Rep. Paul Simon, D-Ill, a liberal member of the House Budget Committee, was critical of the budget.

He said: "The president's budget better gauges the public mood (Continued on A-3, column 2) 5 Mayfield wont seek new term Staff photo by Oon Black S.B.

Carter's budget proposal for the 1981 fiscal year was the largest in the nation's history represented a $52 billion increase over this year's federal spending.

Military funding got the biggest boost, growing from $127.4 billion in 1980 to $142.7 billion in 1981. There was little new money for most domestic programs, but dollars were found for job training, housing and revenue sharing programs to mollify key Democratic factions. Among San Bernardino County projects listed in the budget were $44 million for activation of Fort Irwin as a National Army Training Center and $11 million for additional work on the experimental solar energy plant at Daggett. Ground work has already begun on the solar project. The budget projected a $16 billion deficit next year, the final admission that Carter has been unable to fulfill his 1976 campaign promise to balance the budget.

This year's deficit, which Carter had expected to hold close to last year's $27.7 billion, now is projected to exceed $40 billion. The sharp increase was blamed in part on U.S. spending for grain purchases and Pakistani aid in the wake of the Soviet Union's military intervention in Afghanistan. And although the budget document acknowledged that continuation of inflation at more than 10 percent this year would push most Americans into higher tax brackets by 1981, it proposed no tax cut. Tax and other revenues are expected to increase to $600 billion in fiscal 1981, which begins Oct.

1. Some $14 billion will come from the so-called "windfall profits tax" that Congress is expected to levy on oil-company earnings. Personalr income tax collections are ex-r pected to rise 15 percent above the 1980 level to $274.4 billion next year. This increase in revenue will occur, the administration says, despite the likelihood of a mild recession in the first half of 1980 and sluggish recovery into 1981. "If the economy begins to deteriorate significantly, I will consider tax reductions and temporary spending programs for job creation targeted toward particular sectors of economic stress," Carter promised in his budget message.

"But I believe current economic conditions argue for restraint." Reaction to Carter's budget was tually give way to release a wall of mud that the basin could not hold. About 25 firemen were expected to remain at the basin all night. The eroding canyon is also a threat to homes there. After the last storm, a corral at one home had fallen away and the cliffs had eaten close the the patio of another home. Although the residents had been asked to leave the Hampshire area, several families remained behind to fill and stack sandbags and prop plywood sheets across glass doors and windows.

However, the pipe was finally unclogged Monday and was carrying water away from the basin Monday evening. But firemen feared the biggest danger to the neighborhood was farther up Harrison Canyon. The canyon becomes steep and narrow and the walls were sloughing off into the channel.

One fireman said he could hear the walls gradually falling away. If a large portion of the canyon wall collapsed, it could temporarily back up the runoff, then even to Harrison Street. Firemen, including Chief Ray Shaw who will retire this week, worked in the basin witji shovels and pitchforks to keep debris from completely clogging the mouth of a pipe that carries water from the basin to the nearby wash. The pipe has been a topic of controversy between some Hampshire Avenue residents and the county Flood Control District. Residents have been fighting to get the pipe unclogged, saying it is a critical part of the basin and their By JAN CLEVELAND Sun Staff Writer North San Bernardino homes were once again threatened by mudslides Monday evening when heavy rains loosened debris on the hills above them and sent it rolling down the streets.

San Bernardino Fire officials asked residents of Hampshire Avenue to leave their homes about 7 p.m. Monday after the Harrison Flood Control Basin filled with mud, and water began flowing over the top of the spillway again. The basin last overflowed on Jan. 14, when 31 homes on Hampshire and Golden Avenues were damaged. It also overflowed Jan.

9, but no homes were damaged. Fire officials requested three buses be made available to move residents from the neighborhood to an evacuation center to be set up by the Red Cross at Our Lady of Assumption Catholic Church for the second time in two weeks. At 8 p.m. the buses were waiting, lined up on 39th Street at Golden Avenue, but only a handful of people had gone to Mitchell School, hich was to be the gathering point for evacuees. Mud was also reportedly threatening homes on Camillia and Bonita Vista Avenues, but there were no reports of evacuations there.

City Street Superintendent Merle Cornelison said Monday night that a skip loader and motor grader were at work on those streets clearing the sand away. "Those homes don't appear to be in danger," he said. By 8 p.m. a steady stream of water was pouring over the spillway and running down Hampshire Kennedy unmercifully rips President Carter's policies Sun news services WASHINGTON Sen. Ted Kennedy, his voice dripping with scorn and sarcasm for President Carter for the first time, lambasted an "empty" foreign policy and demanded a government-controlled economy to stop inflation.

