Denney said Monday he
believed the appeals court is
almost certain to agree with the
Lane County district court judge
that the complaint charging Ri
chard Staley of Eugene with
harassing a black Eugene
police officer should be dis
missed
However, state attorneys
believe the appeals court would
agree to dismiss the charges
because of a technical error in
the complaint, and would not
consider the constitutionality of
the law
The racial-harassment statute
was approved by the 1981
Legislature at the urging of Gov.
Vic Atiyeh The statute extend
ed the existing harassment law.
a Class B misdemeanor, by
making racial harassment a
Class A misdemeanor
Staley was accused of making
insulting racial comments to
Eugene police officer Ronald
Harrison, who went to Staley's
home in February to investigate
a reported domestic dispute
Irked at Reagan,
man just dams it
LAS VEGAS. Nev. (AP) - A
man who said he was disgrun
tled over Pres Ronald Reagan's
promise of financial aid to Brazil
perched on cables 800 feet
above the Colorado River at
Hoover Dam Tuesday
The man, who identified him
self as Steve McPeak of Las
Vegas, climbed onto the cables
Monday night He said he would
not come down until he talked to
Reagan
A spokesman at Hoover Dam,
who asked not to be identified,
said the man had set up a ham
mock on a series of six closely
spaced cables that stretch
across the gorge just below the
dam He said the six cables,
each 316 inches in diameter,
form a sort of sidewalk and are
not hard to move on for
someone who is not afraid of
heights
McPeak told a reporter Mon
day night he was upset because
Reagan was spending money
on foreign aid instead of
"Americans who are starving ."
McPeak said the only way he
could draw attention was to get
on top of some federal project
He said he wanted American
money spent on projects such
as Hoover Dam, which benefit
America
McPeak has been arrested
twice on charges of trespassing
on government property after
pulling similar feats at the dam
McPeak reportedly had a
two-way radio that could be
used for a telephone hookup if
he were able to talk to Reagan
Bi-partisan House denys MX funds
WASHINGTON (AP) - The
House late Tuesday rejected by
245-176 a down payment of
nearly $1 billion for the MX
missile system, “The
Peacekeeper" that Pres Ron
ald Reagan deems vital for con
vincing the Soviet Union to get
serious about nuclear arms
reductions
The House vote deletes from
a $231 6 billion defense spend
ing bill all $988 million ear
marked for the first five of a
planned 100 of the nuclear
tipped, intercontinental mis
siles.
The vote marked a personal
defeat for Reagan, who had led
an intensive administration lob
bying campaign to keep the
production money intact
Fifty of Reagan's fellow
Republicans joined 195
Democrats to give the MX op
ponents their majority The mi
nority consisted of 138 Repub
licans and 38 Democrats
Joining against Reagan on
the MX issue were advocates of
a U.S.-Soviet nuclear freeze and
members who contended that
the MX was a good place to
make budget economies since
Congress has not yet decided
whether its proposed basing
system will work.
Opponents were also seeking
to cut other defense expendi
tures. Work on the entire ap
propriations bill was expected
to be completed on Wednesday
and sent to the Senate, which
has a $233 billion version from
its Appropriations Committee
awaiting floor action
Calling the outcome "a grave
mistake,” Reagan said con
gressmen who voted against the
MX were ''sleepwaking into the
future " He said there was still
time to reverse the House deci
sion, and he pledged to take his
case to the people to rally sup
port for the missile
In a written statement handed
out at the White House, Reagan
said of the vote: "Unless
reversed in coming days, it will
seriously set back our efforts to
protect the nation s security and
could handcuff our negotiators
at the arms table ”
“I had hoped that most of the
members in the House had
awakened to the threat facing
the United States,’’ Reagan ad
ded "That hope was apparently
unfounded A majority chose to
go sleepwalking into the fu
ture.”
The Defense Department
withheld any official comment.
However, a Pentagon legislative
strategist said, "We don't feel
the battle is over."
The analyst, who asked not to
be identified, added, "We in
tend to continue to work the
problem on the Senate side "
This was a clear indication the
Reagan administration was
banking its hopes for winning
approval in the Republican
controlled Senate and then in a
subsequent House-Senate con
ference.
State drops its appeal
of race intimidation law
EUGENE (AP) - Oregon has
dropped its appeal of a case in
which the state's new racial in
timidation law was declared un
constitutional.
Assistant Attorney General
Thomas Denney said that he
