WASHINGTON (AP) - President Jimmy Carter promised yesterday to push for substantial tax reductions next year and said he might delay sending complicated tax reforms to Congress for fear that they might tie up the tax cuts.

ONE WHITE HOUSE source said that the tax-cut total could go higher than $2 billion but that he would be surprised if it went over $3 billion. The White House official said no decision on the size or timing of the tax reductions had been made.

Sadat vows to finish peace effort
The Soviet Union formally told Egypt it would not go to Cario to discuss Middle East peace, and Egypt replied that the Soviets were wasting an opportunity for peace.
Egyptian President Anwar Sadat yesterday lashed back at Arab critics of his peace initiative and vowed, "I will finish what I started." Meanwhile, the Palestine labor movement Organization (PLO) appealed to Egyptian army to stop Sadat's "constitution" arms.
Israel said it would not attend a separate U.N. peace conference, but diplomatic sources said the Jewish state would halt Israel's expansion to Arab lands to help the cause of peace.
And in Washington, President Jimmy Carter said Sadat for a "historic breakthrough" in the quest for Middle East peace and said the United States would
move to the sidelines now that the two main bellergers were negotiating face to face.
SADAT SAID in a speech in the Suez
court to the very end "I will carry my
carry calling to the very end."
"It would have been easier for me to stay in my place, talking and attempting to outbid (other Arab leaders) and leave the problem to my successor," Sadat said.
Defending his trip to Jerusalem, Sadat
wrote that the responsibility because I felt
the weight of the responsibility.
"BUT I felt that God will summon me to account if I did not work to spare future generations the ferocity of war," he said. "And I feel that God should do to my best for the sake of this country."
During his recent trip to Israel, Sadat offered the prayers of the Moslem Al Adha, a feast of sacrifice, at Al Aqsa Mosque, Islam's third highest shrine, in Jerusalem.
IN DAMASCUS, ARABS opposed to Sadat's initiative and direct talks with Israel held a strategy session for their own summit in Tripoli, Libya, but two rival Palestinian groups squabbled over their anti-Sadat stand.
The hard-line Palestinian Rejection Front—so-called because it rejects any negotiations of any kind with Israel—will meet headed by Chairman Yasser Arbel.
The PLO issued a statement at the conclusion of a meeting of its Central Council calling on all Arabs to oppose Sadat's initiative.
The PLO statement called on "the Egyptian army and people to reject conspiracies aimed at taking Egypt out of the Arab-Zionist struggle."
In Cairo, Soviet ambassador Valdimir Polakov personally delivered to acting
Foreign Minister Butros Ghali the formal Soviet rejection of an invitation by Sadat to attend preatory talks in the Egyptian capital.
Ghali told the Soviet ambassador: "We are very sorry the Soviets are wasting this opportunity to take part in steps leading to a peace settlement.
"If you are in favor of the Geneva conference, how can you refuse to take part in a conference summoned to make requests for Geneva?" Ghali reportedly asked Polkovny.
The Soviet rejection left Israel and the United States as the only countries specifically invited prepared to attend the Cairo conference.
HOWEVER, ROMANIA indicated it would send a special envoy to attend the Cairo talks—the first Communist nation to join the guest list.
Nurse testifies Sandstrom talked of suicide
TOPEKA (AP) -Mida Sandstrom asked a nurse when she was hospitalized on day her husband was shot to death whether he bulldoed his bullet wound, the nurse testified yesterday.
When the emergency room nurse, Dorothy Gill, asked her who would have shot her, Sandstrom was quoted as replying, "I would have."
Another witness, Paul A. Winders, said Mrs. Sandstrom had begged him and her attorney at the hospital to get her a gun or knife, apparently she could attempt suicide.
Gill's testimony came on the third day a jury had heard witness in the first-degree murder trial of Sandstrom, 54, in the 1980s when he was shot by Sandstrom. Toeka broadcast executive.
The state is attempting to prove that Mrs. Sandstrom shot her husband to death a few
hours after he filled for divorce, and planned to take her own life at the same time but fell asleep before she could turn the pistol on herself.
SHE WAS found unconscious beside his body when Winders, a close personal friend and business associate of Sandstrom, arrived at the murder scene after she called for him. She was hospitalized for two days after the shooting.
Gill testified that when Winders visited Sandstrom in the emergency room about an hour and a half after the shooting at the estranged couple's home, she looked at Winders and asked, "Where's the gun? "She replied, "They don't keep guns at the house."
saying she purchased a gun in Oklahoma.
She also quoted Mrs. Sandstrom as saying,
"It's a real tragedy. I meant to take the both of us."
Winders had testified Tuesday that Mrs. Sandstrom regained consciousness as she was being taken from the Sandstrom home until she went to sleep before I could pull the truizer."
The nurse quoted the defendant as then
Dr. W. W. Scamman, Shawnee County coroner, also testified yesterday.
HE SAID one of the two shots from a 32-caliber pistol fired into the back of Sandstrom's head damaged his brain stem and caused Sandstrom's death. The other shot killed him, were killed him, Scamman said, but he could not determine which shot was fired first.
However, Amtrak President Paul Reistrup said in an interview after the vote that the corporation still would be about $25 million short for this fiscal year.
WASHINGTON (UP1) - The House voted 256-141 yesterday to give Amtrak an extra $18 million, apparently halting abandonment of Chicago-Florida passenger train service and maintaining all other routes at least through March 1.
He said the train would be rescheduled as soon as possible, and would be rerouted through Chattanooga and Atlanta, rather thaningham and Montgomery,in Jamestown.
Resistrup said he would have to know the bill's exact language before deciding whether to recommend keeping the "Floridaian" running beyond its Jan. 19 deadline or not, because the law was likely to remain in service even if the bill did not specifically order it.
"I don't know where it's coming from," he said.
"I THINK this shows wide support for Amtrak." he said.
He also said he felt the corporation had only about a 40 per cent chance of getting it.
The Anurak issue was one of several controversial provisions in a $7.6 billion measure, which included language to ban spending $463 million to build two BI centers in California and to reopen River, Tenn., nuclear breeder仓库 opposed by President Jimmy Carter.

