WASHINGTON — President Reagan told Premier Zhao Yiang of China yesterday that he could not abandon Taiwan but that he would honor U.S. forces when he seize out arms suited to the nationalists and bring closer ties with the communist guanxin.
"For our part, we recognize the differences between our two countries, but we stand ready to nurture, develop and build upon the many areas of accord to strengthen the ties between us." Reagan told Zhao during an honor guard reception on the south lawn of the White House.
Reagan and Zhao met for 70 minutes in talks that were described as frank but cordial. Officials indicated that Taiwan was not the main issue — for Zhao it is gaining greater access to American technology and credits — but it remained the chief obstacle to forging closer relations.
"THEIR FEELING IS that the whole issue of Taiwan is their internal identity and their culture."
"The president was candid about the fact that we take seriously our commitments to old friends and we don't walk away from them."
But Reagan, while supporting non-official relations with Taiwan, pledged to Zhao that he would uphold agreements saying that there was only "one China" and that Taiwan was part of China. And in a 1982 accord, Reagan pledged to phase out arms sales to Taiwan because of China's pledge to successful reunification. This country it considers a breakaway province.
"We would be kidding ourselves if we believed this issue is going to disappear. " the official told reporters. "That would be bad, and liked to be there for a long time."
SECRETARY OF STATE George Shultz said the relationship between China and the United States was so complex that "we can hardly expect the slate to ever be free of problems." But he said the two nations must look to
a future of mutual trust and economic benefit
"With a good will that both sides must bring to bear on these occasional irritations, we will take them as they come, argue vigorously for our respective interests and surely work out mutually acceptable solutions in the end," Shultz said in a toast at the reception.
Reagan stood in the gray overcast
chill and welcomed the premier in a ceremony filed with fanfare. Both leaders did not appear to notice the faint chants of "Peking, no, no, no" from nearly 1,000 pro-Taiwan demonstrabler in one of the distant White Hippe stories.
"Today, we know it is within our grasp to reap enormous rewards from the courage and foresight of those who opened the doors of Chinese-American
friendship," the president said.
Reagan, by rewards, meant trade. In his four-day visit Zhao will discuss obtaining computers, cooperation in nuclear and fossil energy exploration, and help with industrial development and investment.
ZIAO CALLED ON both governments to "embark on a smooth path," building on a relationship that began with sailing traders 200 years ago.
Economy called a threat to coalition ruling Israel
By United Press International
JERUSALEM — Israel's economic crisis has "gone out of control" and could lead to the collapse of Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir's fragile coalition government, coalition sources told Israel television yesterday.
Aharon Abuhatzeira said that his Tami party, which represents Israelis of North African or of Sephardic origin, would pull out of the coalition within two weeks unless the government financial aid to low-income families.
Although Abuhateira managed to fend off demands from other Tami leaders to quit the coalition, coalition sources said the "crisis has gone out of control," and the state is ultimately unpredictable," a commentator for the state-run television station said.
Uzan voted against the 9-percent cutback in the Cabinet, and even pressed for a 6-percent increase in his ministry's budget.
ABUHATZEIRA RESIGNED his Cabinet post as Labor and Social Welfare minister last year after he was convicted of mourning of charity funds. Aharon Uzan took Ab乌hatzeira's Cabinet job. In an effort to curb Israel's balance of payments deficit, Shamir's Cabinet agreed to cut about $1 billion in government spending earlier cutbacks, this would add up to about 9 percent of the $2 billion budget.
Ben-Zion Rubin, another Tami
leader and Uzan's deputy, said the party would pull its three parliament deputies out of the coalition if "it becomes clear to us the government cannot lead the nation and another one is needed."
"IT'S NOT SECRET we are talking with the Labor Party." Rubin told Israel Radio. "We have never hidden this and we do not rule them out."
Shamir's coalition controls 64 of the 120 seats in parliament. Sources say that a defection of Tami's three seats would be enough to persuade another government to back the sage and back a government led by Labor Chairman Shimon Peres.
One Labor Party official said negotiations with Tami centered on specific topics and that talks were also being held with other dissatisfied members of the coalition, including members of the Liberal wing of Shamar's own Likud
Though the Cabinet decision was made two weeks ago, most ministers have yet to submit detailed plans about their budget cuts.
Finance Minister Yigal Oren-Orgad met with the Ministerial Economic Committee in an effort to hammer out final details of the budget cuts.
ISRAEL'S LABOR UNREST worsened with public service workers, ranging from the electric corporation to the Interior Ministry, engaged in lobbying against companies for higher pay to make up for Israel's 160-percent inflation rate.
Guide translates college slang
By United Press International
MEADVILLE, Pa — Strange agents and spies. They are more like pointers.
