Congressman Chided

Reagan Tax Cut Opposed by Hughes

WASHINGTON - Declaring the public hasn’t been told the whole truth about either the Democratic or Republican tax alternatives, Congressman Bill Hughes last week voted instead for what he said was a more conservative tax cut plan that would also balance the budget by October. "There is no question that taxpayers need genuine tax relief, and greater incer^ lives for saving, productivity and investment,” Hughes said. "Unfortunately, the final proposals of the Democrats and Republicans showed little difference, and were loaded down with special interest giveaways." According to Hughes, "the tax cut — amounting to 1733 billion between now and 1986 — can only be paid for if the government borrows more money. That means we will not see a balanced Federal budget

until at least 1985, and that we wilH^ee more borrowing, more inflation, more deficits, and more high interest rates." AND NOTING that the budget already mandates $50 billion in unspecified cuts for fiscal 1983 and 1984, Hughes warned that larger deficits would increase the pressure to cut back Federal spending in areas such as Social Security or even defense. "It borders on scandal that the government is going to have to print tens of billions of dollars it doesn't have to fund a-'; tax cut geared towards the wealthy," Hughes asserted. "In 1982 alone, a full 10 per cent of the individual tax cuts will go to the 0.3 per cent of all taxpayers who earn

over $200,000 per year."

Hughes voted for a tax cut which was op posed by both the Democratic and

COURT HOUSE — The Japan Fishery Assn, is sending a fish trade development team to explore the potential of expanding underutilized fish exports to Japan. The seven-man team of experts in harvesting, processing, trade and marketing will be in Cape May County Aug. 12 aqd 13. The aim of this mission is to observe U.S. processing facilities, meet fishermen and processors who wish to develop overseas markets and to explain the Japanese efforts in test marketing fishery products. THE JAPANESE fishery trade development team would like to see samples of underutilized fish and fish products which can be harvested and/or processsed in ’ commercial quantities. Data should be made available to them on species, -quantities in which they can be harvested or produced, seasonal availabilities or limitations of the product, and prices. The team will analyze the commercial potential of icach product and will order sample quantities of those with commercial possibilities for a test marketing program in Japan. TEST MARKETING will be carried out in Japanese fish markets, restaurants, food service establishments and processing facilities. The results of the program will guide Japanese importers in further development of markets for U.S. fish and fish products

Stewart Tweed, county Marine Extension Agent, notes that fishermen or processors who would like to explore test marketing of their product in Japan should bontact his office to arrange a meeting with the trade mission. His office can also help in preparing information on annual landings, seasonal availability and other data for the Japanese.

COURT HOUSE — Beech Fox, the county sheriff who unsuccessfully ran against Cong. Bill Hughes last year and who continues monitoring his nemesis, has blasted the congressman fo^djis vote against the president’s tax cut proposal last Wednes-

day.

"faughes had earlier voted against two major pieces of legislation supported by the president which were designed to cut runaway congressional spending in order •to reduce the federal budget — our primary cause of inflationary problems,"

Fox stated this week.

"Positioning himself on the budget cutting proposals, Hughes characteristically employed a diversion to help separate himself from any possible negative con-
