Senate kills tuition tax credit plan WASHINGTON (UPI)-The Senate, rejecting pleas from President Reagan, killed tuition tax credit legislation yesterday, dooming the measure for at least this year. After an hour of sharp debate, the Senate voted 59-38 to table the measure, killing legislation that has been a top Reagan priority since he entered the White House. IT WAS THE second setback for Reagan in the Republican-controlled Senate in as many days. Tuesday, the Senate rejected his natural gas deregulation bill. Congress adjourns this week until January. The tuition tax credit defeat came af- ter the Senate was warned it would un- dercut the public school system, swell deficits and favor the affluent. Sen. Arnest Hollings (D-S.C.) said it would create a "revenue hem- orrhage" and charged it was a "ripoff for the rich." THE BILL, which would provide tax relief for parents who send children to private elementary and secondary schools, would give taxpayers a credit for 50 percent of tuition expenses with the maximum credit rising from $100 in 1983 to $300 in 1985 and following years. The maximum credit would be allowed only to taxpayers making $40,000 or less. Those making over $50,000 would not be eligible. The estimated cost is $800 million a year. The bill had no chance of enactment this year. Opponents had signaled they would filibuster the legislation in the closing days of Congress if the bill had survived the test vote. THE BILL was offered as an amen- dment to a minor House tariff bill in an effort to get a vote before adjournment. In the sharpest exchange of the debate, Sen. Daniel Moynihan (D-N.Y.), trying to diffuse charges the bill would hurt public education, said that supporters, time and again, said ''public schools come first.'' But Hollings replied, "The president says public schools come last." Hollings ...calls plan a "ripoff" Carter documents found in Reagan's files WASHINGTON - Highly classified documents from the Carter ad- ministration have been found by congressional investigators in files from President Reagan's 1980 election campaign, a' House subcommittee chairman said yesterday. "We've found some 'your eyes only' type of stuff. That means classified - the highest classification," said Rep. Donald Albosta, (D-Mich.), whose panel is probing how Carter White House materials reached the president's campaign. Albosta, who announced that h6 has set Jan. 26 as the tentative start for public hearings, said the classified materials dealt with foreign policy but declined to assess their sensitivity. He also refused to say whether the documents were found in the Reagan campaign archives at the Hoover In- stitution at Stanford University or in personal files maintained by former Reagan campaign staffers. "Obviously, we looked in Reagan files, not his personal files but things pertaining to his election," Albogta said in an interview granted to elaborate on a prepared statement issued earlier. The statement said House in- vestigators had turned over "certain information" to the FBI, which is conducting, at White House request, a criminal investigation of the transfer Carter documents. He said it was not the. purpose of his; investigation to determine whether any laws had been violated, only whether the Ethics in Government Act needs revision. Until yesterday, Albosta's public statements about his five-month-old in- vestigation had not mentioned classified materials. Con at lations. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press international reports Missiles spur protest in England LONDON - Police dragged screaming and weeping women from the gates of Greenham Common Air Base yesterday, and Defense Secretary Michael Heseltine vowed deployment of the new U.S. cruise missiles would continue despite the anti- nuclear protests. "We see no cause for changing," he declared in a radio interview. "You don't reconsider matters of such moment in the context of unruly and unreprehensible behavior of a very limited number of people." Heseltine was sprayed with red paint Tuesday by demonostrators at Manchester University: At the Greenham Common base, 50 miles west of London, where C-14 Starlif- ter transport planes brought in missile shipments Monday and Tuesday, women protesters staged a sit-down protest outside the main entrance. Twenty-three women were charged with obstruction, then released, police said. Most returned to the base to prepare for further demonstration. In Rome, Socialist Premier Bettino Craxi's coalition government easily won parliamentary approval yeserday for Italy's plans to install 12 cruise nuclear missiles in Sicily. U.S. troops in Grenada to be pulled out before Christmas WASHINGTON - All American