Central American policy debate
going too far from reality: Reagan
PREPARE FOR: June
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Presi
dent Reagan complained Tues
day that the debate over his
Central American policy has
“strayed too far from reality” —
that communist expansion in
the region threatens U.S. secu
rity “from pole to pole.”
“We cannot ignore the conse
quences of passively watching
guerrillas force communist
dictatorships down the throats
of the people of Central Amer
ica,” he warned.
Reagan, his requests for more
military aid for El Salvador and
anti-Nicaragauan rebels stalled
on Capitol Hill, told about 100

Hispanic leaders at a White
House lunch, “If Central Amer
ica is lost, then our own borders
will be threatened.
“That’s why this issue is so
important to the security of our
people.
“A far-away totalitarian
power is committing enormous
resources to change the strate
gic balance of the world by
turning Central America into a
string of anti-American Soviet-
style dictatorships.”
Congress recessed for Easter
last week without acting on Rea
gan’s request for $62 million in
emergency aid to El Salvador
and $21 million in covert aid to
forces fighting the Nicaraguan
government.
Reagan, who two weeks ago
chastised Congress for “second-
guessing” his Lebanon policy,
bypassed Congress last week
and authorized more aid for El
Salvador.
Referring to El Salvador’s
battle with guerrillas backed by
Nicaragua, Reagan said, “If we
do not nave the courage and the
political will to help them coun
ter this power play, our friends
will lose their freedom and
America’s security from pole to
pole will be threatened.
“Debate on this issue has
strayed too far from reality. If
we mean to oppose communist
aggression then we cannot
throw every possible roadblock
in the way of Helping our peace-
triends defend

selves.
While Reagan saidlli

“supporting democraq,

“The focus of our c»
ment is countering

Tax returns for presidential
candidates made public
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Walter
Mondale’s income dropped
more than $116,000 last year
during his quest for the White
House, while Gary Hart added
nearly $8,000 and Jesse Jackson
is not saying whether his earn
ings rose or fell.
All three Democratic presi
dential contenders, who have
formed a chorus of protesting
voices over the nation’s tax
structure, freely took advantage
of numerous deductions to cut
the taxes they had to pay.
Mondale and Hart — who
both owed the federal govern
ment money — waited until the
Monday deadline to file their
returns. Jackson, who sought a
refund, mailed his forms in Jan
uary.
Mondale listed income more
than double that of either of his
rivals. In a joint return with his
wife, Joan, the former vice pres
ident reported overall earnings
of $316,330 for 1983, a sharp
drop from the $432,679t<
the year before. Mrs. Mi
earned $8,254 in spealiii
last year.
Hart’s total income las
was $ 113,286, up by
from 1982. The joint
with his wife, Lee, brow
$25,267 from a real estali
nership.
