Page 8-Saturday, September 20, 1980-The Michigan Daily ARCHIVES FURNISH DEMOCRA TIC AMMO New issue: Old quotes WASHINGTON (AP)-Every morn- ing Martin Franks hands out rolls of dimes to members of his staff and sends them to the Library of Congress to read old news stories about Ronald Reagan. They use the dimes to make photocopies of old Reagan quotes which might be brought back to haunt Reagan, the Republican canidate for president. THE DIMPLE-FACED Franks, 29, is mining a lode that Jimmy Carter hopes will help win the election for him. Car- ter's strategy is to make Reagan the issue, and he depends for ammunition on what is dug up by Franks' nine paid researchers at the Carter-Mondale Re- Election Committee. On Sept. 4, a woman in Jacksonville, Fla., asked Reagan whether he had ad- vocated making Social Security volun- tary, Reagan said, "No, I have never said such a thing, never in my life." Within 24 hours, the Carter-Mondale committee cranked out quotes from 1964, 1965, 1966 and 1976 in which Reagan appeared to be advocating giving citizens a choice between Social Security and some other retirement protection. THAT WAS FRANKS' handiwork. He has a huge file cabinet of old Reagan quotes and the pile grows every day. They are indexed and cross- referenced in 25 looseleaf binders. And he treats them like atomic secrets. "We're sitting on some good stuff," he says. "We have enough memorable stuff to have a quote a day." CARTER IS making heavy use of the material, raising on successive days questions about Reagan's stand on Social Security and Medicare, and on civil rights and open housing, specifically.

Even though Reagan changed his mind in the 16 years since the civil rights bill passed, Franks argues that Reagan's position is valid ammunition because it goes to such questions as his "judgment, character and wisdom." Franks shrugs off the suggestion that he is working the shady side of politics, that he is a political garbage collector. He likes what Harry Truman said: "I don't give them hell. I just tell the truth and they think it's hell." He says GOP National Chairman Bill Brock "started saying what a mean and dirty campaign we were running when all we were doing was quoting their man." Bush slams Carter econonuc policies DETROIT (UPI)-Republican vice presidential candidate George 'Bush hammered away yesterday at President Carter's economic record, saying four more years of ad- ministration policies would cause "quantum jumps" in inflation. Bush, speaking to the Economic Club of Detroit, rejected notions that Ronald Reagan's economic program is "cruel," "backward" or unworkable. He said it offers far more hope to the disadvantaged than Democratic policies. "IF YOU TAKE a fair, open-minded look at this model, you'll see there are no mirrors," Bush said of Reagan's tax cut- and private sector-geared economic program. "These numbers will stand up." Reagan-even with a proposed across-the-board tax cut and increase in real defense spending-would balan- ce the budget by 1983 and then build a 1981-85 surplus of $73 billion, Bush said. BUSH SAID that administration assessments that the economy is tur- ning the corner especially don't ring true in auto-dependent Michigan-which has been the hardest hit by the recession of the large in- dustrial states. "Go talk to the automobile worker. Go talk to the people in Flint where unemployment is above 22 per cent, or Saginaw or Detroit," he said. "Somebody is getting hurt, and 'it's the people who want to work for a living." IN HIS SPEECH, Bush also rejected efforts to paint the GOP presidential hopeful's defense policies as dangerously right-wing, saying Reagan simplay "has a very realistic look about the Soviet Union."~ HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP)-A grand jury said yesterday that Pennsylvania's April 24 lottery was rigged when liquid was injected into numbered pingpong balls used in the game. The jury recommended charges against six people, some of whom it said bought more than $1 million of winning tickets. Gov. Dick Thornburgh, who announced the recommen- dations of the statewide grand jury, said the six included Nick Perry, the television announcer for the daily lottery drawing at WTAE-TV in Pittsburgh. THE DRAWING, BEAMED nightly to a statewide viewing audience, was fixed by injecting liquid into all the pingpong balls used in the game except those numbered "6" and "4," the grand jury said. The balls with no liquid weighed less than the others and thus floated more easily to the top of the three air machines used in the drawing. k Heavy betting occurred on number combinations in- volving 4 and 6, the jury said. The result was a "666" win- ning number that paid a record $3.5million. "THE GRAND JURY found that a small, close-knit group of persons, including