Three companies selected names for their firms Monday. Others met Tuesday night and the final group meets from 6:30 to 9 o'clock tonight, at the JA Center, Tenth and Court Streets. Junior Achievement of Siouxland, under the direction of Advisor Terry Mack, begins its tenth year this week. Fifteen companies will organize under JA sponsorship and the guidance of local firms and members of their staffs. About 300 high school students from throughout the area will participate, along with about 50 advisors.

JA works this way: Students meet to form companies (each sponsored by a local firm or organization) and elect officers. They choose a company name (three this year are Memotac, a bulletin board firm. Utopia which will manufacture keyholders and Odds 'N Ends, formed to manufacture insulated mugs.) The students sell stock in their companies, buy raw materials and produce and market the products. The organizations are designed to resemble real corporations as closely as possible, Mack said, so students learn about the free enterprise system. This year's counseling firms include Allied Tour and Travel, CM Corporation, the Sioux City Chamber of Commerce, Champion International, Iowa Beef Processors, Iowa Public Service, Means, KWIT, Northwestern Bell Telephone Company, Postal Finance, Security National Bank, The Sioux City Journal, Sioux City Stationery, Toy National Bank and Younkers.

The student companies will meet each Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday for 25 weeks, Mack said. All high school students are welcome. JVlrs. Georgia Mae Bue Mrs. Georgia Mae Bue, 82, Matney Colonial Manor, 3200 South Sioux City, died Monday at a Sioux City hospital.

Tax lid group promotes plan By Mark Ulven Journal staff writer A representative of a national group that wants to limit government spending and taxing spoke Tuesday in Sioux City on behalf of the Iowa effort to limit spending. Lewis Uhler, a California lawyer, land developer and founder of the National Tax Limitation Committee, said he was here to "endorse" the Iowa effort because, if the effort is successful, it can affect what happens with a spending lid pending in Congress.

1 The Iowa effort seeks a constitutional ment to limit increases in government spending to 1 a percentage of the increase in the state's' economic growth. To amend the constitution, Iowans must vote Nov. 4 to call for a state', constitutional convention, at which amendments can be proposed. Uhler told reporters at a brief press conference at the Sioux City Airport that such constitutional" measures are the "responsible" way to limit-' spending because legislators and congressmen resist placing restrictions on their spending. Uhler called it a "major flaw" in the political process that spending lids are so strongly supported by most of the voters, yet the proposals can't get through legislatures or Congress.

"The forces behind greater spending are better organized than forces trying to limit spending," Uhler said. Asked what would be cut from the federal budget under the spending lid his groups proposes, Uhler, an official in the administration of former' California Gov. Ronald Reagan, said many practices in federal agencies are inefficient. "I think we know, no matter where we can look in government, we can cut layer upon layer of fat' before we get to the lean," Uhler said. Uhler also issued a "score card" rating Iowa' congressmen on their spending votes.

A score of 100, Uhler explained, would be a "very sound, conservative spending policy." Republican Sen. Roger Jepsen scored the highest of the delegation with a 95. Democratic. Sen. John Culver scored a 3.

Among members of' the House, Democratic Rep. Berkley Bedell scored a 21. Only Democratic Rep. Tom Harkin had a lower score among Iowa members of the. House.

His score was 20. Uhler said the rating was based on votes on 44. issues in the House and 38 issues in the Most of the votes, Uhler said, were on budget resolutions and they were considered without' regard for the issue involved. Sergeant Bluff man files counterclaim Robert Rogers of Sergeant Bluff filed a counterclaim in Woodbury County District Coutt Tuesday seeking $300,000 from Charles A. Kerr of Sergeant Bluff, the estate of Hildegarde Kerr, and Chance Land and Investment Co.

The counterclaim alleges that a suit filed by Chance against Rogers on May 20 was designed "to harass, annoy and discredit" Rogers. Rogers claims in the counterclaim that Kerr is "attempting to seek revenge" against Rogers because of Rogers' opposition to the annexation of Sergeant Bluff by the Farmers Drainage District. Kerr has been a trustee of the district and was In favor of the annexation, the counterclaim says. The counterclaim says Kerr is an heir to and executor of the estate of Hildegarde Kerr, and that Kerr is an officer and stockholder of Chance. The suit filed by Chance last May seeks $5,002 from Rogers because of alleged breach of an oral lease agreement and negligence.

The petition says that during the 1978 and 1979 crop years, Rogers breached the agreement by his failure to participate in the federal set-aside program, by improperly applying certain chemicals to the rented land not authorized by Chance, and because of his failure to distribute the 1978 bean crop and 1979 corn crop as the parties had' agreed. The counterclaim filed Tuesday says that because of the Chance suit, Rogers "has been unjustly exposed to adverse publicity, talk, criticism and defamation of his character and ability as a farmer." The suit has made it difficult for Rogers money, buy and sell grain, and rent land, the counterclaim says. The counterclaim alleges that Kerr "has threatened his tenants including Rogers, and has cancelled Rogers' lease, because he opposed the annexation." The suit was intended to force Rogers to drop election contests, questions of conflict of interest and wrongful expenditure of Farmers Drainage District money, and other annexation matters, the counterclaim alleges. The counterclaim says Rogers entered into a written lease with the Kerr estate in 1974, and farmed the land through the 1979 crop year. Rogers seeks $100,000 in actual damages and $200,000 in exemplary damages.

In an affidavit filed July 24, Rogers says he held back 1,470.72 bushels of corn valued at $2 per bushel because he believed Kerr was not going to pay his share of planting expenses. Rogers says in the affidavit that he and Kerr "were compatible and continued to work harmoniously as landlord and tenant" before the annexation issue arose. COOKDEFROST $30 OFF 16.0 CU. FT.
