The Times Recorder Governors Support Freeze In Spending Section Monday, February 25, 1985 SCENE TODAY UBHBOBBB HEALTH CHECKS Gov. George Sinner of North Dakota, a newly elected Democrat, addressing the president's opposition to any tax Increases, said that "We have to say loud and clear, President, you're dead At a news conference, Carlin said he believed a majority of governors felt a federal tax increase would be needed to help cut budget deficits.

For the veto Individual items in appropriations bills.

It was worked out by Gov. John Carlin of Kansas, a Democrat who is chairman of the National Governors Association, and Gov. Richard Thornburgh of Pennsylvania, chairman of the Republican Governors Association. Asked later whether he thought the changes weakened the resolution, Thornburgh said, "I don't think you can get much stronger than saying (to Congress and the president) you've got to balance the budget." Thornburgh was the principal backer of the balanced budget amendment. It was MAKE SURE YOUR AD IS SCENE TODAY 1 news Items of broad local nows Interest and i local advertising, Scans.

As the Senate Environment Committee begins work Monday on legislation to reauthorize the program that expiresSept. 30, there is agreement on both sides that far more money is needed combat toxic wastes.

But how much more? Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee M. Thomas on Friday unveiled a plan to renew Superfund for five years at $5.3 billion, more than three times the $1.6 billion being spent under the current five-year program. Despite the proposed increase in a time of budget austerity, the administration's figure falls far short of what environmentalists say Is necessary and what the House and the Senate committee endorsed in legislation that died at the end of the last Congress. Environment Chairman Robert Stafford, has called the $5.3 billion proposal "inadequate."

ROTHBERO AP Political Writer. WASHINGTON (AP) After getting pessimistic reports from the chairmen of the Senate and House Budget committees, the nation's governors gave preliminary approval Sunday to a resolution calling for a federal budget freeze.

On a last minute vote, the executive committee of the National Governors Association called for Inclusion of Social Security cost-of-living adjustments in the freeze. Only Govs. Robert Graham of Florida and Richard Lamm of Colorado opposed the Social Security COLA freeze. Sen. Pete Domenict, chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, told the governors that a freeze would not be enough to bring the federal deficit below $150 billion.

Rep. William Gray III, chairman of the House Budget Committee, agreed that the freeze would not be enough to achieve the president's goal of a $50 billion reduction in federal spending in the next fiscal year. The budget resolution adopted by the executive committee was a bipartisan compromise that eliminated specific dollar recommendations many Democrats had been pushing. The resolution also included endorsement of a balanced budget constitutional amendment as well as of giving the president authority to the customs region that includes Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, confirmed Hollander's information and added that the orders to relax searchers came from customs headquarters in Washington early Sunday morning.

He had lost a lot of blood," said Ms. Chouinard. "When I gave him a class of orange juice, he made me sip it first. He thought we were going to try to drug him." The gunman was subdued by Dr. Laura Plasse and nurse Kay Maxon, who tackled him when he appeared faint, said William J.

Zwemke, executive director of the hospital. A maintenance man, Charles Russell, then wrested the rifle from the gunman, Zwemke said. A man who identified himself as Kelley's brother told hospital employees later that Kelley had fought with his mother earlier in the day and had put his hand through a piece of glass, said Ms. Chouinard. When police arrived at Kelley's house, "He was agitated, Incoherent," said Zabek.

"This was a miracle that nobody got hurt." He said Kelley forced the hostage into the man's pickup, and police followed: At one point, Kelley stopped the truck and flagged down a passing car, Zabek said. Kelley released a woman passenger, and the driver of the car and the first hostage fled. Kelley drove to the hospital alone, he said. During the chase, Kelley fired several shots at cruisers, police said. One bullet went through a police car windshield, over the head of a trooper and out the rear window, police said.

Zabek said police recovered a half-empty' 50-pound box of M-14 cartridges from the car that was taken to the hospital. Police counted seven bullet holes at the hospital five in a window, one in the admission desk and one in a floor.

The executive committee of the governors association earlier approved a resolution calling for reform of the federal tax system by moving to a modified flat tax. When the governors meet with President Reagan at the White House on Monday, Carlin said they would concentrate on "agriculture, Medicaid, the dispute with the administration on whether or not there is a surplus" in state treasuries. The Kansas Democrat said it was essential that the administration aid farmers facing bankruptcy "unless this country by policy simply wants to consider it a positive to wipe out a third or more of the American farmers." The president took a tough line in a radio address Saturday against any administration help for farmers beyond the short-term credit assistance program he announced earlier in the week.

