Carter moving
toward tax cut
By ROBERT PARRY
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) -
President Carter, caught in a
congressional frenzy for an
election-year tax cut, is moving
reluctantly toward supporting
a 1981 tax reduction. The
biggest question now appears
to be when.
, "There's no question in all of
our minds that there will be a
tax cut in 1981," House Speaker
Thomas P. O’Neill Jr. said
to combat inflation.
Ironically, the new push for
cutting taxes is considered
almost certain to doom already
fading hopes for balancing the
budget.for the first time in 12
years.
O’Neill said the House Ways
and Means Committee will
begin hearings on the tax issue,
perhaps as early as during this
month’s congressional recess.
White House press secretary
Jody Powell confirmed
Tuesday after he and other \ Tuesday that Carter is studying
Democratic leaders conferred the extent and timing of a tax
with Carter.
O'Neill said the main
question i*%hether to enaefthe
cut before or after the
November elections. However,
he conceded that Carter "had
not coihmitted himself (on a
tax cut) at this tijne.”
Political pressure for a tax
cut began to build on
Democrats last week when
Ronald Reagan, the likely GOP
presidential nominee, proposed
a $38 billion cut effective Jan. 1
and Senate Republicans tried to
attach it to pending legislation.
■” To head off a stampede of
jittery Democrats in support of
the GOP plan, Senate
Democratic leaders promised
to propose their own tax cut by
Sept. 3.
The pledge caught House
Democrats and the White
House by surprise and promp-
ted a frantic reassessment of
administration economic
policies and the impaot of a tax
cut on inflation and the
deepening recession.
At the White House meeting
Tuesday, Carter and the
Democratic leaders agreed to
hold discussions on a tax cut,
similar to sessions'last March
that produced a call for a
balanced 1981 budget as a way
cut, but he said the president
remains concerned about "the
ability to produce a reasonable
and responsible product before
the election."
Powell said Carter still
prefers ’to delay action until
after the election.
Asked Monday - if he had
changed his mind on a tax cut
this year, Carter replied, "No, I
don’t think' so."
But Powell told reporters
Tuesday, "We’ve obviously,
been looking at what a 1981 tax
cut, if advisable, would look
like.”
While several reports in-
dicate the administration’s
mid-year economic and budget
review will forecast a possible
$25 bUlion tax cut in 1981,
Powell declared that “ab-
solutely no decisions have been
made” about the timing, size or
form of a reduction.
One official, who asked not to
be identified, said the ad-
ministration is concerned that
if it makes an early com-
mitment to a tax cut and the
Organization of Petroleum
Exporting Countries "goes
bonkers again” and sends oil
prices skyrocketing, "we could
be — pow! 4- right back up to 18
to 20 percent inflation again.”
Ocean Spray sets campaign

this week.
Thy new manufacturing and distribution
plant on East Industrial Drive here was
the focal point of a presentation held in
Dallas Tuescjay night by the giant food
cooperative. At the session, leading
grocery wholesalers' and chain store
representatives were presented in-
formation relative to the new Texas
operation of Ocean Spray. 1
Pat McCarthy, vice president of sales
from the company’s Plymouth, Mass.,
headquarters, told the marketing
representatives that the opening of the
Sulphur Springs facility marked a new
effort in the Dallas-Fort Worth and
Houston markets. *

