The California apparently attempted to take the offramp too fast on the southbound Highway Patrol said the driver escaped injury and no other vehicles were Santa Ana Freeway near Los Angeles Thursday.

Weapon funds denial expected B1 delay casts doubt on funds WASHINGTON (AP) After voting to delay production of the controversial B1 bomber, the Senate now faces decisions on whether to approve other weapons requested by the Pentagon.

Votes are expected Monday on proposals to deny $322 million for production of 60 additional Minuteman III missiles and to delay building of additional Airborne Warning and Control System aircraft until NATO decides to buy the AW ACS for European defense. Reversing an earlier decision by the House, the Senate Thursday voted 44 to 37 to delay production of the B1 bomber until next Feb. 1, which is 12 days after the next presidential inauguration. Production of the first of a 244-bomber fleet could then proceed only if the president certified that it is in the national interest. production was not scheduled until November.

Tests of prototypes now are only about half completed and costs continue to mount, he said. Estimating the cost of the B1 program at $21.6 billion, Culver argued that Congress would be buying a pig in the poke in approving production before tests are completed and alternatives are reviewed. Before agreeing to delay the B1 program, the Senate voted 48-33 to turn down an amendment by Sen. George McGovern, to kill the B1 by denying all funding. Chairman John C.

Stennis, of the Senate Armed Services Committee, defended the B1 as an essential part of the nation's triad of strategic bombers, land and sea-based missiles. We want the best triad we can get, Stennis told the Senate. Sen. John Culver, D-Iowa, sponsor of the delaying amendment, said the proposal would allow the next president to review completed test data on the B1 and make a judgment free of election-year politics. The House voted 210-177 on April 8 against a similar proposal to defer spending $860 million in B1 production money until Feb.

1. The issue now goes to a House-Senate conference and will be subject to final votes in both chambers. After the Senate vote, Pentagon spokesman William Greener said, It was a shame that almost one-fifth of the Senate was not present to participate in the vote. Culver said the Pentagon already had decided to begin B1 production to replace the aging U.S. fleet of B52 bombers, although the decision on no option NEW YORK (UPI) Sen.

Edward M. Kennedy, responding to a published report today that he would accept a genuine draft for the Democratic presidential nomination, said the story was speculative and his decision not to become a candidate remains unchanged." According to a story in today's editions of the New York Daily News, the Massachusetts Democrat would accept a genuine draft for the nomination 'or would serve as a vice presidential nominee on a ticket headed by Sen. Hubert Humphrey. Kennedy spokesman Ed Martin, reached in Boston early today, quoted the senator as saying, I cant prevent speculation, but my position remains unchanged." Asked whether this was a complete denial of the Daily News story, Martin said, Thats right. The News, which did not quote a source for its story, attributed Kennedys change of heart from his earlier position against running because of two factors: apparent recovery of his 14-year-old son, Teddy, from bone cancer and the determination of his wife, Joan, in coping with the enormous pressure of his hectic political life." 1 The second factor was Kennedys growing concern that the sweeping -legislation that he and other Senate liberals have worked on for the last years would not get full support from (presidential candidate Jimmy) Carter.

The News said, however, that Kennedy will not lift a finger to either sanction a draft, or run on a ticket headed by Humphrey. Nor would he accept a bid to serve as a vice presidential running mate for any other Democrat, the paper said. Monster of a film premieres MILPITAS, Calif. (UPI) This sleepy suburban town will unleash a monster tonight. Its called The Milpitas Monster and hundreds of local residents plan to dress up in their finest for the world premiere complete with searchlights, red carpets and champagne of a movie they hope will put their town on the map.

That's why I made the movie, said Bob Burrill, to prove that were bigger in ways people never imagined. Burrill, a photography teacher at the local high school, was the driving force behind the movie, which was written, produced, directed, financed and filmed in Milpitas. According to the billboard advertisement, the movie features the city of Milpitas, the mayor, the mayor's daughter, and three daring students. The full-length, color and sound production was two years in the making and cost $11,000. It's brought the community together like nothing else, said Burrill, 30, who used his students, other teachers, city merchants, the entire Milpitas police department, a Highway Patrol helicopter, the mayors office, and a hometown cast of hundreds who played themselves.

The plot is all-too-familiar to low-budget horror film fans. A 50-foot monster, spawned by pollution surfaces from the marshes on a dark and stormy night to prey upon the panic-stricken town and steal the mayors distressed daughter. Tennessee Ernie Ford, a small-town boy himself, volunteered his voice for the narration. David Boston, a Hollywood screenwriter, helped with the writing. WASHINGTON (AP) California Gov.

Edmund Brown Jr. and Jimmy Carter, two contestants in Californias June 8 Democratic presidential primary, have tossed verbal barbs in each other's direction. The sparring took place Thursday the Democratic California governor making his criticism as he prepared to hop a plane for Oregon and Carter having his say at the Capitol and in Los Angeles. Before leaving to campaign for Tues-days Oregon primary, Brown questioned whether Carter had a federal reorganization plan. Carter -said he would make a strong challenge against Brown in California.

