Reagan hints 80
M
bid, stresses tax issue
CHICAGO (AP)-Ronald Reagan
said yesterday there is a "distinct
possibility" he will run for president
again in 1980 and the taxpayer revolt will
be a leading issue if he does.
Joining a cross-country Republican
"tax blitz" in Chicago, Reagan said he
has "not closed the door" to another
presidential campaign but that he won't
announce his final decision until 1979.
"THERE IS A distinct possibility that
I will be a candidate. It may be that it
would take something unforeseen for
me to decide not to," Reagan said at a
news conference.
Reagan, 67, who came close to win-
ning the,, 1976 GOP presidential
nomination, said the taxpayer rebellion
which erupted with the Proposition 13
initiative in California this summer is
spreading. He said Republican tax cut
proposals are the answer the public
wants.
"Whether I'll be running as a can-
didate of whether I will be campaigning
for others, I'm going to tout this as a
part of basic Republican philosophy,"
Reagan said.
IN REMARKS prepared for a
California rally winding up the three
day blitz, former President Gerald R.
Ford hit the same theme, saying it is
"time to carry the rollback from
Sacramento to Washington."
Ford accused the Democrats of of-
fering only token tax reductions and
called instead for.. "a gigantic
reduction of taxes." Republican
congressmen are pushing for a 33 per-
cent cut in income taxes over the next
three years.
"Only by such a gigantic rollback of
taxes can we beging to turn off the
federal money machine that robs our
pay check with inflation and higher
taxes," Ford said.
REAGAN SAID the property tax
rollback imposed by California voters
in June has "triggered hope in the
breasts of the people that something
could be done.
"Too many American people in
recent years have said, 'Yes, but what
can you do about it?' That's why
they've stayed away from the polls,"
Reagan said.
"Prop 13 said you can do something
about it," he continued. "It's a little bit
like dumping those cases of tea off the
boat in Boston harbor."
REAGAN SAID the American public
still associates tax relief with the
Democratic Party, but efforts like the
tax blitz are helping to reverse the
traditional images.
Republican administrations have cut
taxes 13 times in recent history and the
Democrats only once, he said. He also
charged that the current Democratic
tax-cut bill now moving through
Congress would result in a net loss to
the average taxpayer.
The Carter administration and
Democratic congressional leaders also
are calling for tax reductions, but they
say the major cuts proposed by the
Republicans would be dangerously in-
flationary.
HOWEVER, GOP national Chairman
Bill Brock said Republican pressure is
forcing action on the issue even though
Republicans lack the votes to get it
passed in Congress this year.
Brock said recent election results in-
dicating voter demand for tax relief
also is spurring the Republican
initiative.
"An awful lot of Democrats are get-
ting the message," Brock said, "and:
think they are going to be joining us a
individuals."
The blitz is the National Republica
Party's major public effort of the 1971
elections. It is aimed at pushing the tap
cut effort in general but also wit
helping local candidates along the wa

Prop.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP)-Proposition
13, which cut California property taxes
by more than half, was ruled con-
stitutional yesterday by the state
Supreme Court.
The 62-page decision, sigied by six of
the court's seven justices, ended mon-
ths of uncertainty over the validity of
the measure, which was approved by
voters on June 6 by nearly a 2-1 margin.
CHIEF JUSTICE Rose Bird, who did
not sign the majority opinion, wrote a
separate opinion saying that although
13 ruled constitutional
she agreed with most points in the
majority opinion, she objected to one.
Bird wrote that the method of com-
puting property taxes was not fair,
"and those sections which promote this
disparity must fall."
According to the measure, owners of
equally valued pieces of property could
pay widely different taxes, depending
on when they bought the property.
THE COURT ruled that the selection
of the 1975-1976 fiscal year as a base for
taxation was valid.
The petitioners-a group of school
districts, several counties and the City
of San Francisco-had argued, among
other things, that the initiatige was un-
constitutional because it covered more
than one topic-by affecting state and
local taxes, for example.
But the court said that the tax
changes mandated by the measure
were narrow enough that the initiative
process was a proper way of changing
the state's tax law.
Anti-spying coalition
releases documents
Howard Jarvis, one of the two me
who spearheaded the drive for th
initiative, was 76 years old yesterday.
"I told you so," he declared trium
phantly when told of the decision whil
he was in Cleveland, where he wa
speaking to a taxpayers' gropp. "It's t
marvelous birthday present a.d y
bigger present for the people of
California."
