VASIN \c; 1 ON — Sen.
n Melcher, leading a Senate
luster, said Wednesday that
iporters do not have enough
‘ es |o pass an administration-
ked natural gas decontrol
The Montana Democrat said
talkathon is really aimed at
cing backers of the legislation
tgree to major changes.
As the bill now stands,it
uld get only 29 or 30 votes, he
1.
The controversial measure
Is for total decontrol of natu-
gas prices after a three-year
nsition period during which
price of cheap “old” gas,
m Isvells drilled before 1977,
uld gradually be raised and
plice of more recently pro
ved “new” gas would be lo-
red
While the measure falls short
whai. President Reagan first
>posed, it has been endorsed
the administration.
Melcher and Sen. James
on, D-Neb., are leading a
htl against it because they
'jpose any increase in the price
old gas, now controlled by the
tuifal Gas Policy Act of 1978.
Sen. Howard Metzenbaum,
Ohio, said he also is opposed
lifting the price lid on old gas
t told the Senate he is not a
rty io the filibuster.
“I^hink it should come to the
orrfor a vote,” he said.
However, Metzenbaum said
will offer substitute retaining
ice controls on old gas. If it
Is ihe will offer a stripped
wn version, he said
At the same time, he vowed
; pending bill “will not be-
me the law of the land.”
The measure is supported by
Jinergy Gommittee’s chair-
in, James McGlure, R-Idaho,
cl its senior Democrat, J. Ben-
tt Johnston, D-La.
It was sent to the Senate on an
-9 vote of the panel — but
thout its endorsement.
$he Senate is scheduled to
te today on whether to limit
rrent debate on a motion to
<e up the bill. Even if that vote
cceeds opponents could
inch a new filibuster against
e bill itself.
Tigh court
tivalidates
i\ Paso will
United Press International
AUSTIN — A will written by
El Paso County man about six
eks before his death was
ided Wednesday by the Texas
preme Court which ruled
ionic heart disease had
used his mental capacity to de-
riorate.
The high court ruling
firmed a district court jury de
ion and reversed an opinion
the 8th Court of Appeals in El
iso.
James Croucher wrote the
II on July 7, 1980, leaving his
Hire estate to his wife. He died
ug. 12.
Croucher’s two sons by a pre-
ous marriage contested the
ill on the grounds that their
ither was mentally disabled be-
mse of diabetes and severe
eart disease.
A report from a nervous sys-
:m examination eight months
efore Croucher died con-
luded that his “memory was
ketchy and he seemed at times
onfused.”
Croucher’s wife testified that
er husband was clear-minded
n the day the will was drafted.
But the Supreme Court ruled
lat Croucher had a failing
icmory resulting from his
eart disease in March, before
ic will was written.
ed Coretta Scott King the pen
with which he designated the
third Monday in January a na
tional holiday in memory of her
husband.
Reagan had initially opposed
the legislation to create a 10th
federal holiday. The House and
Senate, however, overwhelm
ingly approved the measure.
At the signing, Reagan told
the White House gathering:
“In America in the ‘50s and
‘60s, one of the important crises
we faced was racial discrimina
tion. The man whose words and
deeds stirred the nation to the
very depths of our soul was Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr.”
Quoting King’s dramatic
1963 speech on the steps of the
Lincoln Memorial, Reagan said:
“I have a dream that one day on
the red hills of Georgia, the sons
of slaves and the sons of slaveow
ners will be able to sit down
together at the table of brother
hood.”
Reagan said that “if Amer
ican history grows from two cen
turies to 20, his words that day
will never be forgotten.”
Mrs. King said: “All right-
thinking people, all right-
thinking Americans are joined
in spirit with us this day.”
She also said that “America is
a more democratic nation, a
more just nation, a more peace
ful nation because Martin
Luther King Jr. became her pre
eminent non-violent com
mander.”
After the signing, guests be
gan signing “We Shall Over
come,” the civil rights anthem,
and the soft hymnal chorus swel
led row after row until the entire
audience, except for Reagan
and Vice President George
Bush, was on its feet singing.
Reagan and Bush shook
hands with the guests.
There was no mention by
either Reagan or Mrs. King of
the controversy the bill engen
dered before final congressional
approval by the Senate two
weeks ago.
At that time, Reagan told a
news conference he would have
preferred a day honoring King
on his Jan. 15 birthday without
creating a pational holiday.
He also declined to criticize
Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C., for
seeking to unseal FBI records
the conservative senator said
would show King associated
with Communists. Reagan said it
might take “35 years” to see if
Helms was correct.
