European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - July 17, 1988, Darmstadt, Hesse Page 4 the stars and stripes sunday july 17,1988 Reagan advises voters to reject Iberal approach Washington up getting a jump on the democratic assemblage in Atlanta president Reagan cast the 1988 election saturday As an economic water shed and accused Michael Dukakis of charting a return to the failed policies of the As you watch the convention in at Lanta next week Reagan said in his weekly radio address i urge you to ask yourself this question is the democratic party and its nominee for president going to keep taxes Low and government growth under control or Are they going to go Back to the very policies that could wreck our Economy yet again in a preemptive rebuttal to the themes expected to be sounded in Atlanta Reagan advised democrats to keep in mind that after inheriting an econ omy in a mess he has presided Over a record 67 months of expansion the Low est unemployment in years and a surge of investment and innovation. Crediting his policies of tax cuts and limited government for this economic Well being he also painted Dukakis As an adherent of a Liberal View that is suspicious of free markets and private enter prise and jeopardizes continued Prosperity. Reagan called the Choice Between Dukakis and vice president George Bush an historic Opportunity to reject the Liberal approach that nearly wrecked the Economy the last time the democrats were in charge and instead choose the continuation of his own economic pro Gram. At the same time he began the Effort of re establishing the inroads he made among democrats in 1980 and 1984 by placing Dukakis Jesse Jackson and other party leaders to the left of right minded rank and file democrats. Sadly the leaders in charge of the convention will want to take America Back to the failed policies of the past he said. It s ironic in t it that just As countries around the world Are adopting the same pro growth policies our administration put in place so Many in the democratic party want to go in the opposite Reagan neither mentioned Dukakis by name nor offered details to support his attacks on the policies advocated by the soon to be democratic nominee. Unlike Walter Mondale in 1984, Dukakis has avoided the trap of taking a Concrete position on higher taxes or How to reduce the deficit. His rival for the White House Bush hardened his stand against tax hikes after first describing them Only As a last resort to reduce the deficit. But in the democratic response to Reagan sen. Tom Harkin a Iowa insisted that the Economy is where this administration has left us the weakest and said it s time to replace the aimless Drift of the past eight years with a new sense of direction. For eight years our ship of state s been Drifting he said. The Captain s been asleep at the wheel. And his first mate does t seem to Ever be on deck when decisions Are republicans scoffed at the criticism. In the face of Low unemployment sustained growth and Low inflation one Bush Campaign aide said there s no Way the democrats can legitimately use the Economy against Reagan delivered the broadside at Dukakis on the eve of his departure for California where he will spend the week out of Public sight at his Mountaintop ranch.

A consumer advocate Ralph Nader has come Home again. But the mayor wishes he d mind his own business and stay in washing ton. You know Ralph Nader is not the King of Winsted said mayor James d. O Meara. The two men have battled for the past two years Over a school that Nader and his family attended. Nader led a drive to save and renovate the big red Brick building built in 1900. O Meara wanted the Mary p. Hinsdale Best Sellers school flattened because of structural problems and replaced with a modern Structure. The mayor won with the backing of a majority of the voters and demolition began july 6. That prompted Nader to launch an investigation by his Public interest re search group into How Winsted decides issues of great Public interest. Nader said he had been planning for some time to investigate ways in which governments obstruct citizen participation and decided last month that there was no better place to Start than his Hometown. There s a bipartisan agreement in Winsted that historically the town has not been governed Well that the plan Ning process has been poor he said. The Battle to save the school was highly emotional and led to numerous Public hearings a petition drive and a court Battle. Nader and his supporters sought and lost two referendums the last one by a 2-1 margin in May. The school was located around the Corner from the Nader family Home. Nader 54, was a student there from 1939 to 1943. Another graduate was David Halberstam the author and journalist. Nader and his sister Claire Nader who is still a Winsted resident sought to have the school protected under state and National historic preservation regu lations but that was rejected because a portion of the school was torn Down in 1950, when a Wing was added. Nader s problem is that he s highly personalized this thing the 45-year-Oldmayor said. Compiled by the new York times fiction 1alaska by James a.