In an interview, Carter added he had over 900 delegates already lined up and Brown, who defeated him in the popular vote in the Maryland primary this week, only had one or one and a half delegates. The former Georgia governor also rejected suggestions he might curtail his California campaign, where polls give Brown a better than 2-1 edge over Carter. Instead, Carter said, he would spend $500,000 seeking votes in the California primary. Meanwhile, Morris Udall and Frank Church bowed out of a televised debate with Brown in Los Angeles next week, spokesmen said Thursday. Carter also said he would concentrate on New Jersey and Ohio, which also have June 8 primaries.

Udall also indicated he will make major efforts in those two states and did mention California while Church is-concentrating on the smaller primary states before June 8 to seek momentum for the California voting. Meanwhile, the candidates were seeking votes in some of the states that are holding their primaries this Tuesday, in addition to states voting on June 8. Both Carter and Church were scheduled to campaign in Oregon, but the former Georgia governor planned to fly later to San Francisco. Browns schedule took him to Nevada, while Udall, who spent Thursday campaigning in Kentucky and New Jersey, listed a day in Washington, D.C., on his agenda. Alabama Gov.

George C. Wallace was in his home state. President Ford was scheduled to spend the day in Washington, too, while Ronald Reagan, challenging Ford for the Republican nomination, planned campaign stops in Tennessee and Arkansas. About 18 per cent of all Democratic convention delegates will be chosen June 8, making it the biggest primary day in terms of numbers. Delegates in New Jersey and Ohio will be selected on a winner-take-all1 basis at the district level, while Californias delegation will be selected proportionally.

Carter, admitting Brown will get many of Californias delegates, told an Oregon news conference Wednesday, He will have to fight me for every one. Carter aides said he planned to spend at least $500,000 in the California fight. Udall said in a New Jersey campaign appearance Thursday that he plans to spend $150,000 to $200,000 of the federal matching funds he is due in that state. He added he would spend as many days seeking the 108 Jersey delegates as in search of the 152 Ohio delegates. A Udall spokesman in Washington denied Udall had written off California, but said no California campaigning is now planned.

Church is pinning his hopes on doing well in the next two weeks primaries, including ones in Oregon and his home state of Idaho, and carrying some momentum into California. Church's press secretary, Bill Hall, also denied the Idaho senator is bowing out of an active fight in California. "Of course, Gov. Brown starts with an advantage, he said. He (Church) is going for broke in California.

Church and Udall previously had agreed to be on a May 24th League of Women Voters program in Los Angeles, which will be televised by education television stations across the country. Girdle puts woman in bind GLEN ELLYN, ill. (AP) Bothered by a pinching girdle, a middle-aged woman slipped it off. But she made the mistake of doing it while driving her car, police said. The girdle ended up entangling the womans feet with the brake and accelerator pedals.

When she tried to kick it free she lost control of the car. Police said Thursday they saw a car lurching from one side of the road to another until it clipped off a mail box. They stopped the car and saw the woman's plight. We stretched the rules a bit and didn't give her a ticket, said an officer. "She was very embarrassed." Leftists stall Beirut truce with Arab states support Sen.

Barry Goldwater, who has piloted a B1 test model, supported production of the supersonic aircraft, but said he would rather see the program killed outright than delayed. He said B1 workers will face layoffs and begin quitting their jobs if Washington signals were not going to buy this plane or that we're going to delay four, five, or six months. In another action on the bill Thursday, the Senate rejected 36 to 39 an amendment by Sen. Bob Dole, to increase the Naval Reserve force from 79,500 to 102,000. Opposing the amendment.

Sen. Sam Nunn, said the additional Navy reserves would be in low priority units not needed and not wanted by the Navy and would cost $38 million a year. Culvers amendment was to a military procurement bill. Hind fierce Typhoon Pamela hits Guam AGANA, Guam (UPI) Typhoon Pamela raked the American island of Guam with 150 mile-an-hour winds today, churning up 10-foot waves that swept ashore and cut the islands main highway to the south. Authorities said at least 30,000 persons one third of the islands population were stranded in the southern portion when the highway was washed out.

There were no immediate reports of casualties from Pamela, which killed 10 persons when it hit the Caroline islands three days ago. About 1,500 miles west, a second typhoon Olga hit the island of Luzon in the Philippines. Flash floods from Olga already have killed 22 persons. In Guam, Typhoon Pamela with gusts up to 190 miles per hour slowed its forward progress to about six miles per hour as it approached the peanut shaped, 30-mile long island from the southeast, according to the weather bureau. The storm dumped heavy rains along coastal areas, uprooted trees, and threatened Guam's million-dollar vegetable crop.

Whipping into a super-typhoon as it rolled across the Pacific, Pamela hit Truk in the western Caroline islands 600 miles southeast of Guam Tuesday, touching off mudslides that killed at least 10 persons. Military and civilian authorities in Guam ordered residents to move into typhoon shelters and police were ordered to abandon their patrols and take cover. In the Philippines, Typhoon Olga, with winds of 87 miles an hour, hit 11 provinces as it roared inland today. Olga dumped more than 16 inches of rain on Manila in the last two days, producing flash floods that drove more than 20,000 persons from their homes. Sixteen of the storms 22 victims died in the rising waters.

