(Continued from Page 1) asked for." She said the family would have preferred the money come from private sources, but Sen. Quentin Burdick, thought federal money could help.

"As the senator said, it's for the town, it's not for Lawrence Welk," press secretary Jean Broadshaug said Friday. The money will help with the town's plans to build a small hotel, community center and restaurants. "Everyone does what they can for their own constituents," she said, replying to Conte's remarks. "And I think in this case anyone who has ever been to Strasburg can recognize it needs some help." Welk Heritage Inc. applied for a federal grant three months ago, after a board member saw an application in a Farmers Home Administration office.

Many in Strasburg, a town of 600 in south- central North Dakota, say the money could have been put to better use, but that the town may as well take it. "If there's money to throw away, we might as well have it," said Fred Martin, a resident of the Strasburg nursing home. "Farmers will get their share." "If you want to do something with the money, why don't they do something to help the roads and said resident Neis Norman. "We're a fanning community and if farmers don't have anything, the town doesn't either." Welk lived on the farm near Strasburg until he was 21. Then, with a new accordion, he formed a band in Yankton, S.D., and began his career as one of the country's most successful bandleaders.

The total cost of the restoration project is estimated at $750,000, including $500,000 for a trust to maintain the museum after it opens. "I can well understand that citizens are very concerned that tax dollars are going into this project," Schaefbauer said. "But it's very- common for museums and so forth to get federal grants from time to time. "It's more than just the birthplace of Lawrence Welk. It's a perfect example of how their homes were built in that time frame.

"I think the payoff will probably come down the line in another generation, when our children will be able to go there and see how the pioneers lived."

"Maybe they are located in some of the districts of (appropriations committee) members, but we know more about them there." But to many of the 449 members of Congress who don't hold seats on the House or Senate Appropriations Committees, the 29 senators and 57 who do often abuse their power of the purse in directing just where $183 billion for various domestic programs will be spent in fiscal 1991. "I'm over outrage; I'm into nausea," says Rep. Robert Walker of Pennsylvania. "The fact is that when we are allocating money, it is not based upon merit other than the people who are sitting in the room divvying up the Walker, the top Republican on the House Science, Space and Technology Committee, (Continued from Page 1) Barry of another misdemeanor drug possession charge and deadlocked on 12 other counts nine misdemeanors and three felony perjury charges.

"The jurors will have to answer to themselves and to their fellow citizens for the way in which they discharged their duty," Jackson said. The judge recommended that federal prison authorities place Barry in a drug treatment program. Barry, who is running for City Council after declining to seek election to a fourth term as mayor, was also ordered to serve a year of probation following his release from prison. During that time, Jackson said the mayor would be required to submit to random drug tests. The misdemeanor conviction and sentence does not disqualify Barry from holding or seeking public office.

Barry was also ordered to reimburse the federal government for the cost of his incarceration. The mayor's imprisonment would cost $5,167 if, as is likely, he is sent to a minimum-security prison. "The prevalence of the public rumors of defendant's frequent and conspicuous drug use never dispelled, and now unfortunately shown to have been true has given aid, comfort and encouragement to the drug culture at large," Jackson said. Barry's drug use "contributed to the anguish that illegal drugs have inflicted on this city in so many ways for so long," Jacksonsaid. "Having failed as the good example he might have been to the citizens of Washington, D.C., and, in particular, to the young who are much more likely to respond to example than to admonition, the defendant must now become an example of another kind," the judge said.

Armed robber hits Abilene liquor store ABILENE An armed robber made off with an undisclosed amount of money after pointing a revolver at a liquor store clerk Thursday night. The robber forced the clerk at Meysenburg's Liquor Store to lie on the floor after emptying the cash register at 7:55 p.m., said Police Chief Jim Davis. Abilene police are looking for a Hispanic man, 20 to 25 years old, 5- feet U-inches tall and about 140 Ibs. The man has a short, military-style haircut, and last was seen wearing a gray sweater, dark gray trousers and white Reebock tennis shoes, Davis said. tried in vain last week to stop what he called "the unauthorized pork-barrel projects." The House voted against him nearly 3-to-l.

"The word on the floor" was "you, better be with us on this, or we're going to take a look at your projects, too," he said. Sometimes lawmakers' efforts involve more than just getting money for their home states and often it requires more than a single year's effort. For example, Hawaii Sen. Daniel K. Inouye, the No.

2 Democrat on the Senate Appropriations Committee, got $5 million for his state's Department of Business and Economic Development to verify potential geothermal resource sites. But he also set in motion getting $50 million next year to help pay for renovating the medical center of George Washington University in Washington. A graduate of the university's law school and now a member of its board of trustees, Inouye got the Senate last week to authorize a $50 million grant for the school as part of the Medical Devices Act. An aide to him described it as a "lure" to help the university raise $100 million in matching funds from its alumni so that Inouye can seek appropriations for the project next year as part of the fiscal 1992 budget. The unabashed champion of directing federal money to his home state is Robert C.

Byrd of West Virginia, the president pro-tempore of the Senate and Democratic chairman of its Appropriations Committee. A 32-year Senate veteran, he gave up the more prestigious majority leader's job two years ago to succeed retiring Mississippi Sen. John Stennis as appropriations chairman "where I can best serve the people of my state." Byrd included $10 million for Alzheimer's research at West Virginia University in the measure that Walker tried to stop. He also helped ax $55 million that Bush wanted for hiring 1,000 new IRS agents to instead build a new $80 million federal courthouse in Charleston. And last spring, he won $185 million to relocate the FBI's fingerprint laboratory, "a law enforcement priority that would have to be built somewhere," from Washington to Clarksburg, W.Va.

