Moammar Khadafy, dressed in a blue-and-green ski suit and wearing an admiral's cap, sailed Saturday to meet the U.S.

6th Fleet in a 350-ton patrol boat armed with four missiles. "Libya cannot be patient forever to live under America's international terrorism," the Libyan leader told a shipboard news conference in Misurata harbor, 125 miles east of Tripoli. "I am going out to the parallel 32.5, which is the line of death, where we will stand and fight with our backs to the wall."

It runs from Misurata to Benghazi, on the eastern side of the gulf, and encloses what is "indisputably part of Libyan territory," Khadafy said. Khadafy delivered his new challenge to the United States a day after the U.S.

6th Fleet announced naval air exercises off the Libyan coast, including the Gulf of Sidra. "The Gulf of Sirte Sidra is part and parcel of Libyan territory," Khadafy said. "We call on the international community to prevent the United States carrying out military maneuvers inside Libya's economic zone which stretches to the continental shelf of Malta and Italy." There was no indication whether said BMH epidemiologist Susan Bossung. The man who had been admitted to Ball Hospital about 10 days ago was tested twice for AIDS, Bossung said. Results of both tests were positive.

Because the patient also suffered from "Pneumocystis carnii" pneumonia an ailment prevalent among AIDS victims physicians here recommended that he be transferred to an Indianapolis hospital where he could be treated by an infectious disease specialist, something BMH does not have. He was not transferred because -he had AIDS, officials said. Ball Hospital's epidemiology department has been working for about a year to help educate the public about AIDS, Bossung said. The hospital last week hosted a conference at which officials said people should become better assess how well Congress has done in meeting the $144 billion target. If they determine that adequate cuts haven't been made, then Congress has only until Oct.

1 to cut more deeply or the blind, automatic cuts take effect. Some programs would be spared these cuts: principally Social Security benefits and some aid for the poor, the handicapped and the elderly. "This timetable is like riding a bullet," said Sen. Donald W. Riegle, D-Mich.

"Today, we're starting with the same impasse we had last year that produced Gramm-Rudman There's a whole big set of glitches right in front of us." It was the failure of Congress to make politically difficult spending cuts last year that led to the budget-balancing legislation. But the measure that drew such wide bipartisan support from Congress in December is now being viewed Tinsman owes farmers more than $600,000 for grain he bought but never paid for. Tinsman said that because of creditors' liens, he could not sell the grain in his name and keep control of the money. "At first, Jack Rafferty would sign the checks and turn them back over to me," Tinsman said. "But there got to be a problem a time problem with the mail and everything.

So Jack gave me a rubber stamp." Tinsman said the rubber stamp of Rafferty's signature allowed him to endorse Rafferty's name to the checks and then sign his own name so the checks could be cashed. 48 Pages Plus Comics, TeleText, Challenger Liftoff Delayed By HOWARD BENEDICT AP Aerospace Writer CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -NASA received a gloomy weather forecast Saturday night and postponed for 24 hours today's scheduled launch of space shuttle Challenger with schoolteacher Christa McAuliffe as a passenger. The outlook had been marginal all Saturday, but shuttle managers Related Article on Page 3 A took one more look at 10 p.m. (Muncie time) and decided chances were slim for a liftoff today.

The decision was made shortly before the launch crew was to begin loading 500,000 gallons of fuel. The problem was a frontal system moving toward Cape Canaveral from the northwest, packing rain and thunderstorms. The launch was rescheduled for 9:37 a.m. Monday. Poor weather in North Africa, the location of two emergency landing sites, had already delayed 'Challenger's liftoff 1 day.

Clouds and rain forced two of sister ship Columbia's record seven launch postponements earlier this month. Forecasters said the weather here should be clear Monday after the front passes through late today. Challenger's seven crew members were briefed on the weather Saturday, studied their flight plan and underwent medical examinations. During 6 days in space they are to deploy a satellite to observe Halley's comet and another to become part of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's space-based shuttle tracking network. Public interest has focused on McAuliffe, a 37-year-old high school teacher from Concord, N.H.

