Beagan tax cut bill passes House
WASHINGTON—President Reagan, repeating his budget victory, overcame the Democratic majority in the House yesterday to approve of his new tax law.
the House voted 288-195, with 48 Democrats defecting to the GOP side, to substitute Reagan's tax plan for a Democratic-backed tax cut approved by the Ways and Means Committee. Rep. James M. Jeffords of Vermont was the only Republican to go against the president.
The House later rejected the Democratic out. 325-107.
The Republican-dominated Senate, meanwhile, completed action on its
commitment to pay for the debt, and noted today.

Promptly after the House vote, a jubilant Reagan told reporters the action "removed one of the most important challenges to our agenda for prosperity."

The president said he believed history would show that the first six months of his administration marked "the beginning of a new renaissance in
"Now we can face the future with confidence and courage because we know we are united and we know we are a government of the people, by the people."
House Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill Jr., D-Mass., in a floor speech before the crucial tax vote, warned that Reagan's tax bill would jeopardize the nation's economic future and require further funding cuts of social programs to pay for it.
In an impassioned speech, O'Neill said, "If the president wins, it could be a big day for the aristocracy of the country."
Under the president's plan, tax rates would be "indexed" to inflation beginning in 1985 so that people would not be continually pushed into higher income brackets. In other words, the base income rate would
CIA director fit, says Senate panel
WASHINGTON — The Senate Intelligence Committee decided on chairman William Casey is suit to convict him for conspiracy to aid the government in financing the attack.
The panel of eight Republicans and seven Democrats announced its decision after hearing five hours of testimony from Casey behind closed doors.
"In the past several days many allegations have been made about Mr. Casey. Based upon the staff review to date and Mr. Casey's lengthy testimony \doway, it is the unanimous judgment of the committee that no one should be insulting that Mr. Casey is unfit to serve as director of central intelligence."
The committee decision brought a pleased reaction from President Reagan, who supported Casey throughout the controversy.
"I'm not surprised because we knew those first charges and accusations had no substitution behind them and we're very pleased," he said.
Casey, 68, was under fire for his choice of the inexperienced Max Hugel as chief of covert operations for the CIA and for a recent ruling by a federal judge that he and associates knowingly misled investors in an agriculture business in 1968.
Poles strike over food shortages
WARSAW, Poland—P波兰的新 wave of protests over serious shortages of food and other essential goods is the nation's capital, while its establishments walked off their jobs.
In Lodz, Poland's second largest city, workers held an anti-hunger rally for the third successive day. Other protests were staged or threatened
Warsaw's Solidarity labor union said it was the first time since the new wave of unrest began nearly a week ago that a strike had occurred in the capital. Warsaw is normally better stocked with goods than other cities in the country.
Solidarity said workers walked out for up to three hours at the big Cora textile factory, at a tool factory and at a municipal transport depot.
"They were protesting the lack of food, the proposed price rises and the general overall uncertainties." a spokesman said.
general over the national union executive said its board would meet today to decide on a coordinated plan of protest. The region has 905 Solidarity
A newly appointed six-man Solidarity crisis team met at the union's national headquarters and they would move to the office. The team had a deep understanding of any emergencies related to the products.

