Reagan may seek deficit compromise
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — President Reagan, his anti-stand test put to the test by a deteriorating fiscal outlook, will approach Congress "on a realistic basis" in a federal deficit, White House spokesman Larry Speaks said yesterday.
Speakes, in explaining a position stated by Reagan during the presidential campaign and after his re-election last week, left the door open for Clinton. Mr. Deals the president has accepted three times in the last four years.
Describing Reagan as "strong-willed" on the subject, Speakes said
the president was committed to a "revenue-neutral" tax simplification plan — one that would cut the money that the current system.
"I know how the president feels," Speakes said. "I do not know how this is going to come out."
BUT BEYOND A refusal to see tax rates increased, he would not speculate what Reagan might do in the way of a compromise.
His comments added to uncertainty over the tact Reagan will take in his deficits dealings with Congress.

Administration officials confirmed that a slowdown in economic recov-
If Congress and the administration are unable or unwilling to take action on the revenue or expenditure side of the budget equation, the new figures suggest that Reagan will be unable to control the deficit.
THE OFFICIALS WOULD not confirm reports that the latest projections point to deficits in the range of $190 billion or larger in each of the next few years. However, one analyst noted that confirmed there's been some worsening.

payments to farmers and Medicare as well as excessive appropriations by Congress. He said Reagan urged the president to pear their budgets where possible.
"In the election, the people said they want more of what we accomplished in the first term," he quoted Reagan as saying. "Our main purpose was to reduce the rate of increase in government, and we're going to keep on down that line."
Speakes explained that Reagan, in opposing higher taxes, had meant only to rule out increases in tax rates.
"He's going to have to have a lot of convincing to allow anybody to pay a nickel more in taxes," Speaks said.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court refused to become embroiled yesterday in a dispute between a church-run school and Nebraska officials who demanded the school use certified teachers and then arrested the pastor when he refused.
The justices rebuffed an appeal by the North Platte Baptist Church from a ruling temporarily ending the
operation of its school last year because it did not use state-certified teachers.
The Rev. Robert Gelsthorpe, pastor of the church and the school's administrator, accumulated $20,000 in contempt-of-court fines. The church also was fined another $20,000.
The case became a cause for fundamentalist Christians across the country when the pastor was arrested at North Platte, and the Faith

A federal district court sustained
the ordinance. But the 38 U.S.
Court of Appeals ruled it was not

IN SEPARATE ACTION, the justices also voted 7-2 in a Mississippi case to uphold the constitutionality of Congress' 1982 amendments to the Voting Rights Act that allow federal courts to consider the effects of discrimination in approving remapping plans.
