H.M.Baggarly... (Continued From Page Tour)
UT SOME SIX montha after the
■V mention of a SI trillion debt, Reagan,
in his record five-year budget plan, wants
to increase military spending to $1.6
trillion!
To translate. . . that means an
expenditure Jnat for the waste of war of
$876 million per day. . . or $608,500 per
minute!
Or. . . putting it in a more personal
way. . . $4 per day for every man, woman
and child in the U. S. in taxes juat for war!
The man is mad!!
If the Reagan administration accepted
all the proposals submitted by the armed
services in recent weeks. . . and he said
during the campaign for election that he
would let the military determine its own
needs. . . the defense budget for next year
alone would climb from S222.2 billion to
$412.1 billion.
The Reagan demands for the military
have climbed S200 billion since March!
R EAGAN RADICALS interpret the vote
^Ain November as a "mandate" to make
us "bite the bullet." according to Jack
Hopper of Austin.
"But it has already become clear that
some special interests will escape."
Heading the list of escapees will be
General Electric. Reagan's sponsor, along
with Rockwell and Wcstinghouse who will
perhaps "bite" Jelly filled bisculta! All
three are heavily dependent on the cost-
plus military hardware business.
All were generous contributors to the
inauguration program as well as Fancy
Nancy's White House "retouching" pro-'
gram!
Reagan has approved a $12 million
credit to Romania for the purchase of
General Electric equipment for a nuclear
power plant. This is part of a $142 million
package.
BO UT A YEAR ago, two Texas oil
billionaires. Nelson and Bunker Hunt,
caused quite a stir when they allegedly
tried to use a margin-buying stock scheme
to corner the silver market. The scheme
collapsed.
According to the Washington Post,
Hunt family members. Hunt trusts and
Hunt corporations have staked claims on
roughly one-sixth of all federal land that
has been leased for geothermal power
exploration
Phillips. Chevron. Occidental Petro-
leum. and Atlantic Richfield are also
investing in geothermal, but the Hunts'
holdings are already three limes as big as
any of theirs
PEOPLE RECOIL, with Justification,
when they hear of welfare waste and
scandal. There's too much of it! The abuse
is used as argument for abolition of the
welfare programs.
But waste, fraud and scandal aren't
limited to welfare programs!
At the present time the Air Force is
building an inspection facility near Cleve-
land. Ohio A contractor used the wrong
si/c pipe which had to be replaced, once
discovered. The replacement cost? Just
$138 million, bringing the total cost over-
run to $579 million'
And this is almost routine where
military spending is involved.
We would all be shocked if we were
aware of the billions wasted by the
military.
LL WASTE and inefficiencies are
UU deplorable, whether it be in welfare
services or in the military. However, there
is this difference:
If an undeserving person gets a few
extra food stamps, at least a poor person
received a little comfort in an often
frustrating society. And most of all. . . the
local economy received a slight boost when
a food store increased its sales a bit. All
was not totally lost!
But when a multimillionaire building
concern bilks Uncle Sam. or the taxpayers,
out of extra billions, nobody profits but the
bilker!
UU HAT IS THE worst thing that can
11 happen to a writer or columnist?
Receive an unfriendly letter either
signed or anonymous?
Have someone voice disagreement?
No. . . none of these!
Worst thing to happen is no response,
cither positive or negative, no reaction, no
comment.
■ VEN THOUGH agreement la sweet
H music to a writer's ears, his primary
goal is to stimulate thinking, to get a
response of some kind, even though it is
one of disagreement.
Either agreement or disagreement
really means very little.
A reader's response is determined not
so much by the writer’s argument as it is
the writer's ability to agree with the
reader!
A reader likes an article if after
reading it he feels inclined to say. "That is
exactly what I believe. The article says just
what is on mv mind."
A writer is "good’ or "bad" depend-
ing on the extent to which he agrees with
ME.
A NUMBER OF persons and publica-
tions recently were asked to voice an
opinion concerning a new magazine on the
market. Those questioned were of un-
questioned capacity to voice intelligent
opinions—yet they differed greatly.
Los Angeles Times described the new
publication, "inviting graphics, wry humor
and colorful writing."
But the Los Angeles Herald Examiner
called it "tasteless."
Columbia University School ol Journa-
lism National Magazine said of the new
publication. "Outstanding achievement for
public service."
A senior Reagan appointee to the CIA
reacted, "sleazy."
But Time Magazine replied, "a rally-
ing cry. . . above the mellow speak."
And a top Ford Motor executive, after
the new magazine published an award-
winning story that forced the recall of two
million Pintos, "a publisher of lies, half-
truths and distortions."

should make gasohol comp-
etitive with unleaded gaso-
line.
Here's what the bill should
mean for the Panhandle
Three new plants are on the
drawing board, in Muleshoe,
Dumas and Hutto Because
two of the three are in the
Panhandle, we should get at
least two-thirds of the bene-
fit of these plants Plus we
expect several other plants
in the near future in the
Panhandle
The construction costs of
the three plants will be
about $200 million. Most
economists agree that each
dollar spent for new indus-
tries creates about $3.50 in
"spinoff” industries, so the
gasohol total should ap-
proach $900 million. Of
that sum. we expect about
$600 million will be made
in the Panhandle.
Of course, there should be
other benefits of the
gasohol bill that are not,
readily predictable. One is
that it creates a new market
for agricultural products.
The bill specifies that the

alcohol used to make the
gasohol be from a renewable
source. That will be grain
for the near future, but it
could be other renewable
sources later Either way,
gasohol will decrease our de-
pendence on foreign oil.
Someone will have to run
the gasohol plants, so we ex-
pect the industry will bring
in hundreds of jobs at good
wages This is in addition to
the construction jobs to
build the plants
We believe gasohol is per-
fect for the Panhandle It
brings together three of the
important things of this de-
cade - agriculture, energy
and jobs. We have the mar-
ket and the means of pro-
duction in our part of the
state, all we needed was to
give gasohol a fighting
chance.
We have given gasohol its
chance. Now we expect to
see a thriving Panhandle
industry that was not there
before.
Many of you have opin-
ions on gasohol production
and on the future of the
Panhandle, and we want to
hear from you. Please write
to Senator Bill Sarpalius.

Insurance
Interest
Hiked
The annual interest rate
charged by the Veterans
Administration on National
Service Life Insurance
(NSLI) policy loans has been
increased to 11 percent ef-
fective July 29.
NSLI coverage was pro-
vided service personnel on
active duty from October 8.
1940. through April 24.
1951. Those who converted
this World War II coverage
to a permanent plan mav
obtain loans up to 94 per-
cent of the cash value of
their individual policy. In
fiscal year 1980. VA made
about 9r>.(KH) loans on NSLI
policies.
The July 29 change does
not affect the loan interest
rate on United States Gov-
ernment Life Insurance
(USGLI) policies. VA point-
ed out. Interest rates on
USGLI policies, which were
extended to military per-
sonnel who served between
Max 1919 and April 1951.
are set bv law .
The loan interest rate on
NSLI policies was increased
to 5 percent in 1971. Since
that time, other investments
made for the insurance trust
funds have yielded increas-
ingly higher earnings and
dividends for policy holders.
The increased interest rale
will permit earnings on
policy loans to become com-
parable with other invest-
ments.