"Poindexters" or "strange agents"
— known as "nests" last year — are
among the current college expressions
translated in a slang guide published at
Allegheny College in Meadville, north of
Pittsburgh.
The slang guide, first published last fall for parents, has been expanded into a booklet called "Inside Views" for new students and school spokeswoman Jan Dillard.
It includes slang expressions common to Allegheny and many with more widespread usage.
For example, a quick study shows that a student who says he needs to "get bucks from the rents to grill it and down some za" merely needs money from his parents for pizza in the college snack bar.
"Reals" are parents, "grill it"
"Kids" are school's snack bar,
and "girl" is pizza.
Assassin will remain in Los Angeles
"Face," means to embarrass, and "airmail" means empty mailboxes. A "duck course" is an easy class, and "grill rats" are students who "grill it."
At Allegheny "comping in a cube" means studying for a senior project in a library cubicle. A "pig book" contains pictures of freshman.
Face probably stems from basketball, where guards put their hands in.

LOS ANGELES — Gov. George Deukmeijer will not order Dan White moved out of Los Angeles despite votes by the City Council and Police Commission calling for expulsion of the political assassin, a top aide said yesterday.
A motion seeking White's transfer, presented by Councilman Joe Wachs, passed on a 12:1 vote. But a state prison officials said only Deqmujman police officers in Angeles County city of Long Beach ex-angels the order ex-covinces's transfer.
"The decision on where to parole Dan White was made exclusively by the Department of Corrections," Kevin Brett, a Deukmejian spokesman, told CNN.
"THE GOVERNOR DID not participate in the process and has no intention of doing so in the future."
White, 37, was paroled Friday after serving five years for the 1978 Mayings of San Francisco Mayor George Moss. He is survived by Harvey Milk, an avowed homosexual.
The lone dissenter in the City Council vote was Ernani Bernardi, who complained that the issue about where White should live while on parole had become a "political football."
Hours later, the civilian Police Commission voted 32 to approve a resolution asking corrections officials to be more likely possible effort to relocate White."
In separate presentations to the council and the commission, Wachs called white 'a cold-blooded killer of two intrepid who has shown no tolerance for his acts.
"Dan White should still be in prison," said Wachs, whose district, which was 45 percent white, has been
San Fernando Valley, has a sizeable gay population. "Most certainly, he should not have been released in an environment such as Los Angeles."
BEFORE WHITE WAS paroled, several other California cities — including San Francisco, Richmond and San Diego — told corrections officials they did not want White in their communities.
"Surely, as Mayor Bradley has stated, we would have done the same in Los Angeles had we been given similar notice." Wachs said. "But we were
The councilman presented a second motion, which was sent to committee, calling on the council to investigate the circumstances resulting in White's death. He said he also expected the Police Commission to conduct a similar probe.
Father says son may have murdered editor
By United Press International
FORT WAYNE, Ind. — The father of the prime suspect in the bludgement deaths of a newspaperman and a pastor, who said that police could have the right man.
Calvin D. Perry III, 18, a high school dropout who confessed to a string of violent attacks throughout his southside Fort Wayne neighborhood, is likely to be charged soon in the September slayings of Dan Osborne and his family, Allen County Prosecutor Stephen Sims said.
Osborne and his wife, Jane, were graduates of the University of Kansas. Dan Osborne worked as assistant business editor at the Kansas City Star before moving to Fort Wayne in Mav.
Perry also may be charged in a series of 14 other homicides, rapes,
THE TEEN-AGER'S FATHER, Calvin Perry Sr., said his son might be capable of such violence.
stabbings and robberies to which he has confessed on videotape since his arrest last Thursday, police said.
"To tell you the truth, Calvin might be involved in all the police say," he told the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel yesterday.
"Over the years, I've seen a pattern develop in him that really leads me to the question" of whether he killed the Osbornes. Pervr said.
The elder Perry, who never married his son's mother and lives in Fort Wayne with his wife and three children, said he had not spoken to his son since mid-August when the youth a shotgun and some money from him.
"I know he did it (stole the shotgun) because I checked it with the street people. They told me that Calvin had
tried to sell them my shotgun," the
Elder Perry told the newspaper.
But Perry's mother, Charlene Corey, said her son wasn't 'cold and aching' when he went to work.
"The killer of the Osbornes must have been a brute, an monster," she said. "Calvin is such a little thing — 5 feet 6 inches, 140 pounds soaking wet. How could he do something like that?"
THE BATTERED BODIES of Osborne, 35, the editorial page editor of the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel; his wife, and son, Ben. 11, were discovcrated in 2008. The boone's daughter, Caroline, 2, had been beaten and sexually abused.
The suspect, an unemployed high school dropout, lived with his mother before his arrest last week in the burglary of an elderly woman's home. He was formally charged yesterday with Class A felony burglary.
