Applegate Votes For 'Freeze Now' Resolution By BILL STERNBERG Tribune Washington Bureau WASHINGTON Rep. Douglas Applegate, D-Steubenville, voted in favor of the modified nuclear freeze resolution that passed the House of Representatives after weeks of debate. Both the United States and Soviet Union have enormous strategic stockpiles that "it's time we talk about freezing and reductions," Applegate said. Applegate added he thinks the extended nuclear freeze debate could turn out to be a "great exercise in futility." The Senate is unlikely to pass the resolution, he said, and it may be "next to impossible" to work out an arms control accord with the Soviets. The freeze debate became so muddled by semantics and nitpicking amendments that it became hard to distinguish the winners from the losers, he explained.

The 18th District congressman said that while the U.S. has an adequate nuclear, stockpile, the nation must continue with research and development and remain militarily strong. Applegate's vote was consistent with his support tor a freeze resolution that lost last August by two votes to a Reagan administration-backed substitute. Final vote on the "freeze now" resolution was 278 for and 149 against, with 218 Democrats and 60 Republicans voting yes and 43 Democrats and 106 Republicans voting no. The vote came after a prolonged debate extending over an entire month and occupying 53 hours, which is highly unusual for the House.

On August 5, a nuclear freeze resolution fell two votes short of passage, with 202 members supporting it and 204 going along with the Reagan administration and opposing it. The freeze vote then became an issue in numerous House election contests, and several freeze opponents were defeated at the polls. Numerous amendments were added modifying the freeze resolution during the long debate, but the measure which won House approval called for a "freeze now" on nuclear weapons in the United States and Russia. This is to be followed by arms reductions. The Reagan administration opposes this concept, saying it would undercut their position in arms reduction talks if they did not have the ability to threaten a new arms buildup as an alternative to disarmament.

After the vote, both supporters and foes of the nuclear freeze were claiming victory. Opponents of the freeze rallied behind an amendment offered by Rep. Elliott Levitas, which said the freeze would end if U.S. arms negotiators were unable to achieve weapons reductions within "a reasonable, specified period of time." This, amendment was approver 221-203. However, Rep.

Edward J. Markey, a leader of the pro-freeze forces, called it a "nuisance" amendment without meaning. "Of the major points we wanted in the resolution, we didn't lose one," he said. He likened the House freeze resolution to the pastoral letter approved earlier in the week by the National Conference of Catholic Bishops calling for a "halt" to production, testing and deploy, ment of nuclear weapons.

Vane and Barbara Scott spent more than a decade turning not just high schools, but entire towns, into almost magical places. The two, who now manage the Colonial Flag Co. at N. 15th operated from 1956 to 1968 as "Great Scott Displays." The couple canvassed the country in search of a town or occasion which needed a parade or decorations for a festive time. From Chandler, to Titusville, the Scotts would fix up floats or deck a town with tons of red, white and blue bunting to mark an area's anniversary or other special event.

They recall those years almost' with disbelief. Vane talks of the excitement they would find in every town they visited. Barbara remembers working 30 and 40 hours without a break trying to get a town ready for a big day. For the townspeople, the special event might be considered the highlight of the area for many years. The Scotts, however, would prepare decorations and floats for one place, and then move on to the next location lor another special event.

Ms. Godlove's home was one of about 130 dwellings damaged or destroyed as the tornado ripped a five-mile swath through Topeka, officials said. But none of her family was hurt.

Chiles said that he was not seeking to repeal a 10 percent income tax cut which takes effect this year, which would have increased revenues by $30 billion.

"I've always felt that given the pride the president has in the third year, we're not going to repeal it," he said. Instead, Chiles is seeking a compromise which would raise some revenues, perhaps $12 billion or $15 billion in 1984, through some other kind of tax. So far, the Democratic minority appears unified in opposition to a GOP compromise which raises taxes only slightly in fiscal 1984, and would permit federal deficits approaching $200 billion for the next several years. The Senate on Friday added $250 million for federal education, programs above the amount approved by the budget panel. The vote was 55 to 32 for additional education spending which adds $2.25 billion over three years.
