Reagan rules out reduction in Social Security, defense
WASHINGTON—President Reagan ruled out politically sensitive cuts in Social Security and in defense spending, in his effort to balance the 1982 budget.
The spokesman said the president would consider suggestions by Republican Senate leaders that entitlement programs, which guarantee government services beyond Social Security, be trimmed. But the president is "not inclined to go that way," the spokesman said.
The entitlements include such programs as federal pensions and Medicare
Reagan said he was trying to "close the door" on speculation that he was tinkering with some programs" in an effort to pull the federal budget out of a crisis.
"No one in this administration" is working "to cut Social Security to balance the budget," the spokesman said.
earlier yesterday, Republican leaders presented the president with proposals to cut next year's budget by almost $17 billion. The proposals included 82 reductions in programs such as Social Security and Medicare, and twice the president's suggested cutbacks in military spending.
On Capitol Hill, Thomas O'Neill, the speaker of the House, denied the Social Security system was in "dire, disastrous circumstances" as the agency seeks to expand its coverage.
He said Congress could ease the system's financial problems through 1986 by transferring funds from one Social Security fund to another. And he said,
HEIDELBERG, West Germany—Terrorists firing guns and anti-tank
groups have been driving in, allying himself with his wife and S. Army in
Europe as he drove to work, slightly wounded him and his wife.
It was the fourth terrorist attack on Americans in West Germany in two weeks and it came days after a demonstration in West Berlin in October. The attack was carried out by a member of a wing called 'Wunderkid' with 92 visions.
The rear of the automobile was badly damaged and police said the car's armor plating probably saved Gen. Frederick Kroesen, his wife and two children.
Kroesen, 58, who was treated at an Army hospital for skin abrasions, said his car was attacked by an anti-tank grenade and firearms as he was going home.
A grenade launcher was found later in woods near the scene of the attack, a West German spokesman said the weapon appeared to be Soviet-made.
HAVANA—Cuba President Fidel Castro launched a scatting attack yesterday on President Reagan before an international conference, which provoked a walkout by an American diplomat and a rebuke by a U.S. senator.
Castro launches attack on Reagan
In a two-hour welcoming speech before a conference of the Inter-Parlamentary Union, which includes members from parliaments of 94 nations, Castro called Reagan "a fascist" and said his administration was engaging in international negotiations that the United States was engaged in biological warfare against Cuba.
Wayne Smith, head of the U.S. interest section in Havana, walked out of the meeting and Sen. Robert Stafford, R-Vt., called Castro's charges "unfair and often untruthful."
Egypt expels 6 Russian diplomats
CAIRO-Egypt expelled the Soviet ambassador and six other diplomats yesterday, charging that the Soviet Union was plotting against the regime of PRINCE FREDERIC.
The expulsions and a series of other measures reduces the number of Soviet diplomats, journalists and technicians in Egypt sent relations between them.
Besides Ambassador Vladimir Polyakov and six of his embassy staff, two Soviet journalists and a Hungarian diplomat were expelled yesterday. Egypt also ordered the Soviet embassy to reduce its staff by half within a week, a move that will affect a dozen diplomats.
There was no immediate reaction from the Kremlin, but hours earlier, Moscow Radio dismissed as "absurd" Sadat's charges that Soviets were plotting against his government.
Pope defends independent unions
VATICAN CITY—Pope John Paul II, in strong words applicable to his native Poland, issued an encyclical yesterday defending independent unions and workers' rights.
The 30,000-word message, entitled "Labor Exercises" or "Through Work," was both a detailed document on labor relations and one of the Pope's most ambitious social statements.
The document said unions should defend social justice and the "rights of the working people."
also discussed the role of women, saying they should not suffer disability or work, but adding the church believed a woman's fundamental role was caring.
"However," the Pope wrote, "the role of Unions is not to 'play politics. Unions do not have the character of political parties struggling for power."
the officialage did not specifically mention labor rights in Poland, but a church official said Soldarity should try to implement the principles of the encyclical.
House approves bill to honor King
WASHINGTON—The House of Representatives yesterday overwhelmily approved a bill to place a measure of Martin Luther King Jr., as well as the "Equality for All" bill.
The resolution to authorize the art work was passed 386 to 16, then sent to the Senate.
The House and Senate have approved similar measures before, but they never could reconcile their differing versions. Supporters of the move said the House should wait for the Senate to vote.
The present bill would authorize using $25,000 to pay for the memorial. The future bill would authorize the Capitol, but none depict blacks who played parts in American history.
It was the first time in 29 years that the General Assembly had elected its president.
Iraqi to head General Assembly
UNITED NATIONS—The U.N. General Assembly opened its 38th session yesterday and elected an Iraqi diplomat, Ismail Kittani, to serve as president and to preside over the next four months of debate on the Middle East, East-West relations, terrorism and other crises.
In the past, presidents were pre-selected by one of five regional groups at a time. This year it was the Asian group's turn to pick a president, but member groups were
The General Assembly then stepped in and elected Kittani, a 52-year-old diplomat, in a secret ballot vote.
Prisoners charged with abduction
SPRINGFIELD, Mo.—Four Kansas prison fugitives captured in Missouri during the weekend were charged yesterday with the abduction of a college student, David Hancock, one of five people they allegedly held during their brief stint of freedom.
The inmates, Robert Bentley, John Kitchall, Everett Cameron and James Murray, were arraigned in Associate Circuit Court on charges of first-degree robbery, armed criminal action and stealing. Bond for each was set at $100,000 and preliminary hearings were set for Oct. 6.
The four men, with three others, escaped Sept. 6 from Kansas State Penitentiary at Lansing, Kan. Two of them were free until late Sunday and the others were captured the same day they escaped.

Strom Thurmond, R-S.C., the committee chairman, said the three-day hearing last week showed the Arizona Appeals Court judge had "integrity, ability and compassion—all the qualities a judge needs."
Thurmond and others predicted she would win Senate confirmation with little opposition and with ample time for her to be sworn in before the court's fall session begins Oct. 5. The Senate vote is expected Monday.

O'Connor said she was "delighted" with the committee's action

A White House spokesman said President Reagan also was "delighted with the vote" and "its looking forward to hear what the Senate" to confirm her nomination.
But doubts about O'Connor's views on abortion prompted Sen. Jeremiah Denton, R-Ala., to vote "present," and of "aye" in the confirmation vote.
Sen. John East, R-N.C., voted for confirmation, but joined Denton in criticizing O'Connor's refusal to say he had been a member of the issue reached the Supreme Court again.
Under intensive questioning in a three-day hearing last week, O'Connor said abortion was personally the best but refused to discuss a 1973 Supreme Court decision that abortions were constitutionally permissible.
Denton, predicting that O'Connor might take part in many decisions concerning the meaning of human life, said, "In an age of cloning and gene-splicing, that question may be the most important of all."
But he said O'Connor had kept silent to avoid disqualifying herself from taking part in future abortion cases, and said he did not want to penalize her for what may be a fault in the confirmation process.
Some committee members said the abortion question played too large a role in the committee's final debate.
"The abortion issue has nothing to do with being conservative or liberal." Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz, said. "It is not a matter of the fitness of a Supreme Court justice."
