AUSTIN — President Reagan
and Vice President George Bush,
meeting in the Texas capital for
their first joint campaign appear
ance outside Washington, will ad
dress supporters today at an outdoor
rally that also will include country-
western music and 25-cent hot dogs.
Reagan is scheduled to fly into
Austin at 12:10 p.m., preceded at
11:45 a.m. by Bush, who was in seve
ral Texas cities for campaign ap
pearances on Tuesday.
The two then will speak at a brief
half-hour rally at 12:30 p.m. on the
banks of a downtown lake. The rally
is set to begin at 10:30 a.m. with mu
sic by Pasadena singer and nightclub
owner Mickey Gilley and an appear
ance by the Houston Oilers
cheerleaders.
Reagan and Bush are scheduled
to meet with Sen. John Tower, R-
Texas, co-chairman of the Re^gan-
Bush campaign in Texas, before
Reagan departs for another cam--
paign appearance in Atlanta and
Bush heads back to Washington.
The local Reagan-Bush campaign
office printed 120,000 free tickets to
the rally to distribute to the public,
although organizers said they did
not expect more than a few thou
sand people at the rally.
“The objective here is not to shel
ter the president from citizens who
want to see their president,” said
Linden Kettlewell, executive direc
tor of the Reagan-Bush Texas cam-
paign.
Kettlewell described Austin as
“the home turf for a lot of Demo
crats and independents who share
the concern that the (Democratic)
Party has left them behind.”
Although former President
Jimmy Carter carried Travis County
in the 1980 election, Reagan carried
Texas with 58 percent of the vote.

thought
A thought for the day: Egyptian
statesman Anwar el-Sadat said “Most
people seek after what they do not
possess and are thus enslaved by the
very things they want to acquire.”

Photos were ‘Miss America’s idea
United Press International
NEW YORK — Penthouse pub
lisher Bob Guccione said Tuesday he
felt sorry for Vanessa Williams but
said it was her own idea to pose for
the sexually explicit photographs
with another woman that cost the
former Miss America her crown.
“The photographs were taken at
her request,” Guccione said in an in
terview with United Press Interna
tional. “She wanted . to break into
modeling. It was even Vanessa her
self who said I want to do pictures
with this other girl — she thought it
was sexy and cute.
“I didn’t take my clothes off. She
did,” he said.
Guccione estimated he would
make up to $10 million on sales of
4.5 million copies of the September* 1
issue.
Williams, 21, of Millwood, N.Y.,
denied giving permission for the
publication ol the pictures she posed
for when she was 19. She said she
gave up her title because she did not
“want any kind of battle or fight or
division with the people who sup
ported me.”
“I know it was a mistake, of
course,” she said on NBC. “The
tears came. It was rough. And now
I’m ready to wbrk and move on.
This is rock bottom and there’s no
where else to go but up.”
Williams, the first black Miss
America and the first in the pag
eant’s 63-year history to be de
throned, gave up her crown Monday
under pressure from pageant offi
cials after the sexually explicit pho
tos of her and the other woman were
printed in Penthouse.
Guccione said a Chiapel reprew

United Press International
NEW YORK — After trying un
successfully to rally several times, the
stock market plunged to a 17-month
rffering
low while suffering its fifth consec
utive loss Tuesday in sluggish trad
ing.
Brokers said a late afternoon sell-
off in bellwether General Motors
stock had a domino effect on other
blue-chip issues in a session filled
with uncertainty about the course of
the economy and interest rates.
The Dow Jones industrial aver
age, up 3 at the outset after losing
4.75 Monday, plunged 10.05 to
1,086.57.
The Dow has lost 36.33 the past
five sessions and is down 200.07
since hitting its 1984 high of
1,286.64 on Jan. 6.
General Motors, a component of
the Dow Jones average, was the third
most active issue, losing 2 Vs to 64 %.
Apparently some analysts have low
ered their second-quarter earnings
estimates for the auto giant because
of a metal workers strike earlier this
year in West Germany.
' ' ’ ' tne
GM officials said they knew of no
reason for the drop. David Healy of
Drexel Burmham Lambert said he
thought the drop “might be a little
bit of nervousness about the second
quarter earnings and all the publicity
about the labor negotiations.”
The New York Stock Exchanj
index, which also contains Cl
