to
achieve home ownership,”
Pierce said.
But the increase, in some re
spects, is at least a temporary
blow to the administration’s in
