SAN ANTONIO —The kick
off of a nationwide Hispanic vo
ter registration drive, described
as a nonpartisan effort to sign
up 1 million new voters, was
fueled by criticism of President
Reagan’s “cosmetic” efforts to
bolster his image with Hispanics.
New Mexico Gov. Toney
Anaya’s opening address Mon
day to launch the National His
panic Voter Registration Cam
paign was dotted with criticism
of Reagan’s policies on minority
issues.
Meanwhile, the chairman of
the Democratic National Com
mittee echoed complaints of
Reagan’s “insensitivity” to His
panics at an unrelated national
convention of state legislatures
also meeting in San Antonio this
week.
Vice President George Bush
was expected to counter the
Democrats’ remarks in an
address to the voter registration
conference Tuesday.
Anaya said that despite
Reagan’s “cosmetic activities de
signed to show he really likes
Hispanics,” his record was poor
on Hispanic issues.
“The president will be judged
by Hispanics on the impact of all
his policies on Hispanics — the
higher unemployment levels,
the cuts in food stamps, the cuts
in education funds, the back
tracking on 30 years of civil
rights progress,” he said.
“If President Reagan hopes to
gain the attention of the Hispa
nic community, he is going to
have to do a whole lot more than
serve tacos and enchiladas to
Queen Elizabeth,” Manett said
at a news conference during a
convention of the National Con
ference of State Legislatures.
Anaya drew wild applause
and a standing ovation when he
said Hispanics and other minor
ities could sway the 1984 pres
idential election.
The voter registration cam
paign is aimed at increasing the
number of Hispanic voters
nationwide from 3.4 million to
4.4 million by November 1984.

“The hands that historically
have picked the lettuce in this
country and the hands that his
torically have picked the cotton
in this country are the hands
that can pick the next president
of this country,” he said.
Democratic Party Chairman
Charles Manett promised his
party would provide funds and
manpower to the voter registra
tion drive, predicting three out
of every four Hispanic voters
would vote Democratic in 1984.
Its sponsors — the Southwest
and Midwest Voter Registration
Education programs and the
National Council of La Raza —
said the drive would entail send
ing non-partisan, Spanish
speaking volunteers door to
door in Hispanic communities
to sign up unregistered voters.
They said special attention
-y
would be focused on states such
as Texas, New York, California
and Florida that have both large
Hispanic populations and large
numbers of electoral votes.

MIDLAND — Down to just
one car in what was supposed to
be a 40-car convoy across the
country to emphasize health
problems for Vietnam veterans,
an organizer said he will try to
restart the caravan next week.
“I arrived in a one-car convoy
in Midland,” A1 Reynolds, vice-
president of the Austin-based
Brotherhood of Vietnam Veter
ans and coordinator of the con
voy, said Monday.
“In our enthusiasm in leaving
Houston, we were all so caught
in the emotion, I just didn't look
further ahead,” Reynolds said.
“We’re going to reorganize.
This time we’re going to try to
find out who will go how far.”
The group of about 150 Viet
nam Veterans in 40 vehicles be
gan the planned month-long
cross-country convoy in Hous
ton Saturday to generate public
support behind pending legisla
tion to provide medical care for
veterans exposed to Agent
Orange during the Vietnam
War.
Reynolds said sponsors plan
ned to re-start the convoy this
weekend from Midland.
“The bottom line is because of
health problems and trying to
hang on to their jobs, the Viet
nam Veterans who were with us
as far as Austin had to go back,”
Reynolds said.
An estimated 369,000 veter
ans nationwide who were ex
posed to the herbicide have
sought medical help for liver
problems, skin diseases and still
births and mutagenic birth de
fects in their children.
The veterans claim the Veter
ans Administration and the
Reagan administration have
been unresponsive to their re-
3 uests for help in dealing with
le problems.
Reynolds said sponsors still
hoped for the convoy to con
clude with a rally on the steps of
the nation’s Capitol in mid- or
late September.

DALLAS — Standard Oil Co.
of Ohio, one of the nation’s big
gest oil companies, plans to lo
cate a large “campus-like” re
search and development center
in the Dallas area, officials sa-y.
“It would be a campus-like
laboratory complex,” said SoHio
spokesman Bryan Coughlin.
“We are probably going to have
more of a presence in Dallas
than we have in the past.”
we produce almost 600,000 bar
rels of crude a day out of
Prudhoe Bay,” he said. “But in
the last six years we have ac
quired about five million net
acres of leases in the lower 48

“To my knowledge, we are
one of the few major oil firms
actively hiring exploratory peo
ple,” he said.
