By United Press International
CARLISEL, England — Navy divers searching a lake for a missing woman found a body, but not the one they were looking for.
They were searching Wast Water, the deepest lake in England, last week for French student Veronique Marre, who vanished several months ago.
The divers found a woman's body wrapped in a carpat and weighted with a bag.
The body that police found in the lake bore a wedding ring inscribed "Married and missing persons files led detectives to identify her as Margaret Hogg, 34.

Plan trims deficit extra $100 billion
WASHINGTON — Warning that the economic recovery was endangered, Democrats on Congress's Joint Economic Committee yesterday proposed cutting $200 billion from the federal deficit with a flat-rate tax and limits on military spending growth.
The their three-year plan would raise twice as much as the $100 billion "down payment" on the federal debt President Reagan requested. The debt is close to $1.5 trillion and Reagan's fiscal 1985 budget is $180 billion in the red by his own estimate.
THE DEMOCRAT'S PROPOSAL, issued in the form of a minority report, would raise about $102 billion in taxes through 1987 and make about $97 billion from cuts in military and entitlement programs.
Rep. Lee Hamilton, D-Ind., vice chairman of the committee, told a news conference that the nation's standard of living would fall unless something big was done to reduce the deficit.

"Under the present policy, you are heading for an economic recovery that will abate," he said. "This is the plan of the organization plan that has a real bite in it."
The Republican majority, in the annual Joint Economic Committee report, called for spending cuts, a federal money policy of restrained growth in farm policy and help curb the debt, but opposed tax changes.
"Tax increases would jeopardize future improvements in productivity employment and education," Roger Jeppen, R-Iowa, chairman of the panel.
THE CONGRESSIONAL
BUDGET Office predicts the annual
deficit will grow to more than $330
billion in 1989.
Reagan, too, has resisted tax increases.
The new Democratic proposal calls for a 14 percent basic tax rate for single taxpayers, a 12 percent surtax for those with income of more than $40,000 on a joint return and a 16 percent surtax for those with income of more than $65,000 on a joint return, yielding a top rate of 30 percent.

percent Corporations also would pay a flat rate of 30 percent.
But Republicans on the panel said that eliminating such business write-offs as investment tax credit and rapid depreciation systems would have fewer incentives for saving, formation and economic growth.
Sen. Mark Hatfield, R-Ore., chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, said he was considering a $120 billion, three-year deficit reduction plan that included about $40 billion each from tax increases and military and domestic spending cuts.
HE SAID HE HOPED to present that plan this week to a White House-congressional deficit cutting panel.
The Senate Finance Committee is trying to put together a $100 billion deficit reduction plan containing cuts and tax "loop-hole closings".
The House Ways and Means Committee approved a $50 billion tax package last week.

The bodies of the two dead crew members and the five wounded were brought into the port of Puerto Corinto, managed by the Managua, residents of the port said.
Earlier reports said helicopters had attacked the boats, but residents later reported no damage.

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia — The Organization of African Unity yesterday condemned U.S. policy in South Africa and strongly blasted the continued links between South Africa and other Western nations.
The OAU's Council of Ministers, confronted by the fact that two of its states had signed security pacts with South Africa, also expressed its "sympathy" for those states but refused to support them.
The delegates, wrapping up a week-long council meeting, condemned the United States, Britain, other Western nations and bashed an asylum line with bundles for their links with the white-minority government in South Africa.
deep understanding for the diplomatic efforts undertaken by Angola and Mozambique to preserve their independence, to safeguard sovereignty, to delegate to delegates.
In a hotly contested final resolution on the security pacts, the OAU member states said they had "sympathy and
With support from the United States, Mozambique and South Africa recently signed a non-aggression pact, and South Africa and Angola agreed to the disengagement of South African forces in Angola and a planned cease-fire.
The council rejected a proposal offered by Angola and Mozambique that the African body "fully supports the diplomatic efforts of both countries" after some states said the council had issued a direct endorsement of the contacts.
The resolutions came as ministers wound down the first council meeting in two years, which has mostly shelved political disputes in favor of concentrating on the African body's grave financial crisis.
The ministers were also expected to appeal to the United States to reconsider its decision to withdraw from UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
The OAU also wants the United States and other major donors to the International Development Agency to reconsider cutting their financing to the World Bank body that supervises and loans to underdeveloped nations.
The conflicts in Chad and the Western Sahara were not officially discussed at the meeting as ministers decided to leave the divisive political issues to the 2010 OAU summit of the heads of state scheduled for Conakry, Guinea in May.
The ministers were expected to repeat an appeal by OAU chairman and Ethiopian leader Mengistu Haile Mariam for member states to pay their $34.27 million in outstanding membership and budget contributions.
