i i 6B Shf AtttliatOtt tar Wednesday, March 17, 1982 President 's budget doesn 't enthuse Alabama congressmen committee on military personnel and compensation, says the requested Defense Department allocation of $215.9 billion is not a sacred cow. He said he would like the budget to retain two new aircraft carriers and nine MX missiles, but said those expenditures will come under congressional attack. Rep. Tom Bevill, D-Jasper, said he is shocked at the size of the proposed deficit. "We are further from balancing the budget than ever in the history of the United States," Bevill said.

THE REAGAN BUDGET would cut into Bevill's domain water projects. Bevill is chairman of the House Appropriation Committee's subcommittee on energy and water development. Bevill said he intends to go ahead with plans for Alabama's waterways. Reagan's budget doesn't allow for replacing locks and dams on the Warrior River, nor for operating channels carrying less than five million tons of freight yearly, such as the Alabama River. But Bevill said he is confident Congress will continue to allocate needed funds.

Expanded shipping of coal, steel and other products is vital to Alabama's economy. In contrast. Sen. Jeremiah Denton, R-Mobile, supports the Reagan budget wholeheartedly. "We gave more tax breaks than the president askef for last year, then some scream about his deficit," Denton said.

"It's somebody else's deficit." Denton envisions a three-way partnership in the New Federalism approach. Washington would provide the initial trust fund to ease the transition; the private sector would take over some previously public functions; and Alabama could raise property taxes, Denton said. SOME PROGRAMS MAY be reduced, but "we won't let people who are truly needy to fall through the cracks," Denton said. By JUDITH PFEFFER Washington Reporting Service WASHINGTON President Reagan's proposed budget for fiscal 1983 doesn't seem to attract the enthusiasm that his budget-cutting and tax-reduction plans did last year from Alabama's congressional delegation. Budget deficits predicted to be as high as $121 billion apparently scares Alabama's congressmen.

U.S. Rep. Bill Nichols, D-Sylacauga, for instance, calls the projected deficit "absolutely unacceptable. "Like every conservative, I'd like to see a balanced budget, but it's just not feasible this year," Nichols said, adding that he wants to see the deficit contained below $100 billion. Nichols criticized the Reagan administration's "much too generous" tax bill of last year, which he says sent too much money back to the states and allowed corporations to buy tax credits.

Nichols voted for the tax bill last year. THE THIRD DISTRICT congressman also says he is displeased with the proposed reduction in social programs, already reduced in last year's budget. "Further deep cuts would create severe injustice," he said, predicting most other members of Congress will agree with him in refusing to cut "people programs." And Nichols also says he harbors reservations about Reagan's New Federalism proposals. "I won't buy a pig in a poke," Nichols said. "It may cost Alabama more than we receive." The president's plan calls for federal takeover of health programs for the poor and state assumption of other welfare programs, such as food stamps and Aid to Families with Dependent Children.

Any difference in the amount of funding would have to be taken up by the state. "THE PEOPLE ARE in no mood for more taxes in Alabama," Nichols said. Nichols, who chairs the House Armed Services sub Star Phrtt by SWptmi Cms Chess is their game Eddie Kemp captured the first-place trophy, outdistancing Alabama state champion Dana Therrill of Birmingham.

4-OZ. TUBE TALLADEGA A six-week undercover investigation of drug activity in Talladega County has resulted in the arrest of 21 people on drug-related felony charges, according to Sheriff Jerry Studdard. "We just transferred some of our deputies off the road and had them working full time on drugs for awhile," Studdard said Tuesday. "We've got some more (arrests) to follow this and I think we're going to go on with it (the probe)," he said. But Studdard indicated the bulk of the investigation is over now, because the word of the investigation has reached people involved in drug activity.

"I think we've got a lot of people scared right now, and they're not as wide open with it as they were," he said. About five pounds of marijuana, some hashish and about 200 pills were seized during the investigation, the sheriff said.
