Congress cuts defense money Reagan vetoes spending bill
WASHINGTON — President Reagan called it a "budget bucker," but the supplemental spending bill he vetoed is actually $2 billion less than he requested from Congress.
Reagan asked for $16.1 billion, including $2.6 billion for military programs.
Congress chopped $2.9 billion from his overall request, with $2 billion coming from defense programs, then added $101 million more than the budget allocated in 2016.
"This will bust the budget by a billion dollars," Reagan said Saturday in his veto message. But he was referring only to the $918 million increase in domestic spending and not to the overall total of the spending bill.
Congress returns from its Labor Day vacation Sept. 8, and will almost certainly attempt to override the veto — a move that requires a two-thirds vote in both houses.
The largest chunk of money in the bill, $6.1 billion, is for federal civilian and military pay raises.
"The defense spending is going wild and it continues to go totally out of control," said Mark Hatfield, Senate Appropriations Committee chairman. "When the President talks about bringing federal spending under control, it must be across the board."
French police arrest four terrorists
PARIS — French police commandees arrested three suspected Irish terrorists and an Italian linked to the Red Brigades terror gang, during a sweep of Paris during the weekend, police sources said today.
Irish police said the three were members of the Irish National Liberation Army, a splinter group of the Irish Republican Army.
know, are INLA members," a police spokesman in Dublin said. French police sources identified them as Michael Plunkett, 21, Stefan King, 20 and Marv Reid, 19.
The French sources who asked not to be identified said the three — apprehended in a suburban apartment house late Saturday — were planning an attack against the British military attache in the French capital.

In Rome, Italian police said the fourth suspect arrested during the weekend was Oreste Scalzone, an Italian ultra-leftist, linked to the Red Brigades.
U.S. soldier crosses Korean border
SEOUL, South Korea — An American G.I. who was seen walking through a "no man's land" to North Korea may have defected to the communists, a U.S. military spokesman said yesterday.
The soldier, PFC Joseph T. White, 21, of St. Louis, MO, was sighted crossing the border to the north of the $2\frac{1}{2}$ mile-wide demilitarized zone early Saturday, the spokesman said. He carried an M-16 automatic rifle and was escorted away by North Korean soldiers.
The statement is the closest the Army has come to backing North Korea's claim that White defected to protest the U.S. troop deployment in South Korea. Earlier official statements said only "it was possible" White had defected.
White is the fifth American to defect to North Korea since the Korean armistice was signed in 1853. The last previous American defector was Charles R. Jenkins of Rich Square, N.C., who crossed the border Jan. 5, 1965.
Little has been know about the life of American defectors in North Korea but South Korean intelligence agents believe they are used as English translators.
Half of Washington's teeth found
WASHINGTON — Half of George Washington's stolen false teeth have been found, the Smithsonian institution confirmed yesterday.
Spokesman Lawrence Taylor said the lower portion of the dentures were found in a Smithsonian storerroom May 3, but no announcement was made because "the FBI was not anxious for us to do so. It's an ongoing investigation and it still is."
originating in ancient Egypt.
The teeth — made of ivory, gold and perhaps human teeth — were first missed June 19, 1981, and authorities fear the thief may have taken the teeth to melt down the gold.
Given an alumnist, librarian at Washington's restored home known as Mount Vernon, only the uppers of the false teeth contained any gold. She said Washington's teeth had been made for him in the 1790s by New York dentist John Greenwood.
Taylor said the FBI has retained custody of the teeth since their recovery in the storeroom area from which they vanished.
The discovery of the lower false teeth in the area accessible only to Smithsonian employees might suggest an inside job. Taylor would not
Reagan officials called elitist
WASHINGTON — Ralph Nader charged Monday that the top 100 officials of the Reagan administration have in common a concern for the "powerful and wealthy" and a lack of compassion for "people who need beln."
Nader made the comment at a news conference, during which he released a new book by members of his staff entitled "Reagan's Ruling Class." The book provides word "porruits" of the top officials installed by the president.
