peiriD Poddod SMqm Some airlines. Carnival Air Lines. noastops fire mnies 1 full meals 2or-l drinks By DAVE EtSENSTADT WASHINGTON New York's push for a new Penn Station lost its first round with the House GOP yesterday as a key committee slashed $50 million from the 1996 budget for the project The House transportation subcommittee erased every' dollar in President Clinton's request for Penn Station in its list of cuts to transportation projects and programs that benefit the city and the state. "These cuts will hurt every New Yorker who rides the subways, buses or takes Amtrak." said Rep. Nita Lowey (D-Westchester).

But yesterday's action is only the First go-round in the lengthy congressional funding process. The cuts approved by the House panel must be ratified by the full House, the Senate and friendly service free headphones Clinton to be enacted. Sens. Daniel Moynihan and Alfonse D'Amato repeated their threat yesterday to put pressure on the subcommittee chairman. Frank Wolf to restore the funds that would turn the old Farley Post Office into the new Penn Station.

Lawmakers on the panel chopped New York's share of federal mass transit subsidies by 44. to $52 million from this year $87.5 million. Nationally, transit subsidies fell by the same percentage, from $710 to $400 million. That federal subsidy keeps down subway fares that are expected to rise a quarter or more if the cuts are sustained throughout the lengthy congressional funding process. The panel also trimmed Amtrak funding nationwide from this year's $542 million to $398 million.

It slashed the Northeast Corridor Improvement Program 509, from $213 million to $106 million. "These cuts show a clear anti-urban bias," said Rep. Charles Schumer (D-Brooklyn). "Republicans are not cutting rural programs and the military' to this extent." Still, there was some good news amid the sweeping cuts. Rep.

Susan Molinari and Lowey secured multi-million-dollar projects for their districts. Molinari obtained $5 million to begin the Whitehall Ferry' terminal renovation. Lowey procured $4.5 million for a bus garage in Yonkers. Meanwhile. Molinari was expected to announce today the fate of a separate bill that funds Amtrak.
