Economic point of view

Dukakis, Bush offer opposite pictures of American economy

By the Associated Press Democrat Michael Dukakis and Republican George Bush are offering starkly different views of the nation’s economy as they head into the decisive two months of the 1988 presidential campaign. Dukakis said at a Labor Day rally in Detroit that under the Republicans “the rich have gotten richer; the poor have gotten poorer.” HE SAID MILLIONS of highpaying jobs have been replaced by low-wage positions, and asked: “Can we afford four more years of that?” Republican rival Bush touted economic gains under the Reagan administration, saying the administration has created “17 Vi million jobs, more disposable income for the American people, lower taxes. ... And all my opponent can do is tell the American people how bad things are.” The vice president said the campaign is “about protecting the gains we’ve made in jobs and peace and it’s about how to make new breakthroughs in both areas.” After full schedules on Labor Day, the symbolic opening of the fall campaign, the Republican and Democratic candidates with the exception of GOP vice presidential nominee Dan Quayle remained on the road. BUSH WAS ON THE West Coast for appearances in Oregon and Washington, while Dukakis had events scheduled in Illinois and Ohio.

MICHAEL DUKAKIS Trickle down not trickling

Texas Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, joined Dukakis at a Labor Day picnic in St. Louis and then headed back to the South. Quayle was back in Washington after Labor Day appearances at the Statue of Liberty and at an ethnic parade in Detroit About 125 anti-abortion activists, by police estimates, were at a Dukakis appearance in Philadelphia. They waved signs and chanted, “Life yes, abortion no. Duke of death must go.” People carrying DukakisBentsen signs stood at the back of the crowd at a Bush appearance in San Diego and shouted: “Where was George?” ABOUT 30 MEMBERS of a

Democratic opponent, according to Mutz’s running mate, Stephen Goldsmith. Goldsmith is “frustrated” and disagrees with some strategies used by Lt. Gov. Mutz, who has been trailing Democrat Evan Bayh in polls. “I KEEP TELLING him you can’t be a good governor if you aren’t governor,” Goldsmith said in an interview published today in The Indianapolis Star. One poll showed Mutz 6 percentage points behind Bayh with 16 percent undecided. “It’s more fun being ahead,” said Goldsmith, who won his third term as prosecutor in 1986 by topping the GOP ticket with 127,407 votes. However, the Marion County prosecutor also said he admired Mutz for putting his convictions ahead of politics. GOLDSMITH SAID he has been arguing with Mutz, trying to persuade him to rebut “misleading

In San Diego, a man with a stun gun on his belt was taken into custody at the Bush campaign rally, but he was later released. “The person did nothing to present a harm to either the vice president or anyone else there,” said Steve Sergek, Secret Service special agent in charge of the San Diego field office. The Secret Service said another man, who was carrying what police believed was a bomb, was arrested in Hamtramck, Mich., shortly before Quayle’s arrival there. The

Goldsmith said he particularly wanted to attack Bayh for claiming he turned down a pay raise and that he led the fight to return license branch profits to the people. Goldsmith said Bayh was never offered a raise, and it was Gov. Robert D. Orr and Mutz who took license branch control away from Republicans and “that has meant that lots and lots of Republicans are mad at us.” MUTZ SAID Monday that while Bayh’s television ad was a “barefaced misrepresentation,” negative campaigning doesn’t accomplish much and isn’t his style. Mutz’s campaign manager, Michael D. McDaniel, said, “John is always positive and upbeat and talking about the future of the state. Steve is ready to go out and do a little street fighting.

device turned out to be a fake. The 38-year-old Hamtramck man was arrested on charges of interfering with a Secret Service agent, said Jim Huse of the Secret Service’s Detroit office. DUKAKIS AND Bentsen pressed their claim that jobs created under the Republican administration pay less. “High paying jobs being replaced by low paying jobs, average weekly wages down over the past eight years, benefits down over the past eight years,” Dukakis told the Detroit rally. “My friends, I ask you, can we afford four more years of that?” Appearing together later in St. Louis, the Democrats ridiculed Bush’s sudden professions of concern for the environment after seven years of battles between the administration and environmental groups. Dukakis said Democrats would “clean up the environment, and we’re not going to listen to any election-year conversions on the subject. ... No born-again environmentalists we don’t need that.” BUSH SAID DUKAKIS was following “the standard litany of the liberal left” with his opposition to the MX and Midgetman missile systems, the Star Wars missile defense program, and two new carrier task forces. “I wouldn’t be surprised if he thinks that a naval exercise is something you find in Jane Fonda’s workout book,” he said in reference to the actress who was an opponent of the Vietnam War.

spirited discussions.” Mutz said he wasn’t worried about having disagreements with his running mate. “I DON’T WANT A bunch of yes men around me,” Mutz told The Star. “I wanted Steve on this ticket because he is a straight thinker and he tells you what he thinks.” Goldsmith also said he believes three factors have hurt Mutz “I don’t think John has looked as attractive as Evan on TV, I think that people always want to examine something new first, and I think this silly residency issue hurt him substantially.” Republicans waged an unsuccessful legal battle against Bayh last spring, charging he was not eligible to run for governor because he had not lived in the state continuously the previous five years. Bayh worked as an attorney in Washington, D.C., in 1983 and 1984. Fire kills woman WASHINGTON, Ind. (AP) Authorities say they want to question the live-in boyfriend of an 18-year-old woman who died in a fire labeled “suspicious.” Rebecca S. Harvey, a senior at Washington High School, died Sunday. An autopsy was performed Monday in Indianapolis, but results were not immediately available, sheriff’s deputies said. Harvey’s body was found on a bedroom floor in the one-story frame house. Investigators said a neighbor reported the fire after she heard a pounding on her door and a male voice telling her to call the fire department. Deputies said the boyfriend, Steve Hendricks, 21, is not considered a suspect but they want to talk to him about the fire.

Fake bomb scare cuts short appearance by Quayle DETROIT (AP) A Hamtramck campaign appearance by GOP vice presidential nominee Dan Quayle was cut short by a bomb scare, which prompted the Secret Service to cancel his march in that town’s Polish Day Parade. Police arrested a 38-year-old Hamtramck man Monday for carrying was turned out to be a fake bomb. QUAYLE, WHO WAS SCHEDULED to march at 2:30 p.m. in the procession, arrived at the parade reviewing stand about 4:00 p.m.

The Indiana senator gave no hint of the threat, joking in his five-minute speech that his late arrival was the result of a flight delay out of Newark, N.J., caused by bad weather. “We had a little bit of Dukakis weather gusty winds and gloomy skies,” Quayle said. The suspect in the incident was scheduled to be arraigned today on charges related to interfering with Secret Service agents, said Jim Huse, special agent for the Detroit office of the Secret Service. QUAYLE’S LATE appearance had the crowd in the heavily Polish enclave growing restless. The Black Raven bagpipe band played “Amazing Grace” and other songs to keep the gathering calm.

When he arrived, Quayle won the crowd over when he spoke of Poland’s outlawed Solidarity labor union. “One can’t help but take one’s thoughts to Poland, where people are putting their lives on the line for freedom,” he said. “We will never give up again until there’s freedom again in Poland.” Parade director Ewa Matuszewski estimated most of the 85,000 who attended the event, which ended at 3:45 p.m., stayed to see Quayle. Both Democrats and Republicans publicized their presence. A Quayle opponent carried a sign reading “Poor Boys go to War, Rich Boys go to Office,” a reference to the senator’s service in the National Guard during the Vietnam War.
