WASHINGTON (AP) -
The latest plan for basing the

posal rejected by Congress
two years ago, is awaiting
President Reagan's endorse-

congressional fight
A commission appointed by
Reagan proposed Monday
that 100 MX weapons should
be built and put in
Minuteman silos in Wyoming
and Nebraska and that a new.

BY BOB NIGH
MANAGING EDITOR
The fire departments in

will be getting a little more
compensation when the)
answer a call in the future,
thanks to action taken by the
Deaf Smith County Commis-
sioner's Court Monday
Firefighters in Dawn.

receive $100 for each fire they
fight in the future, a change
from the old $50 figure tlx*
departments got if the)
answered a call at which they
received help from another
department
In the past rural fire
departments got $100 for an
unaided call. and $50 if aided
The county fathers, acting
upon a request by Fire Mar-
shall Jay Spain Monday, ap-
proved a standard payment
of $100, regardless of the
number of departments
showing up at a blaze
Spain said he felt the in-
creased compensation was
needed The rural depart-
ments have helped cut down
greatly on the number of
county fires with the training
the volunteers have
received," he said.
Pct 3 Commissioner Bruce
Coleman agreed It’s such a
blessing and benefit to the
county for these guys to risk
temporary solution 16 months
ago. It was rejected then: it
should be rejected now.
Sen. J James Exon, a
Nebraska Democrat whose
slate would receive some of
the missiles, called the plan
"ridiculous."
A dangerous, expensive
fraud." was the reaction of
Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich.
Sen Mark Hatfield. R-Ore .
chairman of the Senate Ap-
propriations Committee, call-
ed the recommendations
nothing less than mad "
If the commission’s
recommendations are
adopted, we might as well
also announce that America
has adopted a first strike
nuclear strategy,” Hatfield
said
Rep Jack Edwards.
R-Ala., a key House MX sup-
porter. predicted a close vote
.lost people who were
against it are still against it."
Edwards said in a telephone
interview But ome
members who opposed the
since-discarded dense-pack
basing last year may vote for
the new deployment method
simply because it is the only
choice left, he said.
Sen Malcolm Wallop.
R-Wyo., said Congress will
probably approve the plan
My guess is that tlx* strug-
gle will be intense. the fight
will be difficult, and in the
end we’ll be successful."
The report was released
after the panel met with
Reagan, who didn't publicly
endorse it.
Instead, said White House
sources who declined to be
named, Reagan will probably
wait a week so the MX debate
doesn't detract from ad-
ministration efforts against a
House nuclear freeze resolu-
tion and in favor of Kenneth
Adelman, the embattled
arms control nominee
The administration says
the 10-warhead MX is needed
because the 1.000 Minuteman
missiles - the backbone of
America's land-based
nuclear force — is vulnerable
to a first strike by increasing-
ly accurate Soviet missiles
was challenged by
Republicans and Mexican-
Americans was apparently
still viewed as a Democratic
proposal when the House ten-
tative!) approved it after lit-
tle debate.
All the Republicans present
were joined by only six
Democrats in voting against
the plan Monday . which was
tentatively approved 91-41
The plan needs to be voted
upon again in the House
before going to the Senate
After the 1980 census,
lawmakers drew up new
districts for themselves, but
