The state has awarded 22 grants
totaling $500,000 for the construction
and renovation of senior centers to serve
senior citizens throughout North Carol
ina, the assistant secretary of the
Division of Aging of the N.C. Depart
ment of Human Resources said in a
prepared statement released last month.
The grants included funds for the

Reagan, aides
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON President Reagan and his
senior advisers waded through the federal budget
again yesterday in search of $42 billion in savings
for next year that would allow tham to hold on to
the politically popular notion of a "freeze" on
government spending.
Administration documents being used in the
preparation of the budget for the next fiscal year,
however, show that holding spending at current levels
would yield only a fraction of the savings necessary
to get to the goal of holding the deficit to $170 billion.
Treasury Secretary Donald Regan, meanwhile,
reiterated that the administration sees deficit reduction
as the No. 1 priority, adding that the failure to stop
the flood of red ink "would discourage the rest of

Over the past few years, proposals
to change the state's pornography laws
have prompted heated debates in
legislative meetings between anti
pornography activists and those who
worry that the change would affect First
Amendment rights.
"It's an emotional issue, and people
don't think very clearly about it," said

in 59 counties. One of the goals of the
Division of Aging is to make senior
centers available to older citizens in all
100 counties of the state," Messer said.

service to communities, said June

Reagan met twice yesterday with a dozen aides to
go over ways to trim the $206 billion deficit projected
in fiscal 1986, which begins Oct. 1, 1985.
White House spokesman Larry Speakes said that
most of yesterday's discussions would be devoted to
domestic spending programs with military spending
due to be on the agenda next. He said the group
would meet again today to continue non-defense
discussions.
Posing for pictures with a group of congressmen,
Reagan was asked whether he would go along with
proposals to cut defense spending.
"We are in no position to talk about those things
yet," he said.

David Stockman has used in budget briefings with
congressional Republicans lists six categories of
government programs and outlines how a freeze would
apply to the programs in those categories of whether
a freeze could be applied at all. A copy of the document
was obtained by the The Associated Press.
For example, there are 19 programs listed ranging
from general revenue sharing and subsidies to the U.S.
Postal Service which already have been frozen, thus
no savings are possible without cuts.
Another category lists 15 programs such as
unemployment insurance and the highway trust fund
for which money comes from specific taxes, and
freezing outlays for those programs would do nothing
to trim the deficit.

304 dead from gas leak
From Associated Press reports
NEW DELHI, India Poison
ous gas leaking from an insecticide
plant seeped through a central
Indian city Sunday night, leaving 304
dead, thousands injured.
The death toll is expected to rise.
Arjun Singh, the chief minister of
the state of Madhya Pradesh, said
at a news conference the dead were
in Bhopal, the state capital, after the
gas leaked from the Union Carbide
India Ltd. plant there. He told
reporters at least 10,000 people were
injured. He said 2,000 people
remained hospitalized, and 8,000
others were treated at hospitals and
released.
Singh said the number of con
firmed deaths was expected to climb.
The United News of India said the
unofficial death toll was more than
500.
Cuba within rights
MIAMI Despite Pentagon
fears that Cubans might seize a
disabled American ship for political
purposes, a Cuban patrol boat was
"acting within maritime practice"
when it moved in to help, a Coast
Guard spokesman said.
The 105-foot Seaward Explorer,
a marine research vessel chartered by
the Navy to map the coast of Haiti,
was under tow back to Miami and
was expected to arrive in port
yesterday, Duty Officer Christopher
Kelly said.
The nuclear-powered aircraft
carrier Nimitz was scrambled from
St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands to
assist the Seaward Explorer, which
broke down Thursday and drifted
within the 12-mile territorial waters
claimed by Cuba.
The Nimitz and the nuclear
powered cruiser USS Arkansas,
which also headed for the area, never
arrived at the scene because the
Coast Guard cutter Reliance already
had arrived to tow the vessel home.

Dunn'added'tfiaf the yatueof the
American dollar is another barrier to
arresting the huge trade deficit. "We
are hoping the dollar will moderate,"
Dunn said.
"We are trying to keep running and
to keep people working. You cut
things to the bone so now the com
panies can't give money to scholar
ships or hospitals. Nothing can go into
the community."
According to Dunn, both state and
national textile industry groups are
pushing for global quotas and tougher
enforcement of existing quotas.
"They may have sweaters in China,
and they have reached their quota,"
he explained. "So they ship the sleeves
and the body of the sweaters to Korea,

NATO talks begin
BRUSSELS, Belgium NATO
defense ministers yesterday began
three days of talks at which they were
expected to boost conventional
defense spending an area which
officials said had been shortchanged
in recent years as attention focused
exclusively on nuclear arms in
Europe.
But the talks are overshadowed by
a new argument between rivals
Turkey and Greece over the status
of the Greek island of Lemnos in
the Northern Aegean.
Turkey planned to veto Greece's
national force goals for 1985-1991 as
a result, officials said. Force goals
are the pledges of the number and
types of troops and weapons avail

WASHINGTON Speaker Tho

O'Neill's nomination, behind the
closed doors of a caucus of the
Democratic members of the new
House, came a few hours after
Stenholm announced he would not
oppose the 71 -year-old liberal vete
ran of 32 years in Congress. To press
ahead, Stenholm said, "could very
well have become a destructive
situation rather than a constructive
one" for the Democratic Party.

Harold Davisf rjersonnel director at

global quotas need to be enforced. "If
the domestic market rises 3 percent,
then global quotas can rise 3 percent."
The only hope, for North Carolina
is for merchants and consumers to buy
American goods, Davis added. "Local
merchants need to be aware of
'Crafted with Pride,' " Davis said.
"You take all these people out of the
labor market, (and) the retailer is
going to see a disaster."
The high percentage of imports has
made North Carolina textile plants
ripe for mergers. "The industry is
moving into fewer and fewer and
theoretically stronger hands," said Jim
Conner, executive vice-president of
the American Yarn Spinners Associ
ation in Gastonia.
Instead of expensive modernizing,
some in the textile industry would
rather sell than fight, according to
Conner.
"Imports are hurting us bad, and
that's it in a nutshell," Callahan said.
"Something has to be done."
