decree published in July, five months after her arrest. Her trial

The military government of Nigeria, black Africa’s largest oil pro-

ing in oil because it was losing 11 million a day on such deals.

“This is the most sophisticated slating system I’ve seen," Cer-
vantes said.
He was called to testify by minority groups which argue that the
city’s at-large system of electing councilmen discriminates against
blacks and Mexican Americans
Cervantes said the system discourages minority candidates from
seeking office and affects minority voters adversely by making
them feel they cannot participate in the election process.
Placement on a slate, he said, assures a candidate that he will get
large amounts of money and endorsements.
He said the slat-makers now seek input from blacks and Mexican
Americans, but limit them to two council seats.

Reagan Interviewed by journal
NEW YORK (AP) — President Reagan in an interview published
today voiced doubts about a Treasury proposal to raise the corporate
tax burden, saying “I would have to be convinced of the need to do
that.”
But he strongly endorsed the overall concept of tax simplification
and said he wanted the Final bill on the subject to be “revenue
neutral,” meaning that government receipts would neither increase
nor decrease-
In the Oval Office interview with The Wall Street Journal, Reagan
was asked whether he favored the the approach of the Treasury’s
tax simplification proposal which would cut individual tax rates by
increasing corporate taxes by 37 percent.
He replied that he had not “even made an attempt to study that bill
in detail that much to know that. I assume that that would mean
things that would be taken away from them that are present deduc-
tions.”
“No, I would have to be convinced of the need to do that because
I’m a believer that one day we must recognize that only people pay
taxes,” he said. “And someday I would hope that we could arrive at
a tax structure that would recognize that you can’t tax things, you
only tax people.”
The president also said he disagreed with Budget Director David
Stockman’s assertion that military pensions were bloated, declar-
ing, “I have to think this is a little different that any other pension
program you want to name.”
American faces military trial
LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — An American businesswoman who could

tative Larry Combest has launched
an art competition for high school
students located in the 19th Congres-

Police Sgt. BiUy Jiohnson said a group of men who migrate to the
city annually from the East Coast knock on the doors of senior
citizens, claim they need to check a water or gas leak, then steal
cash and valuabtes once they enter the house
"They are vetyavery good at what they do,” Johnson said Thurs-
day. “They make a pretty good living off it. For five minutes’ work,
an average of 3200 to 5300 isn’t bad.”
Johnson said about 58 cases have been reported, and the gypsies
have passed through the city’s older neighborhoods since November,
he said.
An 83-year-old woman told the Houston Chronicle a man came to
her home and claimed he needed to check her pipes for the "water
department.” She later discovered he had taken three diamond
rings worth about 31,500.