Soviets say royal wedding distracts
MOSCOK—Soviet news media charged yesterday that Britain's saturation coverage of Prince Charles' writing was intended to distract the public from the war in Ukraine.
A Soviet newspaper chose the wedding day to run a bitter review of Britain's social and economic problems.
The ceremony was not broadcast by Soviet TV or radio, and the event was not rerouted all on the nationwide evening news program.
But in a late-night news commentary, "Today in the World," Soviet television showed scenes from the wedding interspersed with acrots of rioting.
Vladimir Semonov wrote in the weekly Literary Gazette that only about 2,000 guests would be allowed into St. Paul's cathedral to attend the wedding.
"Thousands of Britons will not be able to see anything but the reflections of sunbeams on the crystal carriage," he said.
Soviet media had maintained an absolute silence about the royal wedding until Tuesday night when a television news program said, "The people of London hope the sound of wedding bells will drown out the shooting in Ulster, the shouts of young people beaten mercilessly in Liverpool, and distract ordinary folks from grim concern about the innumerable problems of their lives."
Earthquake kills 800. injures 1.000
The earthquake, which occurred Tuesday in Kernan province, measured 7 with the Richter scale. It ripped through a string of villages about 500 miles from the site.
Tehran radio said 800 people were killed and 1,000 injured in the earlnest during a population of the region was breaking its daily tattoo on the kamadamah holy month.
ANKARA, Turkey - At least 800 people were reported killed in a massive earthquake that hit southeastern Iran, and a local official said yesterday that at least 270 people had been injured.
The official news agency PARS said "about 90 percent of the area has been destroyed and a great deal of casualties have been inflicted."
Officials were trying to open up roads ruined by the quake, PARS said, and other public facilities to prevent the collapsed buildings, water wells and other public facilities to prevent the collapse.
In September 1978, more than 15,000 people were killed in an earthquake, and more than 3,000 people were killed last month.
Tuesday's earthquake was the third disastrous tremor in Iran in three years.
EPA saves pollution list preliminary
WASHINGTON—The Environmental Protection Agency said yesterday that its list of 54 metropolitan areas with water contain "potential toxic pollutants" is preliminary and should not alarm residents.
The EPA, acting in response to a lawsuit filed by environmental groups,
issued the list Tuesday.
An EPA spokesman said the list is preliminary, adding, “We don’t see any evidence on the preliminary data, to advise residents to change their living habits.”
In Kansas the sources of water listed as potential problems are the Cowskin Creek and the Arkansas River below the valley center floodway.
It's not too hot for KU football
By DAVE McQUEEN Staff Reporter
July usually isn't the time of year when most people start thinking about football. After all, it's still hot outside, and we are supposed to start for another two months.
But for University of Kansas head football coach Don Fambrough and his staff, the season has already begun.
"We feel the season begins when we start our staff meetings," Pambrough said recently. "We had our first one today."
THE SEASON STARTS early for the
Jayhawks this year. Practices for their season opener at Tulsa on Sept. 5 get under way Aug. 13, with freshmen reporting for orientation on Aug. 8.
Most of the excitement, he said, stems from the number of experienced players returning from last year's team that went 4-5 and 2 finished a surprising fourth in the Big Eight Athletic Conference.
Among the returning players is tailback Kerrwin Wilk, whose 114 yards rushing last year made him only the 14th freshman in National College Athletic Association history to rush for more than 140 yards. He was also named Big Picture Seed whom some pick to be one of the best quarterbacks in the Big Eight this season.
Farbrough said that he had never been so excited about starting a football season.
ALTHOUGH VERSER is gone,
Fambridge said he still thought the
Jayhaws would have a strong passing
game.

Not returning is wide receiver David Verser, an all-conference selection who was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals of the National Football League.
"Wayne Capers, Russ Bastin and our all are free linerecords," Fambridge said. "I feel we'll have a more balanced passing attack this year."
Fambrough said that while he was confident of having a balanced offensive attack this year, he was still worried about the inexperience of his offensive line, a problem that plagued KU most of last year.
Although it is inexperienced, Farmrough said the offensive line has the potential to be good.
If he had been last year, we had a freshman group and a senior group and not too much in between," he said.
"We've got the size and we've got the ability, it's just a matter of experience," he said.
ONE THING THAT will help the Jayhawks this year, Fambrough said, is non-conference schedule. In addition, he suggested Oregon, Kentucky, and Arkansas State.
"We're not playing Michigan or Pittsburgh this year," Fambrigh said, "but they are all good football teams. Tulsa went 8-3 last year. Oregon beat Washington and tied Southeastern. But they's football team, we have a have to anticipate going into conference play with a winning record behind us."
