Newsmakers Stay calm, S.C. brokers tell investors Investment brokers across South Carolina are advising clients to stay calm as Wall Street reels from the worst stock market nlunee in hkmrv but many brokers said they expected the market to get worse before it gets better. Brokers reported they were flooded Monday with calls from worried clients, many of whom wanted to unload their investments and others who wanted to buy. The mood became edgier when some investors could not get through on the telephone. Most brokers said they expected the collapse to continue today and were poised for another hectic day, but they didn't think the selling panic would .iigiiai a icccskhjii iigni away. "I think we're still in a bull market, but this is going to be a bad decline," Newell said Monday. "It's self-feeding. The devastation could continue." President's budget office makes cuts WASHINGTON ? Congress and President Ronald Reagan have yet to agree on how to reduce the federal deficit, so the president's budget office was forced to begin slashing $23 billion today under the Gramm-RudmanHollings law. From AIDS research to law enforcement to military readiness, government programs will lose about 10 percent of theii anr al budgets. The cuts are temporaiy for now as the law gives the politicians a month to figure out ways of reducing the fiscal '88 deficit. But if they fail to agree I on adequate reductions in the red ink. the cuthacks hernmp rv?rman#?n? Half the $23 billion total must come from domestic programs and half from the Pentagon, although within those broad categories specific areas were exempted. No cuts will come from huge areas of the budget including Social Security, welfare and veterans benefits and the military payroll. Fair more auiet without heer sales The S.C. State Fair has been rather quiet since beer was banned, a Richland County Sheriff's Department spokesman said. This is the third year the fair has been dry, and it's a much better place without the brew, said investigator Steve Felsberg. "It's more family oriented now," Felsberg said. "When they sold beer, there were very few families out here after 7 o'clock. People would just line up to see how much beer they could drink. We couldn't arrest all the drunks." Of course, the fair still has a few heavy drinkers, Felsberg said. As of 2:30 p.m. Sunday, nine arrests had been made on charges of drunk and disorderly conduct and five more for possession of narcotics. But arrests are down by about 70 percent from the days when beer flowed. 'Dirty' ad gets copywriter in trouble MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. ? An advertising man who gave Milledgeville a dirty name has come clean and said he made up the muddy references. Stan Tymorek wrote a national ad that proclaimed, "Neither ketchup from Khartoum nnr ink frnm InntKmcL nnr ... ~ - ..... . .

The Chicago copywriter for the Lands End Catalog Co. arrived Monday and faced local officials who said his ad gave the city a black eye. State Sen. Culver Kidd of Milledgeville said, "After 1 heard about the dastardly act done to the name of our city, 1 went and got my gun." Tymorek said he used the city name only because it began with the letter "M" and sounded good. | Soph \ with H N ^ CAROLINA PROGRAM UNION ; Our latest lineun of J j] events H innli trie* / ot www w ? vi w v/ r I /$.
