Industrial policy:
that could mean
By ROBERT FURLOW
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) It's an
issue that has yet to sweep the
electorate, but all the Democratic
presidential contenders are trying
hard to grab hold of it. One veteran
strategist says it could mean mil
lions of votes and a House chair
man says it will be the hottest
question of 1984.
`To frame the issue as industrial policy vs. the
(free) market is to set up a straw man, a
simplistic caricature which distracts our
attention from the real points at issue.'
President Reagan's supporters
say it is no issue at all, and deride
his rivals' attempt to make it so
even if Reagan himself has named a
national commission to study it.
Reduced to three words, "nation
al industrial policy," it sounds like a
guaranteed snore in the coming
political debate. But reduced to one,
Learning about yourself, dealing with problems, and growing with the
changes in your life are important parts of the Perin State experience.

"jobs," namely those lost to
foreign competitors it may be a
sleeper of a different sort, especial
ly in a year of continuing high
unemployMent.
Still, the issue -is too complicated
for punchy campaign slogans. The
question is whether the federal gov
ernment should establish a broad,
long-term plan for helping Ameri
can companies battle industry in
Japan and elsewhere, and there are
—U.S. Rep. John J. LaFalce, D-N.Y
at least a dozen separate proposals
on how to go at it.
Long-time Democratic strategist
and former U.S. trade representa
tive Robert Strauss says the candi
date who gets out front on the issue
can reap millions of votes next year,
including his.
And Rep. John LaFalce, a New
sleeper of an
millions of new
York Democrat chairing congres
sional hearings on the subject, says
industrial policy "will be or certain
ly ought to be the leading issue for
1984." And he means the hundreds
of races for congressional seats,
too.
That's plain silly, in the view of
some conservative Republican
backers of the president. They con
tend a strong economy at home is
the only medicine companies need
to get well enough to compete over
seas.
Politics aside, there is wide
agreement that millions-of jobs
and even general national prosperi
ty depend on successfully com
peting with foreigners for sales both •
in the United States and abroad. _
The main arguments fora central
industrial policy include the conten
tion that the Japanese and others
have robbed Americans of jobs by
taking business from such U.S. in
dustries as steel and auto manufac
turing.
And industrial policy supporters
say the foreigners' success is based
on their governments subsidizing
private companies, targeting na
tional resources to help increase

exports and erecting trade barriers
to ' keep out other nations' goods.
The way to fight them is to use some
or all of the same tactics.
Opponents say bureaucrats could
never steer industry more expertly
than private managers. And putting
up new trade barriers against for
eign goods would inspire even big
ger foreign barriers in retaliation.
Some advocates - would go so far
as to have the government try to
pick "winners and losers," giving
special help to high-technology in
dustries while putting soma heavy
old industries to sleep. Others want
elderly and ailing industrial giants
such as steel revived with govern
ment aid or their workers re
trained.
LaFalce, noting the government's
array of import quotas, export-sup
porting loans and other trade aid,
says the nation has a "very substan
tial set" of industrial policies but
no coordinated strategy.
"To frame the issue as industrial
policy vs. the (free) market is to set
up a straw man, a simplistic carica
ture which distracts our attention
from the real points at issue," he
said.

Midwest bathed in rainwater
By DAVID L. LANGFORD
Associated Press Writer
The dusty and withered farms of
the Midwest were bathed with deli
cious rainwater yesterday, but relief
from the blistering summer of 1983
was expected to be only temporary.
It would take much more than 2
inches of rain to break a two-month
drought that has cost farmers billions
of dollars, officials said, and no sig
nificant change in the hot weather
pattern was on the horizon.
Besides, some agricultural special
ists said, the damage to many' crops
thig yeai• is irreversible.
"We need at least three days of rain
just to fill up the `cracks around
here," said Nolan Duke of the govern
ment's Severe Storms Forecast Cen-
ter in Kansas City, Mo.
But U.S. Secretary of Agriculture
John R. Block, who will meet with
governors and congressmen from 28
states in Chicago on Friday to discuss
federal assistance to drought-strick
en areas, said yesterday, that crop
losses will not mean shortages.
"While it's true that the drought
has been a severe blow to many
producers, the fact remains that we
are faced with a serious drought, not
a serious shortage," Block, who owns
a 3,000-acre farm near Galesburg,
111., said during a visit to Modesto,
Calif. "Production is down, but we
have an ample supply of grain to
meet both domestic and export
needs."

Among the governors who will be
meeting with Block is Gov. Richard
Celeste of Ohio who toured parched
corn and soybean fields yesterday
and said he was expanding his re
quest for disaster aid from two to 17
counties.
A cold front pushed thunderstorms
across the Central Plains into the
Great Lakes region during the night
and rain spread from southern lowa
into northern Missouri. About 2 1 / 2
inches of rain fell at Pella, lowa, near
Des Moines, and Dunlap, Kan., near
Topeka. About 1 1 / 2 inches was mea
sured at Sioux Falls, S.D.
The rain, cooling off temperatures
that had been climbing above 100
degrees in many areas for weeks,
was expected to continue through
today.
"But basically, it'll be just a mild
rainfall generally throughout the
Midwest," Duke said. "It doesn't look
like a major break-up in the weather
system that has produced this heat
wave.'
Phil Shideler of the National
Weather Service in Topeka, Kan.,
agreed that much more rain is
needed, but little is in the offing.
"The edge has been taken off the
extreme heat at least temporari
ly," Shideler said. "But we are still
well above normal. It's still very hot,
it's still very humid, and it's still very
uncomfortable.
"We are going to have to have a
major pattern shift for any real re
lief. We don't see that yet."