"The House never got to those items before the vote on Amtrak sent the measure back to a House-Senate conference, and the vote it could return to the floor would be today.

Sandstorm was dead when he arrived at the home, Scamman said.
He estimated that the two shoes had been tired from a range of no greater than two feet.
But he said he thought now that Carter recognized that it would not be possible to do this.

not think Carter had given up trying to achieve comprehensive tax reform as a long term goal.
The coroner recovered both slugs, plus some pieces of the fatal slug which broke away as it traveled through the head. Sandstrom sobbed quietly as Scamman described the wounds to her late husband's head.
Carter also said that he had not made up his mind whether to reappoint 73-year-old Arthur Burns when his term as chairman of Federal Reserve Board expires on Jan. 31.
He said those decisions were likely to come in the next two weeks.
For a long time now, Advent Products have been a standard of reference, by which other products are evaluated. It is obviously the product to beat. But what many people don't realize is that Advent products because they are well engineered. Not because of some gimmick or other.
So the next time you see Advent speakers, or the tape deck or the receiver on a dealer's shelf, find out if it is really a dealer—because if he isn't (chances are not) you haven't heard the Advents properly. And then up buying a lesser quality price of gear, palmed off as the real thing.
Carter said in a nationally televised news conference that he saw the possibility of a new program in place.
A big thank you from the folks at Ray Audio—the only Advent dealer in the area.

"In 1978 there will be a substantial tax reduction," he said. "And combined with that will be an adequate proposal for a tax reform.
But when it was suggested the business community might be upset if Burses were not reappointed, Carter said, "I don't think anybody is indispensable, whether it is the President, the chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, or anyone else."

In other matters, Carter said he would send Assistant Secretary of State Alfred L. Atherton to the peace conference in Cairo called by European President Amar Sadat.
Carter said tax increases will be necessary this year "to restore the integrity of the Social Security system and to carry out a comprehensive energy policy."
But he said he hoped that those changes in the law that brought about any tax increases would be balanced.
"Some of the more controversial items on tax reform that have been proposed to me—they would be very time-consuming and have very little monetary significance—might be delayed until later on because I believe there is a lack of effectiveness of substantial tax reform."

Carter said he would not retreat from his major legislative proposals and might veto any forthcoming energy bill that does not measure up to his standards.
