So cial pro grams on fiscal tightrope WASHINGTON (UPI)-The Reagan administration has encountered little real resistance so far in its proposals to dismantle most of the massive social programs spawned during the days of Lyndon Johnson's Great Society. Budget Director David Stockman's three-ring, loose-leaf "black book" of proposed cuts touches almost every aspect of life-from the arts and humanities to the mail and rails. YET EVEN THOUGH the book's contents began leaking to the press 10 days ago, most liberals are waiting until Wed- nesday-when President Reagan announces his economic recovery plan-before marshaling their opposition. Have they faced the cold reality that the days of big gover- nment spending are over for a while? The new conservative Congress is expected to go along with most of the budget cuts. REPORTEDLY, THE CUTS include a phase-out of the government's public service jobs program, reduction of the extended unemployment benefits program, and cuts in welfare programs. But sources say those stringent measures will be softened for some by a proposed 30 percent cut in personal income tax rates, spread out over three years, and accelerated depreciation writeoffs for business. From the very start of his new administration, Reagan has gone to extraordinary lengths to enlist followers for his budget-slashing plan. Even before Reagan has fired his first shot, supporters of agencies, programs, and areas that will suffer from the planned $50 billion in budget cuts began building their defen- ses.

Leak forces balloonists to land i4n 1India plains NEW DELHI, India (UPI)-Two Americans set on making Jules Verne's vision come true landed in India yesterday when the balloon they hoped to take around the world dipped too low to assure safe passage over the mighty peaks of the Himalayas. Although their hopes of circling the earth non-stop were dashed, officials who spoke with the adventurers said they had not yet decided whether to call off their trip or continue. AFTER TRAVELING almost 2,850 miles in three days, Maxie Anderson and Donald Ida landed the "Jules Ver- ne," their slowly leaking helium-filled ballon in the plains of northern India, about 60 miles northwest of New Delhi. The flat terrain where they landed leads to the foothills of the Himalayas, the world's highest peaks. Anderson, 46, of Albuquerque, N.M., and Ida, 47, of Boulder, Colo., had hoped not only to circle the globe in their balloon, but to shave 70 days off the fictional record set by Phileas Fogg, the hero of Verne's classic "Around the World in 80 Days." BUT IT WAS not clear whether they would continue their attempt to float around the world or call it quits after passing over five countries, and through five time zones and missing Iranian airspace by a hairsbreadth. "Every balloon landing is tricky," said the president of the Indian Balloonist Club. "But if it was in good shape, they may decide to try over. It is their decision." Ida and Anderson took off Thursday from Luxor, Egypt, hoping to fly 20,000 miles around the world in eight to 10 * 9:30 days. AT THAT TIME, their only fear was that they would drift into Iranian air space and be shot down. But the giant silver balloon named af- ter Verne sprung a leak over the deser- Richard Dreyf Amy Irvin ts of the Arabian peninsula. Despite the 1:45 A15s 7:15 9:45 problem, the pair drifted across the Arabian Sea, through Pakistan and ttThe year fs then into India, where it began losing altitude and speed as it drifted south bestfi .:30 towards the Himalayas. Charles champlir When it was last spotted by a LOSANG LESTIMES 8:0 Pakistani airliner, the Jules Verne was gliding at an altitude of 1,800 feet, com--pa- pared to its normal 20,000 to 25,000 feet. "They just decided they could not THE PCRE 12:45 risk trying it," an Indian official said of - 3:15 the flight over the Himalayas.

It Army doctors investigate building to find causes of miscarriages, birth defects MARIETTA, Ga. (AP) - Army doc- tors are investigating a building in a large military-industrial complex where women employees have reported, a high number of birth defects and miscarriages, authorities said yester- day. Ten women have suffered miscarriages and four others gave bir- th to babies ;with birth defects in the past 18 months,said one of the women employees, who asked that her name not be used. JHE ARMY SAID no connection has been made between the buildings and the birth problems. All of the women worked in a building housing the regional office of the Defense Contract Administration Ser- vices, located between Dobbins Air Force Base and Lockheed-Georgia Co. The birth defects included hernias, eye defects, and spinal defects said the woman involved in the problem. One of the four babies died, she said. DR. RICHARD TEZAK of the Army Environmental Hygiene Agency was called in by the defense agency to check the building and interview the women, said Jim Markiewicz, a spokesman for the Army's Health Services Command. Tezak found no connection between the building and the birth problems, Markeiwicz said, although he has not yet filed his report. "There was no apparent problem in the workenvironment that would relate to the alleged abnormalities," Markiewicz said in a telephone inter- view from his San Antonio office. TEZAK DECLINED to be inter- viewed. A spokesman for the national Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta said it was not unusual that no connection was made. "Those cluster studies are hard to do," said spokesman Don Berreth. "Even at Love Canal, there are no good studies showing those people were ad- versely affected. It was a horrendous place to live but there are no studies saying why those people were har- med." THE CDC WAS not involved in the Marietta study, Berreth said. Addison Glover, regional deputy of the agency, said he would wait to see Tezak's report before commenting on the findings. He said it would take up to three months to be completed. Glover said 550 people work in the building, which also houses the Defense Contract Audit Agency and a Selective Service office. He could not say how many are women. 1; .. ,qwoioq -1 dip, 0 V SAM SHEPA Feb.13 & 14 at 8:00 matinee Feb. 15 at 4:00 Schorling Aud., School of $2.50 & $3 A Dratman Theatre Co presentation r 375 N MAPLE rri. fl i I,(~r:!~/U 769-1300J C*w To submit items for the Happenings, The Michigan Happenings Column, send them in care of: Daily, 420 Maynard St., Ann Arbor, MI., 48109.
