Donald Duck means fast food in China
By United Press International
PEKING — China is about to open its first Western-style, fast-food restaurant, using Donald Duck to lead the hamburger and French fries revolution.
By yesterday all the Western kitchen equipment and tables and chairs were installed at the restaurant, which was red and filled with 'Fast Food' in English, not Chinese.
"We think we can sell 3,000 hamburgers a day," said Xian Chu Dun.
director of the Peking Food Industry Office.
The trend-setter is expected to in three weeks. It is called Yi Li Fast Food. Yi Li is the name of Peking's food, which will supply the hamburger buns.
HOT DOGS, FRENCH fries, fried chicken, ice cream cones, pancakes and boxes of hot meals will be sold along with hamburgers.
For the non-adventurous, traditional chinese snacks of soybean milk, salted tuna, or shrimp.
sticks will be sold. For those unsure of
the offerings, the pictures
of the offerings, line the walls
Xia, who went to Hong Kong to study the fast food industry, said the restaurants there appealed to children, so Yi Donald Duck as its unofficial logo.
Just how the American cartoon legend was chosen for a city where the Peking Duck has reigned supreme was unclear.
"It could have been Mickey Mouse," Xia said, shrugging.

Senate panel to act on deficit
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — Financial leaders in Congress, unhappy with the inaction of President Reagan's deficit-cutting plan, will take their own debt-reduction plans.
Sen. Robert Dole, R-Kan., chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, plans to outline, on Wednesday, $100 billion worth of tax options to cut the deficit. On Thursday his committee will take up the plan, which is likely to involve many items considered by the Finance Committee last year but never enacted.
POSTPONING ACTION on Finance Committee-proposed items, which ranged from minor tax increases to increases in some patient-paid Medi-Care patients. The last year merely to come up with a deficit-reduction package by Feb. 15.
But that date occurred during congressional recess. Congress returns next week.
"I am hopeful that the committee's effort will at some point dovetail with the bipartisan deficit reduction working group called by the president." Dole said in an announcement of this week's meeting.
"Nevertheless, there appears to be considerable foot-dragging by some of the participants in that budget summit."
The panel on reducing the deficit held one meeting this month but made little
AT THE FIRST meeting, Budget Director David Stockman put forth an administration list that added up to $106 billion in savings or taxes. But most of it came from Reagan's fiscal 1985 budget, which forecasts a $196 billion deficit.
Rep. Jim Wright, D-Texas., asked
the panel to consider "stretching out" military improvement programs over six years rather than five, saying that it would save $100 bill.**
Democrats insist that Reagan come up with a list of military budget cuts as a prerequisite for the panel's next meeting. Reagan, who asked for a 13 percent real increase in defense spending — $305 billion — in his $926 billion fiscal 1985 budget, seems unlikely to comply.
REP. DAN ROSTENKOWSKI, D III., chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, also has a package of reforms ready. His proposals include an $8 billion package that was passed by the panel last year.
That package includes restrictions on the use of tax-free bonds, and curbs on lease-back deals for tax-exempt institutions. It also would restructure the taxing of fringe benefits, life insurance companies and foundations.
Copters crash in El Salvador; 28 die
By United Press International
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador — Two U.S.supplied UHI-H "Huey" helicopters collided yesterday, crashing in flames and killing all 28 Salvadoran soldiers and crewmen aboard, officials said. Rebels claimed the craft were shot down by guerrilla fire.
A Defense Ministry spokesman said the crash, which occurred at 7 a.m.
yesterday near the fiercely contested village of Nuevo Eden, 80 miles northwest of San Salvador, was not caused by hostile action.
HOWEVER, LEFTIST rebels are in a broadcast on their clandestine Radio Vencemos悔 quarrillas of the 1st Alicia Letona Battalion opened fire on the aircraft as they tried to unload troops near the towns of San Gerardo and Nuevo Eden de San Juan, shooting them down.
Journalists who visited the area said
that they saw charred bodies of occupants of the helicopters, but that the craft were too badly damaged to determine signs of anti-aircraft fire.
Spokesmen for the Armed Forces Press Committee said an extensive investigation was launched to determine the exact cause of the crash.
The Defense Ministry spokesman said the two helicopters were backing a 4,000-man counterinsurgency operation its third day in eastern El Salvador.
