38i Yaw No. Chicago Tun Sacdont 13 Judge frees mental patient who killed 2 v- I 17 after his wife complained to authorities that he had threatened to kill her. The treatment plan the judge outlined for Valdes is identical to the one that failed to result in any psychiatric treatment for Valdes for the better part of 1984, even though routine examinations had been ordered as a condition of his court-ordered release from a mental institution three years ago. In addition, the judge continued to entrust Valdes' psychiatric care to Dr. Kenneth Rivers of the University of Chicago, the doctor who failed to conduct an intital examination of Valdes until Dec.

By Bonita Brodt Circuit Court Judge Earl Strayhorn ruled Monday that an ex-mental patient who killed two people in 1977 can continue to live in freedom, rejecting arguments that the man had again become dangerous. As a result of that decision, Miguel Valdes, whom Strayhorn found not guilty by reason of insanity 6Vi years ago for the dismemberment slaying of a nurse and the shooting death of a doctor, was ordered discharged from Cook County Jail. He had been held there since Jan. 8, seven months after he was ordered to begin routine treatment and file monthly reports with the court. Judge Strayhorn, who is known for his candor from the bench, was particularly outspoken in his remarks Monday as he referred to disclosures by The Tribune that documented how all parties judge, defense and prosecuting attorneys were unaware that Valdes was not receiving psychiatric care because they had lost touch with the case.

"Of that charge of being remiss, the court pleads guilty," Judge Strayhorn said. "Fortunately, nothing unusual came about as a result of that oversight." As a result, the judge said he will keep A closer watch on Dr. Rivers' evaluations to ensure that Valdes' conditon is monitored frequently. But the judge then went on to say that he would not be swayed by media coverage of the controversial nature of the Valdes case. "To take away the liberty of an individual is a serious thing," the judge said.

Meese ethics probe renewed A Senate committee revives ethics questions about Edwin Meese, President Reagan's nominee to be attorney general. Page 3. By George de Lama Chicago Tribune WASHINGTON President Reagan stepped up the battle of the budget Monday, personally lobbying business leaders, bankers and lawmakers to build support for a White House spending plan that would cut funding by $51 billion next year. Reagan and key Republican congressional leaders also appeared to dig in for an impending battle over defense spending, with Senate Republicans announcing that the issue separating them from Reagan was proposed funding for the Pentagon. The White House will issue a budget proposal next week that will call for deep funding cuts in a host of government social programs, although it is expected to propose relatively small cuts in defense spending.

White House visit by businessmen was viewed as part of an Oval Office campaign designed to take the President's case directly to the various, groups affected by government spending. Business organizations have called for government spending cuts because of their concern about the effects of growing budget deficits. At the meeting with businessmen, bankers and savings and loan executives, Reagan thanked them for their support for his first-term economic programs and, calling for their help in pushing his budget plan through Congress, he said, "We're going to be asking you a great deal more." Businessmen briefed by Treasury Secretary Donald Regan and Budget Director David Stockman at the White House said the President would propose $51 billion in spending cuts for fiscal year 1986 and a $178 billion budget deficit for the year. The savings would increase to about $100 billion by 1988, leaving a deficit of 7 roughly $140 billion then some $40 billion short of the goal Reagan had set several weeks ago. White House spokesman Larry Speakes said he would not quarrel with those figures, but he added that Reagan still hoped to meet his $100 billion deficit goal 2 percent of the gross national product by 1988.

He did not explain how that might be accomplished. David Roberts, chairman of the National Association of Realtors, promised a "grassroots groundswell" of support for Reagan's budget proposals. But John Koelemij, president of the National Association of Homebuilders, said his board of directors was in favor of an across-the-board freeze on all areas of the budget, including Pentagon spending and Social Security benefits. Reagan met later with Republican lawmakers in the White House, and afterward Sen. John Heinz of Pennsylvania said Senate Republicans may finish work on their alternative budget proposal within a few days, threatening to make Reagan's budget obsolete by the time it reaches Congress next week.

In return, the sources said, the city will drop its lawsuit against the present owner, Hasbro Bradley of Pawtucket, R.I. Also, Chicago's Playskool experience has cities thinking twice about bonds.

Sec. 2, pg. 3. -a coalition of West Side organizations will call off its boycott of Lincoln Logs, GI Joe and other toys made by the company. The city was angered because Playskool's former owner, Milton Bradley had received $1 million through low-interest, city-backed bonds in 1980, specifically to create more jobs.

The closure was seen as a breach of this agreement. Hasbro Bradley is believed to be the first firm in the nation to be sued for moving its operations from a city after benefiting from an industrial revenue bond. Out of more than 120 Chicago firms that have received financing through such bonds, only five other firms have closed. Overall, the companies have received about $220 million in loans since 1977, officials said. Hasbro Bradley announced in September that it would close the plant at 4501 W.

Tape of captive envoy raises hopes By John Schmeltzer The separate interests of west suburban entrepreneurs and the owners of the White Sox have been brought together in discussions about possible construction of a domed sports stadium and civic center complex in Du Page County, area business and political leaders said Monday. The discussions grow out of the desire of White Sox owners for a facility to replace Comiskey Park and the belief of business leaders that such a civic center could become "Mc-Cormick Place West." County officials have begun preliminary negotiations with Eddie Einhorn, White Sox co- owner, and officials of Dallas-based Trammell Crow Co. Einhorn, however, has downplayed the significance of the talks.

The stadium-civic center complex is being proposed for one of two sites, both partially or wholly owned by Trammell Crow, which is developing the Hamilton Lakes office and hotel complex at Int. Hwy. 290 and Thorndale Avenue, near Itasca in Du Page County. One site, about 200 acres, is about a half mile northeast of the intersection of 1-290 and Thorndale. Adjacent to the site is the Hamilton Hotel, owned by Continued on page 10, col.
