As Mondale spoke bluntly about the danger of nuclear war in a half- empty hall at the American Legion national convention in Salt Lake City, President Reagan told a confer ence in Chicago that the United States under his leadership had re gained hope and moved toward re storation of old values. The vice presidential candidates also were on the road in the middle of the first week of all-out cam paigning. Rep. Geraldine Ferraro remained on the West Coast to ap pear with Mondale later in the day in Portland, Ore.. Campaigning in Paducah, Ky., Vice President George Bush re sponded to Mondale’s vow to call So viet leaders as soon as he is inaugu rated, by saying, “Let him try.” Mondale said Reagan was the first president since Herbert Hoover not to meet with Soviet leaders, and added: “The issue is whether he has set on a course toward peace and a safer world. In my judgment, he has not.” Mondale said negotiations were vital for world survival — “Every day we fail to open negotiations witn the Soviets is another day we slip toward Armageddon.” He said if elected he would “declare a temporary mora torium and challenge the Soviets to join us.” “I am announcing now that on the very first day as president, I will call on the Soviet leadership to meet me within six months in Geneva for fully prepared, substantive negotia tions to freeze the arms race and to begin cutting back the stockpiles of nuclear weapons,” Mondale said. Mondale was interrupted several times by polite applause but spoke to about half of the 7,000 delegates and guests who applauded Reagan Lues- day. Reagan used the Chicago appear ance to argue that economic recov ery rather than increased taxes would reduce federal deficits, but primarily concentrated on the im provement in the national state of mind since 1980. Four years ago, he said, “it seemed to many that America’s well finally had run dry from a philoso phy of bigger and bigger govern ment. “The worst trauma was not the breakdown in our economy or the humiliating setbacks we suffered abroad,” Reagan said. “The worst thing was when they told us we couldn’t get well — that the prob lems were just too big and govern ment wasn’t to blame, we were to blame. “In the past few decades, many of us turned away from the enduring values — from faith, the work ethic and the central importance of the family,” he said. “We had something of a hedonistic heyday, but it’s pass ing. We’ve righted ourselves. Ameri cans hadn’t given up hope. We just hadn’t been allowed to hope.” Around town^ u Fish Aide application deadline extent Students interested in applying for the Student brnt; Freshman Aide program must do so before 5 p.m. FriAi Freshman Aide program gives students an opportunity w familiar with Texas A&M Student Government.

At a breakfast fund-raiser for first-time congressional candidate Tom DeLay, Ford urged Republi cans to “maximize” DeLay’s vote in the House by sending Rep. Phil Gra ham, R-Texas, back to Washington as a senator and re-electing Reagan. “Control of the U.S. Senate for the next two or four years is in doubt,” Ford said. “It is critically im portant that in the state of Texas we elect Phil Graham to retain Republi can control of the Senate.” Republicans currently hold 55 Senate seats to the Democrats’ 45. “You are leaders in your commu nity,” Ford said. "You have an obli gation to expand this influence, to make sure our government at the national level ... is in the hands of people with the right ideology. “The opposition doesn’t measure up,” he said of Democrats. “You can’t vote maybe on an issue. You have to vote yes or no.” Ford praised Reagan’s economic record, saying, “On me domestic is sues, President Reagan has earned the right to be re-elected." Noting that the next president will have to negotiate with the Soviet Union to reduce nuclear weapons. Ford said the country would be in a stronger position with both the B-I bomber and MX missile. He accused Democratic presi dential challenger Walter Mondale of wanting to give up both “without getting anything in return" from the Soviets. Ford said he hopes Reagan and Mondale will meet in two debates, and Vice President George Bush and Democrat candidate Geraldine Ferraro in one. I he thretde had with jimiiiy Garter ku; too much."
