Reagan
agrees
with pope
United Press International
WASHINGTON — President
Reagan opened Captive Nations
Week Monday with a blistering de
nunciation of “communist totalita
rianism” and aligned himself with
Pope John Paul II in singling out Ni
caragua for special reproach.
“We condemn all tyrants who
deny their citizens human rights,
whether they be dictators of the left
or the right,” he said in ceremonies
marking the signing of the Captive
Nations Week proclamation.
But his barbs were reserved for
“communist totalitarianism.” He de
manded a full accounting on the sta
tus of Soviet dissidents Andrei Sak
harov and his wife, Elena Bonner.
And he sought to pressure Congress
for money for CIA-backed rebels in
Nicaragua.
“Peace is our highest aspiration,”
Reagan said. “But we stand for
peace with freedom and for peace
with dignity.”
“To those who believe our policy
must always be willful ignorance of
ugly truths, must be silence in the
face of persecution, and appease
ment or surrender to aggression, I
say that price is far too steep and we
dare not and will never pay it,” he
said.
The East Room ceremony was at
tended by ethic leaders — most of
them immigrants from Eastern Eu
ropean nations under communist
dominion and many of them Catho
lic.
Reagan noted that the pope re
cently disapproved of the Marxist
Nicaraguan government’s inclusion
of the Catholic Church on its list of
“enemies.”
“I know I speak for millions of
Americans who join the Pope in say
ing we, too, disapprove; and yes,
people of Nicaragua, we, too, suffer
with you,” Reagan said.
He suggested that members of
Congress who have refused funds
for the CIA-sponsored Nicaraguan
rebels “to reflect on the fatal conse
quences of complacency and isola
tionism.”
“It’s vital for the sake of our own
future that the Congress and the
American people respond to the
democratic aspirations of the Nica
raguan people,” he said.
He told the ethnic leaders at the
ceremony that they had seen “the
full gamut of totalitarian terror” and
pledged, “I’ll be proud to stand by
you always.”
r . White speaks
to ‘shirt-sleeve’ democrats
United Press International
SAN FRANCISCO — Gov. Mark
White, in one of his first appear
ances before a national audience,
said Monday the Democratic Party is
"a shirt-sleeve parly” that embodies
the aspirations of the poor, minori
ties and the elderly.
“We have never been a slick-pack
aged party or a lockstep or a rich
party, or a party whose platform is
dictated from the citadels of power”
White said during his introduction
of New York Gov. Mario Cuomo,
the convention’s keynote speaker.
“We are a big, brawling, diverse, vi
sionary shirt-sleeve party. We are
the party to which people turn when
they want to be heard.”
White, who defeated former Re
publican Gov. Bill Clements in
Texas’ 1982 Democratic landslide,
also blasted the GOP as exclusionary
and unresponsive.
“The Republicans have proven
that theirs is a government of the
privileged few. Ours is a govern
ment of the many,” he said. “The
Republicans have given us govern
ment that says to the people, ‘no.’
We have always led from the convic
tion that our clarion call is ‘the peo
ple, yes!’”
White also dismissed some politi
cal analysts’ suggestion that the
Democratic Party is out of touch
with American voters.
“The hopes and dreams of the
Democratic Party are the hopes and
dreams of the American people,” he
said. “And that is why in 1984 we are
going to elect the first woman vice
president in American history —
Geraldine Ferraro.”
White was effusive in his praise of
Cuomo and said there were parallels
in their respective political careers.
“I take special pride in introduc
ing Gov. Cuomo tonight, because we
are both new governors, elected by
broad coalitions over reactionary Re
publicans straight from the Reagan
mold,” he said. “There is not a better
person to sound the keynote for this
convention in this year.”
Cuomo won office in 1982 by de
feating GOP candidate Lewis Lehr-
man, a millionaire drugstore mag
nate.
Democrats
* V
(continued from page 1)
House “one by one, the agreements
negotiated in the past, by both Dem-
Wf ocrals and Republicans, have been
either repudicated or ignored.”
“A new nuclear arms race is al
ready well under way,” Carter
warned thousands of Democrats
packing the Moscone convention
center and millions more watching
on television.
Carter also brought up a central
part of his own administration —hu
man rights. “Our government, I am
sorry to say, has withdrawn from this
battle in recent years,” he said.
Following Carter was New York
Gov. Mario Cuomo, who in a barn
burning keynote address denounced
the Reagan administration for allow
ing millions Americans to suffer in
poverty, hunger and dispair while
giving tax breaks to the rich and big
business. He painted a stark philo
sophical contrast between the na
tion’s two political parties.
“The Republicans believe the
wagon train will not make it to the
frontier unless some of our old,
some of our young, and some of our
weak are left behind by the side of
the trail,” Cuomo said. “We Demo
crats believe that we can make it all
the way with the family intact. We
have. More than once.”
“Ever since Franklin Roosevelt
lifted himself from his wheelchair to
lift this nation from its knees. Wagon
train after wagon train. To new
frontiers of education, housing,
peace. The whole family aboard.”
Cuomo said Reagan has turned
American into a “tale of two cities,”
with policies that “divide the nation
into the lucky and the left-out, the
royalty and the rabble.”
Bob Beckel, Mondale’s campaign
manager, met with Jackson Monday
and said afterward “it’s possible” a
three-way meeting among the Dem
ocratic rivals could be set up, but in
dications were that one-on-one ses
sions or a group get-together might
not come until Tuesday or later.
“We believe the key to success, to
victory in November is open and ac
tive communication and cooperation
now and we believe that communica
tion has been established,” Beckel
said.
Earlier, at the Powell and Market
Street intersection where the city’s
cable cars begin their “climb halfway
to the stars,” the ticket-to-be greeted
cheering supporters and Mondale’s
introduction of Ferraro, a three-
term New York congresswomen,
elicit wild cheering.
Mondale and Ferraro’s first stop
was at a Democratic women’s group
where they received a tumultuous,
screaming welcome.
Mondale told the audience the
election is “above all about our fu
ture. To be an American is to believe
in the American dream. It must be a
dream for everyone — not just about
some. That’s what the Mondale-Fer-
raro administration is all about.
“Every time America has opened
the door, we’ve found that we were
stronger,” he said. He added that
Ferraro “symbolizes this next door
that we are about to open in Amer
ica.” i
Paraphrasing a John Kennedy
line, Ferraro said, “What this ticket is
all about ... is not what America can
do for women, but what women can
do for America.”
“We need your help,” she said.
“Are you with us?”
“Yeah,” the crowd screamed.
The audience then began clap
ping in cadence and shouting, “Ger
ry, Ger-ry.”
The 3,933 voting delegates gath
ered in a gigantic underground con
crete convention hall named after
late Mayor George Moscone.
Some 50,000 peace advocates
tried to gain the attention of the del
egates by matching the hoopla inside
the hall with a giant rally with music
and speeches outside.
Jackson, in a pep talk to 200 of his
delegates about the platform fight,
he said, “We don’t have to win. We
just have to keep our self-respect.”
As he roamed the city in a largely
vain search for delegates. Hart
warned Democrats not to wage a
“checkerboard campaign •”
