  • Page 2 /THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/JANUARY 31, 1980 TheVfestern Carofinion Member of the Intercollegiate Press Editorial Staff AlLagano Rob Gathings Mark Wilkins Royce Smith Lee Grant Steve Surles Chip Hammond Bart Bennett E.S. McDaniel Editor-in-Chief Business Manager Managing Editor Associate Editor News Editor Sports Editor Columnist Art Editor Photo Editor Baker eyes oval By LEE GRANT News Editor Senator Howard Baker of Tennessee has his eyes on the oval office as do many other Republican leaders at this time. Baker is different in some respects than most of the front runners in that he is the only one of the main four [Bush, Connally and Reagan] who has held a high elected public office in the past decade. In 1964 Howard Baker started along the road in national politics by entering the Senate race to obtain the seat vacated by the late Senator Estes Kefauver. After being narrowly defeated, Baker set his eyes on the other Senate seat in Tennessee. In 1966 Howard Baker became the first Republican ever to win a U.S. Senate seat in Tennessee. When all of the votes were tabulated, he had won by nearly 100,000 votes over incumbent Governor Frank Clement. Senator Baker has become one of the most active members of Congress in his time. During his first years in the Senate the senator led the fight to insure fair legislative apportionment on a one man one vote basis, which started out in Tennessee with Baker vs. Carr, a case that was finally decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. After being reelected in 1972, Baker, along with Senator Hubert Humphrey, co-sponsored the original revenue sharing legislation. Baker helped draft some of the most significant air and water quality legislation in the decade. Also during his service on the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy, the senator became one of the Senate's leading authorities on nuclear power. In recent years Senator Baker was instrumental in Congressional passage of the Railroad Revitalization and Regulatory Act of 1976. Actually, what most of the nation remenbers about Senator Baker's career was his handling of the Watergate Hearings in 1973. Senator Baker, everyday, reminded his colleagues not to make any judgements until all of the facts were in. Though the hearings affected his party, Baker questioned each witness diligently until he was satisfied that the whole truth was out in the open. It was during these hard times that the senator captured the respect of the senate from all parties. Senator Baker has not been one to go along with his colleagues just because the issue is politically feasible. On the issues the senator votes according to what he feels is right no matter what the political reprocussions are. An example of this was his vote to adopt the Panama Treaty. However, it should be noted that the senator did not vote on the treaty until several changes were such as, guaranteeing the U.S. access to the Canal as well as its right to defend the Canal. Senator Baker opposes the Salt II Treaty stating last week on Face the Nation, that "President Carter was out traded on Salt II." Baker has attacked Carter on several issues. Baker supports registration for the draft, but not a peacetime draft. Senator Baker was one of the co-sponsors to the all volunteer army. Senator Baker has been critical of many of the President's policies over the years. From the cancelling of the Bl bomber to the delaying of the cruise and MX missies. Baker feels that the 80's are going to be a time when strong and positive leadership will be a necessity. The senator does not believe that the flip flopin of policy that he feels typifies the Carter Administration can be allowed to continue. As he said last week about Carter's strong words to the Russians, "the words are right, but they are three years too late." Political Footnote: It was announced Tuesday that Republican contender Ronald Reagan has asked the federal government for matching campaign funds. This is only significant in the fact that the former Governor has always denounced the giving of matching funds by the government as wasteful government spending. Hendon announces canidacy STATEMENT BY BILL HENDON Today I am announcing my candidacy for the United States Coneress from the 11th District of North Carolina. Subject to the May Republican Primary, I have recently resigned my positions as General Manager of a local manufacturing plant and as Uth District Republican Chairman to devote full time to seeking this office. I am entering this race because I really am concerned about what is happening to our country, both at home and around the world. The tremendous problems we all see and know about, like runaway inflation, the incredible price of fuel oil and gasoline, and the lack of respect for America all over the world seem out of control and beyond the ability of anyone to solve. But, this doesn't keep these problems from being felt any less by the American people. The effect of runaway inflation hits home every time another retired couple finds that their hard earned retirement check just won't pay all the bills this month, or when younger folks have to take on astronimical debts just to buy the bare necessities for modern