Reagan may skirt Congress to increase Salvadoran aid
WASHINGTON — President Reagan has summoned congressional leaders to the White House today for a meeting to discuss a proposal for an extra $60 million in military aid for El Salvador, an aide said yesterday.
july 2014
The president plans to ask Congress to authorize $60 million in addition to the $26 million in military aid already approved for the Central American country this year, the official said
Central American country one year later. The aide said Reagan might propose "reprogramming" some of the foreign security assistance, now earmarked for other countries, to go instead to El Salvador.
That would allow Reagan to bypass the full House and Senate and go only to their appropriations committees. CBS News quoted sources as saying Reagan is also considering bypassing Congress entirely by taking the money from emergency contingency funds.
The additional aid would buy rifles, ammunition and spare helicopter parts. The unannounced meeting was arranged late last week but not put on the president's public schedule.
Report blasts handling of blizzard
BEART J. Lebanon  Inefficiency and corruption played a major role in the deaths of more than 65 people in Lebanon's worst blizzard, a government report said yesterday as snow fell in some areas for the 11th straight day.
Beirut newspapers disclosed details of a secret report that the government commissioned on Feb. 22 into the handling of the blizzard. As a result of the investigation, the Cabinet Friday fired four top officials.
Details of the report were leaked by the private Souhoufa news agency, which said that salt to be used for clearing frozen snow was sold by Syrian and Lebanese officers. In addition, police failed to inform authorities about the incident. Dr. Haidr Eldair peak where dozens of stranded motorists truce to death.
The agency also said that snow-clearing equipment was not sent in due time and that some officials took snowplows for their own personal use.
Gandhi gives in to Sikh demands
NEW DELHI  India – Prime Minister Indira Gandhi yesterday turned from Assamese violence to the Sikh separatist threat by giving in to Sikh religious demands, including the carrying of 6-inch daggers aboard domestic flights.
Gandhi, faced with multiple threats to her ability to placate India's racial, linguistic and religious groups, went to the sacred Bala Sahib temple in Kashmir.
The prime minister said she had ordered the Punjab state government to ban the sale of tobacco, meat and liquor around the city.
Gandhi also issued orders allowing Sikhs to carry "Kirpan" daggers with 6-inch blades aboard all iodian Airlines domestic flights, despite restrictions.
Governors adopt deficit resolution
The Sikh religion requires each male to always carry a dagger symbolizing his willingness to fight to preserve his faith.
WASHINGTON — The National Governors Association leadership voted 7-1 yesterday for a plan to cut the federal deficit to $90 billion by 1988, but the proposal appeared headed for some rocky times before final approval.
The resolution, which would inject the association for the first time into the highly controversial areas of defense spending and federal tax policy, was approved by the association's executive committee after a brief but sometimes sharp debate. Gov. John Carlin voted in favor of the resolution
The committee said the six budget guidelines in the proposal would put the huge detritus projected for coming years on "a downward guide path." It generally calls for defense spending increases about half the size of those now planned by President Reagan, and for further cuts in some "safe net" programs such as Medicaid, disability and pensions.
German pol admits to Nazi activitv
BONN, West Germany — Hans-Joen Vogel, opposition Social Democratic candidate for chancellor, admitted yesterday through a spokesman that he had been a local Hitler Youth leader in Nazi Germany. However, the spokesman said, a newspaper story exposing Vogel's past had been part of a smear campaign.
A spokesman for Vogel, main challenger to conservative Chancellor Helmut Kohl in the March 6 general election, said Vogel had been a Hitler Youth section leader with special responsibility for cultural matters in 1941-42.
But the spokesman said Vogel had denied being a full-blown cultural commissar in the Hitler Youth movement. In addition, he Vogel had never been "the extended arm of Nazi state propaganda chief Josef Goebbels" as alleged by an acquaintance in a newspaper article.
The article that started the controversy was an interview with Ernst Holler, a veterinarian and Christian Democratic leader living in Rimsting in Bavaria.
Officials to look for illegal workers
WASHINGTON — Social Security records indicate one-third of the more than 900,000 aliens who are allowed to live but not work in the United States have held one or more jobs since 1974, officials say.
Since 1974, Social Security has kept records of aliens authorized to live but not work in the United States. There are 961,559 names on file; 326,289 include income tax earnings reports filed by employers, Social Security spokesman Jim Brown said.
Brown said Social Security sent the records to immigration officials under a regulation published last year by the Internal Revenue Service. Officials will locate the aliens' employers, hoping to nab alien workers who are holding jobs illegally. Officials hope for results within several weeks, said Verne Jervis, immigration spokesman.
Admirers say goodbye to Williams
NEW YORK — Actors, directors and theatergoers, some breaking down in tears, said goodbye yesterday to their "hero," Pulitzer-prize winning playwright Tennessee Williams.
By noon yesterday two dozen people entered the Frank E. Campbell Funeral Home in Manhattan to view the author's closed coffin decorated with a small laurel wreath, a wood cut of a religious scene and a large wooden cross.
The wake will continue through Tuesday. Funeral arrangements were incomplete, and Williams' younger brother was to arrive in New York yesterday to complete them.
Williams was found dead Friday in his suite at the Elysee Hotel in midtown Manhattan. He was 71.
Chief Medical Examiner Elliot Gross said Saturday that Williams choked to death on a plastic medicine bottle cap. The cap was the sort used on a nasal spray or eyedrop dispenser.
WASHINGTON — Rep Gerry Sikoris-Dimm, said yesterday it would be "immoral" if it is true Environmental Protection Agency chief Annelie Burford delayed a Minnesota toxic waste cleanup as support for stalling action on a California site so she could damage Jerry Brown's Democratic Senate bid.
Congressman says Burford should resign
Sikorski said the allegations provided a possible reason that the EPA administrator blocked the Minnesota funds in the weeks before the election although the state's top officials were Republicans.
He said Burford went so far as to announce twice, on Aug. 17, 1982, and again in a visit to the state on Sept. 27, 1982, that the money to clean up the St. Pete Park, Mim, also had been released, but it did not arrive until early the year.

