age 8-Saturday, March 15,;1980-The Michigan Daily Gacy goes to death row; says trial was only 'round one' Carter calls for gas tax CHICAGO (UPI)-Convicted mass murderer John Wayne Gacy yesterday was driven under heavy security to Stateville Correctional Center, where he will be the "most famous inmate" among the 22 prisoners on death row. Gacy, standing emotionless, Thursday was sentenced to die June 2 in the electric chair for the sex slayings of 33 boys and young men. GACY, A 37-year-old building contractor, convicted sodomist and part-time clown-later told his lawyers the decision was just "round one" in a lengthy appeals process that could last years. Illinois Corrections Director Gayle Franzen said Gacy will join 22 other prisoners currently on death row at Stateville, a maximum-security prison near Joliet, southwest of Chicago. "He'll be the most famous inmate on death row," Franzen said. "And he'll be famous for quite a while." "He may be rivaled only by Richard Speck in the entire system." Speck, among the general population in Stateville, was convicted of slashing and choking to death eight nurses in 1966. A state psychiatrist testified during Gacy's trial "He always wanted to be famous ... and now he is famous." However, Franzen said Gacy's status as the man convicted of more killings than any other person in U.S. history will not give him special privileges.

But, he said, "The cost of acting is far less than the cost of not acting. "The temporary pain of sacrifice and discipline is far less-for all of us together-than the still worse permanent pain of rising inflation,' Carter said. "In the fight against inflation, what is at stake is more than material wealth or material comfort," he said. "What is at stake is whether or not we Americans-as a nation, as a people-will control our own destiny." One official, who declined to be identified, said, "We will see by the end of the year an abatement of inflationary forces." THE INCREASE in gasoline prices may come as a cruel blow to Americans, who have watched prices double in the past year. In addition, an official said the increase will result in an 0.4 percentage point -increase in the Consumer Price Index, which is the most common measure of inflation. But Carter said the tax will help reduce gasoline consumption in this country, making possible a reduction in AWARD FOR WATSON NEW YORK (AP)-Smiling Tom Watson did not win one of the Big Four golf tournaments in 1979 but his con- ,sistency in other tour events enabled him to wrap up his second straight Seven Crowns of Sports award and a check for $10,000. Watson took a hand in 22 tour events and won five. He was second four times and third once. oil imports amounting to 100,000 barrels a day after a year and up to 250,000 barrels after three years. Carter's economists had weeks of discussions with Congress before the package was announced. And Democratic leaders promised the president they will eliminate deficit spending-for the first time since 1969-in the fiscal year that begins this October. The president said a decline in imports would reduce the likelihood that oil-exporting nations will raise prices higher in the future. MOST OF THE 1981 budget surplus would come from $10 billion in revenues from the import fee. But even discounting this fee, Carter said his 1981 budget would be in exact balance, or show a surplus of as much as $3 billion. As part of his budget cutting program for tight ?ning inflation, Carter ordered that federal government employment be trimmed by 20,000 jobs before the end of the year. A cut of that size would represent about 1 per cent of the current full-time civilian workforce of 1.91 million, excluding postal workers, putting employment back to 1979 levels. The savings was estimated at $57 million. Later last night, Carter, at a news conference, accused Iranian authorities of breaking commitments on the American hostages. He said he was bitterly disappointed but hoped Iran's new parliamentary elections might soon break the four-month stalemate. "We have done everything we could during the last four months to honor the principles of our nation and to protect those hostages," Carter said at a news conference. "I don't know when they will be released," he said. Carter did not explain what commitments he was accusing the authorities in Tehran of not fulfilling. Presumably, they related to the United Nations fact-finding panel which returned this week from Tehran without seeing the estimated 50 Americans held hostage since last Nov. 4. The president began his news conference, the first in four weeks, by reiterating his proposals to balance the federal budget as a means of combatting the nation's high rate inflation, now running at an annual ra- of about 18 per cent. But most of the questioning regarded foreign affairs, rather than the economic program.. Carter took full responsibility for the U.S. vote in the United Nations criticizing Israel, saying it was "an honest breakdown in communications."

Inside Out was a highly stylized look at the demons swimming around in a man's imagination, and the technique of stark line drawings spotted with oc- casional bright colors proved remarkably effective. Also noteworthy was Labyrinth, a cute, visually char- ming piece of pop existentialism that has a sun-glassed Everyman wan- dering around an ever- metamorphasizing geometric structure with his jaded dog, both commenting heavily on the meaninglessness of life.

SPEAKING OF sunglasses, it seems that three-fourths of the actors in the, movies are always wearing the dar things, as some sort of pointedly blankt identity-crushing device. This can really grate on one's nerves, especially when accompanied by the tedious anti- melodramatic excesses . of, say, Richard S. Stanford's Two/Four or Toney Merritt's Masked Incident, both of which boasted more pretensions than their maker's limited creative abilities could bolster. Where both films failed was in establishing any sort of convin- cing, unbroken mood. Instead,@ melange. of styles and camera techniques were thrown into haphazard mish-moshes that a bit more planning (and, perhaps, talent) might have ironed out. For some direction, these guys should take their cue from Pat Olezsko's Ash Patrol, a surreal, sexy mockup of the Cinderella saga and the evening's most sustained and fully realized story- piece. Olezsko (who's perforn , tonight at the 7:00 and 9:00 showsa hawking her knick-knacks throughout the week) works with a professional filmmaker, who gives her movies a secure cinematic gleam and enables her to bring her flamboyant concepts and costumes into full bloom. Ash Patrol's irresistable tour de force was Prince Chraming's Ball, a freaked-out, Dionysiac affair with women flopping around in huge hyperbolic breasts and tomato-shaped humanoids that look like something off of The Banana Spli What's remarkable about Olezsko's vision-and I don't think that's too lofty a term for it-is its sheer exuberant in- nocence. Ash Patrol has a heady sexuality, but Andy Warhol's Trash is the only other movie I can think of that could transform a striptease (in this case, Cinderella's) into a divinely romantic love-dance.