Speaking to some 500 cheering friends at Georgetown University a week after his 2-to-l defeat by Carter in Iowa, Kennedy said he was in the presidential race to stay and swore "I have only just begun to fight." On foreign policy, Kennedy said: Carter's policy was one of hostages in Tehran are freed. Described the Soviet invasion in Afghanistan as a "wanton act of aggression," but added that the Soviets have dominated that country "not for four weeks, but for 22 months "It passed behind the Iron Curtain, not in 1980 but in 1978 with hardly a word of regret from the Carter administration." On domestic policy, Kennedy: For the first time advocated mandatory wage and price controls for six months. "The voluntary guidelines have run their (Continued on A-2, column 2) "exaggerated dangers and empty symbols."

The commission would be authorized to begin work as soon as American By BILL ROGERS Sun Staff Writer SAN BERNARDINO County Supervisor James Mayfield announced Monday he will not seek re-election this year in his desert-mountain district because he intends to run for the state Senate in 1982. The disclosure came as a shock and surprise equal to that of Supervisor Dennis Hansberger's recent announcement that he will not run for reflection in his East Valley district.

The two supervisors, both approaching the end of their second four-year terms, are the county board's senior members in terms of length of service. Mayfield said that if he remained on the board, his plan to campaign for the Senate seat would interfere with his job as a supervisor "and I don't want to compromise my district by being a part-time supervisor. "If I were elected to the Senate while still on the board," the 42-year-old Apple Valley officeholder added, "the board would have to appoint my successor, and I feel the voters instead should choose my successor." In addition, Mayfield said he wants to devote more time to his growing land investment and development business before a Senate campaign. "I expect to build a good financial base in my investments that will allow me to go on to other challenges," he said. The announcement is expected to trigger an additional rush of office-seekers into the First Supervisorial District race in which eight candidates already have indicated they will vie for Mayf ield's board seat in the June 3 primary election.

Mayfield served some 10 years as a sheriff's deputy and sergeant before first winning election to the board in 1972 from the district that includes the county's entire desert region and most of its mountain communities. Now in his second year as board chairman, he intends to stay in office until his current term expires next December. His plan, he said, is to stari campaigning next year for the 16th District seat from which he understands that state Sen.

Christopher said that a refusal to compete in Moscow will "send a signal to the Soviets that the United States will only send our athletes to a civilized country." Nonetheless, Christopher said the United States does not intend at present to invoke passport restrictions to bar American athletes and spectators from traveling to Moscow. He said that while that may be an alternative for the future, "we have no present intention of restricting the right of any American to travel to the Olympic Games in Moscow." Col. Donald Miller, executive director of the U.S. Olympic Committee, made clear that in its unanimous vote Saturday the USOC did not call for boycotting the Olympics outright. He said that most of the world's Olympic committees oppose a boycott if the Olym- (Continued on A4, column 1) WASHINGTON (AP) The Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted 14-0 on Monday to urge American athletes and sports fans to snub the 1980 Olympics in Moscow if the International Olympics Committee allows the Games to proceed.

The panel called on the international committee to agree to the request made by the United States Olympic Committee on Saturday that the games be cancelled or transferred if Soviet troops remain in Afghanistan beyond the Feb. 20 deadline set by President Carter. The Senate committee also urged that the international committee "give urgent consideration to the creation of permanent homes for the Summer and Winter Olympic Games, including one in Greece, the country of their origin." That move came after a plea for a permanent Olympic site In Greece from Sen. Bill Bradley, who competed in the 1964 Olympics and was a professional basketball star. Debate on the resolution began almost immediately on the Senate floor, but a vote was not expected until today at the earliest.

Chairman Frank Church, D-Idaho, said the committee's primary concern was that the Soviets would use the Olympics to put "the stamp of approval on the invasion of Afghanistan and the stamp of indifference on the world's reaction to that brutal and dangerous act of aggression." Church said that unlike the House version, passed last week by a 386-12 vote, the Senate resolution does not propose that other Games be set up as an alternative to the Moscow Olympics. He said it was not included because of the testimony of a U.S. Olympics Committee official and three athletes that such a division of top-level international sports might permanently destroy the Olympics process. The House measure calls on the U.S. Olympics Committee to take no part in the Moscow Games and to organize alternative Games with cooperating countries if the International Olympics Committee rejects the idea of cancelling or transferring the Games.

The international committee has said it is committed to holding the Games in Moscow. The Foreign Relations Committee vote ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) Foreign ministers from 34 Islamic nations adopted a resolution early today, condemning the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan and demanding "the immediate and unconditional withdrawal" of Soviet troops from that Moslem nation. It threatened a boycott of the Olympic Games in Moscow. There were reports some ministers had sought an even tougher resolution that would call on Islamic countries to sever relations with the Soviet Union. That step was not taken.

But the measure "invites" all Islamic states "to withhold recognition to the illegal regime in Afghanistan and sever diplomatic relations with that country until the complete withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan." It suspended Af- (Continued on A4, column 1) 4 m-X jm. sfW 0tt 4.
