PAGE EIGHT SECTION A TUCSON, THURSDAY, MAY 5, 1977 THE ARIZONA DAILY STAR Sugar subsidy approved, but import cut is vetoed national Issues key to re-election, Powell says WASHINGTON (AP) President Carter will be in the best position to win re-election in 1980 if he does a good job tackling substantive issues, White House spokesman Jody Powell said yesterday. The press secretary was aaswering questions about a special memorandum prepared for the president that said he should be careful about replacing style with substance in the White House. It was written by a key adviser who already is focusing on the 1980 election. "There is no time to be worrying about the 1980 campaign now," Powell said in reference to the Dec. 10, 1976, memorandum written by pollster Patrick H.

Caddell. Powell said the memorandum was one of several advisers and aides gave Carter shortly before he took office. He said Carter had no reaction to the Caddell memorandum. The memorandum suggested that Carter set goals he could easily reach in each of the key issues he attacks so he could buy time in trying to solve more difficult problems. i is WASHINGTON (AP) Presidi nt Carter approved sugar subsidies of up to 2 cents a pound to help the domestic sugar industry but vetoed a lower import quota, the White House announced yesterday.

The decision will have no effect on consumer prices because the money will be paid by the Treasury Dept. instead of the coasum-er, the White House said. The subsidy was criticized by one sweetener industry official as a "masterful raid" on the U.S. Treasury. Robert C.

Liebenow, president of the Corn Refiners said, "U.S. coasumers will be paying more for sugar, not at the grocery store, but right out of their paychecks" because of the added tax burden. Liebenow's association represents companies which make high-fructose corn syrup, a sweetener used by many food processors. "This action is unprecedented in U.S. agricultural policy a direct attempt by one group of producers to use the U.S.

government to subsidize their crop, sugar, at the expease of another crop, corn," Liebenow said. The subsidy would be given to growers whenever the market price of sugar falls below 13.5 cents a pound. It is designed to aid financially stricken domestic growers who have seen sugar prices tumble during the last year. The U.S. International Trade Commission recommended last month that the import quota be lowered.

It is now seven million tons a year, but only 4.5 million tons are imported. Agriculture Secretary Bob Ber-gland also wanted to reduce the quota to about 4.5 million toas. In 1974, sugar hit a peak of 57 cents a pound raw and 63 cents a pound retail. The Agriculture Dept. estimates that each penny of subsidy will cost the taxpayers about $125 million a year.

The so-called New York spot price of raw sugar is now about 12 cents a pound. Thus, if that price held, the subsidy would amount to I. 5 cents a pound to raise the price growers get to the 13.5 cents set by the new target. By limiting the subsidy to 2 cents a pound, the spot price of raw sugar could drop to 11.5 cents a pound and growers would still get the full 13.5 cents guaranteed by the plan announced yesterday. But, because there is a 2-cent limit, if the market price dropped below II.

5 cents, growers would get less than the target of 13.5 cents. Widow's grief A woman sobs after her husband and another man were killed in the cave-in of a sewer pipe trench in Colton, Calif. "It's not fair. He promised me he wouldn't die," she cried. (AP) Vance reports no SALT progress since March 4, Vance said he did not want to speak hopefully about his upcoming SALT talks in Geneva with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko.

"When you put things in terms of hope, one tends to sometimes create expectations and get oneself into problems," Vance said. The secretary and Gromyko will meet May 18 resume the SALT talks that broke down March 31 after the Russians flatly rejected new American proposals. WASHINGTON (AP) Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance said yesterday that no progress has been made toward a new nuclear arms agreement, and held out little hope for a quick end to the U.S.-Soviet deadlock. After more than a month of talks with Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin on a strategic arms limitation treaty, "we have put no new proposals on the table nor have they," Vance said.

In his first Washington news conference UFO researchers, 'victims' to attend Chicago convention By STEVE BROWN 1977 The Chicago Daily News IS SEE TUCSON'S LARGEST DISPLAY OF SLEEPERS FOR IINITFD MfllMF! IMMEDIATEJ! When the Boise, Idaho, pilot told a newspaper reporter of the objects, which he said were traveling in formation at an estimted speed of 1,200 miles per hour the writer on Arnold's statement that the craft looked like saucers skipping over water. The term struck the fancy and imagination of the world. The final day of the congress will be on the 30th anniversary of the event that Fuller says "ushered in the modern era of UFOs." The magazine was born when Fuller, then editor of Flying Magazine, was intrigued by the general reluctance of investigators and those who asserted to have seen such craft to talk about the subject. Fuller does not contend that those attending the congress will find any solid answers to what lies behind the thousands of reported UFO sightings. "I don't think we're much closer to understanding what it is than we were back in the 1890s," when the previous big wave of sightings was reported, Fuller said.

