Wednesday told The Baytown
Sun he does not believe the 534
million in President Carter’s
budget for the Brownwood
evacuation • project would
become involved in a “battle of
the budget.” r
“If such a battle should
develop, it would be between
those members of Congress who
feel there should be a better
balance between expenditures
on defense and social pro
grams,” said Eckhardt, who rep-
resents Baytown in the House
For instance, thee are
members who feel that far too
much is being proposed for
defense spending and too little
for such programs as health
care,” he added.
“And on the other side are
those who feel defense needs are
being shortchanged," he said
Eckhardt in his disagreement
with an Associated Press story
pointed out that seldom if ever
“has Congress refused to go along
with expenditures on water re-
source project?. “In fact,” be
said, “Congress is prone to want
to add projects and expendi-
tures in the water resource field
rather than to cut them back.”
The only problem, he coa-
tinued, that might ^develop is
that Congress could add projects
the President would oppose,
thus posing the possibility of a
veto as was done last year.
“However, since this project
has been justified and was ul-
timately included in the
appropriations bill in 1978,. I

WASHINGTON (AP| — Presi-

that reducing inflation must be
the nation’s “top ixonomic
priority” because the worsening
price spiral threatens to erode
jobs and income gains of the last
two years and plunge the nation

The president and his
economic advisers said for the
first time that the rapid decline
in unemployment since 1976 to a

by 9 percent, the worst in four
years.

Khomeini today delayed MS' return to Iran at

quest by, Prime Minister Shahpour Bakhtiar to

to "calm down.” ---- ■ :———s—
Khomeini, the exiled religious leader who
heads the fight to overthrow Shah Mohammad
Reza Pahlavi, announced postponement of Ms
flight to Tehran, previously scheduled for
Friday, after the military closed Iran's airports .
for three days. *

Mm.
Thousands of people of all ages and oc-
cupations rallied in Tehran today in support of
the IraMan constitution and the Bakhtiar
government, and some attacked stores and cars
bearing portraits of Khomeini.
The demonstration appeared to be part of a
growing backlash to Khomeini. Some IraMan
reporters estimated the crowd at perhaps
100,000, blit several Western reporters placed
the figure at no more than about 20,000.
“We don't want another dictatoraMp. We
don’t want Khomemi,” one demonstrator, a
31year-ol<j. oil technician, told a report®.
■Bakhtiar sent a letter to the Shiite Moslem
patriarch asking him to delay his return for
three weeks because he could not guarantee his
safety and because of "various intrigues.”
Before Khomemi’s announcement today,
senior government officials here said they un-
derstood he apparently had agreed to the re-
quest,But Khometoi’s cMef aide in Paris, Dr.
Ibrahim Yazdi, said at a news conference the
ayatollah refused to' receive Tfie iettef and
would be flying to Iran Sunday, when the air-
ports purportedly will reopen.
Some sources said Bakhtiar asked the military
to close the airports to give Khomeini a face-
saving excuse for the delay, but it was assumed
here the airport shutdown was part of an effort
by the military, wMch supports the shah, to
block the return of Khomemi.
