Budget defeat for Reagan raises possibility of veto
WASHINGTON—The House yesterday rejected an attempt to cut almost $4 billion more from already-reduced domestic spending, handing President Reagan his first major budget defeat and raising the possibility of a presidential veto.
But Reagan won a victory in the GOP-dominated Senate Budget Committee when the panel followed his wishes and voted down a proposal to balance the budget by 1984 by raising taxes and implementing more spending. Reagan had asked Congress to postpone any such plans until January.
Reagan vowed at his news conference last week to veto "budget-busting" money bills, but it was left uncleared which bills were in that category.
Meanwhile, the Senate Budget Committee decided not to deny Reagan on another budget item, voting 12-10 against a plan Reagan opposes that would allow the government to borrow money.
The committee considered the plan against Reagan's wishes but then refused to adopt it without his support.

But he again emphasized that defense was adequate to repel any military threat, a message Soviet soldiers have been repeating since the deterioration of relations.
Speaking before a closed session of the Communist Party Central Committee, Brezhnev admitted that the 1918 grain crop was a major failure, but it was also successful.
Couple hijacks Kansas City bus
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—A man wearing a three-piece suit pulled a gun from his briefcase and told a Kansas City bus driver to drive him and a female passenger north across the river into Kansas, the driver told authorities yesterday.
No one except the driver and the two alleged hijackers were on the vehicle during the incident early yesterday morning. The bus was found about 45 miles away an hour later at the intersections of state highways 73 and 71 in an Area Transportation Authority dispatch received a call for assistance.

Senate supports prayer in schools
WASHINGTON - The Senate, in a major test vote, went on record yesterday in support of voluntary prayer in public schools.
In a key triumph for conservatives, the Senate approved legislation that would prevent the release of student loans from blocking programs of college education to medium students in public schools.
The far-reaching language was included in the $8.6 billion appropriations bill for the departments of State, Justice and Commerce. The House earlier
The impact of the legislation—if finally approved by Congress—remains unclear.
There are no current Justice Department activities in the field of school prayer.
Minimum benefits remain in limbo
WASHINGTON—With Social Security officials delaying cutoff notices to 3 million minimum benefit recipients, House-Senate conferences yesterday failed to reach agreement on a stoppage bill restoring the $122-a-month payment.
The conferences agreed to restore the minimum benefit for all receiving it but were deadlocked on whether to impose cuts to make up for the $1.1 billion
Leaders of both houses said they wanted to wrap up the conference this week. The House leaves for Thanksgiving vacation Friday.
Congress voted this summer to end the payments for all current recipients and any future ones, but the president and the lawmakers later changed their minds. The Social Security Commission should have mailed the notices last Friday notifying beneficiaries that their checks would stop in March.
Koop confirmed as surgon general
WASHINGTON - The Senate yesterday overwhelmingly confirmed pediatric surgeon C. Everett Koop, a noted anti-abortionist, as surgeon general.
gave the aid and direction of the IEA to vote. The vote, after less than an hour of debate, was 68-24.
Koop's opposition to abortion was scarcely mentioned. But Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., leading the opposition, charged that Koop had "cruel, outdated and patronizing stereotypes" of women and that he was out of touch on women's roles that his nomination should be defeated.
Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Comm., said Koop opposed amniocentesis, which helps detect birth defects during pregnancy, and test-tube conceptions,
Koop has been deputy assistant secretary for health since President Reagan revealed his intention to nominate Koop months ago.
Aide keeps job during investigation
WASHINGTON-National security adviser Richard Allen will stay at his White House post while the Justice Department investigates his acceptance of $1,000 from a Japanese magazine, a White House spokesman said yesterday.
Aides to President Reagan refused to comment on the issue, which surfaced last week with the disclosure that Allen accepted $1,000 after helping arrange an interview for the magazine Shufu No Tomo with first lady Nancy Reagan.
The money in question, according to the Japanese, was a gift they expected to be donated to a charity of Mrs. Reagan's choice. Instead, it was left behind in a safe in Allen's old office after he moved to his new White House office.
It was discovered by the new occupant, who informed the FBI.

filling about half of all Field House.
"They're real bad. I'd say we've sold about 2,000," said Rich Konzem, acting ticket manager.
The Chinese team has lost all four of its games since it began touring the country this fall. The University of Missouri defeated the team 103-88 Friday night in Columbia, and it has lost all five of its games thwarted last night it lost to the University of Wisconsin at Parkside, 88-81.

Student tickets for tonight's KU game are $1.
STUDENT SEASON basketball tickets are $28 for 16 home games.
Public season tickets are $100 and faculty and staff tickets are $50.
Konzem also said that student season basketball ticket sales, which began last week, have not been good although the number of ticket sales account of the number of tickets sold.
Single game tickets are $8.50 for the public and $4 for students, but Konzem warned that single game tickets would not necessarily be available for all games.
"They've been down compared to last year's sales, but I think people are still enjoying it."
"Only 7,000 of the 15,000 seats in Allen Field House are allotted to students." he said. "If you buy a season ticket, all of the games—if you don't, you're not."
Konzem said that if students exceeded the percentage of seats allotted to them for a particular game, then single game tickets for that game would be issued. Most of their students used about 95 percent of allotted seats, Konem said.
THIS YEAR'S basketball schedule is especially attractive in December because it includes games against North State and Kentucky, he said.

Variety show benefits shelter for domestic violence victims
Performers in the 50-cents stand-up variety show "Sneaky Pete's" at Hashinger Hall did their performance this weekend to benefit the Women's Transitional Service Services, a shelter for domestic violence victims.
"It was one of the longest ones we've had because we included a pie-throwing contest."
As Hashinger residents do about once a month, they put on the show where performers volunteer from the audience, but Saturday night's show was different, said Cheryl Hinger, an actress from Moraine and Sneaky Pete's chairman.
Templin Hall residents were invited to join Hashinger residents in buying the pies to throw in the face of the staff member of a paying resident's choice.
"At one of our meetings a lot of the staff members decided we wanted to do a service project," Hinger said. "We decided WTCS was a worthy cause."
They paid from $3 to $20 for a shot at a staff member.
Saturday night the WTCs director, Patty Doria, received a $106 check at the performance as partial payment of the full donation.
"We're grateful; I think it's a wonderful contribution," Doria said. "That covers food expenses for a month at the shelter."
The shelter houses more than 260 women and children a year who are victims of any abuse in their homes. The employees are state-paid or volunteers.
Law enforcement officials rule hanging was suicide
A couple walking through Burgham Park, Second and Indiana streets, found calvin B. Nicholson, 26, 348 Michigan St., hanging by a rope from a cottonwood tree near Kansas River, sheriff's deputies said.
VanHoesen said a suicide note had been found at Nicholson's home. However, VanHoesen refused to give details on the contents of the note.
The Douglas County sheriff's department and coroner ruled as suicide the hanging of a Lawrence man Sunday, Bob VanHoesen, sheriff's department detective, said yesterday.
VanFozenen said Nicholson had lived with friends in Lawrence since he left his home in New York City last year.
These friends told police Nicholson had emotional problems and had considered seeking counseling, VanHoesen said.
The friends, who last saw Nicholson about 1 a.m. Sunday, told police Nicholson had been upset at what he could not say what was bothering him.
Nicholson did not have relatives in Lawrence, VanHoesen said.
Alan Sanders, Douglas County deputy coroner, said a complete autopsy would be performed today.
