"I'm just a common man, and people ire looking for someone just like them to terve them," he said.

"I've got a strong eeling that if a person from the South inters the primaries and makes a strong ihowing, he might become at least vice resident." "Willis said he has talked to Democrats New Hampshire and Iowa about enter-ng the primaries in those states, but he ieclined to mention them by name. He ilso said he has not made an absolute leciskra whether to enter or not. 'It takes a lot of money to do that and a lot of time," he said. If tie runs, he said, its campaign theme would be "the common man." Willis is owner of Gerald Willis Lumber 26, in Nances Creek. He has been a state representative since 1979 and a former Mte-term Calhoun County commissioner.

-In 1980, he completed a 12-room, (200,000 mansion modeled after the Hermitage in Nashville built by Jackson.

Polish pilot entry Continued illis from Page 1 The Alabama House has passed a Willis resolution which calls on Congress to abolish the federal Reserve System. A similar call would be behind his presidential campaign, if he decides to run, he said. "I think we need some controls on the Federal Reserve System," Willis said.

Ever since its creation in 19137 "The Federal Reserve has controlled every upturn and downturn we have had," he said. Willis said former Gov. George Wallace cleared a path for people like him to run for the presidency. "He made it possible for anybody to run by getting all those primaries created," Willis said. "Vice President Bush probably never would have been vice president if it hadn't been for those primaries.

"I think the American people want a president who's come through life just like they have. They want somebody who understands their needs. Really, I think the president we have doesn't understand our needs. He's catering to the rich and the affluent. If the people in Calhoun County would back me the way they have, I might be able to go all the way." Willis has also been mentioned as a possible candidate this year for lieutenant governor in Alabama.

Once the youngest man ever elected Calhoun County commissioner, Willis is married and has a son and two daughters. He is a member of the Congregational Holiness Church in Nances Creek. maximum five-year prison sentence or with a cash fine. The pilot could also not be charged with theft, the prosecutor said, because he obviously did not steal the plane but planned to return it to its rightful owners after his escape. WEST BERLIN'S Tempelhof airfield is a frequent destination of Polish hijackings to the West.

It is about 300 miles from Warsaw and 200 miles from Wroclaw. A week ago a West Berlin court sentenced 12 young Poles to prison terms ranging from one to four years for hijacking another LOT airliner from Poland to Tempelhof last September. People who hijack Soviet bloc airliners to West Berlin or West Germany are always tried and sentenced, but the German governments always refuse to extradite Most Polish hijackers detained in West Berlin over the past year or so were given prison sentences ranging from four to five years. The hijackings became so frequent, in fact, that West Berlihers translated the three letters of the Polish airline, LOT, to mean "Landet Ooch Tempelhof" local dialect for "also lands at Tempelhof." probably will have to fight hard to win support for his military spending plans even among "some of his own people." "There's an awful lot of money involved there," said Michel Later Thursday, Michel predicted Reagan will eventually reduce the defense budget. "I'm going to be surprised if in the end something isn't going to come out of defense to make it (the budget) fly," Michel said in Rockford, 111.

"1 THINK WE HAVE to be very practical up on the hill," Michel said at a GOP fund-raiser. "The president is eventually going to have to accept something less than the figures he proposed." Reagan budget anticipates deficits of this year, $91.5 billion in 1983 and 182 blffionin 1984. Democrats and Republicans alikesay the actual figures likely will be higher. Michel said he intends to meet next week with Rep. James R.

"Two Polish security guards were left ehind inside the plane," she said. This appeared to indicate the Polish Military regime has put security guards domestic flights to prevent hijackings.

J'NO BUDGET is sacrosanct," Baker said Thursday.

But Baker, Laxalt and Michel all emphasized that they foresee no chance of Qjngress taking the budget away from Reagan and completing work on a spending1 plan by itself. And the president's chief of staff, James A. Baker in, said today on ABC-TV's "Good Morning America" that Reagan would not retract the budget, as Sghate Minority Leader Robert C. Byrd suggested earlier one more to Congress' liking. Baker said such a move was "totally qui of the question" and noted that then-President Carter changed his proposed budget in 1980.

"That was tremendously damaging to them politically and you just dpnt do that," the chief of staff said. Michel said the congressional trio "made the point" to the president that he this welT, mill MbmUw.