several members of the same family, purchased extraordinary large quantities of lot- tery tickets for the April 24 drawing and received tickets valued at $1.18 million," Thornburgh said, Acting Attorney General. Harvey Bartle said about $500,000 worth of the tickets have yet to be cashed, and will not be honored if they are. Despite lottery officials' assurances that they had con- trol of the game "every minute," the grand jury found lax security. On the night of the rigged drawing, the three lot- tery drawing machines were left unattended for 30 minutes, the jury said. AND LAST-MINUTE drawing preparations were left to Perry instead of lottery personnel, the jury said. The grand jury's findings sent shock waves yesterday through the dozen other states relying on official numbers gambling for more than $1 billion in revenue this year. The typical reaction of most state lottery officials was, "It can't happen here.. . can it?" "We don't know of any way that it can, but nothing is impossible," Blaine Lewis Jr., unit chief of the Connec- ticut lottery, said. "We're sending someone to Pen- nsylvania to try to learn more about it." The growing reliance on lotteries as a source of revenue can be seen in Council of State GoVernments figures which show gross lottery receipts up from $530 million in 1977 to $779 million in 1978. The Pennsylvania scandal was also expected to send shudders through several other states considering gam- bling referenda this-November, and to provide ample fod- der for lottery opponents. In both Colorado and Arizona, voters in November will vote on whether they should have state lotteries, and ballots in Washington, D.C., West Virginia, Missouri and Texas will also carry initiatives to legalize various types of gambling. Officials in other states said Pennsylvania allegations, believed to be the only such scandal since New Hampshire started the first of the current state lotteries in 1964, was a fluke that could and should have been avoided through better security. "It would take such a conspiracy between such a terrific number of individuals that the likelihood of tampering with the equipment is impossible," Thomas Skarzynski, a spokesman for the Maryland Lottery Agency, said.

Laxalt: Carter attack 'vicious' *1 By United Press International Ronald Reagan's campaign chair- man yesterday accused President Car- ter of "one of the most vicious smears in modern political history" for suggesting 'that the Republican can- didate injected racist "code words" in- to the campaign. While Carter spent a good part of his half-hour news conference Thur- sday night explaing his remarks in Atlanta earlier this week on that sub- ject and urged that the issue be drop- ped, the Reagn campaign sought to keep him on the defensive. SEN. PAUL LAXALT (R-Nev.) called a news conference to demand Carter apologize to Reagan and the American people for "one of the most vicious smears in modern political history"-Carter's accusation that Reagan used the phrase "states' Use Daily Class ifileds rights" as a racist code word and his reference to the Republican can- didate's mention of the Ku Klux Klan. The president kept walking toward his Camp David-bound helicopter when reporters asked him to comment on what Laxalt said. Aides said Carter said "everything he felt he needed to say" at his news con- ference when he was asked repeatedly whether he meant to call Reagan "a racist," and repeatedly said that he did not. IN THE TEXT of his Atlanta cam- paign speech, Carter mentioned Reagan's opposition to the landmark 1964 Civil Rights Act, a stand Reagan has since disavowed. Laxalt called that tactic "a classic study in hypocrisy." . At the time, he said, Carter was in the Georgia Senate "voting for legislation which for all intents and purposes cir- cumvented the Civil Rights Act." AN AIDE POINTED to a 1976 newspaper story describing state con- stitutional amendments aimed at preventing school desegregation and barring Georgia counties from enacting open accommodations and fair em- ployment laws. Meantime, independent candidate John Anderson announced his cam- paign had filed the required number of signatures in Arizona and New Ham- pshire, thereby finally fulfilling ballot requirements in all 50 states. Anderson, who also won a' court vic- tory in North Carolina, said his cam- paign now expects to be on the ballot everywhere in November and called his petition drive success "a milestone in American political history." Both Reagan and Anderson sought equal time from the three commercial networks to make up for the five- minute opening statement Carter made at his news conference, portraying his administration's accomplishments. But the networks said yesterday they do not believe they are obligated to provide equal time. Daily Classifieds Get Results!
