Charaes sought for senators
WASHINGTON - The Senate Ethics Committee said it happened "in substantial, credible evidence" that either Sen. Birch Bayh, D-Ind., or one of his aides broke the law in the Korean influence-buying scandal and the committee asked the Justice Department to consider prosecution.
However, the committee also said it found no evidence that South Korean gifts to senators ever succeeded in influencing a single senator.
The Ethics Committee in its final report said it would ask the Justice Department to determine whether perjury charges would be justified in connection with payments to Bayh and two former senators and whether Bayh or an aide broke the law by accepting a $1,000 gift in the Capitol.

WASHINGTON $(\Delta r)$ - The White House guarded endorsed yesterday the $12 billion tax cut Congress approved in its windup session. A spokesman described the final product as markedly improved over covert versions President Carter had threatened to
Tax bill gets endorsement
Rex Granum, deputy White House press secretary, said although "we certainly can't commit the president to signing or voting a bill until he has done so . . . there certainly were significant improvements in the tax bill."
II voters aren't sure what is in the final enactments by the 98th Congress, they have plenty of company among the senators and representatives. Many questions could not be answered promptly but key staff members slept after working stretches of up to 48 hours.
BUT THE final, formal version of the measure probably won't reach him for days, because legislative aides are working on the mountain of paperwork Congress left behind from the furious last days of the session, which ended Sunday.
STAFF SPECIALISTS of the Joint Committee on Taxation labored through the night to keep up with the agreements reached by the congressional negotiators, reducing the agreements to legislative language.
Even the $18.7 billion tax-cut bill had to be passed Sunday on the basis of summaries and verbal explanations. There were only seven copies of the measure in the form finally pieced together by the Senate-House conferences.
- A single person making $3,000 a year will get a tax cut of about $2.08 a month; if he makes $10,000 a year, his tax cut will be about $1.17; at $20,000 his taxes would increase about $13 a month; at $40,000 his taxes would increase about $17 a month; at $40,000 he would get a tax cut of about $1.17 a month.
Although the bill will incube income taxes for 65 million couples and individuals next year, coupled with Social Security tax increases,
For instance, without figuring the effects of inflation, here is how some taxpayers will fare under the provisions of the bill;
- A married couple with $10,000 income would get a tax cut of about $4.25 a month; with $20,000 the tax would increase about $4.75 a month; and at $40,000 the couple's taxes would be reduced by about $3.50.
Letter to South African leader said to contain negotiation appeal
- For a family of four with an income of $10,000, the tax cut will be about $5.33 a month; at $20,000 the cut is about $1 a month; at $30,000 taxes would increase by about $1.50 a month and at $40,000 a family would get a tax cut of $16.92 a month.
