WASHINGTON ' AP > — A House subcommittee, everyone by the same amount • ' •
while rejecting an administration proposal for an ' Stark did not call it a tax. instead referring to the
increase in. Medicare health in- measure as an income-related premium collected
taXYO oe pa:<2 t>y eldefiy recipients, with incomes name, he said, it was fairer than atfattocrea^.
In his 1986 budget proposal. President Reagan
said individuals are paying too little of the cost of
their Medicare Part B coverage. When the
coverage was established, he said, individuals paid
30 percent of the cost But the premium increase
has been sharply restricted, he said, and the cur-
rent premium of $15.50 a month pays less than a
quarter of the program's costs
Reagan’s proposed solution would have boosted
the premium to $16.80 in 1986. and continued
boosting it by two percentage points a year for the
above $20.00Q
The House Ways and Means subcommittee on
health approved the tax Monday as part of a
package of Medicare changes that could go to the
full Ways and Means committee next week.
It would aflect individuals with incomes above
$20,000 and couples with incomes above $40,000 who
participate in Medicare, the government’s health
insurance program for the elderly and disabled.
Rep. Pete Stark. D-Calif.. the subcommittee’s
chairman, said the proposal was drafted as an

blast history
textbooks
AUSTIN (AP) - Several
housewives say history tex-
tbooks proposed for use in Texas
classrooms portray housewifery
as a less than noble occupation
Jennifer Amo of Hurst, who
called herself a “domestic
engineer,” told the State Tex-
tbook Committee Monday that
her children have questioned her
about her decision to Work at
home.
“I have personally made a
choice, not an echo, in determin-
ing my lifestyle,” she said. “My
children have been influenced by
much of this biased textbook
material. They’ve asked me why
I didn’t work. It’s demeaning.”
The committee, which will
recommend textbooks to the
State. Board of Education, open-
ed thiree days of hearings Mon-
day with public comments about
history books. Mrs. Amo
and other women complained
that textbook publishers have
gone too far to satisfy feminists.
Ada Ferguson, an Austin PTA
official, said young girls should
be taught not to feel “put down,
unelightened or unfulfilled” if
-they decide to become
housewives. She also complain-
ed some of the books do not men-
tion Phyllis Schlafly, a leader of
the anti-Equal Rights Amend-
ment movement.
Mrs. Amo agreed, saying, “It
is impossible to present an ac-
curate view of the women's
movement or the ERA without
even mentioning Phyllis Schlaf-
ly or her successful campaign
against ratification of the ERA.
"Irrespective of biased opi-
nion against the non-feminist
philosophy, it Js history and it

Longview offered brief remarks
and a lengthy prill ted analysis of
the history texts. He said many
of the books do not meet state
law.
"Ignores or understates the
alternative to the Reagan administration's plan to next four years
raise premiums for Medicare Part B coverage. Stark s subcommittee agreed to increase the in-
which pays doctor bills. The administration pro- come from premiums by about $400 million over
posal would have raised the monthly fee for three years.

People for the American Way,

Baytown Planning Commis-
sion has granted preliminary ap-
proval of plans to convert two
apartment complexes to con-
dominiums.
In approving the plans, the
commission granted a variance
to density requirements, citing
adjacent open space owned by
Harris County Flood Control
District.
Commissioners also stipulated
that both Kentwood, at 3800
Baker Road and Spanish Villa,
1000 Northwood Drive, must also
meet all other city code re-
quirements.
The commission took its action
despite the fact that drawings
and fees had not been delivered
by the owner of the complexes.
In a letter to the commission,
H. Paul Smith, owner of Kent-
wood and Spanish Villa, stated
that his plans call for "extensive
beautification and rehabilita-
tion" prior to the conversion to
condominiums.
In other business, the commis-
sion granted preliminary ap-
proval of Bramor. an existing
128-lot mobile home park on
Massey-Tompkins Road as a
subdivision exclusively for
mobile homes. The difference
between the park and the sub-
division is that residents may
purchase, rather than lease, lots
in the subdivision.
' in- its last meeting, as re-
quested by Owners of Bramor,
the commission recommended
approval of amendments to the
subdivision ordinance specifical-
ly providing for such mobile
home subdivisions. City Council
subsequently approved the
amendment that allows the
minimum lot size for the location
of single-wide mobile homes to
be smaller than that currently
required for a single-family
dwelling. The same minimum
lot size required for single-
family dwellings — 5,400 square
feet — was adopted as that re-
quired for double-wide mobile
homes.
In other business, commis-
sioners granted final approval of
plans for Main Plaza, a commer-
cial development for mini-
warehouses located on almost 8
acres north of Hartman Drive on
North Main. '
