4 Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Monday, January 27, 1986 BUSINESS Congress to address budget cuts and taxes WASHINGTON (AP) - Congress returns today for an election-year bat- tle with President Reagan over budget cuts, taxes and spending priorities. Even before the president delivers his State of the Union address Tuesday night, congressional Democrats were maneuvering to focus attention on massive, politically unpopular domestic spending cuts in the fiscal 1987 budget Reagan will propose Feb. 4. SOME LEGISLATORS say it may take $80 billion in cuts to reduce the federal budget deficit to $144 billion next year, the target set by the new Gramm-Rudman budget-balancing law., Reagan's refusal to accept any revenue-raising tax increases or any slowdown in his military buildup, they say, almost certainly will result in a bitter and prolonged deadlock with Congress unless the president is willing to compromise. Senate, Finance Committee Chair- man Robert Packwood, (R-Ore.), said on NBC's "Meet the Press" that Congress would produce a tax revision bill by August at the latest. He said he told Reagan this weekend he could "get 89 percent of what the president wants without raising taxes." SEN. ERNEST Hollings, (D-S.C.), said on the same program, however, that he believed "a tax increase will be necessary if we are to comply with 'A tax increase will be necessary if we are to comply with Gramm-Rudman- Hollings.' -Sen. Ernest Hollings Gramm-Rudman-Hollings." White House Chief of Staff Donald Regan said on ABC's "This Week With David Brinkley" that the president wanted to fight the deficit and to stress "privatization" of government assets, such as Amtrak - selling them to the private sector. "If there is a tax increase that comes forward, albeit with a few deficit cuts, I think that he will look at it, but I don't think that he will buy it,'' Regan said. He expressed doubt that "the trigger's going to be pulled" to set in motion the automatic Gramm- Rudman cuts. LAWMAKERS "have to come to grips with the fact that it's a trillion- dollar budget and, by George, we just can't be spending that kind of money," Regan said. Sen. Pete Domenici, (R-N.M.), Senate Budget Committee chairman, said on the same program that com- promise was needed. He reiterated that the country "could easily stand an import fee on foreign oil." But he termed Gramm-Rudman "an ex- cellent tool" to force Congress to cut the deficit. House Majority Leader Jim Wright, (D-Texas), predicted that the deep cuts required by the measure would force Reagan to strike a deal with Congress. He said that if the tax revision bill became the focus of such a bargain "it would not only be all right, it would be highly desirable." LAWMAKERS ALSO are less than enthusiastic about Reagan's "privatization" plans to sell some government assets, such as the Ten- nessee Valley Authority, to private in- terests. "It's an admission that you're in pretty bad shape when you have to sell the garage to pay the mortgage," says House Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill Jr. White House officials say Reagan plans to make a comparatively brief, nationally broadcast address before a joint session of the House and Senate starting at 9 p.m. EST Tuesday. The 20-minute speech will deal in general terms with Reagan's themes and goals for the remaining three years of his presidency, they said. The president will outline his specific legislative proposals in a special, written message to Congress which he plans to sign in an Oval Of- fice ceremony on Wednesday. In advance of Reagan's speech, the Senate will meet Monday to take up legislation providing for the sale of Conrail, the government-owned rail freight system, to Norfolk Southern, an issue that may dominate its atten- tion all week. r.---- -- --- - ---- -- - -- - --- - when you're eating a iI 1I cookie with hot chocolate.

