Sikorsky bids for Belgian
helicopter contract-plus
United Press International
STRATFORD, Conn. — Si
korsky Aircraft has offered to
build a helicopter manufactur
ing plant in Belgium in order to
win a $300 million helicopter
contract with the Belgian Army.
The Belgium army wants to
buy a fleet of 46 helicopters,
said a Sikorsky spokesman But,
he said, the company winning
the contract must agree to pro
vide benefits to the government
equal to the cost of the helicopt
ers.
Sikorsky, a division of United
Technologies Corp., said Mon
day, its offer was made to the
Belgian government late last
year by company president Wil
liam F. Paul.
Paul has offered his firm’s H-76
model, a recently militarized
version of the only commercial
helicopter the company still
produces, the S-76 Spirit.
Sikorsky’s offer will compete
against others from five firms
representing the United States,
France, Italy, Germany and
Britain.
Sikorsky will not disclose de
tails of Paul’s offer but con
firmed a trade report from
Brussels that said the proposed
plant would employ about
1,900 workers.

Krueger’s mistaken claims
important, opponents say
United Press International
AUSTIN — Democratic
Senate candidates Lloyd Dog-
gett and Kent Hance contin
ued their joint assault on
front-running opponent Bob
Krueger Tuesday by again
citing inaccuracies in Krueg
er’s campaign claims.
Although Krueger, a for
mer congressman, has char
acterized the inaccuracies as
minor oversights in a moun
tain of campaign materials,
both Doggett and Hance
tried during a televised de
bate to portray the errors as
important campaign issues.
The most frequently cited
error arose from campaign
materials in which Krueger
claimed he was voted most ef
fective new member of Con
gress “by his colleagues,”
when in fact the voting was
done by congressional em
ployees.
Hance, a Lubbock con
gressman, and Doggett, an
Austin state senator, also
have questioned Krueger’s
claim that he voted to create
the Department of Educa
tion, noting that Krueger was
not a representative when the
vote was taken.
Hance and Doggett agreed
that the mistakes were a valid
issue in the election.
On other matters, all three
of the candidates agreed that
steps should be taken to re
duce the federal budget defi
cit.
Doggett said he would
achieve a balanced budget by
reducing selected govern
ment programs and
doning the tax reductionpd
icies of the
Administration.
H a nee said economii
growth — not a tax increase
— is the only acceptablewi
to reduce budget deficitsaa:
he blamed the Federal
serve Board’s tight moneian
policy for the current deft
Hance also advocated;
freeze in government
ing at current levels, with tin
exception of Social Secura
and defense.
