Budget
continued from p. 1
The budget seeks to cut other non-defense discretionary programs such as education, legal services, jobs programs, mass transit and economic development grants by $4.2 billion, but adds $4.5 billion for increases in research and stocking of strategic materials.
PART OF THE space increase would be for development of the permanent manned space station that Reagan proposed in his State of the Union address last week.
A congressional source said the foreign aid increase included $2.8 billion over four years for Central America, part of the $4.8 billion in congressional recommendation for that part of the world.
The administration also is proposing the largest personnel increase in the history of the Immigration and Naturalization agencies, all aliens, Justice Department officials said yesterday.
Reagan also will ask in his budget message that Congress enact constitutional amendments requiring a balanced federal budget and providing the president with the power to vet individual items in appropriations bills. The bills are now signed or rejected as a whole.
The budget projects total federal spending of $926 billion and receipts of $745 billion, creating a deficit of $180 billion even if all of the savings cuts and tax hikes are enacted into law.
CONGRESS REJECTED Reagan's past two budgets and his new one is likely to meet the same fate. Republican leaders have said non-defense domestic programs have been defeated, and they say he gave Reagan only half of his proposed 10 percent increase in military spending.
"I would anticipate there will be a reduction in defense," a congressional aide
"ITS A GOOD budget," Senate Republican leader Howard Baker told reporters. "It's a realistic budget. It is not bad as some people had bad and not as good as some people had hoped."
"I underscore that it is a credible budget," said House Republican leader Robert Michel of Illinois. "There are no phony baloney figures in it."
Jones and Sen. Lawton Chiles of Florida, ranking Democrat on the Senate Budget Committee, said some assumptions in Reagan's budget would depend on whether the president's proposed bipartisan panel achieved the $100 billion in savings that the president wanted.

Bridge
EARL FARLEY, director of the library, said that if the bridge were completed as had been planned, it would provide more room to install computer cable from the library to rest of the building. In order to do that, it was necessary between the library and the rest of the Med Center runs in a small channel under 39th Street.
"If we turned it into a large aquarium it would serve a better purpose," said Debbie Wirick, a Med Center laundress
Farley said that original plans called for the bridge to be connected by an elevator to different levels.
But he laughed and said that such construction was probably a long way off. Farley said that even during winter storms he hadn't seen anyone using the bridge.
GERALD IMMING, director of facilities planning at the Med Center, said that unfinished construction work was always ridiculed. He said the lack of training in occupational skills because it doesn't understand the difficulties.
"I haven't even used it myself," he said.
"We could avoid the construction and ridicule, but that wouldn't be the prudent or responsible
Imming said that two auxiliary plans were in mind for the bridge's completion. One plan is to extend the main underground corridor to the north end of the bridge. Pedestrians could use an elevator to get to the bridge from the underground corridor.
The University originally intended to extend
the underground corridor to the north side of 39th Street. But because Kansas City, Kan., has water mains and utility cables running parallel to the underground corridor could not be extended.
In the 1983 Jayhawker, M.D., a student publication for medical students, a group of first- and second-year medical students offered some suggestions for what could be done with the unfinished bridge;
- Make an aerial bowling alley.
- *Keep it for the city inspectors to check on their way to Waid's.
- Make an MX missile launch site out of it.
* Open a deli inside it.

