"II IU I 1,1.1111, IIUU.JJIIII, IUI, KUI.I.I II Friday, Feb. 27, 1981 Santa Cruz Sentinel 47 Democrats Manatt Takes Over Party Reins WASHINGTON (AP) Los Angeles lawyer Charles T. Manatt took over as Democratic national chairman today, pledging to bring the party back "to its senses" and overcome the Democrats' embarrassing 1980 election losses. New York committeeman Joseph Crangle, the only other remaining contender lor the job, withdrew on the eve of the vote to give Manatt election by acclamation in a show of party unity. Manatt, chosen at the first post-election meeting of the Democratic National Committee, warned that Democrats must struggle to overcome last year's Republican gains that saw Konald Reagan elected as president and a GOP takeover of the Senate.

"We have been out-conceptualized, out-organized, out-televised, out-coordinated, out-financed and outworked," Manatt said in his acceptance speech. "So what are we going to do?" Manatt asked. "We are going to bring the greatest party in the history of the country to its senses to recapture the initiative in ideas and organization and planning. "We are going to set aside ego, turf and private personal demands that divide us from our common grounds and common dedication," Manatt said. "We are going to renew this party from top to bottom lor the challenges of the 1980s and the 1990s." Manatt, the party's chief fund-raiser for the past two years, succeeded John C.

White, who was hand-picked for the post by former President Jimmy Carter in 1978. White did not seek re-election. Manatt pledged to pick up the pieces rom last year defeats and rebuild a winning coalition. "Let's do it together," he urged. Under new rules adopted Thursday, the party will have three vice chairmen.

One of them is expected to be Mayor Richard G. Hatcher of Gary, who won endorsement ol the party's black caucus. Hatcher, current chairman of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, defeated party Vice Chairman Coleman Young in a narrow caucus vote. Young, mayor of Detroit and a strong backer of Carter, then withdrew as a candidate for re-election to the party office.

The second vice chairmanship is considered an Hispanic post and was expected to go to Polly Baca Barrigan, a Colorado state senator. The third vice chairmanship, the preserve of Democratic women, was being fought over by Iowa national committee member Lynn Cotton and Pennsylania com-mitteewoman Dotty Zug. The new rule requires that two of the top party officers be men and the other two be women. The other racial and ethnic allocations are unofficial but traditionally honored. Unopposed for party treasurer was Kansas City businessman Charles E.

Curry, who had run brietly for chairman but withdrew in favor of Manatt. Peter Kelly, a Hartford, lawyer who has been party treasurer, succeeds Manatt as finance council chairman and Dorothy Bush, a familiar figure because of her televised roll-calls at national conventions, continues as secretary. The only friction to arise Thursday in the first round of the two-day national committee meeting came over a slate of at-large members proposed by Manatt and endorsed by other party leaders. Ohio state party chairman Paul Tipps objected to the slate-style printed ballot and insisted on allowing nominations from the floor so a political ally could be in the running for an at-large seat on the committee. However, this reflected Ohio politics rather than any serious national party split and the entire slate proposed by Manatt was approved by the national committee, a significant vote of confidence for the new chairman even before his own In a rare bit of financial good news for the party, Kelly reported that a $9 million debt which has burdened the party since 1968 is virtually paid off, and that current finances are in the black.

It was the first firm reassuring financial report the party has received since it picked up unpaid tabs tor the unsuccessful 1968 presidential campaigns of Hubert H. Humphrey, Robert F. Kennedy and Eugene McCarthy after one of the most bitter nomination fights and most frustrating defeats in the party's history. Last fall Carter became the first elected president to be denied a second term since Republican Herbert Hoover in 1932. Democrats also lost control of the Senate, tor the first time since 1954, and lost 33 seats in the House.

As his recept predecessors in the White House learned, Reagan is discovering that By OWEN ULLMANN WASHINGTON (AP) No matter how furiously President Reagan's budget cutters hew away at federal programs, they Navy Reveals Soviet Naval Major Gains actual federal spending keeps outrunning the best-laid budget plans. Unlike the experience of his predecessors, however, Reagan expects to succeed in holding the line.

