Page 2-Saturday, September 23, 1978-The Michigan Daily 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 It began in Washington Wednesda morning with stops in New York Philadelphia, Detroit, Minneapolis, St Paul, Chicago, Oklahoma City and Lo Angeles. - 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. (Continued from Page1). 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.
