T urnipseed By Ronda Templeton Assistant News Editor Sen. Tom Turnipseed saichhis goals coincide with the aims of American youth and the votes of USC students will help him defeat incumbent Congressman Floyd Spence in the 1980 elections. Turnipseed, D-Lexington, said he will announce his candidacy for U.S. Congress near the deadline date of April 30. llirnipseea ran unsuccessiuny ior attorney general anu governor before winning his legislative seat. THE PRIMARY platform in his bid for Congress will be to halt nuclear dumping in South Carolina, Turnipseed said. "People are just sick of nuclear dumping and want leadership that will stand up and stop it," he said. Turnipseed said his race would deal largely with government manipulation of "multi-national" companies that he feels are responsible for inflation. "I want to start by matching the voting records of congressmen and senators with the corporate contributions they receive," he said. BIG COMPANIES and banks raise taxes and the inflation rate, Turnipseed said. Banks are also responsible for the growth of the nuclear industry, he said, because they lend a Oil 117L:i.?

"The United States is selling arms to small countries with hard feelings like Egypt and Israel. This is insane. And the probability of thermonuclear war increases every day," he said. The greatest threat to the American public is large corDorations that make money off the threat of war, Tur nipseed said. Large businesses are funding the campaigns of candidates that frighten the public with "saber rattling," he said. Turnipseed said he wants to make the public aware that racism and fighting over resources will cause the end of the world. "Everybody wants to survive, and the arms race is 11- ?i 1 4_*i : 1 ...nnu ?? ..; A me greaiesi uireui iu mtr survival ui mc >vm iu, nc smu. IF ALL the nuclear devices in the world were activated, "it would be all over," Turnipseed said. "The ultimate answer to the situation today would be to have every family own its own nuclear device and go about their business. It's ridiculous," he said. Turnipseed said he would show the nation through his campaign that "Exxon runs America." He said his campaign would rely heavily on the USC student body because most of the decisions being made in Washington affect Whitman candidacy.

Young people have a right to be concerned about threats of draft registration, he added. A spokesman for Spence said the Congressman is not concerned about Turnipseed's proposed candidacy. "His (Spence's) only comment was that he is surprised Turnipseed said he would run because in the past he has indicated that he would not seek congressional office," Spence's administrative assistant, W. A. Cook, said. Donald L. Fowler, chairman of the S.C. Democratic Party, said, "It (a Spence-Turnipseed campaign) would be ^ -? ?? m ?

TURNIPSEED'S much publicized involvement in South Carolina Electric and Gas rate hearings will "probably help his campaign in the long run," Fowler said. The people Turnipseed attacked in the hearings, including Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Marion Gressette, "are resourceful people who could hurt him in a campaign." But the public's familiarity with Turnipseed's activities will ultimately give him an advantage in the race, he said. _ _____________________ The GAMECOCK is the student , i - , newspaper of the University of South and Brookland Cayce Carolina and is published three times a 1 ~ 1 1..
