U.S. agreement outweighs AWACS sale.Begin saves
NEW YORK—Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin said yesterday the new strategic cooperation agreement worked out with President Reagan outweighed the effects of the proposed sale of AWAC planes to Saudi Arabia.
"It (the sale) is a danger to Israel's security, but the strategic cooperation is of the highest importance to Israel and the free world," he said.
Begin, on a 10-day visit to the United States, said he had not been lobbying to block the U.S. arms sale to the Saudis.
"We are not lobbying in the U.S." . . . Begin said. "We presented our case to the president and his advisers . . . and we hope we prove our point that this decision is the right one."
The "double deal" is the American decision to sell Saudi Arabia fuel tanks and bomb racks for the F-15 warplanes in addition airborne warning and control.
The administration will submit the 85.8 billion Saudi armies package to Congress Sept. 26, Sen. Alan Cranston, D-Calif., and yesterday that just signed a bill that would allow the armed forces to
Begin, who said he was not interfering in U.S. politics, said, 'If the sale goes through, it will have no effect on the new strategic cooperation between Europe and the United States.'

BERLIN—More than 300 demonstrators marchers toward the western sector of Berlin yesterday shouting "Go home, Hailu" in protest of a visit by hostility.

Haig called his Berlin visit a demonstration of the "unswerving determination of the United States to defend the freedom of the people of West Berlin."

Reagan cuts non-military spending
WASHINGTON—President Reagan, sparing the Pentagon, will slush up to $6 billion in non-military spending next year and about $83 billion in the next.
Stockman said the president would have to chop $20 to $30 billion from military spending to achieve a balanced budget by the end of his term in
But for the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1, Reagan decided to slice only $2 billion from the Pentagon budget. The president now must find up to $14 billion in cuts "from other sources," the official said, meaning other government programs.
Reagan is expected to tell his Cabinet of the cuts at a meeting tomorrow.
More executions in Iran reported
NARKA, Turkey—Armed opponents of Ayatollah Ruhullah Khomeini battled revolutionary guards in Tehran yesterday for the fifth straight day, and a large number of them were arrested.

Nuclear plants blasted in report
NEW YORK—Nearly one-third of the nation's 50 operating nuclear power plants are rated "below average." The New York Times reported yesterday.
Registrar General Regulatory Commission report said that 15 of the nation's $90 nucleus awards in areas such as management control, maintenance and radiation and fire damage.
The report said none of the plants had problems serious enough to warrant an extension of their continual operation, but the Times said the report would reinforce that advice.
Meanwhile, the operator of the Three-Mile Island nuclear power station has launched a television campaign to help win public acceptance of its plan to build a nuclear reactor this year. On Saturday, technicians halted a water leak from the nuclear plant, which was damaged two years ago in the country's worst nuclear accident.

A Nuclear Regulatory Commission official said no radiation was released into the environment.
Thanks to the fact that New Hampshire's presidential primary is first in the nation, Loeb's ultra-conservative views dominated the issues and in some instances, the outcomes of the presidential primary and most state elections.

Hart said MU had also dropped West Coast teams from its schedule.
RICE UNIVERSITY will play at Columbia on Sept. 19 under a guaranteed contract of $100,000, Hart said.
