Thurmond, the senior Re publican in the Senate, is an un abashed hawk on military mat ters and advocates an aggressive foreign policy of the type Reagan said he has shaped. “Under our administration,” Reagan said, “this nation is through with hand-wringing and apologizing.” State Republican officials said the event was one of the most successful Republican fund raisers ever held in the South east. A group of community activists countered it with plans to set up a soup line nearby to protest Reagan’s domestic poli cies. Showing no desire for a cease fire in the war of words between Washington and Moscow, Reagan said: “We don’t impris on political and religious dissi dents in mental hospitals. And we don’t cold-bloodedly shoot defenseless airliners out of the sky.” While urging bipartisanship in foreign affairs, Reagan’s de nounced critics of his economic policies. legs and an ingrowj nee he would play.

The two largest employee groups did not meet a Mon day deadline for acceptance of $18.5 million worth of stock, options on additional stock and 25 percent of com- any profits m exchange for 150 million worth of conces sions. Concessions requested in cluded pay cuts, increases in working hours and more fle xible work rules for manage ment. Continental has lost $400 million since federal air line deregulation in 1979, and is still in the red. Representatives of the Los Angeles-based Union of Flight Attendants, an inde pendent union representing the 2,300 Continental atten dants, met in Houston Mon day with Continental manage ment and presented a coun terproposal. Flight attendants’ spokes men said their union bylaws prohibit acceptance of con tract changes without a full vote of the membership, which would take at least two weeks. The company argued that the union leadership could accept the package. “The company was well aware of the balloting rules in volved in the flight attendant contract,” said Debbie Powell, a member of the UFA nego tiating committee. Members of the Washing ton-based Air Line Pilots Association met in executive session Monday, but did not meet with company manage ment, said pilot Dennis Hig gins. “There have been ongoing meetings since the proposal was made,” Higgins said. “But no meetings took place Monday.” After more than eight months of negotiations dur ing 1982, the 1,400-member pilot group signed a new con tract the company said gave it more than $80 million worth of productivity and pay con cessions through September 1984. The company’s new “cost restructuring” proposal last week called for $60 million more in concessions from pilots, $40 million from flight attendants, $30 million from ticket agents and $20 million from the machinists. The International Associa tion of Machinists had its con cessions imposed unilaterally by the company when it went on strike against Continental Aug. 13. Some 800 jobs were eliminated when the strike started. Talks are suspended. Other airlines have im posed cost restructuring plans involving employees. Commissioners bar Soviet ships, cargo United Press International ORANGE — Orange County Navigation and Port of Orange District Commissioners have voted to bar Soviet ships and Russian-bound cargo from the port because of the Soviet down ing of a Korean airliner with 269 people aboard, an official said Tuesday. Port Director Stephen Pomerov said nort offiriats on Monday unanimously passed a resolution condemning the Soviet Union conduct and “its belligerent attitude or no regret for its actions.” A five-member board of port officials voted to bar Soviet ships and Russian-bound cargo from the port until further notice. Pomeroy said the board’s ac tion was “just a good American gesture.” CLASS OF ‘84 T-SHIRTS FOR SALE Tuesday thru Thursday MSC 9 a.m.—5 p.in. 85.00 and 87.00 In a world filled with small tragedies, here’s one service that works well, is easy to understand and is priced properly.