February 7 IN BRIEF COMPILED FROM ASSOCIATED PRESS AND UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL REPORTS Survey reports increase in arrests for domestic violence WASHINGTON - The number of police departments encouraging of- ficers to make arrests in cases of minor domestic violence has tripled in a year, a private research organization concluded. The survey of more than 140 cities by the Washington-based Crime Con- trol Institute found that 44 cities of more than 100,000 people surveyed in 1985 had policies encouraging arrests for minor domestic assaults, up from 14 of those cities in 1984. The survey also showed that the percentage of police departments reporting more arrests for domestic violence over the preceding year in- creased, from 24 percent of those surveyed in 1984 to 35 percent last year. The increase follows a finding in a widely publicized experimental program in Minneapolis that arrest was an effective deterrent to repeated domestic assault. Institute President Lawrence Sherman said that many factors may be influencing the shift to arrest policies, such as media attention to family violence, lawsuits against police departments for failing to make arrests and changes in state laws, some of them making arrest mandatory. Rebel replaces Uganda council NAIROBI, Kenya - The commander of the Ugandan rebel army said yesterday that he had replaced the 6-month-old ruling military council with one of his own and promised to form a broad-based government and punish criminals from previous regimes. Yoweri Museveni outlined his plans during a speech on the gover- nment-owned radio yesterday afternoon, a day after his National Resistance Army captured the capital, Kampala, and sent thousands of government soldiers fleeing. Deserting army troops were robbing and beating civilians and looting as they retreated, said a group of evacuees who reached Nairobi late yesterday afternoon from Northern Uganda. The Radio Uganda broadcast was monitored in Nairobi. It was the first time since midday Friday that the radio had been on the air and the first formal announcement to Ugandans that Kampala had fallen to the NRA. Earlier yesterday, Museveni met with U.S. Ambassador Robert Houdek, British High Commissioner Colin MacLean and a representative of the European Common Market, the British High Commission (em- bassy) in Nairobi said. The four discussed the evacuation of expatriates and restoration of electric, water and telephone services in the city, said the commission. Voyager examines Uranus arcs PASADENA, Calif. - Voyager 2 has found 10 arc-shaped pieces of rings around Uranus in addition to the 10 full rings encircling the planet, a scientist said yesterday as geologists studied the planet's cratered moons and their mountains, valleys and strange squarish features. "To date, we've got approximately 10 of these arcs," based on only par- tial examination of information collected by the space probe, said Jet Propulsion Laboratory scientist Arthur Lane. He said the arcs were about 30 to 36 miles long, all outside the nine rings discovered from Earth in 1977 and a 10th ring whose discovery by Voyager was announced Saturay. Burton Edelson, associate administrator for, space science for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, said earlier that Voyager "found evidence of 10 additional rings . . . with indications of many more to come." But Lane said scientists did not yet know if the arcs extended around the planet as complete rings. Portugal to hold runoff election LISBON, Portugal - A conservative candidate ran well ahead of three leftist rivals yesterday in voting for Portugal's first civilian president in 60 years, but fell short of enough votes for a first-round victory. With all but 50 of the 4,138 districts reporting, Diogo Freitas do Amaral had about 46.6 percent of the vote; former prime minister and Socialist Party leader Mario Soares 25 percent; Francisco Salgado Zenha 20.7 percent, and Maria de Lourdes Pintasilgo was a distant fourth wih 7.6 percent. To become president without a runoff election, a candidate had to poll more than half the votes cast by Portugal's 7.6 million eligible voters. Freitas do Amaral will now battle Soares in a second round on Feb. 16. The presidential eleciton was the third since Portugal returned to representative government following the 1974 overthrow of a rightist dic- tatorship that had ruled for half a century and the first in 60 years to elect a civilian head of state. After years of economic stagnation and decline following the jubilant days of the leftist-inspired April 1974 revolution, the Portuguese right is calling for a new beginning. Strikers urge Hormel boycott AUSTIN, Minn. - Meatpackers on strike against Hormel are calling for . a nationwide boycott of the company's products as they review a fact- finder's interpretation of a proposal to end the five-month walkout. National Guardsmen remained on duty yesterday outside Geo. Hormel & Co.'s flagship plant, with the midday temperature about 5 degrees below zero. Striking Local P-9 of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union had put demonstrations outside the plant, said local President Jim Guyet- te.~ Guyette and other union leaders spent Thursday and Friday with Hor- mel'officials and Arnold Zack, a Harvard University labor and law professor appointed by Gov. Rudy Perpich to clear up misunderstandings on a contract proposed by a federal mediator. Thecompany accepted the proposal in late December, but the 1,500- member local has rejected it twice, citing ambiguous language.
