Page 2-Thursday, August 5, 1982-The Michigan Daily Reagan to fight nuclear freeze in U.S. House WASHINGTON (UPI) - President Reagan mounted a last-minute offen- sive yesterday against a nuclear freeze resolution, warning the prospec- ts for real arms control could suffer a serious setback if the proposal is ap- proved by Congress. The House has tentative plans to vote today on the call for a mutual and verifiable freeze on nuclear weapons by the United States and the Soviet Union. On Capitol Hill, meanwhile, House Speaker Thomas O'Neill (D-Mass.), Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.), and other congressional backers of the nuclear freeze movement spoke out in support of the freezeresolution. "THIS ISSUE is the most important issue of our time," Kennedy declared, noting that the United States and Soviet Union together have nuclear arsenals the equivalent of 1 million bombs of the size dropped on Hiroshima during World War II. "Enough is enough," he told repor- ters outside the Capitol. "The time for a freeze is now, the time for reductions is in the future. Freeze now, and then reduce." Reagan invited 21 House members to the White House to urge support for an alternative proposal embracing his view that a freeze is not possible until the two superpowers agree to significant reductions in nuclear ar- maments. Rep. Samuel Stratton (D-N.Y.), a co- sponsor of the alternative language, said "several" members went to the White House undecided, but "while I can't guarantee it, it appears they've seen the light." Today The weather Temperatures will be stifling today, with highs in the lower 90s. Relief is in sight for the evening when humidity drops. [] My dog's uglier than your dog THEY SAY EVERY dog has its day and for Chi-Chi, a model mutt with a Mohawk hairdo, that day came Sunday when he won the annual Ugly Dog Contest in Petaluma, California. "He's unique, he's hairless-he's just kind of funny. Kind of like a rat," said Dane Beezley, of Sunnyvale, California, owner of the winning entry in a contest that attracts some of the most bizarre canines on display. Chi-Chi took the honor with a walk after mastering competition that included Humphrey, a drooling bulldog, and Toby, a chow with moth-eaten fur. Snuffy, a tiny, rheumy chihuahua with a red neck and jutting ribs,.has won the contest twice before. Owner Kena Hibbs of Petaluma decided to let her dog sit out this year "to give someone else a chance to win." Also resting on his laurels was Fawn II, a Chinese Shar-Pei with bad breath and a suit of clothes ten sizes too large. "You get something that ugly, it just wins every time and discourages other entran- ts," said Doretha Tennyson, chairperson of the 13-year-old competition.

The Michigan Daily Kennedy ... freeze an important issue DURING THE meeting, the president warned that congressional support for an immediate freeze would undermine START-the Strategic Arms Reduction Talks-and negotiations on inter- mediate-range missiles in Europe. "He is concerned ... that a straight freeze would undercut the negotiating process-in Geneva," said Rep. William Broomfield (R-Mich.), chief sponsor of the substitute resolution backed by the president. Allen is the only Democrat against any tax increases (Continued from Page 1) cest, .or if it is necessary to save the mother's life. His opponents favor freedom of choice for the mother in all legal circumstances. Allen's economic ideas center on his concept of a three-way coalition bet- ween business, labor, and state gover- nment to decide the state's needs. "There's been for quite a while an adversary role of labor, business, and government," he said. "That's got to stop, it's got to become a joint effort between all of them in setting priorities so that we all can survive." One of Allen's top priorities is to put a stop to rising property taxes. "THE TAX LOAD on the individual's home is.. ;just ridiculous," said Allen. "To own a home is almost impossible today." Allen believes a property tax cap and assurances that home financing costs will not be used to determine the market value of a home can stop property tax increases. Currently the state takes financing costs into account when determining a home's market value, although the state constitution says that it should not be taken into account, he said. TO FURTHER aid the housing in- dustry, Allen would like the state to work with banks to provide low interest housing loans. "You can use leverage of the state to work with banks and provide limited funds for low interest bonds for housing loans that will help move the housing market," he said. Improving the state's basic services is the third emphasis in Allen's cam- paign. He stresses "transportation, and public services as they relate to fire, police, roads, sewers, and storm drainage. Those are the very basic services that relate to a healthy economic climate by which people can come here and expand their operations." Allen's opponents in the primary are Lana Pollack, Peter Eckstein, and James Murray. Eckstein will be featured tomorrow.
