Reagan won a victory in the GOP-dominated Senate Budget Committee Monday. But it was a bitter victory over conservative Republicans who have stood by him in past budget fights.

The Senate panel followed Reagan's wishes and voted down a proposal to balance the budget by 1984 by raising taxes and cutting more spending. Reagan had asked Congress to put any such plans on hold until January. But Republicans who have long argued for a balanced budget found that request hard to swallow and offered a plan anyway. It was rejected, 12-10, with most Republicans voting for the plan and against Reagan's request. The committee planned another meeting today to decide what to do next.

In the House, 18 of 192 Republicans voted against the additional cuts, providing the margin of victory. Twenty-nine of the 242 Democrats defected and voted with the GOP leadership for the cuts. prime rate.

Earthquake flurry from Mauna Kea reportedly dropping The flurry of earthquakes emanating from Mauna Kea was continuing today, although the drum graphs at the Hawaiian Volcano observatory indicate the ear-thquakes appear to be "a little smaller and occurring a little less frequently," according to Robert Decker, HVO scientist-in-charge. Decker said about 25 measurable tremors were registered by monitoring, stations in the past 24 hours, roughly one an hour. The series of earthquakes started about six miles beneath Mauna Kea's northeast flank Sunday.

The seismic activity was centered 20 miles northwest of Hilo and seven miles mauka of the Hamakua coastline, Decker said.

The vote was Reagan's first major budget defeat and raised the possibility of a presidential veto. The bill a "continuing resolution" was to be considered by the Senate Appropriations Committee today, but it appeared doubtful the extra cuts would come there either. "Clearly if the (spending) numbers are not reduced, it is much clearer today the administration is leaning toward a veto," a well-placed GOP source said.

Later, the source added, "The clear signal from the administration is that they want to veto this." The source said Reagan apparently is willing to force a situation that would show he could muster the political strength to sustain his vetoes and carry out his economic program.
