Dayton Man Killed In
Motorcycle Accident
DAYTON (Sp) - A Dayton
man was killed and a passenger
injured when he lost control of the
motorcycle he was driving and
swerved into the path of a pickup
truck driven by the victim’s wife.
State troopers said Robert
Horace Newbury, 40, was pro-
nounced dead at the scene by
Judge E. B. White shortly after
the 3 p.m. Wednesday accident.
Sidney Dwayne Fransen, 18, of
Dayton was admitted to Gulf
Coast Hospital and is listed in
“stable” condition.
State Trooper Ken Shafer said
Newbury was traveling north-
bound on FM 1409 when he lost
control of the motorcyle and
drove onto the shoulder of the
road.
“He lost control and after get-
ting back onto the roadway was
sliding on the motorcycle’s side
and crossed the center stripe into
the southbound lane. His motor-
cycle struck his wife’s pickup
headon,” Shafer said.
No charges were filed in the ac-
cident, ruled as unavoidable.
Both men were wearing helmets,

came off in the accident and
death was caused by massive
head injuries.

SPOTS
NEW YORK (AP) - Three of
four Americans favor the idea of
a new federal jobs program to
reduce unemployment, according
to the latest Associated Press-
NBC News poll.
And more people would like to
$ee such a program funded by
cuts in defense spending than by a
delay in the next scheduled in-
come tax cut or by increases in
other taxes, the poll said.
For the nationwide telephone
poll, 1,583 adults were interview-
ed in a scientific random sampl-
ing. .
The responses also indicated in-
creasing optimism about the
economy. Forty-three percent
said they think the economy will
get better during the next year,
while 19 percent said it will get
worse, 33 percent said it will stay
the same and 5 percent were not
sure. j
In the August AP-NBC Ne^
poll, 36 percent said the economy
will get better and 28 percent said
it wiil get worse.
In the latest poll, 76 percent
said they generally favored the
idea of the federal government
setting up a hew jobs program to
reduce unemployment.
Given a choice among defense
spending cuts, a delay in next
year’s scheduled income tax cut
or increases in other taxes, the 76
percent split this way in choosing
how a jobs program should be
funded: cuts in defense spending,
27 percent; a delay in the tax cut,
15 percent, and increases in other
taxes, 15 percent. Nineteen per-
cent were either not sure or said
they preferred cuts in some other
budget areas.
With the nation’s unemploy-
ment rate at 10.4 percent, there
have been various proposals in
Washington in recent weeks to
create hundreds of thousands of
jobs working on highways and
bridges. One proposal backed by
Transportation Secretary Drew
Lewis would raise the federal
gasoline tax to fund the program,
but Democratic proposals instead
support defense spending cuts
and higher taxes for the wealthy.
In the poll, a plurality - 50 per-
cent to 37 percent — said it was
more important for the federal
government to help control
unemployment rather than infla-
tion. In a followup question, 54
percent majority said they were
personally more concerned with
inflation than unemployment.
Respondents who said inflation
was more important were twice
as likely as those who said
unemployment to oppose a jobs
program. Republicans were more
likely to say inflation and
Democrats unemployment, but
even among Republicans 6 of 10
supported a jobs program. “
The higher the respondents’ in-
come, the more likely they were
to say inflation is more impor-
tant, to predict the economy will
improve and to oppose a jobs pro-
gram.
As with all sample surveys, the
results of AP-NBC News polls can
vary from the opinions of all
Americans.

Reagan Expected To Unveil
MX Missile Basing Plan
WASHINGTON
(AP) — President
Reagan is likely to
unveil on Monday a
long-awaited basing
plan for the MX
missile that calls for
bunching the huge
weapons closely
together in super-
hardened silos to pro-
tect then} against a
Soviet strike.
The announcement
is expected to be
made in advance of
Reagan’s address to
the nation, at 8 p.m.
EST Monday, on
arms control and
defense issues.
An administration
qfficial, speaking
privately, said the
MX decision would be
announced at the
White House and
Pentagon, and then
Reagan would refer
to it during his speech
"•’'•Build,,,,
* FOr ^

