Reagan
WASHINGTON (AP)- President
Reagan extended yesterday his self-
imposed deadline for finishing a 1983
budget plan as he continued to resist the
call of his economic advisers for some
tax increase to hold down the federal
deficit, aides said.
Reagan hoped to wrap up work on the
new budget by late today, but that
deadline slipped indefinitely as he
began a new round of meetings with his
economic team.
puts off
THE PRESIDENT clamped a lid on
public statements about the proposals
under review, but spokesmen por-
trayed him as still opposing new taxes
despite warnings that the government's
red ink could exceed $100 billion without
them.
One Reagan adviser, asking not to be
identified, said the "basic decisions"
about taxes had not yet been made, and
"there are all kinds of options being
presented. There are very few easy
budget d
decisions left," he said.
One aide, however, said Reagan ex-
pressed no displeasure at Treasury
Secretary Donald Regan's statement
Wednesday that there would be new
taxes in 1983 and 1984.
"HE DIDN'T express any
displeasure at all," White House
spokesman David Gergen said.
But Regan's comments and disparate
remarks from other advisers apparen-
tly prompted the president to tell them
to remain silent while he considers the
unpalatable options: a huge deficit or
new taxes.
Gergen emerged from the first of
several meetings planned for yesterday
and today and said administration of-
ficials were told "not to speculate fur-
ther" about elements of the economic
package.
ASKED WHETHER Reagan had
relaxed his opposition to tax increases,
Gergen said: "The president has not
changed his views, but we are not going
to speculate further."
Deputy press secretary Larry
Speakes said, "The president doesn't
0
ecisions
look with favor on new taxes" though
"some of his advisers may run them
past him here in the next couple of
days, and he will have to make a
decision."
Gergen said it was agreed at the
morning meeting that "during the
period of deliberations between now
and the State of .the Union (to be
delivered Jan. 26) it would be best not to
speculate further on what options may
be presented and what decisions he
(Reagan) may make."'
"IN COMING weeks, as the president
makes his State of the Union address
and sends up his budget and economic
reports (to Congress), we believe there
will be a full opportunity for complete
discussion and analysis of the
president's major proposals," Gergen
said.
Some decisions, he said, would not be
made until close to the delivery of the
State of the Union speech. "It was
agreed the deliberations would con-
tinue in privacy."

IN BRIEF
Compiled from Associated Press and
United Press International reports
NEW YORK- After a seven-week struggle with a giant oil company, U.S.
Steel Corp. yesterday bought a controlling interest in Marathon Oil Co. and
took the first step toward creating the nation's 12th-largest industrial con-
cern. w
The announcement followed Supreme Chief Justice Warren Burger's ,
rejection Wednesday of Mobil Corp.'s last-ditch request to stop U.S. Steel W
from acquiring Marathon and completing the second-largest corporate
takeover in U.S. history.
At 12:01 a.m. EST yesterday, a U.S. Steel executive in Pittsburgh placed a
telephone call to the-Banker's Trust Co. in New York, authorizing the bank to
begin buying 30 million Marathon shares for $125 apiece as part of a two-steptial
transaction valued about $6.2 billion.
"The deed's been done," said Andrew Staursky, a spokesman for the steel
company.
CIA director concealed :
lobbying for Indonesia
WASHINGTON- CIA Director William Casey failed to tell a Senate corn-
mittee investigating his past business dealings of the full extent of his lob- :
bying of Treasury and State Department officials on behalf of Indonesia in
1976, government documents show.
The Justice Department's criminal division is reviewing the matter to see p
if Casey violated federal law by failing to register as a foreign agent. Depar-
tment officials say that in tlhe past, criminal charges have been brought only
when a foreign agent tried to conceal his work.
In a revised disclosure statement filed with the Senate Intelligence Coin-
mittee last September-two days before the panel ended its active in-
vestigation of Casey-the CIA director acknowledged he had one meeting at
the Treasury and two meetings at the Internal Revenue Service in 1976 while .
representig Indonesia on a tax question involving that nation's oil industry.
Casey did not say with whom he met. He submitted a letter from his for-:r
mer law firm, Rogers & Wells, which described the two sessions at IRS as
"information meetings."
Dozier resisting captors ;.
ROME- Officials said yesterday the latest communique from the Red
Brigades in the fate of kidnapped U.S. Army Brig. Gen. James Dozier
showed the general had apparently resisted his interrogators and not given
away any military secrets.
University student
dies of meningitis
University senior Gregg Benjamins
died unexpectedly Wednesday after-
noon of meningococcal meningitis at
the University Hospital. He was 21.
Benjamins was an Honors student
with a double major in English and
chemistry, and a newly-elected vice-
president of Chi Phi fraternity, where
he resided.
Benjamins returned to Ann Arbor
from Montague, Mich., his hometown,
after winter vacation. He did not attend
the first day of classes because he was
not feeling well and collapsed in the
shower Wednesday morning. His
fraternity brothers called the police
and Benjamins was taken to the
hospital, where repeated efforts to start
his heart beating failed.
Craig Trebilcock, fraternity brother
and friend of Benjamins, said Ben-
jamins was active in the fraternity and
a good leader. "Everybody liked him.
Everybody went to him with their
problems."~
Benjamins' fraternity brothers are
arranging cars to take his friends to the
memorial service for Benjamins Mon-
day afternoon at the Ferry Methodist
Church in Montague.

Shepard's
The new communique, along with a transcript of an interrogation of the 50-
year-old general, were found Wednesday night in a Rome trash can after a
Red Brigades caller told a newspaper editor where to look for it.
The authenticity of the transcript was confirmed by Col. Luciano Dal
Ceggio, spokesman at NATO southern Europe land forces headquarters in
Verona in northern Italy.
Dozier, kidnapped exactly three weeks ago, was the highest-ranking
American officer at the base before his abduction from his Verona apar-
tment Dec.-17.
Kelley seeks refunds on
worker's compensation hike
LANSING- Attorney General Frank Kelley is asking the Michigan Court
of Appeals to order refunds for small businesses and industries on a $111
million, 25.2 percent worker's compensation insurance rate hike.
oelley is challenging the increase, approved by the state insurance com-
missioner in 1978 at the request of an insurers' association, claiming there
was not sufficient factual information to support it.
The attorney general also is asking, as an alternative to a refund, that the
case be returned to the commissioner for further hearings.
The allegedly excessive level of worker's comp rates has been a hot
political issue in Michigan recently. The insurers' Worker's Compensation
Rating and Inspection Association, faced with legislation mandating a 20
percent rate cut, recently proposed a voluntary reduction of 22 percent.
