By ATfflA HARDT Both the Republican and Democratic parties came under attack here yesterday for placing Americans "as passengers on a train hurtling toward" the socialistic state of "1984." Dr. John Hospers, presidential candidate of the Libertarian Party, made the criticism at a press conference in the Phoenix Press Club. He spoke last night at the Phoenix College student center.

Expressing a belief in both the free enterprise system and the natural goodness of man "to a certain degree," Hospers defended a philosophy that believes in the principle that "the main thing government can do for man is just leave him alone." And, though he said the so-c i a 1 i i state depicted in George 1 l's novel, "1984," probably "will come before 1984," he added, "Reversals are possible." Hospers, whose party is on the ballot in only two states, Washington and Colorado, explained: "One has the choice of doing nothing or trying to reverse the tide. The only option is to sit passively by as we are all destroyed." There are 35 dues paying members of the national Libertarian Party in Arizona. Hospers is a philosophy professor at the University of Southern California, and was chosen his party's nominee at the first national convention of the party in Denver last June. Mrs. Tonie Nathan, a broadcast newswoman from Eugene, is his running mate.

Members of the party must sign a pledge declaring they do not believe in the use of And, it rejects all government welfare and relief projects, as well as government control of the postal system and government operation of fire departments, he added. Everything government does, it does "at two or three times the expense," Hospers said. "Government is the greatest creator of poverty there is." President Nixon has taken the country further to the "left" than "his Democratic opponent could have done if he had been elected," he said, adding that government is interfering with man's rights by "socializing him and taxing him and regulating him to death." If man were left free to produce, without the burden of taxation, he would pay taxes voluntarily for police protection and other services he wanted out of gratitude for a society "bustling with creative activities," Hospers said. Man would also contribute to the survival of those unable to work by voluntarily using his surplus earnings, Hospers said. The standard of living would rise as jobs became available for all the employable under a completelv free enterprise system, he added.

But, were a Libertarian government elected tomorrow, it could not immediately abolish all taxes, though that would be the eventual goal, the philosophy professor explained. "We would have to pursue a policy of gradualism." he said, "because government has already made so many commitments." TAYLOR said. "We have the buffalo-In-dian-head nickel type of stereotype, perpetuated by western movies and television," he said. "This is destroying the cultural heritage we are trying to build and protect." Offsetting this, he said, is a tremendous degree of self-determination that is emerging among the American Indians. He said congressional action to create the Hohokam-I'ima National Monument at Seaketown on the Gila Indian Reservation was "the special product of citizen involvement on the Pima reservation be-( nose many citizens convinced the government it was worth doing." Another phase of our history involves the Hispanic and Mexican traditions, Thompson said.

"There's a special problem here." he said, noting that during the Age of Discovery, England and Spain were tremendously competitive over control of the sea and over tb" riches of the New World. "This led to a very special k'lid of love-hate kind of relationship between the English-arid Spanish-speaking peoples of the I he said. "There was a sort of blanket condemnation on our part of everything Ilispanish." Thompson declared Arizo-nans have an opportunity to avoid such pitfalls. "We have a large and old and stable population of the Mexican people," he said. They have been prideful of their role as Americans.

hen we look to the south, we are not only thinking of the Spanish culture, but rather a magnificent combination of Hispanic culture and ages-old Mexican-Indian civilization." Recommendations of this year's Town Hall will be published and available to the public shortly through the Arizona Academv. by vote foe Mrs. Selma Pine, Democratic candidate for Maricopa County recorder, said yester-day Republican incumbent Paul Marston "has been embroiled in more lawsuits than all his predecessors combined." Speaking at a gathering at the home of Mrs. Peggy Spaw, 1505 Cheery Lynn Road, Mrs. Pine said her opponent was involved in four different court cases being tried on one day in September.

a 's curious interpretations of the voting law have been overruled on numerous occasions recently by the courts," she said. Included among them, she said, were cases involving non-mandatory disclosure of weight of registrants, extra time to register for presidential voting and use of outdated registration forms. Mrs. Pine said Marston said that voting is a privilege, not a right. A man with such a philosophy should not be permitted to hold public office, she said.