in the context of the
administration’s
overall arms reduc-
tion plan.
The president is ex-
pected to say the MX
is necessary because
of a massive Soviet
arms buildup over
two decades, the of-
ficial said.
In advance of his
speech, Reagan was
due to meet today
with the general ad-
visory committee of
the U.S. Arms Con-
trol and Disarma-
ment Agency. .
Officials at the
White House and
Pentagon said
Reagan probably will

dation of Pentagon

the public works approach to the
unemployment dilemma during
the campaign.
Baker, who is from Tennessee,
left open the possibility, that he
may support a more extensive
jobs program, though he did not
give any details.
“What I’m*saying is Fm going
to talk to the speaker (Thomas
O’Neill) and we’re going to gin up
a jobs bill,” Baker said. O’Neill.
B-Mass., is the House speaker.
With unemployment at 10.4 per-
cent, Michel said, “The key ele-
ment is jobs and putting people
back to work. The question is,
how do you best do that?”
Unemployment was a major issue
in the November elections in
which the GOP lost 26 House
seats.
Reagan is considering asking
Congress to push up the date of
the tax cut — the third install-
ment of his 25-percent income tax
redaction over three years — as a
way to stimulate the economy.
Under Reagan’s proposal, the 5
percent cut in tax rates due Jan.
1,1984, and the second 10 percent
reduction in the amount of tax
withheld from worker paychecks,
due next July 1, would instead
take effect Jan. 1,1983. The net ef-
fect would be a 15 percent cut in
tax rates in 1983, rather than 10
percent, and the full reduction
would be reflected in paychecks
at the start of the year . \

“What it boils down to is that
the federal government is retren-
ching and there will be more par-
ticipation from the state in the
future,” Jones said. “We need to
look at all alternatives available
as a solution to our water pro-
blem.”
Jones said 70 percent of all
water used in Texas comes from
underground sources that are be-
ingoverproduced.
“We are presently pumping
more than 12 million acre-feet per
year, and we have an estimated
recharge of slightly more than 5
million acre-feet,” he said.

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Two members of Congress are
challenging NATO Secretary-
General Joseph Luns’ claim —
similiar to President Reagan’s —
that the nuclear weapons freeze
movement in the West is “strong-
ly aided” by the Soviet Union.
And another congressman,
Rep. Don Edwards, D-Calif., says
he thinks the FBI improperly in-
tnided into politics by publicly
backing Reagan’s contention that
foreign agents are helping the
freeze movement in the United
States.
Edwards said Thursday he bad
no quarrel with the FBI’s in-
vestigating foreign agents who
might be infiltrating the freeze
movement, but that the FBI is re-
quired to keep its information
confidential.
Reagan asserted at a news con-
ference last week that there is
‘‘no question aboqU foreign
agents” being sent to the United
States to “help instigate and help
create and keep such a movement
going.”
In London, Sen. Claiborne Pell,
D-R.I., and Rep. Phillip Burton,
D-Calif., took issue Thursday with
statements Luns made earlier in
the day at a meeting of the North
Atlantic Assembly, a grouping of
Parliament members from 16 na-
tions of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization.
“Some new reports from the
secret services” showed Western
anti-nuclear campaigns were
“strongly aided by the Soviet
Union, including financial sup-
port,’’ said Luns, NATO’s top
civilian official.
Burton responded: “I am most
agitated by your presentation....
You are not serving the cause of
the alliance by such simplistic ex-
planations.”
Rejecting any hint that com-
munists were behind the nuclear
freeze movement, Burton noted
that California and seveh other
states supported freeze referenda
in the Nov. 2 elections'.
Pell, the leading Democrat on
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, added that
demonstrations against nuclear
weapons, such as the one in New
York City that attracted 700,000
people, were spontaneous expres-
sions of concern.
Although Luns refused to back
down from his claim, he told Pell
and Burton at the London meeting
that they were more familiar with
the situation than he was.
In Washington, Edwards sent
FBI Director William Webster a
letter Thursday saying that “it is
particularly unseemly for the FBI
to appear to be taking sides by
providing secret file information
to one side of the debate, file in-
formation untested by any of the
safeguards that constitute
American due process.,
In an interview, Edwards,
chairman of the Judiciary Com-
mittee’s constitutional rights sub-
committee, which oversees the
FBI, said: “Now they are into
politics, and they should shut up.”