"American taxpayers must not be asked to bail out every farmer hopelessly in debt," the president said. Republican Gov. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee said he was "very disappointed" the administration was arguing with the states over whether they have budget surpluses and therefore should give up federal assistance such as revenue sharing which the president wants to abolish. "I don't know how this got started," said Alexander. "It's an irrelevant issue." The governors contend that their budget surpluses are required by most state constitutions and would disappear quickly under pressure of federal budget cutbacks.

Democratic governors issued a report on Saturday questioning the surplus issue and Gov. Charles Robb of Virginia said the pool of money the administration was talking about was "simply not there." The tax reform proposal said the current federal income tax system "is complex, it is inefficient, and it is unfair." Like proposals already pending before Congress, the governors' plan would move to a modified flat tax with a top rate of 35 percent. "All exclusions, deductions and credits should be reviewed for inclusion in the tax base," the proposal said, sidestepping the controversial question of whether the deduction for state and local taxes should be eliminated.

As for taxes, the resolution said that "after the budget freeze and reforms have been enacted, It may be necessary to increase revenues to reduce the structural deficit." Later, Senate Majority Leader Robert Dole, told the governors "don't get any idea we're going to raise taxes. We've got to all we can on the spending side:" Several governors asked Dole if all programs were "on the table" for consideration as candidates for cut ting. is on table," Insisted Dole. the number of motorists. The wait at the San Ysidro border dropped to seven minutes at 9 a.m.

Sunday, "about a normal wait time on Sunday," Hollander said. However, traffic remained lighter than usual for a weekend, he said. There was no delay at the Otay Mesa border crossing, about six miles east of San Ysidro, Hollander said, noting that the recently opened station was not as well known. Motorists found the wait had decreased Saturday, when it took a half -hour to get across the border at noon. Border inspectors had searched the trunks, passenger compartments and even under the hoods of all cars entering the United States from Mexico.

On Feb. 16, the searches were limited to autos belonging to non-U. S. citizens, but U.S. citizens still were required to wait In line to reach the inspectors.

This weekend's traffic had dropped an estimated 10,000 cars from the usual 30,000 inspected by customs on typical weekend days, Fleming said Saturday, attributing the drop to publicity surrounding the border jams last weekend. "Even at the worst peak period of delays, Friday evening, the maximum wait to clear customs was about seven hours" in San Ysidro, the busiest port of entry, he said. By BETSY D.

Zanesvllle police said Swope was driving a Goodwill Industries' truck south on Linden Avenue and tried to hopes to complete work this week on a bill containing at least $7.5 billion for Super-fund. The pricetag is expected to be set even higher in the House, which last year voted 323-44 for a bill authorizing a $10.2 billion Superfund. The author of that bill, Rep.

James Florio, says the EPA plan will not "provide the resources necessary" to make much headway cleaning up the estimated 22,000 abandoned toxic dumps. Florio and other critics of the administration plan say that at the funding level proposed by EPA, it will take about 30 years to clean up just the 2.2O0 facilities that are expected to be on EPA's priority list. Thomas, who headed the Superfund for two years before taking over as EPA chief earlier this month, has said repeatedly that $5.3 billion is all the agency can effectively spend over five years. Closely related to the funding level question is how the money will be raised to pay for an expanded Superfund. Under the program started in 1980, the Treasury and states pay about one-eighth of the cost, with the rest raised from the so-called "feed stock" tax on petroleum and 42 basic chemicals that are the building blocks for other toxic substances.

The administration is proposing to end the federal contribution; double the states' share; continue the feed stock tax at the present level of about $300 billion annually; and, despite President Reagan's campaign pledge of no tax increases, create a new levy to finance much of the expanded cleanup effort.

Members of Congress have criticized the waste end approach as an uncertain revenue source, while the handlers' trade group, the Hazardous Waste Treatment Council, termed it an easy-to-evade, "pie in the sky" proposal. Once Florio and Stafford set proposed funding levels in their bills, the real battle will occur in the House Ways and Means and Senate Finance committees over the tax structure. There, struggles will involve not only the administration and congressional opponents but lobbyists for the waste handlers and the American Petroleum Institute and Chemical Manufacturers Association.