"Right now it is 3.6 per cent," he said, "and that's only good because it is beginning to drop. We want to reduce it to between 2 and 3 per cent." He had no predictions as to when the controls might be lifted or modified. "It's going to be over r.s soon as you make it end," he told the apartment owners, noting that the national effort depends heavily on voluntary complicance. "Our own board wants to be out of this program as soon as possible." Members of the apartment association also heard discussion on emergency procedures, interior design and soft-market renting at yesterday's session, which ended the two-day convention. iiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin Richard 0.

"The government does not require you to increase rent it just has limited the amount you can increase it by." Although rental units make up only about 5 per cent of the total consumer price index, he said, "about 50 per cent of our work load of the whole inflation control program has been with rentals." But housing costs must be controlled as long as wages are, he said, because between 25 and 33 per cent of a wage earners's disposable income is spent on housing.

"We're not about to get out until the performance of this economy improves," he emphasized. He described the rent-control program as having made substantial progress."

Throughout the three-day session of the 21st Town llali, participants emphasized the value of making Arionans aware of the diverse elements of the past which affect today's life and produce some identity or purpose. Divided into four pane', the 97 participants 1 throughout the state tackled such problems as preservation of historical sites, motivating greater awareness of Arizona history and culture, and safeguarding the land. "The surest way to build public awareness is through well-conceived educational programs in the schools and through the news and entertainment media." was Tov.n Hall's recommendation.

The way the concept of Ck frontier has shaped our heritage was emphasized by Dr. Raymond H. Thompson of the University of Arizona, a Town Hall luncheon speaker. "Arizona is the product of many frontiers or he noted, enumerating the Indians, the Spanish and the Anglo or northern European traditions. "We all come from some place else," he said.

"A special kind of ama'gam has resulted, based on individual freedom and the self-reliance of many ethnic groups." Thompson, head of the department of anthropology at the UofA, expressed concern lest the complex history of the Southwest be distorted. "The chicanos, in an attempt to build some aspects of their heritage, at the same time reject much of the richness of Mexican culture," he ''Retaliatl By CONNIE KOENENN Improper notification of rent increases and retaliatory evictions by landlords are major headaches in administering rent control regulations, a Washington spokesman said yesterday. James R. Tanck, executive secretary of the Rent Advisory Board, spoke at the Arizona Apartment Association's morning session in the Civic Plaza Convention Center. Tanck participated in a panel discussion of the rent -stabilization a that falls into Phase 11 of President Nixon's an'i inflation fight.

Retaliatory evictions often occur after a tenant has filed a complaint with the Internal Revenue Service enforcement agency for the program) concerning a rent increase, said Tanck. AND it SINCE 1 big rent-control Dr. John Hospers force as a means of achieving either social or political aims. "Each person has the ultimate control over his own life," Hospers said. "No one should have coercive power over the lives of other people.

Your life is not mine to dispose of and mine is not yours, and that includes government." Hospers' philosophy allows an individual to smoke marijuana or drink alcohol in his own home, but not to drive a car after doing so because, he said, that affects another person's life. The philosophy allows a woman to abort a child in the OLD COINS RECOVERED AALESUND, Norway (AP) Three frogmen have recovered more than 440 pounds of gold and silver coins from a Dutch ship which sank off the Norwegian coast in 1725. The value of the coins has been estimated at more than $30,000. 1937 IFF Take Home -Steiger Rep. Sam Steiger, called last night for a renewal of Operation Intercept to cut down on the flow of drugs from Mexico into the United States.

Steiger said that he and others were concerned that a relaxation of border searches had taken the punch out of earlier tough anti-drug trafficking efforts. He spoke before the Citizens Band Radio Club of Phoenix. Yuma County Sheriff Travis Yancy told him that the flood of drugs coming across the border is again reaching pre-Operation Intercept levels ane that nothing is being done or said about it. Steiger said. "At its inception Operation Intercept was successful in reducing the smuggling of heroin, marijuana and other illicit drugs and pills into this country," Steiger said.

"However, we seemed to have lost our zeal to the point of counter-productivity," he stated. Steiger said that lately it seems that conversation has replaced action in the war against drugs on the border. He said that he was not convinced that Mexican border authorities were "giving their all" in the search and seizure of illicit drugs. "We must make a maximum effort to convince other nations to get tougher to help cut off the drug flow," ho said. "Victory in the drug war especially in Arizona will be hard won and come only after a concentrated effort on all fronts," Steiger said.
