Reagan has made welfare an issue in New Hampshire, contending that his record as governor of California proves he can deal with abuses, take care of the impoverished and still save money. Reagan has said federal welfare programs should turned back to the states.

Carter scheduled a special hearing today outside the presence of the jury to decide whether it will hear the tape. The tape was sent from the underground nine days after the April 15, 1974, San Francisco holdup for which Miss Hearst is on trial. Carter said he would allow both the prosecution and the defense to present whatever testimony they want at the hearing, including witnesses. So it was possible that Miss Hearst would testify about the making of the tape. U.S.

Atty. James L. Browning said the jury should get to hear the tape, which he branded admission of guilt Chief defense counsel F.

Browning said he planned to call the youth to testify about his hours with Miss Hearst.

Linked To Lockheed Cash Baronzzi Spurns Annexation Appeal If Columbiana County Commissioners decide today to appeal a Liverpool Township annexation order, they may have to hire a private attorney. County Prosecutor Joseph Baronzzi reports he is convinced such an appeal wmild not be received by the high court, and he would not undertake to file it. Liverpool Township Friday approved a resolution asking the Commissioners to appeal the Seventh District Court of Appelas action in upholding the annexation bid.

Residents of the 11-acre tract in the Hill Blvd. area west of St. Clair Ave. requested annexation to East three years ago. Their petition was rejected bv the Commissioners on such grounds that the township limits would be in the middle of a street, and would not be in the best interests of the general area.

The residents filed an appeal with Common Pleas Court, and Judge Richard Kennedy ruled the petition was valid, that the Commissioners had no legal grounds for their reasons for turning down the petition The Commissioners then filed an appeal with the appellate court. Liverpool Township trustees in their request for an appeal to the Supreme Court stated the Commissioners were not adequately in the appellate action, and the Commissioners did not have an opportunity to express their reasons for the decision. Baronzzi said the case was properly presented, that he took part in the appellate hearings, and that a capable assistant handled the case. But he said the legal grounds for appeal were such that the courts had to rule against it. The latest interpretation of the annexation law pertaining to the effect of an annexing move is that the of the concens that of the property to be annexed, not the general area.

do not intend to take any further legal Baronzzi stated. I know wrong, I cannot morally or ethically agree with my client in this case, the Commissioners that an appeal should be often, the officials of a subdivision, thinking they are getting free legal service, from a office want to appeal and appeal and Well, mv responsibility is to tell when such a legal move is worthwhile and when it is the Commissioners vote to appeal this action, I have the right to advise them I shaU not do so, and they can employ jM-ivate Baronzzi concluded.

The Calvinist Christian Historical Union, which has seven of the 150 seats in the lower house of parliament, called for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to ban purchases from Lockheed.
