Tax overhaul
to protect
middle class
By JIM LUTHER
AP Tax Writer
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Three
weeks before congressional negotia
tors begin writing a compromise tax
overhaul plan, the top item on their,
agenda has been set: protect the
middle class. (
“How we treat middle-income fam
ilies is going to be probably the most
important” issue for the Senate-
House conference, Rep. Dan
Rostenkowski, D-111., chairman of the
tax-writing House Ways and Means
Committee, said yesterday.
“I think the House bill is a bit better
in that area,” Senate Majority Lead
er Bob Dole, ( R-Kan., volunteered.
Appearing’ with Rostenkowski on
ABC-TV’s “Good Morning America”
program, Dole stopped short of say
ing he would like to see negotiators
depart from the tax-rate structure in
the Senate bill to pay for greater
relief for the middle class.
“Obviously, all of us want to keep
the rates as low as we can,” Dole
said.
Rostenkowski agreed but added:
“There are areas that we’re going to
have to negotiate in order to keep
those rates that low.”
“A lot of middle-income people are
going to be surprised that they will
have to pay more tax under the
Senate bill,” said Janice M. Johnson,
senior tax manager for Seidman &

they are going to be’hit and they
haven’t really thought about it,” she
said.
The tax plan that the Senate ap
proved Tuesday on a 97-3 vote would
cut individual taxes by an average ol;
6.4 percent. Several lawmakers, in
cluding some of the most vocal sup
porters of the bill, said they were
counting on negotiators to come up
with a final plan that would be fairer
to the middle class.
Senior tax-writers from the House
and Senate will begin working on a
compromise bill around July 15.
Leaders hope to get the final measure
to President Reagan for his signature
about Labor Day.
Concerns about the middle class
are based on estimates that under the
Senate bill, the afte.r-tax income of
people earning between $30,000 and
$40,000 would be raised by 0.4 percent
less than one-third the 1.4 percent
boost for those making over $200,000 a
year.
The House plan would raise the
after-tax income of the $30,000-40,000
group by 1.0 percent, and of the over
s2oo,ooo group by 1.9 percent.

Two alcohol-related accidents kill 4
PITTSBURGH (AP) Drunken drivers were involved in two
separate crashes in which four young people died and nine others
were injured, the Allegheny County coroner’s office said yesterday.
Investigators in the Pittsburgh suburb of Upper St. Clair Town
ship at first thought that an error in judgment led to a crash at 11
p.m. Tuesday that killed two 17-year-old township girls and injured
five others, said Deputy Chief Harry Fruecht.
But Coroner Joshua Perper’s office said the driver, Laura
Kliphouse, had a blood alcohol level of .12 percent, more than the
.10 percent recognized by the law as intoxication.
Kliphouse’s passenger, Kristin McMaster, had a blood alcohol
level of .03 percent, well under the legal limit, Perper’s office said.
Police said Kliphouse was apparently trying to cross all four
lanes of U.S. 19 from a side street when her car, carrying five
passengers, was struck in succession by two other cars. Her car
burst into flames after the crash.
Meanwhile, the coroner’s office said blood tests showed that the
driver who killed himself and a passenger in a separate crash
Tuesday morning had consumed nearly twice the alcohol needed to
be considered drunk.
John Selzer, who had turned 21 on Monday, had a blood alcohol
level of .19 percent, nearly twice the legal limit. Gerald Payton, 19,
one of five passengers in the compact car, had a blood alcohol level
of .32, Perper said. Payton also died.
4 '
<S
&
Police said witnesses and skid marks indicated Selzer was
driving at least twice the posted 35 mph speed limit when the car
uprooted a utility pole, overturned and burned.
Eric Calfo, 19, of Clairton was in serious condition at Mercy
Hospital. Richard Bumford, 16, of Pittsburgh was in fair condition
at Presbyterian-University Hospital. Holly Cassidy, 16, and Dana
McAndrew, 14, both of Pittsburgh were in fair condition at
Children’s Hospital.
Kliphouse’s passengers included Joseph Thomas, 18, Jill Munns,
15, and Michael C. Sutt, 18, who were in serious condition at
Allegheny General Hospital. Richard Dunham, 18, was in stable
condition at St. Clair Memorial Hospital.
One of the other drivers, Raymond Thomas, 24, was in critical
condition at Allegheny General.

