V 2The Daily Tar Heel Wednesday, February 24, 1988 DunksiMs campaign min momentum By AMY W1NSL0W Staff Writer Boosted by a big win in New Hampshire and a second place finish in Iowa, Mass. Gov. Michael Duka kis has been able to maintain his presidential campaign momentum and leads the Democratic national field with 21 percent, according to the latest polls. And although campaign organizers say Dukakis must give a good showing in the Southern primaries, he has continually stressed that he is running a national campaign. "The single most important reason he's running is to restore a govern ment that respects the law," said Ed Gresser, assistant to the national securities issues director. The domestic budget deficit, Latin America, the Third World debt and the restoration of a more efficient government are major focuses of the Dukakis campaign, Gresser said. He supports stabilizing the military budget, although he hasn't proposed any outright reductions, increasing tax compliance, bringing interest rates down and raising taxes only as a last resort, Gresser said. "He has balanced nine budgets," Gresser said, "and he is the only current candidate who has had to balance a budget." He opposes the Gephardt trade amendment, would encourage Amer- Campaign '88 ican companies to expand into the world market, and has said it "may be necessary -at times to impose some barriers to trade." Dukakis has said he opposes U.S. military aid to the contras, supports a Contadora peace agreement in Central America and supports the Arias Peace Plan. He also favors tougher economic sanctions and diplomatic pressures against the South African govern ment and restrictions on South African gold and diamond imports, Gresser said. He would strongly push for the independence of Namibia and the release of political prisoners, he said. Dukakis also says he would call for an end to the ban of the African National Congress and would work for a Allied trade embargo against South Africa. "He would take all feasible mea sures to end apartheid," Gresser said. A Middle East peace agreement would also be a central goal in Dukakis's foreign policy. He supports strengthening ties with Israel, main taining economic and military assist ance to Israel and Egypt and opposes arms sales that "would endanger the security of Israel." He opposes negotiations with the Palestinian Liberation Organization "until that group denounces terrorism and recognizes the right of Israel to exist." He supports the Intermediate range Nuclear Force (INF) treaty and has said one of his early priorities would be a complete test ban. He also supports the Strategic Arms Reduc tion Treaty (START), the restriction of strategic missiles by 50 percent or more and limiting the testing and deployment of anti-satellite weapons. Dukakis supports welfare reform, the increase of available low income housing and the establishment of a $250 million National Teaching Excellence Fund, which would pro vide college scholarships to young people willing to teach after they receive a degree. He also favors a review of the existing federal student loan program and has said he would "end the current administration's assault on Pell Grants and college work loans." He supports the creation of an "Education Insurance Fund," which would allow students to repay their college loans through payroll with holding depending upon future earnings. Dukakis, who is known for his gubernatorial work in turning the Democrats challenge Martin's facts By CHRIS SONTCHI Staff Writer Republican N.C. Gov. Jim Mar tin has strayed from the truth about economic development and inflated his resume as governor, the N.C. Democratic Party chairman said Thursday. The Democratic Party is launch ing a "Beg Your Pardon, Gov. Martin" campaign, said chairman Jim Van Hecke. A Martin campaign publication falsely claimed that a British company, GKN, had not invested in North Carolina before Martin's 1985 industrial ' recruiting trip to Europe, said Margaret Lawton, N.C. Democratic Party press secretary. The publication also said that since that trip GKN had invested over $12 million in North Carolina, she said. In fact, GKN had announced plans in 1978 to build an automo tive parts facility in Lee County within a year, along with a $60 million plant in Alamance County, she said. The claim about GKN was an honest mistake, said Tim Pittman, Martin's campaign press secretary. "The funny thing is that we don't need this company to prove our achievement in economic recruit ing," Pittman said. MIn three years we've brought in $15 billion in investments a state record and created 300,000 jobs." Pittman said the press confer ence was part of an ongoing effort by the Democrats to cast a negative image around the governor that won't stick and the Martin cam paign wasn't overreacting to it. "We're basically laughing at this gnashing of teeth," he said. Democratic gubernatorial candi date Bob Jordan was not directly involved with the press conference but applauded it, said John Crumpler, Jordan's campaign manager. "It's our position that Gov. Martin hasn't done anything as governor and we're all for anything that shows this," he said. But Robert Jones, communica tions director for the N.C. Repub lican Party, dismissed the press conference as "another campaign gimmick." Jones said he was skeptical about the Democratic Party's attempt to keep the public from being misinformed. "Having the Democrats as a watchdog of truth is like putting the rabbit in charge of the cabbage patch," he said.

Company must clean landfill Dole takes Republican primaries; Gephardt, Dukakis each win one From Associated Press reports Sen. Bob Dole scored an impres sive victory in the South Dakota Republican primary Tuesday night with Vice President George Bush far behind. Rep. Richard Gephardt won the race on the Democratic side. Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis, bidding for a victory outside his native New England, led in early returns in Minnesota's Democratic caucuses. He was run ning second to Gephardt in South Dakota. Bush virtually conceded defeat in advance in both Midwestern states, putting up little effort and focusing instead on the South. Tuesday's voting gave the field of presidential hopefuls a chance to show electoral strength before the Southern festival of primaries and caucuses known as Super Tuesday on March 8. And Dole, bouncing back from a drubbing at Bush's hands last week in New Hampshire, was making the most of it in his Midwestern home ground. In returns from 80 percent of South Dakota's 1,151 precincts, Dole had 36,789 or 56 percent of the vote compared to 12,546 or 19 percent for former television evangelist Pat Robertson and 11,943 or 18 percent for Bush. Rep. Jack Kemp trailed with 5 percent. With 83 percent of the Democratic precincts reporting in South Dakota, Gephardt had 23,849 or 45 percent and Dukakis 15,600 or 30 percent. The also-rans were Sen. Albert Gore Jr., at 9 percent, and Gary Hart with 6 percent. Jesse Jackson had 5 percent, as did Sen. Paul Simon, fighting for survival in the Demo cratic race. In Minnesota, results from 30 percent of the precincts gave Dole 43 percent to 29 percent for Robertson. Kemp was third with 15 percent, and Bush was running fourth with 10 percent. The Democratic caucus procedure: there was complicated, and returns! were expected to trickle in well pasC midnight. Dukakis grabbed a lead irC the early returns. With just 4 percent: of the precincts reporting, DukakisC; had 36 percent of the vote, Simon; had 17 percent and Jackson 16 percent, with Gephardt trailing at 8T; percent and Hart last at 1 percent. Gephardt and Dukakis both pro' nounced themselves well pleased. t "Tonight is a Gephardt night, crowed the Missouri congressman;- "A few days ago we were behind h the polls. I think when you wake up in the morning youll see it's a greaf , victory." Dukakis said he had run well "righ in the back yard of both Gephardt? and Simon. "If we can continue tf do consistently well as we did tonight we're going to win this nominatiot for the presidency," he said.
