"When he took over in 1967, the state was in deficit operation, even though the state constitute said that couldn't happen. In his eight years he reversed that situation, and returned some surplus money to the taxpayers, and did it by cutting the growth of government by about 50 percent," she said. "Our campaign now is to take this country into this decade in fiscal responsibility, and we want to get the chance to make this system work," she said.

In a press conference preceding the dinner session, Miss Reagan said she believes the China situation has been overplayed. "My father believes the majority of the people want relations continued with China, but he also believes the majority of the people do not want to ridicule Taiwan." The comment produced a supporting remark from Gov. Thompson: "Most media are now saying Gov. Reagan's 'two China policy' stand is correct, but they are also saying he shouldn't be talking about it That's an odd situation of chastizing a candidate for telling the truth." Thompson also echoed Miss Reagan's stand on the economic state of UIVJW backs energy labor The United Mine Workers of America is spearheading an anti-nuclear energy labor conference Oct. 10-12 in Pittsburgh, the union announced.

Gerald Hawkins, UMWA legislative representative in Illinois, said the "Save Energy and Full Employment Conference' will involve many national labor unions, including the United Auto workers, the Machinists Union, the Chemical Workers, and the Longshoremen. The UMWA already is formally opposed to nuclear power plants and will use the conference to try to convince more unions to join it. "Some unions are not in total opposition," Hawkins said, "but they're now seriously looking at nuclear energy and its problems."

Thompson, the primary speakers, blasted what they identified as the "Jimmy Carter depression," and the government's lack of any significant energy policy and lagging defense positions. "Government is the source of economic disaster.

If we go on this present course, there is no time left and that time is 1980. Every time there is a recovery reported from a recession period we wind up with higher unemployment and more inflation. "Government is the culprit, and cannot solve the problem and people are starting to recognize that fact. We have to control government, or we're going to go down the Miss Reagan said.

Economy is the No. 1 issue of this campaign." Thompson said President Carter's recently announced economic plan "is a great jobs plan, designed to save one job his." Thompson said the country still has no energy plan, and said: "They continue to talk about coal, but they won't let us burn it." On defense, Thompson said the country must have a strong defense, second to none. "There is a lot of talk about Reagan 'getting his finger on the button'," but said he is more concerned about the man who has the finger on the button now, and who has let the defense of the country slip so far. "This invisible plane they announced the other day that's an example of their invisible defense policy," Thompson said. Others who spoke briefly were O'Neal, Tyner, and John T.

O'Neal, the party candidate for U.S. Senator, said a recent poll shows he is "closing the gap" with the Democratic candidate, Alan Dixon. "The '80s are going to be a great time for America.

I'm tired of hearing how America is a second rate nation. It never has been and never will be," O'Neal said. Anderson announced a planned fund-raising event for September, with the date not definitely set He said it will be a "big band type of show." anti-nuclear conference The UMWA is promoting coal as an alternative to nuclear energy and, Hawkins noted, Illinois, with 1,400 laid-off miners, has more bituminous coal and more nuclear power plants than any other state. Hawkins contended that national energy policy should lean heavily toward developing scrubbers to clean high-sulfur coal such as that in Illinois. "If the federal government directed, on a dollar for dollar basis, as much financial support for cleaning coal as it does for developing nuclear power, coal could be safely burned in most of the United States," Hawkins said.

The UMWA supports a moratorium on the construction of new nuclear plants for both health and economic reasons, Hawkins said. tiary in Chester to protest the Illinois death penalty and the transfer of death row prisoners from Stateville to Menard.