Two light aircraft with 12 persons aboard were missing in stormy weather south of Manila. Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos declared a "state of calamity in the Manila area. termination to win a truce has at least temporarily reduced the level of fighting. The Moslem-controlled Beirut Radio credited Sarkis, a Christian, with a definite improvement in the security situation. His efforts also were praised by the Christian Phalange party's radio station.

Jumblatt had met Thursday with his Moslem forces, Communists, Socialists and Arab nationalists to consider Sarkis' proposals. Sarkis advanced his truce plan at a Wednesday night meeting with Junblatt and Palestinian guerrilla chief Yasir Arafat. Arafat, head of the Palestine Liberation Organization, went to Damascus Thursday to meet with Syrian leaders, who are trying to mediate an end to the war. Leaders of the Christians, who are in the minority but control the government and economy, have said they would not discuss a political solution until the fighting stops and the Palestinian refugees in Lebanon are brought under control of the government. The Moslems, with a 60 per cent majority, demand that the Christians agree to major political changes.

The House bill would allow the benefit if the babysitter is a relative who lives outside the home. The Senate panel, prompted by chairman Russell B. Long, voted to allow the benefit even if the sitter is a relative living in the home.

Aiming to end work on the tax bill within another week, the panel also approved a $270-million increased benefit for the 660,000 elderly Americans who receive a tax credit on their retirement income. The $1,524 retirement-income limit on which the 15 per cent credit is based, would be increased over a three-year period to $2,500 for a single person with similar boosts for couples. BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) Bolstered by pledges of support from radical Arab states, leftist Moslem forces delayed action today on a new truce to end Lebanon's civil war. Hisham Shaar, general director of internal security, said that the number of dead-reported by police from nearly 14 months of warfare exceeds 25,000, with 79,000 wounded. He said this terrible toll did not include casualties among Palestinian refugees or Palestinian guerrillas fighting with the Moslem forces.

Scattered fighting was reported between Moslem and Christian militias overnight, including battles with rockets and mortars around Moslem enclaves in the Christian-held half of Beirut. Police said the clashes killed at least 23 persons. The overall leader of the Moslem militants, Kamal Jumblatt, scheduled a meeting with Lebanese leftists, Palestinians and delegates of radical Arab states, calling it the Arab Front for Participation in the Palestinian Resistance. They were to discuss the Moslem-leftist posture toward a cease-fire plan proposed by President-elect Elias Sarkis. time.

The plan would eliminate the need to fill out a complicated separate tax form for child-care expenses. In continuing work on a sweeping House-passed tax-revision bill, the panel also voted to simplify filing of returns by reducing the number of tables a taxpayer must check to find how much tax he owes. Panel aides said the decision on childcare expenses would double to four million the number of families qualifying for the tax benefit. Current law allows a taxpayer to deduct from taxable income a portion of the costs of caring for children under 15 so that both parents or the sole parent can work. The deduction, which also is available for household-services expenses re Jumblatt's position was strengthened by strong new expressions of support from Iraq and Algeria.

Aly Ghannam, member of the ruling Iraqi Baath partys national command, arrived in Beirut for the front meeting and said Iraq supports the Lebanese nationalist movement and protection of the Palestinian resistance. Algerian envoy Mohammed Yazid returned to Beirut Thursday and delivered a message of support to Jumblatt from Algerian President Houari Boumedienne. Earlier this week, Libyan Prime Minister Abdul Salam Jalloud, during a Beirut visit, expressed support for Jumblatt "in war or peace. Iraq, Libya and Algeria are known to have been supplying Lebanon's Moslem-leftist side with arms and money. The entry by Iraq and Algeria through the new alliance highlights the political and diplomatic division in the Arab world over Lebanon.

Sarkis' peace plan, as reported in various Beirut papers, includes a ceasefire in place, renouncing of force by both sides, and a round-table discussion of reforms demanded by the Moslems. It appeared that Sarkis de quired to care for the child at home, is limited to $400 a month. Over a full year, the parents could reduce their income subject to federal taxes by $4,800. The Finance Committee agreed with the House that the deduction should be changed to a credit, subtracted directly from taxes owed. Under this plan, up to 20 per cent of child-care expenses could be subtracted from parents' income-tax bills.

The maximum tax savings would be $400 a year with one child or $800 for two or more. A family of four with $10,000 income, $1,700 of deductions for medical expenses and interest, plus child-care expense of $100 a month would pay $519 income tax under current law. Under the committee plan, tax liability would be cut to $347 a saving Child care tax break advances WASHINGTON (AP) Two million families are well on the way to receiving a $325-million tax break designed to offset some of the costs of children's day care. The break, aimed especially at helping working mothers in low-income families, could be worth up to $800 a year to those who are eligible. The Senate Finance Committee on Thursday accepted a House-passed provision that would liberalize the benefit and eliminate some of the red tape required to obtain it.

The new system would make the tax break available for the first time to families who do not itemize deductions, which includes most low-income families. Also, the benefits would be' ivailable for the first time to families where one or both parents work part- u..