combat troops will be pulled out of Grenada by Dec. 23, a White House spokesman said yesterday, but there were indications other U.S. personnel may stay longer. Deputy press secretary Larry Speakes told reporters that Secretary of State George Shultz informed Congress Tuesday that the troops still on the Caribbean island will be withdrawn two days before Christmas. "We have indicated to the Congress that there is no need for congressional ac- tion, in our opinion, on (the) war powers (act)," Speakes said. "We don't anticipate there will be any additional hostilities and combat troops would be out, as the Deapartment of Defense said, before the 60-day period ex- pires, although we do not acknowledge the need for a 60-day period." There are an estimated 3,500 U. S. troops in Grenada, down from the 6,000 there during the invasion. Pentagon officials said they have not drawn up any plans for a withdrawal by Christmas. When asked about the status of other U.S. military personnel who may remain on the island, such as construction workers or medical personnel, Speakes said, "None of those issues has been decided." New Soviet missile may have Western origins, report says LONDON - Moscow has developed its own version of the low-flying cruise mis- sile now being deployed in Britain and the technology was probably stolen from the West, an authoritative defense journal said yesterday. Jane's Defense Review revealed that Moscow has its own low-flying cruise missile - the SSN-X-21. The development has created a "a great deal of concern among decision-makers in Washington," the report said. The submarine-launched Russian cruise missile with a range of about 1,500 miles should enter service early next year,Jane's said. Air and ground-launched Soviet cruises will follow in coming years, Jane's said. A Jane's spokesman said the development of the missile was "dramatic" because for the first time Moscow has a cruiseype missile that can hit targets on land rather than only at sea. The Soviet cruise "reportedly uses turbofan and microelectric technology which the Soviets have obtained from the. West,"Jane's saidc One specialist said that meant some of the technology was obtained secretly. Bus line to resume operations PHOENIX, Ariz. - Union leaders representing Greyhound strikers from around the nation arrived in Phoenix yesterday as a federal mediator reported progress in talks to end a 15-day-old walkout. Meanwhile, America's biggest bus line prepared to resume limited service today. Despite the bargaining, a Greyhound spokesman said a settlement did not ap- pear to be near. "We've made a lot of progress on concepts. Yesterday (Tuesday) was not only a long day, but a good day," said chief mediator Sam Franklin, whose negotiators shuttled between the hotel rooms of bargainers from Greyhound and the Amalgamated Council of Greyhound Local Unions. The strike by 12,700 bus drivers and terminal, maintenance and office workers began Nov. 2 after union negotiators rejected a contract poposal including big wage cuts and benefit concessions. The strike shut down the company's operations, which served the 48 contiguous states and accounted for 60 percent of America's intercity bus service. But Greyhound has vowed to resume some service in 27 states today with 1,300 workers, many of them previously unemployed, who signed up to take the strikers' places. Cypriot president rules out use of force to reunify island NICOSIA, Cyprus - President Spyros Kyprianou yesterday ruled out the use of force to reunify Cyprus, but Greek and Turkish troops were reported on alert after the Turkish-occupied sector of the island declared itself independent. Kyprianou blamed the new Cyprus crisis on the Turkish military government, which recognized the new state after an emergency Cabinet meeting in Ankara. In athens, Greek government spokesman Dimitrios Maroudas told reporters the Socialist government was "not contemplating to declare a mobilization or send warships to Cyprus" in reaction to the Turkish Cypriot move. However, military sources in Athens said army reservists in specialized units have been called up for duty along Greece's northern border with Turkey. Kyprianou indicated he would ask the U.N. Security Council to impose sanctions against Turkey and northern Cyprus.. Turkey, which invaded the long-disputed Mediterranean island in 1974, has 25,000 troops in the newly declared Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus - sent nine years ago, to protect the rights of Cyprus' ethnic Turkish minority. ~J AdUdiigan1 a Ii Vol. XCI V-No. 62 Thursday, November 17, 1983 (ISSN 0745-967X) The Michigan Daily is edited and managed by students at The University of Michigan.
