Walter Mondale took his foreign
policy and defense plans to a politi
cal lions’ den Wednesday and said if
elected president he will call on the
Soviet Union to join him in arms
control negotiations within six
months.
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.”

Ford says Texas crucial for GOP election

SUGAR LAND — Former Presi
dent Gerald Ford said, Wednesday,
that Texas is crucial to retaining Re
publican control of the U.S. Senate
and securing President Reagan’s re-
election.
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." Ford said.