TMI removes 'abnormal'. wastes
MIDDLETOWN (AP) The last barrel of 'abnormal" radioac
tive wastes from water at the Three Mile Island nuclear plant
yesterday left the area on a truck headed west.
At ceremonies marking the last shipment, Robert Arnold,
president of GPU Nuclear Corp., which runs the plant, said the
company is keeping its commitment to clear the island of wastes
generated during the accident at the plant's Unit 2.
"We recognized our neighbors' concern, and we were committed
to TMI not becoming a permanent waste .disposal site for this
material," Arnold said.
The last barrel of highly radioactive waste filtered from water
spilled during the accident left the plant yesterday by truck for the
U.S. Department of Energy laboratory in Richland, Wash.
Pitt. appoints new provost
PITTSBURGH (AP) Roger Benjamin, associate dean and
executive officer of the College of Liberal Arts at the University of
Minnesota, has been named . senior vice chancellor and provost at
the University of Pittsburgh.
Pitt Chancellor Wesley W. Posvar made the announcement
Tuesday.
Benjamin, 41, who is also a professor of political science at
Minnesota, replaces Rhoten Smith, who retired June 30 after 12
years as provost.
Benjamin is to begin work at Pitt in October.
"As the principal academic officer of the university, the provost
plays the key role in preserving and extending its academic
excellence and strength," Posvar said. "Roger Benjamin has the
credentials which make him ideal for the post."
Posvar said Benjamin is "a scholar and educator of distinction"
and "holds promise of long and valuable service as an academic
leader."

Indiana abortion law struck down
INDIANAPOLIS ( AP) The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
has struck down Indiana's year-old abortion notification law, which
had required that doctors inform parents before performing
abortions on unwed girls under the age of 18.
The decision, returned in Chicago on Friday but received by state
officials yesterday, said the law's procedure for judicial review
was constitutionally inadequate.
The 1982 law threatened doctors with a felony penalty of up to
eight years in jail and a $lO,OOO fine if they did not notify parents of
minors who sought abortions. The 1983 Legislature reduced the
offense to a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail and a
$5,000 fine.
Next salary increases may be low
NEW YORK (AP) American workers can expect the lowest
average pay raises in a decade next year, and may find themselves
shouldering more of the cost of their health and retirement
benefits, a salary and benefit consulting firm said yesterday.
Pay increases in 1984 will average less than 7 percent, a study by
A.S. Hansen Inc. predicted. The annual survey, released at a news
conference, said many companies are thinking for the first time of
"reducing medical programs and studying flexible benefit and
salary reduction programs."
A "drastically lower inflation rate" and a keen desire to cut costs
have led to lower budgets for salary increases and benefit pro
grams, said John McMillan, Hansen's, director of compensation
services.
Workers in insurance, finance and service industries will get the
largest raises in 1984, while wholesale-retail and manufacturing
employees will see the lowest pay increases, the survey said.
Record world population announced
'WASHINGTON (AP) The world registered its biggest 12-
month population increase in history in the past year and reached
4,721,887,000 people by mid-June, with more than half the total
living in China, India, the Soviet Union, the United States and
Indonesia.
The one-year increase of 82,077,000 people was, equivalent to
adding the entire populations of both Mexico and Somalia to the
world, or populating Switzerland again each month or the Bahamas
each day.
The Census Bureau, in a report issued yesterday, said the world
has grown by nearly one billion people since 1970. •

Israel agrees to delay in pullback
TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) Israel agreed yesterday to a U.S.
request to delay its partial pullback from Lebanon's central
mountains for a limited time. But the government still expects to
complete the withdrawal by Sept. 7, eve of the Jewish new year,
government officials said.
Israeli television reported that Prime Minister Menachem Begin
agreed to a request by President Reagan to delay the pullback for
three or four days. The request was delivered by Reagan's special
envoy Robert C. McFarlane before Begin told his ruling coalition
that he would resign as prime minister.
Israel plans to withdraw its forces from the outskirts of Beirut
and the nearby Chouf and Aley Mountains to more secure positions
along the Awali River, just north of Sidon in southern Lebanon.
Chadian pledges to continue fighting
N'DJAMENA, Chad (AP) President Hissene Habre yesterday
offered to conclude a non-agggession pact with Libya once all
Libyan troops withdraw from Chad, but he predicted only a
military defeat would make them leave.
Habre told French reporters in a 90-minute televised news
conference that he would never give up the struggle "to drive the
Libyan aggressors from our country and restore its total freedom
and territorial integrity."
The government said Libyan, French and Chadian forces have
resumed far-ranging patrol activity in the 300-mile-deep no-man's
land between the two side,s, but there has been no battle contact.
