(AP) Democratic presidential candidate Jesse Jackson compared President Reagan on Thursday to an Egyptian pharaoh ignoring his moral obligation to help the poor.

WASHINGTON (AP) Senate decided there was no need for legislation declaring a two-year moratorium on the payment of telephone "access charges by consumers. Voting 4440, the Senate IJabled, or put aside, a bill sponsored by Sen. Robert Tackwood, R-Ore, calling for such a moratorium. The decision in effect leaves it to Federal Communications Commission to decide much, and when, consumers will pay the new access fees to their local $hone company. Members of the majority, by Sens.

Robert Dole, fi and Barry Goldwater, said they were satisfied the FCC would not do anything that would drive up telephone rates and force customers to give up service without first giving the matter careful study. They cited a vote by the FCC on Wednesday to postpone the new fees at least until mid-1985. The vote, which attracted FCC Chairman Mark S. Fowler to the Senate gallery, was considered a victory for the American Telephone Telegraph big business and the Reagan administration. It removes from election-year politics the.

The FCC's delay, he said, simply lengthens the transition period until consumers get socked with higher phone rates. Packwood said and large businesses had "lobbied well, but that was not the key.

"Pharaoh spoke last night," Jackson said of Reagan's State of the Union address Wednesday night. "I waited for some word for the downcast There was no help for the women. There was no help for the children." Jackson said access charges on residential and small business customers, raising the possibility that Packwood's bill could have been amended to include the same type of permanent ban.

After the vote, Packwood predicted that Congress would be forced to address the issue of access charges once again after the FCC is rising telephone rates, while also preserving the flexibility of the commission to decide the issue. and a coalition of large businesses, while unhappy with the FCC's decision to delay access charges until next year, feared the passage of legislation by Congress even more.
