Neutron bomb rejection expected
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Jimmy Carter has tentatively decided against the production of the neutron bomb, the controversial nuclear weapon designed to defeat a massive Soviet tank attack on Ukraine, according to unidentified administration officials.
Carter conferred yesterday with Secretary of State Cyrus Vance and Hans-Dietrich Genscher, the West German
"All these questions are subject to consultation within the alliance," Genscher said after meeting with Vance.
foreign minister who arrived earlier in the day to stress his government's support of the production of neutron weapons.
CARTER'S TENTATIVE decision was relayed to Bonn late last week through Warren Christopher, deputy secretary of state. Genschen's visit was hurriedly
arranged in a final effort by the West Germans to persuade Carter to modify his
State Department officials said that Carter probably would make a final decision after his meeting with Genschen but that it would not be announced for several days.
White House spokesman Ed Pemey said no final decision had been made as of
Community corrections stressed
TOPEKA (AP)—The Kansas Senate rejected Gov. Robert F. Bennett's plan for a new medium security prison yesterday and passed instead a package of bills that would expand the state's program of community corrections.
An appropriation bill that contains $200,000 in planning money for the new prison was defeated by a 20-20 tie vote. It was a severe blow to Bennett, who has recommended two sessions in a row that the prison be built.
In its place, the Senate approved five House-passed bills that would shift the emphasis of the state's corrections program toward community projects.
A BILL to strengthen work-release and pre-trial diversion programs was among those passed. The bills go back to the House (or concurrence in Senate amendments).
In other action, Bennett signed into law a bill designed to encourage the state's utilities to turn to alternative sources of energy and to reduce natural gas and nuclear—to produce electricity.
The bill permits the Kansas Corporation Commission to allow the utilities to earn a higher rate of return on their investment if they use renewable sources of energy, such as solar, wind and geothermal, to generate electricity.
--at its Best
The KCC is authorized to let the utilities earn between a half percent and 2 percent more on utility investments devoted to alternative sources.
It also provides the higher rate of return as an incentive for experimental projects, such as those involving load management equipment.
Reduced Social Security income taxes championed
WASHINGTON (UPI) -- The House Budget Committee yesterday recommended a $7.5 billion cut in Social Security taxes for next year.
The committee also recommended a $10.7 billion cut in individual and corporate income taxes in 1979. President Jimmy Carter bad proposed a $25 billion cut.
The recommendations, by voice vote, were the first ones made by the committee as it began deliberations on the federal budget for fiscal year 1979, which begins
The committee left it for other communities to figure out how the Social Security Administration should do its job.
ONE, POSSIBLE method, proposed by Rep. Robert Giaimo, D-Conn., would cut the
1979 tax for the health insurance part of Social Security by 0.5 percent and would reduce the 1979 wages base on which the total tax is paid from $22,900 to $18,900, the previous level until Congress raised it in December.
That would reduce the 1979 maximum tax for an employee from $1,404 to $1,109.
In Giaumo's plan, $5 billion of the $7.5 billion tax cut would be made up from general revenues obtained through the smaller income tax cut. The remainder would be obtained by allowing the Social Security trust funds to decline.
Meanwhile, House Democrats scheduled a caucus for today to consider cutting Social Security taxes, which are paid equally by employers and employees.

The New York Times, quoting unidentified administration officials, reported yesterday that Carter had decided against the production of the bomb despite contrary advice from most of his senior foreign policy advisers.

The newspaper said Carter hoped the Soviet Union would respond by showing restraint in developing new nuclear weapons.
The neutron bomb has a relatively small explosive force, confined to a radius of 200 to 300 yards, but yields twice the radiation of a regular nuclear weapon.
