Thatcher urges Nakasone
to alter ‘unfair’ trade rules
(AP) — British Prime Minister
Margaret Thatcher said Sunday
she had warned japan's prime
minister at the Bonn economic
summit that Japan must act
quickly to reform its trade
policy, which she said can be so
unfair it "sticks in my gullet."
But she said she fears the
Japanese won’t do enough to
avoid retaliatory sanctions.
Thatcher spoke in a British
Broadcasting Corp, radio inter
view one day after the end of the
summit meeting, held in the
West German capital by leaders
of seven major industrial na
tions —. the United States,
Canada, West Germany, France,
Italy, Britain and Japan.
London newspapers, whose
correspondents were briefed
r
after the summit ended,
reported on Sunday that That
cher had been exceptionally
blunt with japan’s prime
minister, Yasuhiro Nakasone,
during their 4 5-minute
meeting.
Thatcher said that in her talk
.with Nakasone, she urged
prompt action to clear away
bureaucratic barriers that
foreign firms must overcome
before they can sell in Japanese
markets.
French Foreign Minister
Roland Dumas said in Paris on
Sunday that despite differences
bared at the summit, Europeans
need to be “strong, united and
coordinated” in the face of the
United States and Japan.

Wyden proposes waste tax
PORTLAND (AP) - The federal toxic
waste disposal “Superfund" program could
use a shot of common sense ‘‘Oregon ethics,”
according to U.S. Rep. Ron Wyden.
The 3rd District Democrat told workers at
a Portland toxic waste recycling company
Saturday that “right now the Superfund just
moves dangerous waste from one landfill to
another in a kind of toxic waste shell game.”
Wyden is co-sponsoring a bill to reduce
the amount of hazardous waste in landfills by
providing financial incentive for companies to
recycle waste or avoid creating it.
The measure Wyden helped introduce
would' create a “waste-end” tax on toxic
wastes.

The toughest job
you’ll ever love
We admit it. It takes a dif
ferent kind of person to be a Peace
Corps volunteer.
We won’t mislead you with
gi wing pictures of exotic lands. The
hours as a volunteer are long. The
pay is modest. And the frustrations
sometimes seem overwhelming. But
the satisfaction and rewards are im
mense. You’ll be immersed in a new
culture, become fluent in a new
language, and learn far more about
the third world — and yourself —
than you ever expected.
You’ll also discover that prog
ress brought about by Peace Corps
volunteers is visible and measurable:
Such as health clinics established in
the Philippines; Fresh-water fish
ponds constructed in Kenya; roads
and schools and irrigation systems
built in Upper Volta; tens of thou
sands of people given essential skills
in farming, nutrition, the skilled

trades, business, forestry, and other
specialties throughout the develop

Being a volunteer isn’t for
everyone, and it isn’t easy, but to the
people of the developing nations
who have never before had basic
health care or enough to eat, the
Peace Corps brings a message of
hope and change.
We invite you to look into the
volunteer opportunities beginning in
the next 3-12 months in Africa,
Asia, Latin America, and the Pa
cific. Our representatives will be
pleased to provide you with details. ,