In 10 of the last 12 years, actual spending exceeded the original budget plans by amounts ranging from $300 million to $48 billion. Analysis Oct. 1. This week he learned that up to $6 billion in additional cuts would be needed to stay within his limit. By July, when the government makes its next projections, spending is likely to be up again, and that means another round of cuts.

Reagan's first round of proposed cuts which Congress may approve only in part caused shouts of pain from special-interest groups ranging from poor people threatened by restrictions on social programs to corporations threatened with reductions in federally subsidized loans. "There's no question but this next round of cuts is going to be a lot harder and more painful," said one official at the Office of Management and Budget. "And it's going to become progressively harder." Reagan and his budget director, David A. Stockman, insist that recent history notwithstanding, they can and will keep a lid on federal spending. "You bet we can," Reagan told reporters Thursday when asked it he thought he could find new cuts to hold 1982 spending to $695.5 billion.

Stockman made a similar pledge in testimony before the House Appropriations Committee. Government spending during the past two years, for example, is expected to run $87 billion higher than the Carter administration estimated in its original budget plans. That would be more than the entire federal budget for 1958. The main culprit for the ballooning budgets has been inflation, the very affliction that Reagan's cuts are supposed to help alleviate. Presidential plans also have gone awry as a result of changes made by Congress, which tends to increase spending before giving final approval to a budget.

Last week, Reagan proposed $41.4 billion in budget cuts to limit spending to $695.5 billion for fiscal 1982, which begins Democrats Fear GOP To Control Mouse CINCINNATI (AP) A confidential report Irom a consultant to the Democratic National Committee says the Republicans have created such a slick national machine they may win control of the House in the 1982 elections. The report was revealed today by The Cincinnati Enquirer, which said it had obtained the report from an state Democratic party official. The report, dated Feb. 6, from Matt Reese Associates said the Republican National Committee has raised $3 million for a redisricting campaign and has already spent $1 million. In an accompanying memo.

Reese called the Republican efforts since 1978 "brilliant" and said it was time Democrats learned about the need for organization, fund raising and data collection. Reese also said the Republican election successes last November resulted from organization rather than public dissatisfaction with the Carter administration. "I've looked into what they've been doing and have seen that much, if not most, of their recent success is due to their conprehensive, deliberate and effective campaign machine, rather than some fuzzy concept of the national mood turning right and, therefore, Republican," he said. The Reese report credited the Republicans with development of a national theme with advertising, strategies, research and national television presentation that created a strong image and an organization independent of any individual campaign. purpose guided-missile cruiser of 11.000-13.000 tons called Blackcom-1 that probably will carry long-range cruise missiles to at- tack enemy surface ships, and will be defended by advanced surface-to-air missiles.

Its hull is made of lightweight titanium alloy, "clearly a major technological breakthrough in sophisticated submarine construction techniques." Shapiro said. Pentagon scientists have said the titanium skin reduces the Alfa sub's vulnerability to detection by magnetic means. But Shapiro did not mention a reported potentially fatal weakness reported by the scientists that the sub is even noisier than earlier Soviet subs, making it easier for U.S. submarine-killers to find.

WASHINGTON (AP) -The Navy's intelligence chief, noting major naval advances by the Soviet Union, says the United States "can no longer depend on superior American technology to offset Soviet numbers." Rear A dm. Sumner Shapiro, director of naval intelligence, detailed the advances in testimony Thursday during a closed session of the House Armed Services Committee. The Pentagon made public an unclassified version of his testimony, including previously secret details. The Navy has discussed some of the developments before but mostly in general terms.

The disclosures, made as the Reagan administration is preparing to request a dramatic increase in Navy shipbuilding, came one day alter Navy Secretary John Lehman called for a drive to assure "unqualified naval superiority" for the United States. Shapiro's disclosures included that the Soviets': New ballistic missile submarine Typhoon displaces 25,000 tons. It is considerably larger than the biggest U.S. missile-firing submarine, the Trident. Shapiro said emergence of the first sub of the Typhoon class "is clear testimony that the Soviets intend to maintain a significant portion of their strategic strike forces at sea."
