Republican Gov. Jim Martin listed several changes
he would like to see in President Reagan's tax reform
plan last week, particularly in the area of textiles.
But he supports the president's plan overall, said Tim
Pittman. Martin's press secretary.
Martin has proposed phasing out in 10 years the
tax credit on investments in textile equipment, but
Reagan wants it eliminated by next year.
The tax credit is essential to a hurting textile
industry trying to compete with foreign imports, said
Bryant Haskins, manager of media relations at
Burlington Industries.
In an effort to compete with cheaper imports, the
textile industry has undergone a modernization effort
during the last decade, Haskins said. If the tax credit
on investments was eliminated, the amount spent on
more efficient equipment would decrease.
"The tax structure in other countries is more
favorable toward their textile industries," he said. "It
is important for us to be able to compete with countries
like Japan who import so cheaply. The tax credit
is one tool we have, and if we lose it, it will hurt
us."
Dennis Julian, director of governmental relations
with the N.C. Textile Manufacturer's Association, said
Martin's proposal to phase out the credit in 10 years
is "more reasonable" because it would give the industry
time to prepare for the loss.
"You don't modernize in 10 years and then stop,"
he said. "It's an ongoing process. Machinery is
constantly being made more efficient, new methods
being developed. If the tax credits are continued, they
will continue to help us. If they are eliminated
well, some people say it could be devastating."
Pittman said Martin agreed with almost all of the
president's tax reform plan, except for the textile issue
and several other less critical issues.
Martin, against the president's intentions, wants to
retain tax deductions for families in which both
husbands and wives work outside the home. In North
Carolina, 49 percent of all families have both spouses
working compared to 41 percent nationwide. Martin
also wants to continue tax exemption of state and
local bonds used for construction of non-profit
educational facilities, low-cost housing and student
loans. '
"Martin has essentially agreed with the president's
plan except for textiles, which are so important to
North Carolina," Pittman said. "He will continue to
support the president but encourage his own
modifications every step of the way."
Scott Wilson, a textile-issues spokesman for Sen.
Jesse Helms, R.-N.C-. said that he regularly spoke
with textile representatives but that none of them had
expressed concern over the issue.
Hun East yet to announce plans fioir '86 campaigns
By CHARLES N. FERNANDEZ
Staff Writer
Sen. John East, R-N.C, and former
Gov. Jim Hunt have yet to decide
whether they will campaign for the
Senate in 1986 despite speculation from
political observers, as both still are
considering their options.
East supporters say they believe that
the incumbent senator's name will be
on the ballot Election Day.
"We take the formation of the
exploratory committee as a positive
indication that he will run," said Palmer
Sugg, press secretary for the East for
Senate organization. ,
Hunt supporters contacted at the
N.C. Democratic Headquarters, said
they had no idea what the former
governor would do. Hunt's law office
in Raleigh declined comment on his
status.
"I don't know what he is going, to
do," said Anne Hubbard, press secre
tary for the N.C. Democrats. "He is
consulting with many people about the

choice."
Thad Beyle, political science profes
sor, said he believed that Hunt would
run again for the Senate.
"If I had to bet, I say he would run,"
Beyle said.
He also said the amount of political
damage from last year's loss to Sen.
Jesse Helms would affect Hunt's deci
sion. "Last year's race might have hurt
Hunt's image in the public eye," he said.
It had been reported that Hunt would
make a decision by summer's end, but
Hubbard hinted that it could be later,
saying it might be an "Indian summer."
East has not announced a date for
revealing his decision.
East's health has caused some people
to speculate that the senator will not
seek a second term. He has been in the
hospital twice in the past year, but Sugg
said East's health had improved and had
allowed him to return to full-time work.
If East does not run, a battle could
develop for the Republican nomination
between moderate U.S. Rep. James
Broyhill and Congressional Club Chair
man Tom Ellis, a conservative.

dates if Hunt declines to run are fo$mer

U,. ends Sgt York program
From wire reports
WASHINGTON Defense
Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger
ended purchases of the Sgt. York
anti-aircraft Tuesday because its
performance did not justify its cost,
he said. The Defense Department
had not halted a major weapon
program since the 1960s.
The gun has cost the Pentagon
$1.8 billon since 1978. Some of the
$3 billion saved by the halting of the
program will be used to find another
way to protect tank and infantry
troops from enemy aircraft.

WASHINGTON The national
poverty rate is down nine-tenths of
a percentage point, the largest
decrease in 10 years. The rate is now
14.4 percent, the Census Bureau
reported Tuesday.
There are now 1.8 million fewer
poor people in the United States, in
a decline from 35.5 million in 1983

families headed by women, and for

Hape escort starts service early
The Rape and Assault Prevention
Escort service began Wednesday night
instead of the scheduled Sept. 10
opening in response to an increased
need for better security conditions on
campus, said David Spano, area direc

"We're opening early mainly because
of the kidnapping and because of the
security conditions on campus in
general," Spano said. "Some areas of
the campus are very dark and present
some danger.