The other sponsor, Paul Gann, ha
retired from public relations and reo
estate work.

Bertulucci said that cards kept on
subjects without any indication of
criminal activity or arrest record are
"pointers" and "indicators" that fur-
ther information is available on the in-
dividual. But he declined to describe
what types of additional information
might be kept.
Valentino and CSGS Chairman Mor-
ton Halperin specifically condemned
LEIU's status as a "private
organization" which is registered with
the California State Registry of
Charitable Trusts. Status as a private
organization renders LEIU immune to
Federal Freedom of Information Act
requests and state open record laws,
Valentino contended.
IN CALLING for state and local
governments to establish guidelines on
the surveillance of lawful political ac-
tivity, Halperin said, "We've got to find
a way around this pretense of a private
organization."
Valentino further noted that LEIU's
computerized information bank was
originally funded with taxpayer dollars
- through Federal Law Enforcement
Assistance Administration grants" in
excess of $1.6 million.
LEIU National Secretary Treasurer
Stuart Finck listed the Michigan State
Police, the Michigan Attorney
General's Office, and the Detroit,
Warren, and Flint police departments
as this state's LEIU members.-
But Vincent Piersent, chief of the
Organized Crime Division in the State
Attorney General's Office, said that
bureau "has not been active" in LEIU
for ''four or five years.".
Detroit police officials were not
available for comment.
TIMES CHANGE
HARBOR GRACE, Newfoundland
(AP)-Harbor Grace at one time
attracted many upper-crust Britons,
boasted splendid architecture and had
the atmosphere of an aristocratic
resort town.
However, with the death of shipping in
the area, the town underwent a drastic
change, and now it's an outpost
community like dozens of others along
the coast.
Helms regrets he didn't reveal
CIA plot to assassinate Castro
WASHINGTON (AP)-Former CIA
Director Richard Helms conceded
yesterday that it was a mistake not to
tell the Warren Commission about plots
to kill Fidel Castro, but said "I don't
want to take the entire blame."
Helms, tesitfying before the House
assassinations committee, said he saw
no connection between the
assassination of President John Ken-
nedy and CIA plots to murder Fidel
Castro. So he said he saw no need to ad-
vise the Warren Commission of the
agency's anti-Castro activities.,
BUT, UNDER questioning, he con-
ceded:
"There's no doubt it was a mistake.
We should have backed up a truck and
taken all the documents down and put
themon the Warren Commission's
desk."
The Warren Commission did not
know about the CIA plots to assassinate
Castro when it concluded that Lee Har-
vey Oswald murdered Kennedy and
that the slaying of the president was not
part ofa conspiracy.
Helms said U.S. efforts to overthrow
Castro were known throughout the
government and by Kennedy himself,
although others did not know of the ef-
forts to kill the Cuban leader.
DURING THE Warren Commission's
investigation of Kennedy's death,
Helms was the head of the CIA's clan-
destine services. He served as the
agency's liaison to the panel. But he
said it was not his position to tell the
commission members about the CIA
plots against Castro. It was, he said, the
duty of higher officials.
Helms said he knew of no one in the
CIA who felt the plots against Castro
might have a connection with Ken-
nedy's assassination.
Helms told the committee that the
particular CIA operation in progress
against Cuba on Nov. 22, 1963-the day
Kennedy was assassinated-was not a
plot to kill Castro but an effort "to
mount a coup" against him.
THE SENATE intelligence commit-
tee disclosed that the day Kennedy was
killed a CIA agent turned a poison:.
device over to a Cuban official to be
used against Castro. The rmispion wass
never carried out.
Earlier, Helms acknowledged that he
approved three years of solitary con-
finement and "hostile interrogation" of
a Soviet defector who said he had in-
formation on Oswald's activities in
Russia.
The Central Intelligence Agency did
not believe the defector, Yurd Nosenko,
and passed that assessment to the
Warren Commission, which was in-
vestigating the assassinationa of
President Kennedy. The commission
then decided it did not need to question
Nosenko.
Nosenko defected to the United States
in 1964, claiming he had been a high-
-ranking Soviet KGB official and had ex-
tensive knowledge of Oswald's ac-
tivities during his three-year stay in
Russia.
Helms said he was not told how
badly Nosenko was treated but conten-
ded it should be no surprise that a
defector with such information was
held in isolation and questioned:
Just for the
health of it.
