The count was 106,855 against recall and and 23,387 in favor.

DAVIS NEW YORK (UPI) - Presi- dent Reagan, offering another glimpse at tonight's special . address on his controversial Eéntral American policy, warned today the United States cannot ignore 0taxl‘flre that is burning in our front yard.\ \We are not accustomed to worrying about a military threat in our own hemishpere. We have almost taken for granted friendly, independent neighbors,\ Reagan said in remarks prepared for the American Newspaper Publish ers Association. ''But we can no longer ignore the fire that is burning in our own front yard. We must respond both with unity and firmness of purpose. The peoples of this hemisphere are all Americans - and all of us share a vital stake in a future of democracy and freedom,\ Reagan said. ''We have it in our power to act now, to keep the situation manageable and it is in that spirit that I shall speak to the Congress and the nation to- night,\ Reagan told the publi- shers. The president's comments at the end of a brief speech to the newspaper executives gave a preview of the tack he will take tonight in an address to a joint 'dicating session of Congress shuttling back to Washington from New York. His quick trip to New York also was to include a stop at a police precinct and an appear- ance at a Republican reception. The administration views the rare address to the joint session of Congress - something normally reserved for exalted matters such as the State of the Union address - to be a vital step in freshening support for Reagan's criticized policies in Central America. \You will learn some things ... that you haven't learned up to now,\ said Rep. J. Kenneth Robinson, R-Va., the ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, in- Reagan may declassify documents to help make his case. Rep. Edward Boland, D- Mass., said Reagan would argue \how important Central America is to the security of the United States. In a critical advance move, theadministrationassured Con- gress the administration will appoint a special peace envoy to try and organize elections between the government of El Salvador and the leftist rebels fighting it. Reagan was expect- ed to announce the envoy as a PRICE . 25+ centerpiece of his speech, Congress reacted quickly and favorably to the surprise offer from the. White House, with a House committee voting Tues- day to grant Reagan $30 million in additional military aid for El Salvador. Deputy press secre- tary Larry Speakes said the administration still wants the full $60 million originally requested. Secretary of State George Shultz annouriced the envoy in a letter from the State Department, and pledged the envoy would be \a senior U.S. official of ambassadorial rank\ who would \assist the Salvado- rans in their efforts to find a basis for a dialogue with their opponents on the terms and conditions for free, fair ahd safe elections.\ Former Sen. Richard Stone D-Fla., who chaired the sub- canmlttee on Latin American affairs and has been closely aligned with Reagan's policies in the region, is considered a leading candidate for the job. In preparation for his speech to Congress, Reagan met Tuesday with members of the House Intelligence Committee to deal with concerns about rebel operations in Nicaragua that are CIA-supported. Committee Chairman Ed- ward Boland, D-Mass., said his worry about the covert activity has gone beyond the question of legality, He said now he is concerned about both its ineffectiveness and impact on U.S. credibility. Drunk Driving Proposals Attract Much Criticism ALBANY, N.Y. (UPI) -New proposals to hike New York's already stiff penalties against drunken driving are attracting criticism from lawmakers who say some ideas - like \scarlet letter' license plates - are going too far. The Senate, Transportation Committee advanced a number of anti-drunken driving meas- ures to the floor Tuesday, including a bill to sharply increase fines for driving while intoxicated. However, Assembly Trans portation Chairman Vincent Graber said he would block that measure, noting the fines had a major increase in 1981. \I think we went far enough,\ he said.

The top two supervisors for Stimme & Wet 'Several members of Levy's committee contended many of the proposed penalties, includ- ing mandatory jail terms, were too onerous. \I think you're just running around in circles raising the fines,\ said Sen. John Perry, D- Rochester. Sen. Richard Scher- merhorn, R-New Windsor, added, \Possibly we might get intoan overkill situation.\ Doris Aiken, chairwoman of Remove Intoxicated Drivers lobbying group, said none of the bills considered Tuesday would seriously deterdrunkendriving. Instead, she suggested the staterequire mandatory license suspension for anyone who fails a breathalyzer test, hike penalties for anyone who refuses to take a breath test, and raise the drinking age from 19 to 21. In addition to the scarlet letter bill, the committee advanced measures to mandate a one-year license suspension for anyone convicted of driving while intoxicated twice within 10 years, and require a minimum 7-day jail term for anyone caught violating the terms of a suspended or conditional license. Schermerhorncontendedthat imposing jail sentences should not be taken lightly, saying he knew of a case in which a man was raped while jailed over- night. Another bill, sponsored by Levy, would hike the fine for first offenders convicted of DWI from $350 to $500, and from $500 to $1,500 for a second violation. The fine for driving while ability is impaired would rise from $250 to $350 for a first offense and from $350 to $500 for a second offense. However, the committee did not act on another Levy proposal to permit temporary confiscation of the vehicle in DWI cases, and permanent confiscation for a second offense. Levy said he planned to split that plan into two separate bills. Some lawmakers who nor- mally favor anti-drunken driv- ing efforts said they disagreed with the concept altogether. Sen. Frank Padavan, R-Queens, said he feared confiscation of cars would penalize the \wrong people - the victims' famil- Erie County Gives Up On Bethlehem LACKAWANNA, N.Y (UPI) - It would be nearly impossi- ble for anyone to operate the of the 7.3% workers their jobs.
