With 226 of the county's 305 precincts counted, even the least popular issues $28 million for park development and recreation and $24.9 million for flood control were getting approval from more than 60 percent of the voters. The county experienced computer problems that delayed the counting of the votes well past the expected time. But it was apparent from the beginning that voters would pass all the county measures, while overwhelmingly rejecting the city's one cityv Getting the tally Supervisor David Yetman calls Moore to learn the Speedway i hy Kill i 'a5T7 rx i. Murphy criticizes law requiring tunnel vote Panel OKs tax reform, limits IRAs Compiled from wire reports WASHINGTON The Senate Finance Committee gave final approval early today to the biggest tax-overhaul bill in more than 30 years, a package that would take away several widely used deductions but slash the top individual tax rate almost in half.

The measure was approved on a unanimous 28-1 vote after a day of wrangling in which the panel repealed the deductions allowed for state and local sales taxes and most Individual Retirement Accounts. It would preserve the write-off for home mortgage Interest and state and local income and property taxes. The bill, chiefly the work of Finance Committee Chairman Bob Pack wood, R-Ore, is modeled after the one President Reagan sent to Congress last year as the top legislative initiative of his second term. It goes considerably beyond the version passed by the House last December. There was no effort to re-See SENATE, Page 4A Nogales, Son.

public safety director slain By James H. Maish The Arizona Daily Star NOGALES, Sonora The top police officer in this city was fatally shot at his office yesterday, and an officer who had been under investigation for misconduct was immediately arrested for the shooting, Mexican officials said. Victoriano Navarro, public safety director for Nogales, Sonora, was shot three times in the chest. He died about an hour after the shooting during surgery at Holy Cross Hospital in Nogales, authorities in Arizona said. The suspect, Jose Luis Acosta Noris, was being investigated for misconduct and for "abuse of authority," said Mayor Cesar Dabdoub Chavez of Nogales, Sonora.

Some public complaints alleged that he had beaten suspects and routinely speeded with his official vehicle, Dabdoub said. The shooting was the third incident to rock this border city's police this year. Navarro was assigned about four months ago to reorganize the 240-member force after an earlier scandal. "He suffered the consequences of trying to correct an anomaly within the department," Dabdoub said. "It's a painful incident that fills all of us here with great sorrow." Sonora officials yesterday were holding Acosta, a nine-year police veteran assigned to the department's investigations unit.

Dabdoub said Acosta, whose age See OFFICER, Page 4A "Prime-time" attack.

Conrad Joyner, chairman of the Bond Advisory Committee that put the package together over an 18-month period, summed up the evening by saying, "Tonight was a grand slam for progress." County Supervisor Iris Dewhirst said, "I'm very plesed at the way the community has decided to catch up with our growth. The people apparently understand the issues." Supervisor David Yetman said he was "surprised" at the degree of the success of all seven bonds the largest such measure in the county's history. Apparently a major selling point for passage of the $165.4 million in general obligation bonds covering See PIMA COUNTY, Page 2A 1 1 p.m.

A final count was expected later last night. The vote was the first test of the new Neighborhood Protection Amendment passed last year. It requires voter approval before design work can begin on any local limited-access road. Republican Tucson Mayor Lew Murphy last night criticized the law, devised by Rep. John Kromko, D-Tucson, and said he expects it now to be challenged in court because of the tunnel outcome.

Reagan calls summit a 'triumph in Tokyo' By Chip Warren The Arizona Daily Star By a margin of better than 2-1, city voters yesterday turned thumbs down on the proposed $35.8 million Speedway tunnel near the University of Arizona campus. With about 15 percent of the precincts reporting last night, the six-lane project, which would have run between North Campbell and North Euclid avenues, was being rejected on 70 percent of the ballots.

Computer problems had prevented any further counting of the vote on the tunnel proposition as of lied unity" in economic, agricultural and other areas. "All that we sought at the summit was achieved," he said. On an issue that hovered in the background at the summit, the president also said that in recent days, the Soviet Union has been more forthcoming in providing information about the nuclear accident at Chernobyl. Responding to a question on whether the United States has been "bashing" the Soviet Union for propaganda purposes, Reagan replied, "We're not bashing at all." The president had harshly criticized the Soviets earlier for failing to provide information about the af- See SUMMIT ENDS, Page 3A mssnz Plucky peacock.

The Associated Press TOKYO President Reagan declared last night that the annual economic summit was a "triumph in Tokyo" that will lead to concerted action against terrorism. At a news conference summing up his three days of meetings with the leaders of six other allied nations, Reagan said that as a result of the sessions, "we are going to treat with it (terrorism) on a united front." Even though the joint statement made no mention of specific antiterrorism steps, the president said the leaders discussed all "possible tools or weapons." Reagan refused to divulge whether any specific counterter-rorist steps had been discussed by Chernobyl disaster, soviet officials say chemicals may have played a part in the Chernobyl disaster, and admit evacuation efforts were delayed because the staff did not realize the severity of the accident.