She was selected from 11,146 teacher applicants to be the first to fly on the shuttle in NASA's citizen-in-space program. From her orbiting classroom, she will teach two lessons which students in hundreds of schools will watch on Public Broadcasting Service. She also will make a demonstration film for distribution to schools after the mission. "The lessons will be a whole crew activity," she said. "The first will be a field trip of the spacecraft.

I'll start on the flight deck and tell about life aboard the shuttle. The second lesson Why We Are In Space I'll start with the Wright brothers and the progress we've made and look ahead to the space station." More than 600 teachers and 4,000 students from around the country were here to watch the launch, as were McAuliffe's attorney husband, Steve, and their children, Scott, 9, and Caroline, 6. Challenger's other crew members are commander Dick Scobee, pilot Mike Smith, Judy Resnik, Ellison Onizuka, Ron McNair and Greg Jarvis. By JULI NORTH METZGER Star Staff Reporter A young man believed to have been a victim of AIDS died early Saturday in an Indianapolis hospital. He was the first Delaware County resident to have been diagnosed as having acquired immune deficiency syndrome, according to officials at Ball Memorial Hospital.

Test results that would confirm the diagnosis have not returned, said Sheryl Swingley, assistant director of public relations at BMH. Those findings are expected within the next 2 weeks, she said. Ball Hospital officials consider the patient's identity arid the Indianapolis hospital at which he was being treated to be confidential information.

any vessel of the 6th Fleet was in the area, and Khadafy did not indicate what he would do if he met one. The United States and all other Western powers have refused to recognize Khadafy's claim to the strategic gulf as within Libyan territorial waters beyond the traditional 12-mile limit. In Washington, State Department spokesman Anita Stockman said she had no comment on Khadafy's trip or what he had to say about it. In addition to the dispute over Libyan rights to the Gulf, Khadafy said he was proclaiming "a new confrontation with the United (See KHADAFY on Page 3A) Victim Dies educated about the disease. While there is no known cure for AIDS, many of the secondary or opportunistic diseases common to AIDS patients including cancers, skin infections and pneumonia are treatable.

These diseases often are the first signs of AIDS and are the primary cause of death for many AIDS patients. Homosexual and bisexual men account for 73 percent of the known AIDS cases. Intravenous drug abusers account for 17 percent; transfusion recipients 2 percent; heterosexual contacts with people who have AIDS account for 1 percent; hemophiliacs account for 1 percent and contacts of undetermined nature account for 6 percent. Those with questions or concerns about AIDS may call the BMH epidemiology department at 747-4464. Nervous with increasing alarm by lawmakers and administration officials.

Even budget director James C. Miller III, an outspoken champion of reducing the role of government, is expressing some reservations. He told senators last week the administration might have to seek emergency spending authority in the coming weeks to protect crucial programs from indiscriminate cuts. Funds to keep the Internal Revenue Service from having to cut back on tax processors at the height of the tax-return season or to keep airport control towers fully staffed with flight comprollers were among the "emergencies" administration officals said might have to be addressed. Congressional Republican leaders have made it clear the cuts and program eliminations the administration is expecting to propose in the Feb.

4 budget many recycled from last year just won't fly. Told that Rafferty had denied his involvement, Tinsman smiled and said he wasn't surprised. He said he and Rafferty were friends and business associates, but that it appeared Rafferty was trying to protect himself. Asked the extent of the grain sales through Rafferty's name, Tinsman said "thousands, maybe a million "I wasn't trying to hide that money," Tinsman said. "I paid off the IRS all $73,000 I didn't do anything that most farmers don't do.

They'll put some of the (See GRAIN on Page 4A) Make Some Officials 'JfrAiJi Deadlines annual deficit nearing $220 billion be trimmed to $144 billion by Oct. 1. Named for original sponsors Sen. Phil Gramm, R-Texas, and Sen. Warren Rudman, the law requires a balanced federal budget by 1991.

