THE PRATTT ILLE PROGRESS PAGE THREE TUESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1987 PRATTVILLE, ALA. Guy Hunt repeats oath i as governor of Alabama Reagan budget would cut grants headed to Alabama governments WASHLNGTON (AP) Federal grant programs for state and local governments in Alabama would be slashed by $94.5 million under President Reagans proposed fed- eral budget for fiscal 1988, with education and social programs taking the biggest cuts. An analysis by Federal Funds Information for States, a Washing-ton-based research group, found that 32 grant programs that benefit Alabama governments would lose 6.5 percent of their spending authority under Reagans budget from $1,459 billion in fiscal 1987 to $1,364 billion in fiscal 1988. Seventeen grant programs mostly for education and social services would lose spending authority under the presidents proposal, while 13 would receive more money and two would remain the same. Nationwide, the study concludes that budget authority for state and local government grant programs would drop by $5.6 billion, a nearly 6 percent reduction, under Reagans 1988 spending blueprint, which is certain to be changed significantly by Congress.

By far the largest spending cut in Alabama would be in child nutrition programs, which include school lunch subsidies. The Reagan budget would reduce fiscal 1987 appropriations fix such programs by 41.7 percent, or $57.7 million. Reagan said in his budget message he wants to save money by limiting participation in federal child nutrituion programs to children from families with incomes below 185 percent of the federal poverty level. The Reagan budget proposal also would reduce spending authority for subsidized housing for the poor in Alabama by $26 million, or 26 percent; it would cut. mission on Aging.

Lee. Hunt said Lee, King and Wallace "are three of the principal leaders who have played historic in this great conflict which has afflicted our nation and our state. Each of these three leaders, along with thousands more of our people, have paid a grievous price in this struggle. Dr. King paid the supreme sacrifice, he said.

He also said of Wallace, who was shot and crippled by a would-be assassin while running for president in 1972: Your sacrifice will be forever remembered by all Alabamians. Now, today, after 126 years, can we join our sister states as a true partner in our nation, a nation in which all men are equal under God. Now, finally, may all Alabamians join hands across our state and say, in a single voice, we now are one Alabama. "Now, shall we move forawrd together in unity, each bearing our rightful share of one common responsibility. This is indeed a new day in Alabama, said Hunt.

Guy Hunt took the oath of office Monday as Alabamas first Republican governor this century, marking the historic end of the George Wallace era by pledging to lead a state in which racial wounds are healed and all men are equal under God. Now, today, have we arrived full circle. Now, today, have we arived at that long awaited moment in Alabama history, the moment when we have finally put to rest the forces that have divided us in this terrible struggle, Hunt said Monday. Hunt spoke after he was sworn in as Alabamas 58th governor.

He stood in front of Alabamas white-domed Capitol, not far from the spot where Jefferson Davis took the oath as president of the Confederacy in 1861 and where Wallace proclaimed segregation forever! at his first inaugural in 1963. Police estimated that some 10,000 people jammed the temporary bleachers and sidewalks for the ceremony, which started about 30 minutes late and minutes after clouds trailing several days of heavy rain parted, giving way to blue skies and glimmering sunshine. The Hunt inaugural, bringing Republicans to power for the first time in 112 years, ironically fell on the pie to Cabinet posts or as heads of state government departments and agencies.

The wreck occurred in a low-lying area near Kelly Bottom Road. The west entrance of that gravel-surfaced road, which runs from U.S. 31 to Alabama 111, was also washed in several places and could not be traveled. In addition to the trooper hazardous material group, members of the state Emergency Management Agency and the Pine Level and Elmore volunteer fire departments assisted in the cleanup. The railroad company pulled undamaged cars on the south end back to Montgomery early Monday and were awaiting equipment from Birmingham, Mobile and Montgomery before trying to clear the wreckage.

The wreckage is expected to be removed by Wednesday. Jones said engineers told him that a small fire started just after the wreck, but that it apparently was extinguished by the rain. I think everything is pretty much under control, but it could have been bad, Jones said.
