Go to House for vote
Senate-.passes price supports: for tobacco
The A-xMtetatMl Press ,
WASHINGTON In one of the closest votes ever on
tobacco legislation, the Senate voted 41-40 Friday to re
ject an attempt to change the federal tobacco price sup
port program.
Friday's vote on a four-year, multibillion dollar com
modity price support package for the nation's farmers
left the tobacco program untouched. The farm bill now
goes to the House.
An amendment offered by Sen. Thomas Eagleton,
D-Mo., that would have reduced some tobacco support
prices was defeated after Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., was
persuaded to change his vote.
The amendment, which would have given the U.S.
agriculture secretary theauthority to cut by 25 percent
price-support loans for tobacco that he decided were not
competitive with imported tobacco, was rejected by a
48-45 vote late Thursday.
Eagleton said earlier he would offer an amendment to
prevent non-farmers from owning tobacco allotments,
but changed his mind because the measure lacked sup
port. The four-year farm bill, approved 49-32, underwent
significant changes in the dairy and peanut programs
early in the week, but a Senate coalition of commodity
interests voted together to head off the attack on the
tobacco price support program.
Jesse Helms and John East, North Carolina's Repub
lican senators, voted with the majority for the farm bill.
Helms said the vote was particularly close because
"we had some of our people out of town."
Terming the Eagleton measure a "harassing amend
ment," Helms said: "I never pretended the tobacco pro
gram does not have political problems. It had political
problems the first day I walked on the Senate floor."
Helms said the program's problems would not go
away and that the Senate Agriculture Committee, which
he chairs, probably would hold tobacco program
hearings this year or next year.
East, in a prepared statement, called the vote "a vic
tory for all of North Carolina and its economy" and
"ample evidence of the effective leadership for North
Carolina that Sen. Jesse Helms provides...,"
Helms also criticized his political rival, Democratic
Gov. Jim Hunt, suggesting Hunt was not helpful in de
fending the program. But he stopped short of saying that
Hunt supported the'' Eagleton amendment.
"We had great difficulty because of mixed signals
from Jim Hunt," Helms said. "The fact remains, Gov.
Hunt and Sen. Eagleton conferred and engaged in con
versation during the development of the so-called Eagle
ton amendment."
Although he originally said there could be some merit
to Eagleton's amendment, Hunt later came out against
the measure.
Helms and East also voted with the majority for a re
duced target price program as drafted by the Agriculture
Committee. The program was approved 46-39.
The tobacco program survived its most serious attack
Thursday after the Senate.rejected 53-42 an amendment
by Sen. Mark O. Hatfield, R-Ore., that would have killed
the entire program.
On Wednesday, senators from North Carolina and
other peanut states accepted a compromise that would
continue peanut quotas and support prices but end pea
nut acreage allotments for holders who do not till the
land.
An allotment is a government permit to plant a set
number of acres. A quota is the number of pounds of
produce that the allotment owner may harvest and sell.
Reacting strongly to the remark by Helms that Hunt
contributed to. the near defeat of the tobacco program by
endorsing parts of a plan to amend it, Hunt said Satur
day Helms made a mistake when he said Hunt had
talked with Eagleton about plans to alter the program.
"1 have not talked with Sen. Eagleton, as Sen. Helms
erroneously indicates, but I have communicated to him
and to other Democrats North Carolina's very strong
opposition to his efforts to damage our tobacco pro
gram," Hunt said.
Hunt also said Helms must bear the responsibility for
losing a vote in the peanut program.
"Sen. Helms must take responsibility for what
happens to our farm programs on the floor of the Republican-controlled
Senate, and this week our peanut
program lost a vote in that chamber for the first time in
its history.
"The tobacco program came within one vote of the
same fate, and was more seriously threatened than it ever
has been before."
Hunt said North Carolina Democrats had done their
part, and that he had done all he could from Raleigh to
help protect North Carolina's programs while they were
being voted upon in Washington.
"The tobacco and peanut programs are not partisan
issues, because we need Democratic and Republican
votes to protect these commodity programs. But it is
clearly the Republican Party's responsibility to protect
pur tobacco program on the floor of the Republican
controlled Senate," Hunt said.
In a statement to The Associated Press, Helms said
Saturday he accepted Hunt's word that he did not com-y
municate with Eagleton about the amendment;
"I agree with the governor that it is going ttake the
united efforts of all of, us, both Democrat and Repub
lican, to preserve the program. That is precisely the point
I made yesterday," Helms said.

Cabinet meets to discuss crisis
WARSAW, Poland (AP) Premier Wojciech Jaruzelski called his Cabinet
and leaders of major cities and provinces to an emergency meeting' Sunday on
urgen political, social and economic matters, the official news agency PAP said.
. The state-run news outlet quoted a government communique as saying that
the leaders discussed the "state of readiness" of the government and made "iri
dispensible decisions' to prepare for "various needs and eventualities."
The communique was vaguely worded and made no direct reference to Soviet
warnings that authorities must crack down on the independent labor union
Solidarity.
PAP, without citing specifics, indicated the economic crisis was a chief topic.
300 drown in Amazon accident
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (AP) An Amazon riverboat sank in the north
ern jungle port of Obidos Saturday, and port officials said more than 300 people
were believed to have drowned.
Capt. Elio Palhares told The Associated Press by telephone that 178 of the
estimated 500 people aboard swam to safety.
Four bodies were dragged out of the water, but the captain said there was little
hope the other passengers who fell or jumped into the swift waters survived.
Obidos is in far northern Brazil, roughly 2,000 miles northwest of Rio de
Janeiro.
"The boat had tied up in port. Suddenly it began taking on water. People
started screaming and ran to the side that was highest above the river. Then the
boat went down," Palhares said.
The boat, a relatively modern metallic vessel, was making its weekly run be
tween the Amazon River ports of Santarem and Manaus.
Sadat limits Egyptian politico
CAIRO, Egypt (AP) President Anwar Sadat, in an interview published
today, said there would be no new political parties or publications in Egypt un
til guidelines were set for "proper democratic behavior."
In an interview in his National Democratic Party's newspaper, Mayo, Sadat
also said his government was preparing measures to "crush laxity everywhere"
in Egyptian life. "We shall chase it even in the homes," the Egyptian president
said. , , '
Sadat, in a recent crackdown on political and religious opponents, banned
seven publications three by Moslem groups, two Coptic Christian weeklies,
an independent political monthly and the weekly newspaper of the opposition
Socialist Labor Party.
He justified the moves by saying they had "contributed" to fanning the
flames of sectarian strife in Egypt. About 70 people have died in the conflicts
this year.
Racist convicted, may face death
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Joseph Paul Franklin, who faces the death pen
alty after being convicted of murder, met with his lawyers Sunday to decide
whether to seek sentencing from a judge or a jury.
Attorney David Yocom, who helped represent Franklin at his three-week
trial in the sniper siayings of two mack joggers, said the 3 l-year-old avowed
racist rnust decide by this morning whether to ask 3rd District Judge Jay E.
Banks or the jury that convicted him to decide punishment.
Utah law allows execution by firing squad or life imprisonment for conviction
on charges of first-degree murder.
Franklin, originally from Alabama, was found guilty early Saturday morning
of killing Ted Fields, 20, and David Martin, 18, on Aug. 20, 1980, as they jog
ged near a park with two white teenage girls.
The all-white jury deliberated five hours before returning the guilty verdict.