living. We have just seen gasoline hit $1.00 a gallon at the pumps, and now the oil companies tell us it will be $2.00 a gallon by the end of this year. At those prices, driving may become a luxury many of us just cannot afford. And internationally, just turn on the news and see where another American Embassy was burned, or where the Russians have taken over a country, or something else adverse to American interests has taken place somewhere in the world. I believe, our people are concerned, like me, about these problems and the effect they are having and will have on all of us. I believe our people, like, me, want something done about the situation. They want the situation brought back under control with some stability that we can count on in the world and in our own affairs. Now I'm not going to stand here and tell you that one Congressman can do everything about these problems. But I do know this, one Congressman can do something about them. Having grown up here in Western North Carolina and having travelled throughout these mountains, I believe I know what our people are really concerned about. My family and I are concerned about those very same things. And that's what this campaign is going to be all about. As we travel throughout the District talking to people individually and in groups, we'll try to talk with them about the real issues, the issues really affecting our people, the issues that Congress must face if we are going_ to have the future we want for our families and ourselves. And we're going to talk with them about what our next Congressman can do to help make that future a reality. One thing is tor sure. We're not going to be able to solve this country's problems with the same old "politics-as-usual" Congress that has given us higher Congressional pay raises, better Congressional pension plans, and new office buildings, but no solutions to the real problems facing the people of this country. It's going to take a new Congress made up of common-sense people who are more interested in solving this country's problems than in getting re-elected. I want to be part of that new Congress. Gudgerseeks re-election STATEMENT OF CONGRESSMAN LAMAR GUDGER I am today announcing for re-election, asking the people of North Carolina's 11th District again to allow me the privilege of serving them in our nation's Congress. At the same time, I wish to express my gratitude for the support which the citizens of Western North Carolina have provided since I was first elected to this challenging office in 1976. The tasks at hand for our Republic would terrify a lesser people. Each day presents a new challenge, a new threat, a new hazard. Already plagued with continuing inflation that picks our pockets and an energy crisis some feel insoluble, we have lately been confronted by added tumult abroad. Fifty of our people are held hostage by militant terrorists in Iran. Now Soviet Russia, sensing an opening, snatches the opportunity to seize Afghanistan and renew its quest of centuries for warm-water port. I cannot offer easy answers to these problems. We did not reach our present situation overnight and no patchwork of promises will resolve these complex troubles. My experience in the 95th and 96th Congresses, with growing seniority, plus membership on the Interior and Judiciary Committees as well as the Select Committee on Aging, have allowed me to move into a position better representing the concerns of Western North Carolina. On Interior, I provide input for developing policies on Public lands. Since our District has some 20 percent of its lands held in trust for the people, issues such as the RARE II Wilderness Study, the Cataloochee Road problems, and resolving Swain County's 1943 Agreement require decisions affecting us all. Judiciary responsibilities range from rewriting and simplifying our Federal Criminal Code to assuring that the Justice Department aggressively investigates all allegations of oil company improprieties. Our Senior Citizens, having given so much to our land, now see their golden years tarnished, inflation draining away retirement dreams. I was privileged this past July to chair the first Congressional Field Hearing ever held by the Select Committee on Aging in Western North Carolina as we studied how well the Federal Aging Programs were working in our District. io't^u"1 again t0 renew tne Promise I made to you in 1976 that I would be a working Congressman dedicated to representing all the people, not special interests. My record in the past year of Congress, recorded present and voting on 96.4 percent of all votes, is one of the best in the House of Representatives. I also pledged (and I now renew that pledge), continuing communication with the people of the 11th District. Seminars, town meetings, weekly reports, newsletters school appearances, questionnaires, and special mailings all testify to this commitment. They wilt continue. I am running on my record as a working Congressman and rededicate myself to the service of Western North Carolina and its fine people. Last week the Western Carolinian printed a story stating that the UCB and SGP had been accused of mishandling of funds. This week the SGA informed us that this was not true and there were no such rumors.
