News Briefs From United Press International Reagan says chance of war to go up if budget is down
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.—President Reagan, in stops on a cross-country trip yesterday, warned that the possibility of war would increase if his beefed-up Pentagon budget was trimmed.
During fundraising stops en route to California, Reagan pushed for his economic program and the need to enhance national security by sharply increasing military spending.
Reagan directed sharp words at members of Congress who have been criticizing and suggesting alternatives to his proposed budget.
"There is an alternative to a larger defense budget. It is a larger and increased possibility of war," he said. "With every improvement in our military readiness that we make today, we are saving the life of some American boy who will be serving our country tomorrow."
utilizing their proposals are not genuine budget alternatives at all, but political documents designed for saving certain legislators' political hides rather than saving the economy," he said.
Reagan also negated the possibility that Congress might roll back coming tax cuts in order to reduce projected Reagan budget deficits.
"The American people have been promised tax relief, last year the Congress passed tax relief, and as long as I have any say in the matter, no

The gymnasium where Reagan spoke was draped with signs proclaiming, "Wyoming loves Reagan" and "Romnie you're the best," but five blocks away, about 450 protesters marched at the Capitol and carried signs proclaiming, "No nux nowhere," and "We want jobs, but not in EI"
Gas price cuts may reach pumps
LOS ANGELES—Three major oil companies have discontinued their gasoline rebate programs and have slashed wholesale prices, it was reported yesterday. The move could reduce the price of some brands of gasoline by up to 8 cents a gallon.
Standard Oil Co. of California, Shell Oil Co. and Mobil Oil Corp. announced across-the-board reductions in prices that all dealers pay for gasoline, ingrouped by price.
Industry analyst Herbert Hart said the price cuts would probably be passed along to motorists at the pumps.
A spokesman for Atlantic Richfield Co., said the company would continue its rebate programs. The company announced yesterday that it would continue its rebate programs until further notice.
James Morrison, president of ARCO, said the move was intended to counter the expense of the credit system and to lower gasoline prices at least once a year.
Merrison said the credit system cost the company $73 million last year and was expected to jump next year.
Body pulled from Boston Harbor
BOSTON—The body of a man was pulled from Boston yesterday, but authorities said it was not that of Walter Metcalf, one of two passengers who died in the crash.
But authorities said they had not ruled out the possibility that the body of a white male, age 58 to 70, recovered from Harbor Bharer's Fort Point Channel.
"We've ruled out Walter Metcalf. It is not Walter. We haven't ruled out Lee," said George Parry, spokesman for Suffolk County Medical Examiner.
He said the cause of death was "asphyxiation due to drowning."
The attorney for the Metcalf family, however, said the description "did not seem to match," and the Metcalfs were doubtful the man was their father or stepfather.
Walter Metcalf, 70, and his 40-year-old son, both of Dedham, Mass., were reported missing three days after the jumbo jet with 210 people aboard skidded on an ice Logan International Airport runway and bellied into Boston Harbor.
Senate passes tough anti-busing bill
WASHINGTON- The Senate yesterday voted 57-37 to approve highly restrictive anti-burning legislation that had been tied up for more than six months.
Among other things, the bill would prohibit federal courts from ordering busing for desegregation for schools more than 5 miles or 15 minutes away.
The bill will now return to a questionable future in the house, where it was approved once before. Senate amendments have altered the House version of the bill.
of the bill and the differences we have to be worked out.
The new Senate amendments include one that would prohibit the Justice Department from initiating suits this year designed to seek busing as a means of desegregation.
Another Senate amendment would allow the Justice Department to seek reduction of repeal of existing court-ordered busing. This provision was not proposed by the House, but will be included in future legislation.
U.S. bound to Taiwan arms sales
WASHINGTON—Secretary of State Alexander Haig said yesterday that the United States is committed to the continued salts of arms to Taiwan because it is a priority.
Hai conceded that the sales would pose a problem for Peking, but said the administration is committed to continue the sales by law and by "our own business."
