Steel workers union criticizes Reagan, says he will suffer for import decision United Press International WASHINGTON — Lynn Wil liams, president of the United Steel workers of America, said Wednes day President Reagan’s steel import decision further harms America’s steel workers but the president will be punished at the polls. “I think the future of the steel in dustry remains in jeopardy,” said Williams. “I am deeply disappointed in the president’s failure to grant prompt import relief to the domestic steel industry.” He said the United States, unlike other major world powers, seems willing “to let the most basic industry of an industrial nation slip into obliv ion.” Reagan Tuesday refused to grant import protection sought by Ameri can steel makers but promised to seek voluntary agreements with ex porting nations to prevent “surges” of unfairly traded steel into the U.S. “The president had an opportu nity to develop a comprehensive, en forceable, effective program to re store jobs of American steel workers and strengthen a crippled industry,” Williams said. “He has rejected this opportunity.” Asked about Reagan’s re-election prospects, Williams said, “I don’t think he can carry the steel industry states and I don’t think he can carry the country. “I believe there’s terrible hurt out there in the land” and people will vote against Reagan because of it, Williams said. “From our point of view ... the (president’s) program is all too remi niscent of past failed promises to deal with the steel import problem. Optimism, now, is again based on a mere promise,” Williams said. “But 200,000 unemployed steel workers, and another 200,000 whose jobs are in jeopardy, are entitled to more.” Williams said Reagan “has pre sented a statement that may have po litical advantage leading up to the election” but Reagan’s assurances may “evaporate” later. “President Reagan adds nothing to the plight of displaced steel work ers,” Williams said. “I’m certainly very concerned” that Reagan may “back away” from his promises after the election be cause “there’s no legal requirement” that the assurances be kept. Williams said steel workers have been made promises before and watched as imports climbed from 10 percent to 24 percent of U.S. con sumption while many lost their jobs and homes. Williams spoke against a backdrop of mail bags of petitions which he said contained 200,000 names asking House Speaker Thomas P. o’Neill for passage of the Fair Trade and Steel Act. Williams met with the speaker and other congressional leaders prior to his news conference and said O’Neill reiterated his support for the com prehensive measure. Williams, accompanied by a large delegation of steel workers, said the petitions were signed by his union’s members in Pennsylvania, Illinois, Alabama, Galifornia, Indiana, Ohio and Texas. While Williams was speaking, the House Steel Caucus voted unani mously for a resolution calling for immediate action on the union-sup ported steel measure, which has lan guished in committee for months. The legislation would limit impons to 15 percent of the U.S. market. Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., chair man of the group’s executive com mittee, said steel state congressraea were not convinced that Reap would follow through on his pre gram. “We have been through this be fore,” he said, “where action is promised before the election ami nothing happens after the election. Aides to Sen. John Glenn, & Ohio, distributed a statement atWil hams’ news conference saying: “la short, President Reagan’s latest sttd policy can be summarized at three H’s.’ It’s hokum, ho-hum and hood wink.” Glenn said, “The American steel industry is flat on its back — beaten down by a relentless tide of unfair!) traded foreign steel — and all the president offers is a shrug of hit shoulders and a sleight of hand.” County officials support suit to remove sheriff United Press International SIERRA BLANCA — Hudspeth County officials said Wednesday they hope the sheriff — indicted by a federal grand jury on drug charges — would be removed from office by a civil suit. Sheriff Michael Fenton Arm strong, along with informer James Curtis Newsom, were charged with 12 counts of conspiracy and posses sion with intent to distribute mari juana. Hudspeth County Judge Doyle Ziler said he hoped Tuesday’s fed eral grand jury indictment would add impetus to a civil suit by District Attorney Steve Simmons to get Arm strong out of office. “Most people here want Arm strong removed or suspended,” Ziler said. “A majority of people here think he should be removed and maybe the indictment will help move Simmons’ case.” Ziler said the Hudspeth County Commissioners passed a resolution endorsing Simmons’ action. “Frankly, I thought we would get a resignation during the first few days of this thing,” Ziler said. “This resolution we passed might let them know' how the commissioners feel.” Armstrong was arrested on Sept. 7 and later released on $65,000 bond. According to the U.S. Attorney’s office, Armstrong and Newsom al legedly were involved in the narcot ics conspiracy from about May 23 until Sept. 7. Armstrong was named in six sepa rate counts of possessing marijuana with intent to distribute. He also was named in five counts of using a tele phone to make drug deals, saidC Larry Mathews, the assistant U.S.at torney in charge of the case. If Armstrong is convicted of all charges, he faces a maximum sen tence of 55 years in prison, a fineof $255,000, or both, Mathews said. According to the FBI, Armstrone had supplied approximately 4i pounds of marijuana over a two- month period through Newsom to an FBI undercover agent.
