I The Michigan Daily-Sunday, November 1, 1981-Page 5 Congress edging toward election year tax increase WASHINGTON (AP)- Slowly but surely, key Republican leaders in Congress are edging toward what ordinarily would be unthinkable-a bill to raise taxes by billions of dollars a few months before next year's congressional elections. Democrats, smarting from defeat in the tax cut fight, seem willing to go along on the condition that President Reagan make a clear, unambiguous statement that he, too, favors higher taxes. THAT WOULD amount to nothing less than a confession by Reagan that he was wrong in pushing his tax cut plan through Congress. And it would give Democrats an opportunity to roll back or cancel part of the tax plan while scoring political points. So far, the president hasn't said much, although Treasury Secretary Donald Regan said Friday that administration of- ficials are debating the wisdom of raising taxes substantially during a recession. !Other sources also indicate the president's advisers are split on the issue. Regan is said to oppose a tax increase, and budget director David Stockman reportedly believes one is needed to shrink the government's budget deficit. REAGAN IS expected to discuss the issue with advisers and congressional Republicans this week. White House spokesman David Gergen said yesterday that Reagan has not accepted the proposition that higher taxes are required. Nor has he accepted Regan's conclusion that the administration probably will not be able to balance the budget by 1984, Gergen said. For some GOP members of Congress, the push to raise taxes stems from concern over spiraling deficit forecasts for the next three years. The most recent figures indicate the deficit could reach $100 billion in 1984-the year Reagan promised to balance the budget. IGIVEN REAGAN'S commitment to defense spending, GOP congressmen have long since concluded a balanced budget won't be possible in 1984 unless taxes are raised far more than the $22 billion in '"revenue enhancements" the president is seeking. The plan circulating among key Senate Republicans repor- tedly calls for tax increases of between $50 billion and $70 billion over the next three years. Dead man alive to con relatives . .ire v v r v r wr .r v v ' - ROME (AP) - Italians expressed foutrage yesterday at a gruesome new trick by the nation's kidnap industry: the 81-year-old victim was shot to death and frozen, then "made up," put in a chair and photographed as if alive to fool relatives into paying a $500,boo ran- som. - Police also seized papers showing the abductors planned to kidnap Italian ac- tress Virna Lisi and other actors and businessmen whom they did not name. A SPOKESMAN for the Rome, prosecutor's office.told the Italian news agency ANSA that the office has been flooded with angry calls from people demanding prompt and harsh punish- ment for the kidnappers, who have been arrested. Franco Ferrarotti, a sociologist, told ANSA the macabre episode "should sound an alarm bell throughout the government ... It's one crime that should (not be dismissed as another episode in daily violence in Italy." Monsignor Elio Venier of the office of .the Rome archdiocese told ANSA, "I'm not speaking out of hatred, but I say that theLord someday will make these people without heart to understand the magnitude of the crime they have committed." POLICE SAID the case came to light after they freed another kidnap victim and arrested her six abductors last week. They said the victim helped them find the body of Giovanni Palom- bini, a millionaire coffee magnate missing since April. His body was located Wednesday buried under a tree outside the village of Valmontone; 25 miles south of Rome, police said. Palombini's family paid a $500,000 ransom two months ago after receiving photographs of Palombini "showing' that he was still alive," police said. An autopsy revealed, however that 'Palombini had been dead for at least a month when the pictures were taken, police said. He had been shot three times in the chest, they added. Police said the kidnappers apparen- tly kept his body in a type of freezer commonly used by shops for storing ice cream. They said the abductors pulled the body out and "made him'up" for the pictures. The photographs showed Palombini sitting in a chair, wearing dark sunglasses and holding a newspaper, police said. They were not made public. Palombini was among 27 people this year and 380 since 1972 to be grabbed by ransom-seeking kidnappers. Most of the victims are; freed after relatives pay a ransom, but 18 bodies have been found and police say at least 21 other people are presumed dead. r- I ANN ARBOR1 i_ 2 INDIVIDUAL THEATREs 5th Ave. of Liberty 761-9700 ,$ 50 WED.

Tuesday, 8:30 Hill Auditorium STOCKHOLM; Sweden (AP) - After five days of being stranded, the crew of the grounded Soviet submarine is get- ting edgy and there is a possibility some of them, including the skipper, may try -to defect, Swedish officers said yester- day. ".The atmosphere aboard is very ten- se and irritated," said army Col. Jean- Carlos Danckwardt. "We cannot ex- clude that some of the crew may seek "asylum." Other officers said the cap- tain was not being allowed ashore because Soviet officials feared his _ defection. The crew of about 56 has been under heavy guard since Tuesday by Swedish marines in battle dress and comman- -4os armed with submachine guns :eeping watch from a nearby Swedish warship. They have also been subjected td what one ,Swedish military officers described as "sort of psychological warfare" by combat units holding drills on islands only 100 yards away. And a Soviet flotilla of two destroyers, two tugs, one submarine salvage vessel and a supply vessel cruised nearby, just outside Sweden's 12-mile territorial limit. Another submarine was detected yesterday close to the territorial limit and southwest of the grounded Soviet sub, but withdrew, a Defense Headquarters spokesman reported. He said the second submarine, remained under water and at least two Swedish helicopters lowered hydrophones to make contact with it. After the contact was made, the sub- marine 'turned away from Swedish waters and there was no reason to pur- sue it, the spokesman added. He called the contacts "routine procedures" and said there were a number of foreign submarines constan- tly operating in the Baltic. The helicop- ter crews could not determine the model or size of the second submarine, the spokesman said. Sweden has refused to refloat the submarine until the ship's skipper comes ashore with his log and the Soviet Union provides a full explanation for the incident - not just an apology. Uto Ughi made his first concert appear- ances in the major cities of Europe before he was 20 years old.