But many explanations and theories will be discussed, Fuller said. UCTUAfMCT CHICAGO The flying saucer people are here. They are not, however, the extraterrestrials who pilot unidentified flying objects, but researchers who have studied claims of UFO sightings, a woman who asserts to have been the victim of a UFO abduction and a Methodist minister who is intrigued by the religious aspects of saucer sightings. Most of them flew in on airliners to join Fate magazine publisher Curtis Fuller in announcing the First International UFO Congress, to be held June 24 to 26 here. Fuller's magazine, based in Highland Park, is spoasoring the meeting, which will be open to the public and will feature many of the nation's UFO researchers and persons who say they have seen or ridden in such craft.

Fate magazine began 30 years ago after the UFO sighting that gave lead to the invention of the term "flying saucer," Fuller said. The sighting in 1947 of nine flying objects over the Cascade Mountaias in Washington was made by pilot Kenneth Arnold, who will speak at the Congress, Fuller said. j'" ii wk. -it ii i ii ii ww DELIVERY CHOOSE YOUR STYLE, SIZE AND PRICE.

It costs the state $50,000 a day to house and feed the demonstrators, officials said. Thomson and the state's Executive Council met yesterday in emergency session to appropriate $10,000 from the state's emergency fund for health and hygiene supplies for the demonstrators arrested at Seabrook.

Health and Welfare Commissioner Robert Whalen told the council the $10,000 is needed for two weeks' supplies for basic health needs. CONCORD, N.H.

Kent State vigil turns into sit-in U.S. ignoring us, flood victims say VULCAN, W.Va. (AP) Flood-displaced residents of the Tug Valley, setting of the famed Hatfield-McCoy feud, are angry over what they see as the federal government's lack of concern over their plight. "If the world was a cow, this would be the tail end of it," John Robinette, the unofficial mayor of Vulcan, said yesterday. Despite a visit to the flood area Tuesday by President Carter's son Chip and Patricia Harris, secretary of housing and urban development, Robinette feels the people of his tiny community have been forgotten.

Vulcan was one of several communities in the Tug Vally, situated on the Kentucky-West Virginia border, which were inundated by floods April 2. Although a number of HUD field workers have been to the secluded area, there is little to show for it, Robinette said. "We have a 94-year-old woman, blind in one eye," he said. "Her house is condemned, so her daughter keeps her. Since the flood, they haven't had a stove to cook on.

They've got one bed in the house and they have a couch that the daughter sleeps on." Harris, who toured some areas of mountainous Mingo County with Carter, said the only problem the area faces is one of "communications" in that the residents need a better understanding of HUD procedures and methods. But she called the four-state disaster the worst there since Hurricane Agnes in 1972. Harris said hundreds of trailers sitting empty on a four-lane highway could not be moved into the flood area until sewer and water problems were solved and demolished houses condemned. protesters remained in the building hours after the meeting adjourned. Those at the sit-in included Dean Kahler, who was partially paralyzed in the 1970 shootings by the Ohio National Guard.

Earlier, up to 2,000 persons, including the parents of two of the slain students, had joined in memorial services that included a candlelight vigil, march and rally. KENT, Ohio (AP) About 100 persons who turned out to commemorate the killing of four students on the Kent State University campus seven years ago yesterday launched a sit-in protest agaiast plans to build a gymnasium on the site of the shootings. The demonstrators gathered in a corridor outside a room where university trustees were meeting to consider candidates to replace retiring President Glenn Olds.

Charles H. Percy, has proposed an amendment that would remove the Voice of America from control of the U.S. Information Agency and make it an independent agency.

Percy said that "interference of diplomats and bureaucrats has limited the Voice's ability to tell the whole truth in a timely manner and has thus deprived the Voice of the credibility it needs to do its job as a representative voice of a free society." Percy also called for increasing broadcasts with greater transmission power and in more languages and urged President Carter to send Congress a reorganization plan dealing with the Voice of America by Sept. 30.

Bailey was immediately taken into custody by state police for transfer to Michigan, where he faces a two-to-four-year prison term for larceny. Moments before the order came down, Bailey said he expected to serve only six or eight months and hoped to return to Rhode Island immediately afterward to continue his attempts to claim his House seat. Bailey said Michigan has a policy of paroling within a short time inmates who have committed non-violent crimes. "My lawyers feel I'll do six months and maybe eight," he said.

Suspect on a 'mission1 LOS ANGELES (AP) Accused spy Andrew Daulton Lee implied on the day of his arrest that he was on a secret mission to Mexico City for the United States government, a U.S. vice consul testified yesterday.

Vice Consul Thomas Ferguson said, "The implication was very strong in his actions and words that he was on some sort of mission for our side and we should try to get him out of this Mexican jail."
