Senate president Fadeley doesn’t know
if he’ll support Atiyeh’s tax increase
SALEM (AP) — Senate President Ed Fadeley
said Monday he hasn't made up his mind whether
to support Gov Vic Atiyeh's proposed state
income tax increase
"I’m not running around saying no new
taxes,’ ” the Eugene Democrat said at his first
formal news conference since his election Friday
to the Senate s top job
Atiyeh is proposing a flat 1 percent net
receipts tax — a form of income tax — in addition
to existing state income taxes to balance his
recommended $3 3 billion general fund budget
for 1983-85
Fadeley said one advantage of the governor's
tax plan is that it wouldn't require establishing a
new bureaucracy to collect it
Disadvantages, Fadeley said, include that the
net receipts levy would be a new tax and that it
"waters down the ability to pay” theory of taxa
tion The 1 percent figure would apply no matter
what the person's income level; other income
taxes are on a sliding scale, with a higher per
centage assessed against people with higher
incomes
Fadeley said one reason he appointed
Democratic Sen Charles Hanlon of Cornelius as
chairman of the Senate Revenue Committee is
that other Democrats vying for the post all are
public employees
"People who live full time on tax dollars
shouldn't be in charge of the tap,” Fadeley said
“I’d rather have someone run the committtee who
doesn't sup at the public trough.”
Other contenders for the top job on the
committee that will handle tax measures were
Democratic Sens Frank Roberts of Portland.
Clifford Trow of Corvallis and Rod Monroe of
Portland Roberts and Trow are teachers at state
universities, and Monroe is a high school instruc
tor.
Fadeley didn't name any Republicans to one
of the 14 panels he appointed Monday, the Trade
and Economic Development Committee
That prompted criticism from Senate GOP
Leader Tony Meeker of Amity He said the party
especially deserves representation on that com
mittee because it's a permanent panel that func
tions year round unlike most committees, which
go out of business when the Legislature adjourns
Fadeley told reporters he wasn't aware that
he hadn't given a committee slot to the Repub
licans, who are outnumbered 21-9 in the Senate
Meeker later met with Fadeley and afterward
said Fadeley told him the lack of a GOP member
on the panel was an oversight. Fadeley pledged to
consider changing the committee lineup. Meeker
said
Justice Blackmun wears abortion tag
WASHINGTON (AP) — 'Author of the abor
tion decision,” Harry Blackmun said softly and
slowly as if re-studying the phrase We all pick up
tags I'll carry this one to my grave '
When the Supreme Court legalized abortion
10 years ago, it used Blackmun's words, carving
his inevitable niche in American history
"I knew it was a no-win case, but I didn't ask
for the (opinion-writing) assignment,' Blackmun
said in a rare on-the-record interview
' I am mildly annoyed at those, law professors
included, who personalize it It was a decision of
the court, not my decision There were seven
votes,” Blackmun said of the landmark ruling in a
case entitled Roe vs Wade
Nevertheless, most of the estimated 45.000
letters since delivered to the Supreme Court's
marble temple on Capitol Hill have been ad
dressed to Blackmun
We still receive eight, nine or 10 letters a
day, " he said "Some are very supportive, very
lovely messages But most are very abusive The
more recent ones are as abusive as the initial
ones."
Ignoring the advice of fellow justices against
reading such mail, Blackmun says: “I want to
know what the people who wrote are thinking ”
They have called him a murderer, a butcher,
even Pontius Pilate They have compared him to
the Nazi overseers of genocide
On occasion, as recently as last year on the
campus of the University of Georgia, his speaking
appearances have been picketed
A devout Methodist. Blackmun has read
letters of condemnation sent to him by Methodist
clergymen
"I'd be less than candid if I said it does not
hurt, but not as much anymore,” he said People
misunderstand I am not for abortion I hope my
family never has to face such a decision "
Blackmun is convinced, however, that the
Supreme Court was on solid legal ground when it
ruled that a woman's constitutional right of
privacy includes the right to end an unwanted
pregnancy
"I still think it was a correct decision We were
deciding a constitutional issue, not a moral one."

Reagan s son Ron hangs up his tu-tu
NEW YORK (AP) - Ron
Reagan, the son of Pres Ronald
Reagan, has quit the Joffrey
Ballet and plans to retire from
dancing "to pursue other inter
ests." a spokeswoman for the
ballet company said Monday
Reagan's departure came
less than a month before the
start of rehearsals for a national
tour that begins at the Kennedy
r
Center in Washington on Feb
22, according to Rima Cohe, the
spokeswoman
"We are sorry that he will not
be continuing as a dancer."
said Robert Joffrey, director ot
the ballet "We have believed he
had the capabilities for a career
since he first came to the Joffrey
Ballet School as a scholarship
student on July 2, 1979
In October Reagan, 24, at
tracted national attention when
it was learned he was collecting
unemployment
Hours before his father told
the nation on TV that economic
recovery was coming, his son
was photographed standing in
line at the state unemployment
office at Sixth Avenue and 20th
Street in Manhattan