House approves Sunshine bill
HARRISBURG (AP) The House approved legislation yester
day that would bolster the state’s “Sunshine Law” and allow
greater public access to governmental meetings.
The bill would require government agencies to open meetings
held “for the purpose of making a decision.” The current Sunshine
Act, as interpreted by a 1977 Commonwealth Court ruling, only
guarantees access to meetings when votes are to be taken.
Thomas DeWall, executive director of Common Cause Pennsyl
vania, said the bill was a compromise between supporters of a
stronger law and local governments, which generally opposed
more extensive changes.
The legislation also would strengthen notification requirements
for public meetings and expand what agencies and governmental
units must include in the official minutes of public meetings.
Under the legislation, closed “executive sessions” could still be
held to discuss such topics as personnel matters, employment,
labor relations, disciplinary actions or real estate transactions.
In addition, it would allow public officials to associate informally
without fear that they are holding an illegal governmental meeting.

Girl wrestler settles sex-bias suit
SEATTLE (AP) A high school that refused to allow a member
of a visiting varsity team to wrestle because the athlete was female
has agreed to apologize and pay the young woman $5OO. “
In a settlement proposed by the state Human Rights Commis
sion, Marysville-Pilchuck High School must apologize to Carey
Rosenow, its own students and to the student body of Vashon Island
High School.
Rosenow, who pinned three opponents last season while a
member of the Vashon High boys’ varsity wrestling team, was told
she could not wrestle at a Marysville tournament because she was
female.
Her team walked out and she filed a sex discrimination com
plaint with the commssion.
“Apparently we were in violation of the law,” said Dean Farley,
Marysville School District assistant superintendent. “If that was
so, we had to handle it. I don’t think it was ever our intention to
discriminate.”
Rosenow, 17, finished in fourth place in her league with a 6-5
record.

Brazil renews relations with Cuba
BRASILIA, Brazil (AP) The government on yesterday said it
was re-establishing diplomatic relations with Cuba, severed 22
years ago by Brazil after its military staged a right-wing coup.
Roberto Abreu Sodre, minister of Foreign Relations, made the
announcement at a news conference at the Foreign Ministry.
Moves by Brazil and by Cuban President Fidel Castro to re
establish relations have been rumored for some time.
Last year, the Foreign Relations Committee of Brazil’s House of
Representatives unanimously approved renewed diplomatic ties
with Castro’s Communist government.
U.S. Embassy spokesman Bill Barr said the Reagan administra
tion views the new ties with Cuba as “an internal matter of Brazil.”
However, one U.S. Embassy official, speaking on condition of
anonymity, said the Brazilian announcement might stir debate in
the White House.
Brazil’s diplomatic relations with Cuba were broken in 1964
shortly after the Brazilian armed forces staged a right-wing
military coup that overthrew the leftist but democratically elected
government of Joao Goulart.
Ireland prepares for divorce vote
DUBLIN, Ireland (AP) The government’s campaign to break
the church-dominated mold of Irish society reaches a critical stage
today when the country votes on whether to remove the ban on
divorce from its constitution.
The issue has split this 97-percent Roman Catholic country down
the middle. The latest opinion poll forecasts a 55-45 defeat for
Prime Minister Garret Fitz Gerald’s reform, keeping Ireland one of
the last European countries where couples are legally bound to stay
married for life.
The Anti-Divorce Campaign, which has spearheaded the resis
tance to legalized divorce, said the poll in yesterday’s Irish Times
confirmed data it received from its branches throughout the
country.
The Divorce Action Group, campaigning for the amendment, has
said it needs a big victory in the capital’s metropolitan area to
offset rural conservatism.
Joe Dennehy, spokesman for the group, said he hoped those who
thought the result was sure to favor divorce would be sufficiently
alarmed by the poll to vote in the referendum.
If the poll is borne out, it would reflect a remarkable turnaround
in Irish opinion. Just nine weeks ago, when Fitz Gerald unveiled the
legislation, the pro-divorce camp seemed to be 20 percentage points
ahead.
But a smoothly executed campaign against divorce, backed by
the Catholic Church and feeding off widespread disenchantment
with Fitz Gerald’s austerity policies, has consistently fended off the
pro-divorce camp.
The divide opened by the debate is readily seen in the placards
that festoori Dublin’s streetlamps. “Protect the Family Vote
NO,” vies with “Put Compassion in the Constitution Vote YES."