"My proposals for West Virginia come under the sharpest scrutiny, more so because I'm the chairman," Byrd said this week, citing the depressed economy in his "This nation must invest in its infrastructure, its research and its My efforts to strengthen West Virginia's economic bases reflect that (Continued from Page 1) York, Georgia, Arkansas." The company started with 24 workers its first week and had about 35 workers this week. By mid- November, the company should have close to 60 employees working on its' one shift. By the end of the year, Honorbuilt should have about 80 employees. About 200 people have applied for jobs, and the company has filled its current need for specialty workers such as welders and fiberglass workers, Stewart said. What the company is looking for now are "good workers." Honorbuilt is still a long distance from when ElDorado employed about 350 people in Minneapolis.

ElDorado Motor Corp. closed in January after filing for bankruptcy, never having recovered from losing $5 million in 1988 when the RV market turned soft. To try to fight bankruptcy, the company sold its bus operation in 1988 to Thor Industries of Jackson Center, Ohio. Thor operates the company in Salina under the name ElDorado Bus Co. Stewart reorganized and reopened the Minneapolis plant under the name Honorbuilt.

He was able to do so with the help of a $650,000 loan from the Farmers Home Administration, a $300,000 community development block grant from the Kansas Department of Commerce and at least $400,000 from private investors. Lance Johnson had planned on opening a new hardware store in Minneapolis regardless of Honorbuilt opening, but having the RV company back has brought optimism. "I would have done it anyway, but (Honorbuilt's opening) was a nice little kicker in the deal," Johnson said. The store is open for business, but Johnson is busy stocking shelves and repairing the building that housed a former hardware and automotive store. Having Honorbuilt open hasn't had an effect yet at Boogaarts Supermarket, but manager Randy Willoughby believes it's coming.

"It can't help but help us," he said. "It's always good to have new jobs created. It means less people moving out of town and more mouths to feed." Besides Honorbuilt, DAK Plastics opened this year adjacent to Honor- built. The plastics and fiberglass company will do some work for Hon- orbuilt but also has contracts with other companies. John Johnson, Minneapolis' economic development director, said a small manufacturing company will open soon to make a fertilizer spreader that fits in the bed of a pickup truck.

And a wedding cake shop that will eventually branch into other wedding needs also is scheduled to open soon. "We're a long ways from the 350 employees we had (at ElDorado) two years ago, but our base is being built," Johnson said. "We're op-, timistic around here." Treasury reports federal defict hit $220 billion in '90 Budget WASHINGTON (AP) The federal deficit soared to $220.4 billion, the second highest ever, in the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, the Treasury Department reported Friday. It was the 21st straight year in which the government spent more than it took in.

The fiscal 1990 red ink was 43.7 percent more than the $153.3 billion imbalance last year. The Bush administration had forecast a $123.8 billion deficit in its initial forecast last February. But by its midyear estimate in July, the administration had boosted its projection to $220.1 billion. The Treasury announcement came as the administration and Congress appeared to be nearing completion of a package of tax hikes and spending cuts designed to erase $500 billion from the deficit in five years, including $40.1 billion in the fiscal year that began Oct. 1.

But the administration says government red ink still will total $253.6 billion during the current fiscal year if the administration and Congress can stick to the budget reduction goal. If not, the administration projects a whopping $293.7 billion gap. The fiscal 1991 projection excludes the estimated $1 billion a month the government is spending on its military forces in the Persian Gulf. (Continued from Page 1) his no-new-taxes pledge to support the deficit-cutting effort. Meanwhile, the Treasury Department reported that the red ink figure for fiscal 1990 which ended Oct.

1 reached $220.4 billion, the second highest ever. Passage of the budget package would ease the way for an end to the long and troubled congressional session. Although legislative leaders expressed confidence that the budget deal would make it through Congress, they spent much of the day hunting for votes among the rank and file. Top Democrats sought the support of the Congressional Black Caucus. But many of its 24 lawmakers all Democrats said they would oppose the budget unless the Senate took another crack at overriding Bush's veto of the civil rights bill.

The Senate fell one vote short of override this week. "Then, we could declare victory and all go home," said Rep. Charles Once the bargaining was over and the deficit-reduction bill moved through the House, it was expected to have little trouble in the Senate. The package nearing completion contained a jump in the federal gasoline tax to 14 cents a gallon from 9 cents. New levies also would be aimed at alcohol, tobacco, furs and costly private planes.

The ballooning costs of Medicare would be reined in by $44 billion over the next five years. Most of the re- ductions would be in payments to doctors and hospitals, but $10 billion of the cuts would come directly from the elderly and handicapped people the program serves. Their monthly premiums for doctors' coverage would swell from $28.60 this year to $46.20 in 1995, and their annual deductible would be bumped from $75 to $100. For the upper-middle class, the 1.45 percent payroll tax that supports Medicare now deducted only up to $51,300 in extend to a person's first $125,000 of income. People earning more than $100,000 annually would lose some of their income-tax deductions and face a phaseout of the $2,050 personal exemption.

The income-tax rate on the 600,000 richest Americans would rise from 28 percent to 31 percent. For your information Hospital admissions Asbury James W. Clanton, 308 W. Robson Road; Arnold J. Holmgren, 1102 Park; Beulah Knight, 618 N.