The administration informally notified Congress in December of its intention to sell Taiwan a total of $89 million worth of various military spare parts.
Congressional sources said formal notification has not yet gone to the Senate, indicating that the administration has decided either to delay the sale or to break it into small increments so that Congress will not have the chance to disapprove the deal.
Under a law that was revised in December, Congress has the right to disapprove any military sale worth $50 million or more.
Another name added to Hvatt toll
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—Another name has been added to the long list of officers in the Air Force. The Hyatt Regency Hotel, John L. Dixon of Warrentons, Mo., becomes No. 10.
Although Dixon, 64, died at his home in December, only recently has he been considered a victim of the skywalk collapse in which 113 other people died. That is because although Dixon suffered chest and heart injuries in the July 17 disaster, lung cancer also may have been a factor in his death.
Dixon was in a wheelchair on the second-floor walkway of the 40-story, $2 million luxury hotel when the collapse occurred. He suffered serious chest pain and was hospitalized.
He was transferred to the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan., where it was discovered he had lung cancer. He died at his Warrensburg home Dec. 1 and was buried at the Fort Leavenworth National Cemetery.
The death certificate on file with the Missouri Division of Health in Jefferson City attributes the immediate cause of death to "pulmonary edema secondary to cardiac failure." It was said those heart andug problems result of result of chest and heart injuries died in the skywalk collapse.
Correction
In yesterday's Kansan it was incorrectly reported that proposed cuts in Guaranteed Student Loans to graduate students would be effective for the 1983-84 academic year. If approved, the cuts will go into effect for the 1982-83 academic year.
Arts committee wants student interest
Donations sought
By ANN LOWRY Staff Reporter
Student Senate's cultural arts committee is working hard to involve students in more events on campus, the committee's chairman said yesterday.
The committee will seek student donations, attempt to bring speakers to campus and inform students of events on campus.
"IN THE PAST, our committee has done just what the Senate charges say. Michel said. "We're trying to state how involved with campus activities more."
Mollie Mitchell, cultural arts chairman, said the committee intends to do more than the Senate instructs it to increase student interest in cultural events.
Elena Brito, committee member, said members of the committee talked to organized living groups last week to inform students about cultural events on campus. She said the committee will do this monthly.
students on how to join Friends of Swartbuth, a fund for musical series, and Friends of Spencer Museum, a fund for the museum, Mitchell said.
Brito said filling out a form and paying $10 entitled Friends of the Museum to attend receptions for artists and receive a monthly magazine about the history of exhibits, new acquisitions and visiting artists.
Upcoming projects include a membership drive to invite and inform
Jacqueline Davis, director of the University Concert Series, said students could pay between $5 and $24 to join Friends of Swarthout. In return for helping pay for artists' fees and expenses, the students would receive a newsletter twice weekly and a chance to meet the artists.
"Students have always had the opportunity to join, but I don't think they've been aware of that," Davis said.
SHE SAID she also wants students to be aware of concerts on campus and urged them to buy tickets to fill auditoriums when prominent artists
"I want so much for students to take advantage of opportunities," Davis
said, "There's not a problem, really,
we should sell out because the
company is doing well."
To bring noted speakers to campus, the committee is also trying to organize
"When I look out and see an audience 70 percent left, I'm disappointed."
When John Houseman, actor on the television series, "The Paper Chase," was invited to speak at Kansas State University, he made sure the funds to bring him here, Brita said.
The cultural arts committee asked Senate, Panellinic and the In-
terior Court to approve.
HOUSEMAN WILL speak here in October because of those donations.
The committee would like to be able to provide funds to present such free programs to students regularly, Brito said.
The committee also is making long-term plans for an arts festival on campus in the fall, Mitchell said. For example, student musicians would perform different types of music in front of Wescoe Hall.
Although a few of the 20 members of the committee are majoring in fine arts, Mitchell said most of them are just "persons interested in the art."
