If we did that, he promised we would produce a balanced budget within a few years, and then surpluses to reduce outstanding government debt or to provide funds for new federal tax cuts. Note, he says, this 5 percent cap would not deny government an annual increase. Each year it would still have about $50 billion in new spending to allocate as it saw fit.

All that we're doing here, says Dunkelberg, is making it possible to eliminate the deficit. As matters stand, he explains, "spending is now programmed to grow by more than revenues every year." Put a 5 percent cap on spending growth, he argues, and wilh today's tax code we would achieve in five or six years what has eluded us for two decades, a balanced budget. And after that, a surplus.

Buying or Selling, nnymmg ar an Check The Bulletin Classified Section By JOHN CUNNIFF AP Business Analyst NEW YORK (AP) Congress, says the professor, is a bit like a person in possession of a credit card on which the issuing bank somehow forgot to put a limit. "Credit limits on bank cards are there to protect you from bankruptcy," he says. "While you, perhaps, are sensible enough not to spend yourself into the poorhouse, not everyone is." Congress, he laments, seems to be in the latter category. It talks about cutting the budget deficit, he says, but it has already raised spending plans 1 1 percent beyond the president's proposals. The professor, William Dunk-elbcrg, is an economist, but he says the budget deficit is almost solely a political issue.

Everyone understands the need for government to live within its income, but then politics obliterates reason, he says. History demonstrates that America needs to put a cap on federal spending, just as certainly as those caps are needed on credit cards-, he says. Congress chooses to raise taxes instead of cutting spending. Whenever taxes are raised, he continued, you may be sure that spending also will be raised. And when spending is raised, just as certainly you can expect taxes to be raised.

But, the elected official alibis, government needs more money because of inflation. Not so, says Dunkclbcrg. He explains: If the tax rate is 10 percent and you earn a dollar, the government gets 10 cents. If inflation raises your salary by 10 percent, you will get 1 1 0 and the government will get 1 1 cents, or 10 percent more. However, he says, government spending keeps growing as a percent of total income, and that requires higher tax rates or lots of new taxes.

That's what has been happening, he says. "Why should government get more of our output?" he asks. He suggests everyone consider that question and make a political decision: "We must simply decide if we are getting our money's worth from the dollars being spent by government. If we arc, we shall be happy to pay. If not, we should cut spending and send those dollars back to the people who are supposed to be the beneficiaries of the governmental system the taxpayers." Dunkclbcrg is not just an abstract thinker, he is a practical person who understands budgets and has to live within one as dean of Temple University's school of business.

"We must cap federal spending," he declares. He suggests we consider proposals such as that advanced by the Chicago Association of Commerce and Industry, which would put a 5 percent annual cap on government spending increases. And if inflation ate that up, so be it. "It has a happy side effect of making government interested in NOTICE OF REQUEST FOR VARIANCE LATROBE ZONING HEARING BOARD September 1,0, 1990 Notice is hereby given Ihit the Zoning Hearing Board of the Borough of Latrobe at it regular meeting scheduled for Tuesday, September 18, 19901 at 7:30 PM.

(AP) The father of a woman who disappeared after? traffic accident in Montana more than 16 months ago says a transient being held in a northern Idaho jail is not his daughter. 1 Tom Meehan said he and his wife, Dolly, talked with the jailed woman on the phone Saturday night "and we knew it wasn't Patty by her voice." Mcehan's 38-year-old daughter, Patricia Meehan, walked away from a head-on traffic accident on April 20, 1989, and hasn't been seen since. "At first there were certain similarities, enough to make your heart skip," Meehan said in a telephone interview Sunday from his home in Pittsburgh.

"But the longer we talked to her, the more we were convinced it's not Patty." The woman being held in the Kootenai County Jail in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho identifies herself only as Morning Star. She was arrested Thursday for littering by a police officer who spotted her in a restaurant and thought she was Patricia Meehan. A magistrate dismissed the littering charge but authorities on Friday ordered that the woman be kept in jail on a protective order after a doctor examined her and decided that she wasn't mentally competent, Cocur d' Alcne police Lt. Greg Surplus said. -Tom Meehan said he talked with Kurt Flechel, his daughter's former boyfriend, and also was assured by him that the woman isn't his daughter.

"It's not Patty, I'm absolutely sure," Flechel said Friday after visiting the jail the night before. "I've got to admit she's quite similar. But there are some differences." Tom Meehan said the mystery woman is the 28th woman they've checked out of hundreds of reported sightings of his daughter. Art Gallery-Founder Dies MALIBU, Calif. (AP) David Smith, founder of the Baxter Art Gallery at the California Institute of Technology and a Joseph Conrad scholar, died Friday of cancer at age 67.

He founded the gallery in and was its first director. It closed in 1985. The gallery's exhibits were controversial. One involved a computer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology running a program called "Doctor," which represented a form of psychotherapy. That computer was linked to one at Caltech that was running a program called "Parry," which represented paranoid schizophrenia.

Exchanges between the machines were displayed on a screen. Smith was a professor of English for more than 30 years and was editor of the periodical Joseph Conrad Today. The publication focused on the Polish-bom author of such works as "Lord Jim" and "Heart of Darkness." ssssssssssassssssassssaB asasssasaasasBesa saateaaBBsseasasi Pioneer Daniel Boone died in 1820 in Missouri.