Mailhold
THE OLD POLICY was in effect when Watkins

unaware of the withholding policy until residents complained to him in October.
Osterburu said that he had changed the policy in November after postal service officials told him to stop sending letters.
"He came in assuming that was the way things were done," Osterbear said. "The desk assistants never understood that it was against postal regulations."
Watkins said that last semester he denied mail service to about five residents who owed the hall money because they had failed to pay fines or discuss the problem with him.
"All I was trying to do was to get them to take responsibility and grow up," Watkins said. "The rest of us were doing that."
Watkins said that mail was suspended primarily as a threat to students to pay fines.
primaryity as a bureau to get residents to pay their Hall policy requires residents who lose hall items or do not return items on time to pay a fine. Watkins said.
"If nobody paid fines or returned equipment
doesn't have any equipment." Watkins said.
Osterbuhr said that the fines were intended to keep residents from monopolizing hall equip-
RESIDENTS WHO REFUSE to pay fines may still have their meal services or desk privileges suspended by the hall, Watkins said.
Watkins said the hall decided to withhold mail as an alternative to suspending meals because it had an obligation to feed residents.
"I'm not going to deny anybody the right to eat," Watkins said.
PHIL SCHROEDER, Oeder freshman, said that he had his mail withheld from him for a day in late November because he hadn't paid a 50-cent fine incurred after he failed to promptly return a tape measure he borrowed from the hall.
"They were also try to keep me from eating because of the fine," Schroeder said.
Schroeder said that the problem was corrected after he spoke to Osterbuhr and paid the fine.
Gromyko accuses U.S. of inciting arms race
MOSCOW — Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromky, speaking to factory workers in Romania, accused the United States of trying to "whip up the arms race."
speech, which came mid-way through his three-day visit to the Romanian capital for talks with President Nicolae Ceaucescu.
Romania is the only East bloc nation that has publicly opposed Moscow's walkout at the Geneva arms talks. The official Romanian news agency ignored the Soviet foreign minister's
Gromyko's speech yesterday in Bucharest, came as the official Soviet news agency Tass dismissed suggestions by U.S. arms negotiator Edward Rowny that a breakthrough at Geneva was possible if the Soviets returned to the negotiations.
In his speech to workers at the "August 23" factory, Gromyko said the Soviet Union would not return to the nuclear arms talks until U.S. forces erasing 2 missiles were removed from Europe.
Calling the United States "the main threat to
Campy," Grumky denounced the U.S. missile
deployment and said the Soviet Union and its
sales were compelled to take counter-measures.

The Soviets last month began deployment of medium-range nuclear missiles in East Ger-
tany.
States, also defended the Soviet position. Romania is the only East bloc nation that has publicly criticized the Soviet decision to deploy nuclear missiles in Eastern Europe.
Romania often follows an independent foreign policy line.
Gromyko accused the United States of trying to "whip up the arms race, gain military superiority and flagrantly middle in the affairs of other countries."
He said the Soviet Union wanted a dialogue with the United States but said it was up to Washington to take the first step by removing its missiles from Europe
Gromyko's speech, while attacking the United
earlier, Tass said the Soviet Union could not accept trade-offs suggested Monday by Rowan at a hearing in Manhattan.
- Open a bar.
- Send it to the Med Center's Wichita branch
• Move it to Lawrence
Last week, several yards from the south side of the bridge, a middle-aged man defended the bridge.
"To me, that choice makes it worthwhile. In no damn way is it a white elephant."
"People have a choice. They can either risk their lives walking across 39th Street or walk over the street in safety of the bridge," he said, declining to be identified.
With that, he turned around, passed the south entrance of the bridge and walked across 39th

"They've opened up some dialogue with the Catholic church, for instance," the Ohio Democrat said, pointing to the administration's open efforts to undermine the Marxist-led
"There has been some movement there that I think we should jump on and try to negotiate."
Several other candidates agreed, including Sen. Ernest Hollings, D-South Carolina, who said, "We should be talking to them now," and California Sen. Alan Cranston, who urged the White House "stop seeking military intervention and seek negotiations."
the program, sponsored by the Boston Globe and Harvard University, covered a broad spectrum of foreign policy issues, with all of the materials generally sticking to, previously stated positions.
THE REAMKS WERE interspersed with humor, including former South Dakota Sen. George McGovern, who praised Jesse Jackson "bringing civil rights into foreign policy," an apparent reference to Jackson's Syrian trip to win the freedom of captured U.S. flier Robert
McGovern also complained about U.S. foreign policy, saying, "It's based too much on what we're against and not what we're for."
JACKSON DREW LAUGHS from the audience when he prefaced a question to Glenn by saying "I've been waiting for this for a long time, Mr. Right Stuff," a reference to a book and movie about the astronaut program.