"Reagan has turned over control of the U.S. government to a group of officials with a remarkably similar and limited set of experiences and allegiances that are remote from the realities of life for most Americans." Nader said.
"Almost 30 of the top officials ... are millionaires, and many are multimillionaire们 who view the federal government as an instrument of their power."<sup>[1]</sup>
Nader wrote the foreword to the book, which was written by his staff writers Ronald Brownstein and Nina Easton.
Zoo extends pregnant panda watch
it isn't quite all over yet," Dr. Robert Hoag, special assistant to the zoo director, said yesterday of the six annual attempt to impregnate
Haage said volunteers, who have logged more than 1,540 hours viewing Ling-Ling on a television monitor, would continue watching the 250-pound panda through at least 7 a.m. today in the hopes that she still may produce the first panda born in captivity in the United States.
WASHINGTON — There is still a "glimmer of hope" that Ling-Ling the giant panda is pregnant, so National Zoo officials have extended the five-month-long, round-the-clock "panda watch" until today.
The watch was to end today, 163 days after Ling-Ling was artificially inseminated, because 163 days is the longest known panda gestation period.
Zoo officials had thought Ling-Ling might be pregnant when she lost her appetite last month and starting building a nest of bamboo sticks in her den — both signs of pregnancy.
Dr. Theodore Reed, the zoo director, said "The possibility of a giant panda birth this year has become remote."

Laboratory studies learning disorders
KU's child development laboratory in Haworth Hall will be meeting the increased need for day care and will help more children with learning problems this year, said the director of the lab last week.
By JEANNE FOY Staff Reporter
"This is the age of the rights of the handicapped. Our research is keeping up with the senses of the times," said Dr. Meyer, a member of the A Hill Child Development Laboratory.
The lab has been reorganized to allow more research on learning problems and developmental delays, she said. Developmental delays are physical problems, such as a hearing loss, which are usually easily identifiable, Goetz said. Learning problems, however, are more difficult to pinpoint, she said.
Half of a new integrated preschool is made up of children with developmental delays. There is also a class taught with learning or behavior problems
Children can now be enrolled in day care for either a full day or a half day. Two preschools, each lasting 2½ hours for four day a week, have been changed into "half-day care," which lasts five hours for five days. Half-day care includes games as well as academic activities.
A program called Flexime allows a
person to be at the lat for a short time
a few days.
the purpose of the lab is to conduct research in the development of language and motor skills, independent of social and cognitive development.
"This really fills the need of many students on campus." Goetz said.
The units, which are staffed by KU faculty and students, are open to children aged 2 1/2 to 4 from the Lawrence community.
Goetz said there was a long waiting list and all interested parents should contact the department of human development.
There is a charge for the service, but the exact fee can be negotiated. Goetz said. Some scholarships, based on need, are available to the needs of the child, are available.
Goetz said that the child-teacher ratio in the lab, which has more than 200 students, is on par with the national average.
"The price is reasonable for what they get," Goetz said.
The day care service, along with the preschool program, provides activities such as short field trips, singing time and outdoor play. Goetz said the children were also given lots of love and affection.
Goetz said a parent should not worry about leaving their children in a day care center.
Research has shown no negative effects of day care on children," Goetz said, "providing you have a quality day care will help you be more bad but has bad to do with research.
"The typical child seems to learn just by someone spending time with him, but the child with learning problems doesn't." Goetz said.
The faculty tries to find out how a child can be instructed to learn. The faculty, Goetz stressed, is made up of a variety of teachers who are informed about the latest techniques.
The day care and preschools, like the rest of the University, have been affected by a 4 percent budget reduction. Supplies like construction paper and paint have been cut in half, Goetz said.
Goetz said that the quality of the lab would be maintained but that materials like computer paper would be used and the lab would have to be used more carefully.
"In the past, we probably have been overly generous." Goetz said.
Geoffrey Atkeisson and Kaveh Sharzei stand in front of the sink area of their new classroom in Haworth Hall. The classroom is one of several provided for 'Educare,' a day care service provided mainly for children of faculty at the University of Kansas.