peed bottling lines has been underway
since April. Production presently is being
stored at the plant as inventories are built
up ahead of the July 28 starting day for
distribution.
McCarthy said that the Sulphur Springs
facility will enable Ocean Spray to offer
on-time deliveries and the convenience of
buyer pickups in the Southwest region.
Previously, this area of the nation was
served from an Ocean Spray plant in
Kenosha, Wis.
The Sulphur Springs plant has the
capability to process Ocean Spray’s full
line of cranberry drinks and grapefruit
juice as well as serving as a distribution
center for all of the company's products,
McCarthy added. The local plant has not
as yet begun production of grapefruit
products, however, ■
The Ocean Spray officer also noted that
nationally the brand is the top seller in the
canned and bottled juice drink category.
He said this represented major strides
forward for the cooperative, which 15
years ago was limiting product sales to
cranberry sauce.
Ocean Spray has grown from annual
sales of $25 million in 1963 to over $235
million this year, he said.
■ Ocean Spray acquired the 154,000 square
foot plant on 17.4 acres of land in the
Sulphur Springs industrial park a year
ago. It was' purchased from the Con-
solidated Foods Corporation, which had
discontinued candy manufacturing1
operations there a number of years
earlier.
McCarthy«said the Sulphur Springs
location offers “plenty of room for ex-
pansion in conjunction with Ocean Spray’s
commitment to the southwest. ”
Carter renews draft
The mail must go through
B.J. Adams was dressed for the occasion Tuesday as he made
his mail rounds, but admitted he still found the heat "rough”.
Sulphur Springs has been like the rest of Texas as it experiences
extremely hot weather, with more of the same in sight for
several days yet Adams says he walks about 12 miles each day
on his mail route. ,

’WASHINGTON (AP) - President
Carter made it official today: American
men aged 19 and 20 are being told to sign
up later this month so the government will
have potential conscripts waiting if the
draft is revived.
The president signed a proclamation at a
White House ceremony ordering the young
men to sign up at post offices between July
21 and Aug. 2.
Draft registration, he said, "is not to
threaten war but is to preserve peace.”
“It’s a precautionary measury,” he
said. “It is desinged to make our country
strong." ,• r
Carter proposed renewed draft
registration in the-wake of the Soviet
Union's military thrust into Afghanistan,
and he used the Cabinet Room ceremony
to renew his «riticism of that move.
. “We are deeply concerned about the
unwarranted and vicious invasion of
Afghanistan by the Soviet Union,” the
president said, praising the “freedom
fighters” who have opposed the Soviets in
Afghanistan as offering the best deterrent
to Moscow.
Surrounded by congressional and other
supporters of draft registration — all of
that “this is not a draft. ”
, “lam not in favor of a peacetime draft,”
he said, stating that the United States "will
continue to rely on voluntary enlistment”
to meet military manpower needs.
The president said that $1 billion was
included in the coming federal budget to
encourage enlistments and re-enlistments.
Despite its limited scope, registration,
the first since 1975, has proven con-
troversial. Congress approved money to
system only after a Senate
them well beyond the age of those affected
by the proclamation — Carter emphasized
run the
filibuster; opponents have threatened
demonstrations; and the American Civil
Liberties Union has filed suit to block it.
But the director of Selective Service,
Bernard Rostker, emphasized Tuesday
that only standby registration is involved
for now, and that action by Congress would
be necessary before conscription could
take place.
Registration is necessary, he added,
because there would not be enough time in
the event of a national emergency to
conduct registration. But opponents of
registration have noted a Selective Service
report, which officials later disavowed,
that said the standby program would save
only seven days.
Twenty-year-old men, those born in 1960,
will register the week of July 21. To avoid
crowding, men born in January, February
and March are asked to register that
Monday, those born April through June on
Tuesday, July through September on
Wedhesday and those born in October,
November and December on Thursday.
The week of July 28 will follow the same
pattern for men born in 1961.
Officials said these day-by-day
schedules are intended only as a guideline/
and that individuals can register anytime
during the period.
People who don’t register can be subject
to five years in prison or a $10,000 fine and
officials say they will enforce the law.
Carter originally proposed registering
both men and women, but Congress
rejected that idea, limiting it to men. That
action formed the basis for the ACLU suit,
which contends the program discriminates
against men. a
While youths aged 19 and*20 will be
registered this year, starting in January,
men born in 1962 will register, and from
then on registration will be required on or
near the date men turn 18.
There won’t be any draft cards to carry
in wallets — or bum in protest. Instead,
young men will be asked to go to their
nearest post office — not including con-
tract offices in stores — to fill out a form.
Those forms will be sent to Selective
Service, which will use them to form a
master list, eventually intended to include
all men aged 18 to 26.
