On the fourth full day of the search, the FAA acknowl edged il was asked in a phane call from an mtem a1 the Manha 's Vineyard airport to help locate the plane Friday night. The caller, 21-year-old Adam Budd, expressed no great urgency as he telephoned an FAA slation in Bridgepon, Omn., at 10.05 p.m Friday, FAA officials saip. He said he called at the request of an umdentified couple who had come to the airpon to tneet Lauren Bessette. Kennedy and his wife had planned to drop ,her off on their way to Hy311nis Port, M~.• for his cousin's wooding. . · Budd asked if the agency could track the airplane, but the person at the FAA station questioned him about who he was and finally said: "We don't give this informatton out to people over the phone." Budd gave up, saying, "It's not a big deal." The plane had gone down about 9:40p.m. Nothing was done until a much more urgent call was made to the Coast Guard at 2:15a.m. by a Kennedy family friend.

There is no question but that such lottenes produce enormous re,venues for the states-- hundreds of btllions of dollars, ostentallously "earmarke~" for educatton or other worthy causes. But the truth, of course, is tllat thts largely replaces money the states would otherwise have to find elsewhere and spend on education It is the overall exchequer of the state government that really benefits Focus on the Family and otller organizations on the rehgtous nght are crusading agamst such legahzed gambhng, argutng that states have no busmess encouraging people to squander their money on wagers when the hope of winning is so pittfully small. Moreover, they pmnt to tlle fact that an eshmated 15 million Americans are "compulstve gamblers" -- tlle equivalent of alcoholics -- who are unable to resist spending the rent money on thetr habit. . Th(:se are serious criticisms, and deserve a thoughtful response. Before dealing with them, however, let i1s note the frequent complamt that legalized gambling .amounts to a htghly regressive tax, · since people with low incomes probably participate in state lotteries m htgher proporhons than wealthier cttizens do. Thts · is undoubtedly true, but IS it necesC\J~ sarily a bad thmg? A person who pays very little m mcome taxes, or nothmg at all, contributes to the revenues of his state when he buys a lottery , ticket. What's more, he contnbutes (unless he IS one of the compulstves) only what he deems he can afford to part wath That is a far better deal than the state offers those who earn enough to get on ats radar screen as taxpayers But now. what about those compulsive gamblers? Gambling's critICS unquestiOnably can pomt to a great deal of anecdotal evtdence of how an uncontrollable compulsion to gamble has destroyed Iives -not only ' tJ!e gambler's, but often those of famtly members as well .

The Reagan White House devised the description "revenue enhancement")o avmd calling an increase an mcrease, the president having said he would veto any , bill to raise taxes. Enhancing them was OK. , Now Chnton is saymg he will veto tax cuts in the range of those Republicans are pushing, saymg they would cost money that should go mto Scc~al Security, Medicare and spending on such programs as defell,Se and education.

"I think what he wants is typtcal of Democrats,'' Loll satd on Fox TV Sunday. "They want to keep it in Washington and spend it. ... That's the way they always are." And that's the way the argument always g<'les, like a broken record. That may be w~y the tax cut tssue doesn't seem to be stirnng the people both sides are trying to convince. The polls indicate lllal most Americans think they are overtaxed, but that few put tax cuts near the top of their Washington wish list. Eventually, Clinton and the Republicans are gomg to have to settle on a budget, and that means -deah ng with taxes. The deadline is Oct. I, although stopgap measures can delay that. So there's ample time to argue. The word from the White House is that Ointon isn't interested in a deal to spht the dafference between his tax cut and the Republicans' plan. Nor is Lou. "Nope," he said to that tdea. "Now if he wants to get serious, JOin with us, great," Loll saad. "But I think maybe some of the demagoguery needs to be toned down."
