She said property owners were given a list of four approved appraisers and she's concerned that two, Marino Realty 218 5th and Donald Boutell of Boutell Realty. 233 6th St are members of the Downtown Association.

Racine Director of Economic Development Thomas Wright and Mayor Stephen Olsen said the city did not initiate the plan.

WASHINGTON (AP) President Reagan, preluding over the government during one of the Severest economic downturns since World War II, asserted today that the economy is "now on the toad to a healthy recovery." Even so, the president's Council of Economic Advisers, in its annual report to Congress, predicted the economic pickup would be moderate and that unemployment would stay high for at least several months possibly climbing a bit more before falling.

"Unemployment is the most serious economic problem now facing the United States." the report said. With a recovery in the economy, the report predicted an easing in the unemployment rate, which reached 10.8 percent in December, the highest level since 1940. It did not endorse government-created jobs programs. "Available evident suggests that public works programs 4opti in past recessions prov has won the award before.

Jorgensen said the consulting firm is looking at total downtown development packages" for Racine, including plans for eight different downtown areas. The 'aim, he said, is to be very opportunistic if an opportunity comes up we can grab it and go." 'the old character open beams, old wooden floors."

Eagleburger, the State Department's third ranking official, spoke to the biennial meeting of the World Jewish Congress Governing Board. The group, representing Jewish groups from 25 countries, planned to meet today with President Reagan. Although he did not mention them by name, Eagleburger's message clearly was aimed at West European peace groups which have been intensifying their opposition to the NATO deployment plan as the December deadline approaches. He said the lesson of the recent past is that the Soviets moderate their policies in the face of Western resolve.

The 82-year-old Pepper, a vigorous defender Social Security, said raising the age at which full retirement benefits could be collected amounted to a benefit cut. He suggested changes in taxing formulas to make up the difference. "This Congress acted to save Lcjckheed.

We acted to save Chrysler and the Penn Central Railroad," Pepper said. "The federal government acted to save New York City. These institutions are mere pygmies in comparison to our greatest national success story Social Securityr Meanwhile, AFL-CIO President Lane Kirkland, another reform commission member, told the Ways and Means Committee today that Social Security was "the foundation of American social polity." In prepared testimony, he reiterated that' he supports the compromise package which also- has the backing of President Reagan and House Speaker Thomas. P. O'Neill D-Mass.

"But Kirkland said he opposes a provision that would bring new federal workers under Social Security. Federal and postal workers "are being aslced to blindly accept an unknown proposal," Kirkland said. Their retirement system- should not be changed until these workers have a chance to see what the new system offers, he added. Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dan Rostenkowski, said after Tuesday's hearing that he hopes to have legislation before the full House by March 10. WASHINGTON (AP) A chief architect of the $168 billion Social Security rescue plan says failure by Congress to pass the package could cause turmoil in financial markets that would drive up inflation and interest rates.

Republican economist Alan Greenspan, who headed the National Commission on Social Security Reform, also told the House Ways and Means Committee on Tuesday that there is little room to alter the bailout plan the commission drafted. The Ways and Means Committee was continuing its hearings today on the commission's plan, which includes higher payroll taxes, a six-month freeze on benefits and a tax on some retirees' Social Security benefits to generate $168 billion in new revenues or savings over the next seven years. Over the next 75 years, the moves also would wipe out two-thirds of retirement system's long-term deficit. A majority of the 15-member commission favors raising the retirement age from 65 to 66 by the year 2015 to eliminate the rest of the deficit. But five liberal Democrats on the panel suggested instead another tax increase in the year 2010.

Greenspan urged legislators to gradually raise the retirement age. Ultimately, he said, "The age is going to have to be linked to longevity." In testimony prepared for today's hearing, Rep. Claude Pepper, chairman of the House Rules Committee and a key member of the reform commission who favors the tax increase, 21 51 1 61 cdy I 22 cdy 13 .03 cdy sn rn Kansas City ....29 Las Vegas 53 Little Rock 50 Los Angeles 69 Louisville 61 Lubbock 31 Memphis 62 Miami ,....75 Milwaukee 33 Mbls-St Paul 24 Nashville 61 New Orleans ...71 New York 47 Norfolk 45 North Platte 28 Oklahoma City 40 Omaha 22 Orlando 83 Philadelphia 46 Phoenix 59 Pittsburgh 42 Portland.Me 43 Portland.Ore. ..56 Providence 46 Raleigh 60- Rapid City 37 Reno 43 Richmond HI Albany it Albuquerque ...36 Amarillo 31 Anchorage 41 Asheville Atlanta Atlantic City ...45 Austin Baltimore 45 Billings 40 Birmingham ...60 Bismarck Boise 34 Boston a Brownsvlie 73 Buffalo 32 Burlington 3t Casper 30 Charleston.SC 65 Charleston.wv 59 Charlotte, NC ...62 Cheyenne 31 Chicago 33 Cincinnati 4 Cleveland 39 Columbla.S.C. 6t Columbus 44 Dal Ft Worth ...47 Dayton 40 Denver 31 Oes Moines 21 Detroit 34 Duluth If El Paso SI Fairbanks 23 Farao 23 South African infant dies after surgery .92 clr rn cdy cdy clr 15 cdy 06 cdy cdy rn 24 cdy rn clr rn cdy cdy cdy .10 cdy 2 30 46 27 16 16 57 52 55 19 32 39 37 63 40 32 36 22 26 31 12 39 07 11 02 from Johannesburg after an anonymous donor provided money for the operation.

Matthew was suffering from hypo-plastic left ventricle syndrome, an ailment that shrank his aorta the main artery from the heart to the body to the size of a pencil lead. A normal aorta is about one-half inch in diameter. BOSTON (AP) Doctors "aren't exactly sure" why a week-old South African boy with a rare heart ailment died only 10 hours after surgery, but say they will continue using the delicate new procedure. "No efforts were spared to save the child," said Dr. Peter Lang, who assisted Tuesday in surgery on Matthew Ash.

Imposed between 1977 and 1979, the ban eliminated fluorocarb-ons from use as prop-ellants. such as in hair spray and deodorant. But the chemicals are still used in some applications, notably as refrigerants, in dry cleaning and in plastic foam cushions. Released into the air, fluorocarbons can damage or destroy ozone, according to a National Academy of Science study. "At that time there were essentially few, if any, measurements that had actually been taken, and people really were scared," recalled Edward A.

Klein, director of the chemical control division of the Environmental Protection Agency's office4of toxic substances. Dr. Lester Machta, director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's air resources laboratories, said stud-. ies since the ban have shown a "tremendous drop" in the amount of fluorocarbons being released into the air. Machta said figures from the Chemical Manufacturers Association show 580 million pounds of one of the chemicals, Freon 11, released into the atmosphere in 1981.

That's down 715 million pounds released in 1976, he said. theloiimalTinies 25 years of service (USPS 453-580) 212 Fourth SI. Racine. Witt; Published daily by The Journal tiroes, owned by Lee Enterprises. Incorporated.
