The warning came in a letter to Sen. Jesse Helms, from Frederick S. Upton, assistant director for legislative affairs at the Office of Management and Budget. Senior administration officials "will recommend that the president disapprove any legislation containing value-added or other broad-base Upton said.

The warning, which Upton described in a telephone interview as "standard Average Metro Pay Increases to $19,000 WASHINGTON (AP) Average annual pay in the nation's metropolitan areas rose to $19,028 last year, a 4.7. percent increase from 1983, the Labor Department reported Tuesday. Average pay last year for all of the United States was $18,350, said the department's Bureau of Labor Statistics. Anchorage, Alaska, a high cost-ofliving area, had the highest average annual pay, $27,994. The auto-manufacturing center of Flint, had the second-highest annual pay level, $25,161.

SAWYER, George Franklin, III, a resident of 116 Eton Road, Montgomery, AL, and of Montgomery, AL, for years, died Monday, September 16, veto-threat language," was the strongest and most direct made publicly by the administration since consideration of Superfund renewal began early this year. Congress is facing a midnight Sept. 30 deadline to pass a new Superfund law, extend the current $1.6 billion program or see a temporary drying-up of revenues for toxic cleanups around the nation. A $10 billion House version of the legislation is awaiting action by seveal committees, including Ways and Means, which will write the tax proposals on that side of Congress.

Leaders on both sides say they do not think a new law can be enacted by Oct. 1 Upton's letter also said the administration "strongly opposes" the $7.5 billion, five-year cleanup program in the Senate bill. Instead, he said, Congress should approve the administration's $5.3 billion plan. Upton called for further changes in the Senate bill to delete a pilot program to provide $30 million a year in aid to toxic dump victims and to add administration language that would restrict the number of sites at which Superfund money could be spent. He also said the administration wants the bill stripped of language that would allow citizens to sue the Environmental Protection Agency for failing to perform any non-discre- tionary duty in its cleanup efforts.

The veto threat was directed only at the bill's main revenue source a new value-added tax on large manufacturers that the Senate Finance Committee estimates will raise some $5.4 billion during Superfund's second five years. Although business groups and some lawmakers including Senate Majority Leader Robert Dole, are opposing the value-added levy, a type of national sales tax, no one has come forward with an alternative for financing a Superfund above $5.3 billion. Dole has warned that while a valueadded tax may start out as a way of paying for dump cleanups, there "is no guarantee it will stay that way. The entire income tax system started out with similar limitations, and that did nothing to stop its expansion." For its plan, the administration proposed continuing the current feedstock tax on petroleum and basic petrochemicals and creating a new waste-end levy on the handling and disposal of toxic waste. "There will be a big fight over financing of Superfund," Dole said shortly before the debate began and proponents of a vastly increased Superfund took the floor for two hours of preliminary discussion.

A principal Democratic backer of the Senate bill, Sen. Lloyd Bentsen of' Texas, told colleagues that the valueadded levy is "a fair and simple tax" in line with the basic Superfund philosophy that polluters should pay for cleaning up toxic chemicals. He said that paying for cleanups from general revenues would be "impossible and irresponsible" and that increasing the current levy on petroleum and basic petrochemicals would be "inequitable and unwise." Bentsen, echoing arguments made earlier this year by the Finance Committee, said a waste-end tax on toxics brought to dumps would be inadequate for raising enough money. Meese Condemns Quotas As Racially Discriminatory WASHINGTON (AP) Attorney General Edwin Meese III on Tuesday likened supporters of mandatory, raceconscious hiring quotas to an earlier generation of Americans who argued that "slavery was good not only for slaves but for society." Meese main8 14th cation tained of that and the ratifi- 13th, 15th amendments by the Congress following the Civil War meant that the Constitution "was now officially colorblind." In a speech delivered to students and faculty at Dickinson College in Carlisle, Meese noted that the Supreme Court subsequently, in Plessy vs. Ferguson in 1896, held that separate treatment of blacks subjected to Louisiana's Jim Crow Car Act did not violate their 14th Amendment guarantee of equal treatment of the laws.

McKenzie's Funeral Home Staff act required blacks to ride in segregated sections in the rear of train cars. He said that decision sanctioned the concept of separate-but-equal until the Supreme Court's landmark school integration decision in 1954. Now, Meese said, "we must also understand that a metamorphosis has taken place in the way some would have us understand the legal and constitutional demands of equal protection." "Once again, there are those who argue that equal protection permits the different races to be treated separately. For all intents and purposes, a new version of the separate-but-equal doctrine is being pushed upon us," he said. The attorney general said "there are who argue that affirmative action must mean race -conscious, preferential treatment.

We in the Reagan administration reject that notion unequivocably." Meese said in his speech that "any policy of affirmative action that prefers one person over another because of race, gender or national origin, is unfair Meese Special Singing -AP wirephoto Singer Larry Gatlin sings at the White House Country Music Week, joined others with disTuesday with Jason Ellsworth, 9, of East Wind- abilities at the White House to share their sor, who is blind and has cerebral palsy. talents.
