Page 8-thursday, August 7, 1980-The Michigan Daily CANDIDATE WOOS NATION'S A UTOMAKERS Anderson wants import quotas I I From AP and UPI DETROIT - Independent presiden- tial candidate John Anderson, cam- paigning in the nation's auto capital, said yesterday if Japan does not volun- tarily limit its auto exports to the United States, this country should reduce its mutual defense commitmen- ts to the Tokyo government. Noting that Japanese auto imports have risen to about 23 per cent of the. American car market, Anderson said' the United States should get tough with the Japanese if no voluntary import restrictions can be negotiated. "THEY (THE Japanese) have got to have some sympathy and understan- ding for the desperate plight of the auto industry in this country," Anderson said following a series of meetings with auto union and industry leaders. "We've got to sit down and do some very hard bargaining with respect to the share they (the' Japanese) con- tribute to our common defense, in- cluding our protection of oil in the Per- sian Gulf," he said. Anderson cautioned that he would not agree to any plan to limit imports not unless the auto industry made specific pledges to improve their production of economy cars. "I AM NOT going to put up some um- brella of protection and then have them (the auto industry) go to sleep," he said, fresh from a smashing perfor- mance in Tuesday's state primary that will assure him a spot on Michigan's November ballot. With virtually all of the vote counted, Anderson picked up 90,985 votes to put him on the November ballot in Michigan. He needed only an estimated 3,300 to 3,500 votes. It wasn't so easy for three minor par- ties trying to get on the ballot. The Libertarian and Citizens parties barely made it with just over 5,000 votes each but the Socialist Workers Party fell flat with fewer than 1,000 votes. POLITICAL LEADERS were im- pressed yesterday with Anderson's per- formance Tuesday, but were not yet ready to say he has an equal shot at Michigan's 21 electoral votes. Michigan, with its liberal Republican Party and strong tradition of indepen- dent voting, might prove fertile ground for the GOP congressman. The primary outcome seems to confirm that analysis. But whether Anderson could carry Michigan, remains unclear, according to both Democratic and Republican leaders. "CONGRESSMAN ANDERSON'S strong showing in yesterday's primary clearly indicates he will be a factor here in November," said Gov. William Milliken, whose wife supported Ander- son when he was seeking the GOP nomination. "However, I continue to believe that many people in Michigan who look to an Gov.
