WASHINGTON (AP) - Tax relief for Americans was held hostage yesterday as senators, fearful their favorite bills were about to die in the closing days of the 95th Congress, tried to tie their legislation to the tax-cut bill. Congressional leaders expressed doubt that a planned parliamentary maneuver would succeed in its aim of barring non-tax amendments from Robert Byrd of West Virginia, Congress might have to abandon plans to adjourn for the year on Saturday. BECAUSE OF the political appeal of a bug tax cut less than a month before November elections, it would be premature to predict that Congress will quit without passing the tax bill. Before the tax bill can be passed, senators must find a way to trim the measure, which now totals nearly $30 billion, to fit the budget ceiling set by Congress. And some of the most controversial items, such as taxes on capital gains, have yet to be considered. Once the bill is passed by the Senate, it will go to a conference committee with the House, which will reconcile differences between the Senate measure and the $16.3 billion tax cut voted by the House. WITH ADJOURNMENT of Congress near, senators are looking for safe bills to which to attack such measures as the Humphrey-Hawkins full employment bill, legislation to control rising hospital costs and a measure that would require periodic review - and possibly appeal - of most federal programs and such "tax expenditures" as interest and deductions and child care credits. Sponsors reason that is their favorite projects can be added to the politically popular tax bill, they have a good chance of getting them into law. "We can't permit this tax bill to be held hostage for every idea that somebody hopes can get a majority vote in the Senate," said Sen. Russell Long, (D-La.), chairman of the Senate Finance Committee and floor manager of the tax measure. "It makes one suspect that those who are doing it pressing non-tax amendments aren't interested in passing the tax-cut bill," he added. Sen. Edmund Muskie, (D-Maine), sponsor of the "sunset" measure that would require periodic review of federal programs and tax breaks, said he has "tried the nice-guy route" of not tying his bill to something else. "I have tried for three years to get a THE MICHIGAN DAILY Volume LIX, No. 29 Tuesday, October 10, 1978 is edited and managed by students at the University of Michigan. News phone 764-0562.

NBesides, Muskie said, some of the tax amendments themselves are every bit as controversial as the non- tax proposals. "This is no place to do it," replied Assistant Republican Leader Ted Stevens of Alaska"The people deserve a tax cut" and such non-tax matters threaten the bill, he said. Trying to add such things as "sunset" and Humphrey-Hawkins to the tax bill insures that one controversy would be heaped on another. For example, conservatives vow a full-scale filibuster against Humphrey-Hawkins, which sets a goal of reducing unemployment to 4 per cent by 1983. 3. 4' The Writers-in-Residence Program of the Residential College of the University of Michigan is pleased to announce a schedule of Tuesday readings.
