Unattended bikes are prime targets for theft,
according to Sgt. Ted Langgood of the
Hereford Police Department, whether left in
yards or parking lots. Langgood said learning
to secure a bike after use, either in a garage or
with a sturdy lock and chain, is the best way to
prevent theft. Langgood suggested good key
locks with chains looped through the wheel
and body of the bike or looped around a pole
for securing bikes while riding.

Bentsen Calls
For Farm Aid
Texas Senator Lloyd Bentsen yesterday
called on President Reagan to form a Cabinet-
level task force to help resolve crises current-

Sen. Bentsen’s letter to the President came
on the heels of a tour of Panhandle-South
Plains farms by a federal task force.
John Ford, deputy assistant ag secreatary,
said he would give “the strongest report possi-
ble" to Ag Secretary John Block, "But this is
probably the worst time to be looking for
money in Washington.”
In his letter, Bentsen asked that the
secretaries of agriculture, commerce and the
treasury be appointed to the task force which

multi-year cut enacted last
year that, when fully effec-
tive in 1984, will slash in-
dividual tax rates by an
average of 23 percent. Taxes
were cut by about 1.25 per-
cent and withholding rates
reduced by 5 percent last Oct.
1. The third stage will be a
10-percent reduction in
withholdings on July 1,1983.
Starting today, paychecks
will show a cut averaging
about 10 percent in federal in-
come taxes withheld. Any
wages paid today or later
should reflect the full reduc-
tion, even if the money is for
work done before today.

There has been much discussion and controversy over
the jury verdict handed down for John Hinckley, the
would-be assasin of the President.
We had the opportunity to discuss the case with District
Judge Wesley Gulley the other day, and he says many
reporters are in error in saying that Hinckley was found
"innocent by reason of insanity.”
The judge points out that the verdict was "not guilty by
reason of insanity". and there is a difference Everyone
knows that Hickley shot the President and wounded three
others He is not innocent, but the system provides that he
can be found "not guilty" under the law.
Judge Gulley biieves the system could make some
changes concerning insanity as a defense. He points out
that the Federal definition of insanity differs from the
definition in Texas courts.
In the federal court, the government had the burden to
prove the defendant was sane at the time of the shooting"
in Texas courts, such a defendant would have to prove
