(Continued from page 1) Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers already have split on the proposal, and special interest groups are lining up for and against the idea based on how they see it affecting their favorite projects. Carter acknowledged the plight of farmers fighting for higher prices in remarks inserted into his text. For two days, farmers have clogged roads leading into Washington with their tractors and have picketed the Capitol, the White House and government agencies in their campaigni.to dramatize their demand for higher crop prices to offset spiraling costs of production. He said the farm bill passed last year would "help a great deal" but added that "it's incumbent on us to monitor very carefully the farm situation and continue to work harmoniously with the farmers of our country.

"What's best for the farmers, the farm families in the long run, is best for the consumers of our country." But Carter offered no specific proposals to raise prices paid to farmers and it is too early to tell whether the farmer protests are generating enough support in Congress for early action with or without White House recommendations. Turning to foreign policy, the president appealed for ratification of the Panama Canal treaty, which he described as "important and controversial" but which he said would "discourage the spread of hostile ideologies in this hemisphere, and directly contribute to the economic well-being and security of the United McKinney convicted on 2 of 3 charges MRS.

A Greenwood County General Sessions jury Thursday afternoon found George McKinney guilty of carrying a pistol unlawfully and pointing a firearm. McKinney was acquitted of an assault charge.

All three charges arose from a July 12 incident on the David Nichols property near Hodges. Nichols and his wife Donna testified Wednesday McKinney had pulled a gun on them during an argument. The argument was over McKinney's cows getting out of their fence and trampling A Nichols' garden. Judge James E. Moore of Greenwood sentenced McKinney to one year, suspended on payment of $250 or six months in prison.

Judge Absent convicted Irvin Lee Meredith was tried in his absence and found guilty of driving under the influence, second offense, this morning in Greenwood County court of General Sessions. Former Greenwood police officer Ronnie McAllister testified he arrested Meredith March 3 on East Cambridge Avenue. Breathalyzer operator Palmer Conwell of the sheriff's department said Meredith registered .16 blood alcohol content. A reading of .10 is considered under the influence.

Carter also said that if federal expenditures are held in check, and if the economy responds as planned, he should be able to recommend substantial additional tax reductions in years ahead. reductions will be needed to strengthen consumer purchasing power and expand consumer markets," he said.

Schultze told reporters, however, that the $25 billion in tax cuts proposed for this year is only intended to offset various increases in taxes in 1977 and 1978, such as the higher Social Security tax bite, and that it contains little if any tax reductions beyond that. But even a tax cut of $25 billion is running into some opposition. Rep. Al Ullman, chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, said he favors a tax cut of only abut $15 billion. But Carter said a tax cut of $25 billion is needed to keep the economy growing at an acceptable rate after mid-1978.

Without it, he said, economic growth would fall below 3.5 percent in 1979, and unemploymett could begin rising again. auto THEATRE 2-HITS TONITE 7:50 TONITE 6:40 9:00 THE FIRST NEW You'll ROAR HORROR CREATURE! when she sits down to TALK!

Moore also ordered three years' probation with the special condition McKinney become involved in no further difficulty with the Nichols'. Prior to sentencing, Mr. and Mrs. Nichols requested the defendant not be given jail time or a fine.

This happens every year. The people up there are used to it." Elsewhere, there was snow in the mountains of Colorado and New Mexico and rain showers in Oregon, central California and much of Arizona. The midsection of the nation was dry but cold. Carter said his budget for fiscal year 1979 will provide for a budget deficit of near the $62 billion deficit in the current fiscal year, with about $15 billion to $20 billion resulting from his tax cut program. The president also announced several programs to deal with special unemployment problems.

He said the jobless rates of 17 percent for teen-agers and 40 percent for black teen-agers are intolerable and must be brought down. He requesting $400 million to begin a new program of hiring youths and disadvantaged workers in private industry. Schultze said the measure probably will be accomplished by offering tax incentives, but that details are not yet worked out. Carter also said that the public service employment program will be continued at the level through fiscal. 1979, and, he said, his budget will propose creating 50,000 jobs as part of his welfare reform program.

Recent declines in the value of the U.S. dollar are "not surprising, he said, in view of the nation's trade deficit and the trade surpluses of other countries. "However, we will not permit speculative activities in currency markets to disrupt our economy or those of our trading partners," the president said.

Carter said there would be net tax reductions for individuals of $17 billion. If Congress approves, they would take effect on Oct. 1.

He said individuals would also benefit. from $2 billion in reductions in the federal excise tax on telephone bills and the federal payroll tax for unemployment insurance. There would be an additional $8 billion in tax savings for business, partially offset by about $2 billion in business tax reforms, for a net reduction for business of nearly $6 billion. The corporate tax rate would be reduced from 48 percent currently to 45 percent on Oct. 1 and to 44 percent in 1980.

Carter would make permanent the existing 10 percent investment tax credit, and extend it to investments in industrial and utility structures, as well as to equipment. Businesses would also be allowed to use the investment tax credit to offset up to 90 percent of their federal tax liability, compared with 50 percent currently.