The next major date in the Gramm-Rudman calendar is Feb. 4, when the president will submit his 1987 budget to Congress. It will outline cuts the administration plans for meeting the $144 billion deficit target. But the president's budget expected to propose the elimination of more than 24 federal programs and the sale to private industry of other governement functions has already run into congressional opposition. In past years, presidential budgets have been pronounced "dead on arrival" when they get to Capitol Hill.

This year, some prominent Tinsman and Rafferty in April 1985 in Delaware Superior Court 1. The suit claims Tinsman deposited a $20,000 check from Rafferty and then drew out more than $19,000 before Merchants Bank discovered there were insufficient funds to cover the check. Tinsman denied that selling grain in Rafferty's name was wrong. He said Rafferty allowed his name to be used on the grain checks "to help me out." But a man who identified himself as Jack Rafferty in a telephone interview with The Star denied knowledge of the arrangement. "I wasn't aware of that," Rafferty said.

"That could cause prob Deficit Cut By TOM RAUM AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON U.S. policy makers Saturday voiced growing disenchantment with the Gramm-Rudman law, now that the clock running on its automatic spending cuts might be impossible to beat. Next Saturday, President Reagan must order the first round of cuts under the law $11.7 billion that would lop close to 5 percent off several federal programs. But the impact shorter hours for the national parks, reduced government weather broadcasts, fewer federal food and job-safety inspections and a federal hiring freeze are among those frequently mentioned would be tiny compared to the mammouth cuts of 20 percent to 25 percent that might come Oct. 1.

That's the beginning of the government's 1987 fiscal year, and Gramm-Rudman requires that the October. The farmer said Tins-man's grain truck had been seen at an elevator in Delaware County. An initial investigation revealed that Tinsman was selling grain in Raf-ferty's name. The Star confirmed the arrangement last week. Tinsman talked about his use of Rafferty's name after The Star provided him with court documents that indicated records of his grain sales to Farmers Elevator in southern Delaware County had been subpoenaed.

The records were subpoenaed by an attorney for Merchants National Bank in Muncie. The request is part of a civil suit the bank filed against GOP leaders have declared this year's budget dead before arrival. It will be "a vehicle for repudiation," contended Senate Budget Committee Chairman Pete V. Domenici, But there's a major difference. This year, Congress does not have the luxury of engaging in extended combat with the administration.

The Gramm-Rudman timetable is fast-paced and unforgiving. It requires that Congress: Complete action on its version of the president's budget outline by April 15, a process that usually isn't finished until midsummer. Enact by June 30 the 13 separate appropriations bills necessary to carry out the spending cuts contained in the budget. Seldom in recent years has Congress finished work on even half of these spending bills by midautumn. On Aug.

20, congressional and White House budget offices will lems for me." Tinsman spoke to The Star in an interview at his Farmland real estate and auctioneering office. "I did it because of the IRS," he said. "Those guys came in here and locked this place up. I had to do something so I could get the money. I couldn't sell the grain under Tinsman Feed and Grain because they'd get it.

I did it because that money needed to go to the farmers. I wanted to pay the farmers I owed." Last July, The Star published a series of articles on the collapse of Tinsman's financial dealings in western Randolph County. According to a state agency's audit, Lien-Burdened Elevator Owner Diverted Grain Sales By DOUG TONEY The Star's State Editor FARMLAND, Ind. A grain elevator owner who has owed farmers more than $600,000 since 1982 has sold grain worth sands, maybe a million" dollars in a business associate's name to avoid the Internal Revenue Service. John P.

Tinsman told The Star he had sold grain to several elevators and had the grain checks made out to Jack Rafferty, a former Farmland resident who lives in the Indianapolis area. The Star began investigating Tinsman's grain sales after a farmer contacted a reporter in.
