The Billings Gazette from Billings, Montana • 5

Erjf Billings (Sazftt Monday, July 10. 1972 pread-the-wealth plan revised nv The front -running Democratic presidential candidate, who admitted in May that his plan might fall $27 billion short of meeting its costs, has decided to postpone the unveiling of the new version until after the Democratic National Convention. The new version, Like the old, would eliminate the $750 personal tax exemption and provide a tax credit for all persons above a certain annual income and a cash payment for everyone below that income level. tax The break-even point in the old plan was around $12,000. Under the new proposal, the break-even point for single tax payers would come at a consid erably lower income level than $10,000.

For married persons with large families, it would be higher But under the new plan there would be fewer situations in which poorly paid single persons would, in effect, be paying the way for higher income families with several children. But instead of the original $1,000 per-person payment. McGovern's aides said in Washington, the amount of the federal income grant would vary according to the recipient's age and other factors. McGovern advisers here have divulged further details. One proposal before the South Dakota senator, they said privately, calls for payments of around $1,600 for each person 65 and over and around $1,250 each for other adults.

The amounts would be much By STERLING F. GREEN MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (APi -Sen. George McGovern's spread the-wealth income payments, once mentioned as per person per year, may wind up as high as $1,600 for each older citizen and as low as $400 per child. The disputed plan for welfare overhaul and tax reform, described by his political foes as arithmetically unworkable, has been revised and, as his aides said, "sent back through the computer." smaller for children about $600 for teen-agers and $400 for each younger child.

Thus, a family of four would not receive $4,000. as it would under the original proposal of the South Dakota senator but. if the children were young only $3,200. McGovern himself has stated that the revised plan means that a family of four with income up to about $20,000 would pay less tax than it now does, while a family with income above $20,000 would pay more L7V Ml UMM BUY ITU i7 eon Photolax PLAZA APPLIANCE HAS JUST PURCHASED THE G.E.

DIAGONAL Cw WithTrade SAN FRANCISCO UPI i-Did you know that the first man arrested in Abilene in Wild West days was black? Or that San Francisco's first hotel was built by a Negro? And the first man to die for independence of the United States was black? Larry Diggs knows, and he is spreading the word. Diggs, 24, spent months painstakingly researching' the role blacks played in development of United States, something he describes as "all in a day's work" as director of ethnic minorities at San Francisco radio station KSFO.

His research led to production of 50 one-minute tapes on black contributions good and bad which are played between records day and night. The station reports that response from listeners since the first broadcast was aired six months ago has been overwhelming. Requests for 15,000 copies of a booklet containing transcripts have been received by the white-oriented station. Schools and community organizations, as well as individual listeners, have written for the books. The information has been included in curricula for some elementary schools in the area.

Diggs is so pleased with the results that he's started work on a series about Mexican-Americans, Japanese, Chinese and Filipinos all of whom make- up large segments of California's polyglot population. The young black, who has traveled extensively overseas and began working in radio and television community affairs in college, admits a lot of the work on gathering information about blacks was made easier by a New Deal program of the 1930s. The federal government at that time researched black history in the United States to meet demands from a restive population. Diggs said he's having much more trouble finding material about other minority groups. One reason, he said, is because many Mexicans, for example, have had to claim to be Spanish to make a success.

Diggs said he began his project when he got fed up with hearing people say, "the blacks are complaining this country hasn't done anything for them, but what have they done for this country." "The idea is to play over and over information in short shots using simple words," he said. "You sandwich it between two records and listeners hardly notice it. Play it often enough and soon the image that the black man is just a good dancer it doesn't actually get washed out but it gets jumbled into other things. It kind of washes the brain." Diggs admits he didn't want to challenge mistaken notions in the little messages because that may just turn people off. He has a commentary and documentary program for that side.

Rather, he said, he wants the information to be received in a listener's subconscious. He thinks he's been successful because of almost no adverse reaction and a huge demand for copies of his broadcasts.

Fred Cramer, a vice president of the U.S. Chess Federation acting as Fischer's spokesman, said he was certain the first of the 24 scheduled games will be played Tuesday "unless Spassky is still ill." The fact that the official match arbiter, West German Grandmaster Lothar Schmidt, has returned to his home in Bamberg and will not be back in Reykjavik until Thursday "will not stop the game," Cramer said.

Schmidt flew home Saturday after his son had been injured in a traffic accident. Schmidt's deputy, Gudmundur Arnlaug-sson of Iceland, will take charge of the first game in the $250,000 match for the world title. MvillMd CE II" Dili Sptctrt Britt'" Pictutt WATER WEIGHT PROBLEM?
