"The bill is designed to give the rural counties inducement in the competitive struggle with larger metropolitan areas," Leak said. "It will bring a renewed interest on the part of the industrial investor." Leak told the audience most counties do not know where they want to be 15 to 20 years down the road because they have been so busy reacting to local problems. "I'm not certain McCormick County has a complete plan for further development but I do think certa in target areas should be set You're in a key corridor between Greenwood and Augusta and I believe someone will be enticed to settle an industry in, he concluded.

''But you'll always be getting ready for the future." bring in a prospective industry but, in the final analysis, it will be the community who sells itself." According to Leak, manufacturing investment is the greatest wealth-creating process today. "During the manufacturing process, a certain amount of raw materials, $1, is taken into one side of the plant. Inside, it is worked on by local citizens and is transformed into a finished product worth $4 as it leaves the other side of the plant," he explained. "That $4 to $1 manufacturing creation is the greatest place to get wealth today. Once the money is created, it goes into the local economy and circulates four to six times within the county Leak is optimistic that an industrial tax-credit program will be passed by the state legislature this year which will give a $200 tax credit to an industry for each new job it Good afternoon.

A lack of communication within the county is the greatest barrier to getting the critical mass moving as an economic generator, Leak cautioned, but added he did not see it as a particular problem in McCormick. "What you need and are getting is a spotlight on economic demand," he said.

He warned citizens that the job of attracting new industry and further development into the county was not the job of the State Development Board but remained in the hands of the people. "The board represents the county in that it has the capability of recommending, but it does not have the responsibility to sell," he continued "We can Poland a fence gate at the business and stole a white compact pickup from the parking lot. The truck, along with a mobile radio in it, were valued at $2,300. A Long Street man was advised by police Tuesday that it is against the law to discharge a firearm in the city limits.

Gerald Wayne Sessions, killed in a car train accident on March 13, has been scheduled for 4:30 pm Thursday in the magistrate's courtroom at the Greenwood County Courthouse, according to Duvall. An inquest Tuesday into the shooting death of Russell L. Reed, 30, who was shot and killed March 13 near a cafe in the Cokesbury Road area, resulted in a recommendation of grand jury action, according to Greenwood County Coroner Odell Duvall. Duvall said the coroner's jury recommended grand jury action in the case after deliberations on the evidence presented to them. Harry Junior Minyard has been budget cuts and seeking ways to reduce spending and hold down the federal deficit.

Sources said the Democrats agreed Tuesday to seek more money than the administration wants for some social programs in the areas of education, health and assistance for low-income families in buying fuel. Cranston, however, said no specific figures were discussed. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, said Tuesday the Democrats informally rejected a portion of the Senate Budget Committee plan that calls for private financing of the nation's Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

The Reagan administi ation also has rejected the plan, although it could reduce spending by more than $3 billion. Under the private financing plan, major oil importers would pump 125 million barrels a year into the stockpile, which is intended for use during national emergencies. Instead of buying oil directly, the government would repay the companies at the rate of 10 percent a year for 11 vears. If the private financing plan is rejected by the full Senate, Kennedy said, other cuts would have to be found to make up the (Continued from page 1 budgetutting package. The Congressional Budget Office forecast reinforces its preliminary projection last week that the federal deficit will be at least $115 billion more than the Reagan administration figures over the next four years.

According to the report. Reagan's economic plan will push deficits up almost $8 billion more than the administration predicts for this year, $22 billion more in 1982, $36 billion in 1983 and about $49 billion more in 1984, the year Reagan has promised a small surplus in government spending. The budget office predicts higher inflation and unemployment and less economic growth than the administration forecasts for 1981-1984 The report said its conclusions were based on "historical experience." But it noted: "Estimates of the economy, even without major policy changes, cannot be projected with a high degree of reliability, and the effects of the policy changes are subject to even more uncertainty." The administration says Reagan's prop osed budget cuts, tax reductions and regulatory reform would lower inflation, interest rates and stimulate economic growth more rapidly than most economists believe possible. The congressional report said that "on the basis of historical experience, the economic scenario is optimistic, but certainly not impossible." Nevertheless, it predicted, spending will be pushed higher than administration estimates by increases needed for benefits tied to inflation, unemployment and interest rates. The report also said defense costs and prices for oil purchased by the government would be higher than the Reagan forecast.

The administration predicts inflation will drop to 5 5 percent by 1984, compared with 8.2 percent forecast by the budget office When preliminary findings from the buaget office were released last week. Reagan labeled them "phony." then amended his remarks to say the forecasts did not take into account the effects the administration predicts.

Sources told The Associated Press that Hayes, a pulpwood worker, had been staying in a one-bedroom apartment across the street from the hanging tree. Police said the Edgars were traced to an apartment several blocks away where authorities believe the beating may have taken place. Donald's identification papers were found in that vicinity.

The nation's weather By The Associated Press While most of the nation was enjoying fair skies, widely scattered showers and thundershow-ers stretched over the Mississippi Valley and the northern Rockies and Pacific Northwest. Thunderstorms were reported early today from the Texas Panhandle to western Missouri, and snow showers reached from Lake Erie to western Pennsylvania. Temperatures around the nation at 2 a.m. EST ranged from 20 in Marquette, to 72 in Blythe, Calif. on charges of murdering a black youth who was strangled and then hanged from a tree on a residential street in Mobile last weekend.

Public Safety Commissioner Robert Doyle announced. The three were identified as Ralph Hayes, and two brothers. Jimmy Edgar and Johnny Edgar, all of rural Mobile County. Doyle said they were charged in the death of 19-year-old Michael A. Donald of Mobile, who had disappeared Friday night after leaving his aunt's home in a black housing project to buy a pack of cigarettes.

His body was discovered Saturday morning hanging in a tree on a racially mixed residential street. Capt. Sam McLarty, chief of detectives, had immediately enlisted FBI and state assistance in the slaying. State toxicologist LeRoy Rid dick told police that Donald was killed before his body was hanged. Donald also had been severely beaten.

Doyle declined to release further details of the arrests, saying to do so would jeopardize WASHINGTON (AP) Reporters in Washington think the capital's huge press corps is isolated and ignorant of how the government affects people's lives, accord ing to a political scientist who studied how the city's journalists work. Stephen Hess, a Brookings Institution researcher who served in the White House in the Eisenhower and Nixon administrations, says four reporters in five worry about being out of touch with the country while working in Washington. To find out about the role of the press in making democracy work, Hess questioned 38 percent of the 1 ,200 newspaper, wire ser vice, magazine, radio and television reporters who work here. He also took a look at their product the 1 .878 stories they wrote and 132 they telecast during one week in April 1978. His results are published in a Brookings book, "The Washington Reporters." Half the reporters who answered a question on their own politics told Hess they felt the press is unbiased; half thought the press has a liberal bias.

Forty-two percent classified themselves as liberal, but Hess found that most reporters tended to be skeptical of whomever held power. Hess said the typical Washington reporter is a white male from the Northeast who went to an elitist college. He differs from most Americans because he works in a company town whose products are politics and news. "The reporters' Washington is not a city of dentists, insurance agents. Rotary and Little League." Hess says "The world of Washington reporters is inhabited by legislators and their staffs, political executives, bureaucrats, diplomats, lobbyists and, above all, by other reporters."
