COLLEGE STATION United Press International ATLANTA — The wife of Rep. Larry McDonald wants the U.S. government to take stron- ? er actions against the Soviet Inion than those recom mended by President Reagan, “to prove that the United States has not become a milquetoast nation.” “I’m angry and I want some action,” Kathy McDonald told reporters following Reagan's televised speech Monday night. Rep. McDonald, chairman of the John Birch Society and a nine-year Democratic member of the House from northwest Georgia, was among 269 people who died when a Russian fighter shot down a Korean Air Lines flight that strayed over Soviet territory. Mrs. McDonald said “We’ve got to do something strong.” She said the United States should cut off grain sales to the Soviets, stop tourism, and end gas pipeline equipment sales. “I think it was a very good speech that President Reagan made and I think it should make the American people furious,” Mrs. McDonald said. “Once again, we get a lot of rhetoric, signifying absolutely nothing. It was full of information about the incident, but nothing about what we’re going to do about it.” Mrs. McDonald, who is con sidering running for the 7th Dis trict congressional seat left vacant by her husband’s death, spoke briefly with reporters af ter watching Reagan’s speech. She said the sanctions she re commended would “at least put a crimp in their (the Soviets’) economic life.” Reagan promised in his 1980 campaign not to use grain as an economic weapon. McDonald opposed all trade with communist nations. “The president himself men tioned that they shot down an airliner in 1978,” Mrs. McDo nald said. “Are they going to make a habit of doing this every five years?” “I call upon the people who were watching tonight, and who were concerned about this situa tion, to write to their representa tives and the president and de mand action, not words.” ■HP DOUBLE (Cenle/i ADVERTISED ITEM POLICY Eoch o* th«»« o<Wn, rvquirvd to b« r»odilv ovailobl* tor tala m — tloro.

He said the problem was worse this year than it has been in past summers. Only one snake had to be killed by police during the holiday weekend, Waight said. He predicted Borger would get rid of its snake problem when the weather cooled. In the meantime, citizens finding snakes call police officers who snare the snakes and then have them destroyed. “They’re hunting us,” Waight said when asked about his department’s search for rat tlesnakes.