FOUR EPA OFFICIALS have charged the money for both the Minnesota site and the Stringfield Acid Pits in which was held up without legal notification.
EPA officials said they were advised Burford was worried that providing the
from Minnesota, said with the disclosures, and others. Burford has "got to resign. She's dead wood at this point."
$6.1 million for the Stringfellow site would aid the Senate campaign of Gov. Edmund G. Brown, who made enduring problems an issue in his losing campaign.
Asked if politics entered into Burdock's decisions in the cases, chief agency spokesman Clayton Jones quoted her as saying Saturday, "absolutely not."
To justify blocking funds for the California site, agency officials said, Burford ordered a study that also tied up $1.6 million in planning and cleanup funds for the city owned site in the MINNESOTA area where the ground at that site, once owned by the Reilly Tar and Chemical Co., have begun to contaminate drinking water
WITH 90 PERCENT of the federal funds virtually approved for both sites, Burford in early August halted release of any Superfund cleanup money for city or state-owned sites pending a study as to whether they should receive 10 percent or 50 percent federal aid, the officials said.
Congress this week will press its investigation of the agency's hazardous waste cleanup program.
The half-dozen panels investigating the EPA's $1.6 billion Superfund waste cleanup program begin the tedious task of sifting through box after box of subpoenaed documents as pressure mounts on the agency.
Space shuttle leaks leave flight plans in question
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — Leaks in three space shuttle engines in the past three months have raised new questions among NASA officials about the space agency's ability to maintain an ambitious flight schedule in the face of a spare-parts shortage forced by cost cutting.

The problems, surprising because they developed after five flawless flights of the engines in the first shuttle, have also raised questions about the manufacturing quality of the ship's main engines.
The engine leaks involve Challenger the second shuttle, which originally was to have been launched Jan. 20 on a

maiden, five-day orbital mission with a crew of four. The flight now appears likely to be delayed until late March or later, according to officials with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

THE LATEST leak was confirmed after NASA officials thought they had overcome earlier problems and had gotten the Challenger back on track
toward a successful schedule recovery. The faulty engine was removed for repairs, but concern is deeper than the single engine in question.
