Taxpayers’ revolt has impact
Congress continues to trim budge
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Congress,
spurred by the growing taxpayers’
revolt, is showing no relief in its at
tacks on government spending.
The House has imposed spending
cuts on several spending bills since

California voters approved Proposi
tion 13, which slashed property
taxes and forced spending cutbacks
in that state.
On Tuesday, the Senate went
along, imposing 2 percent across-
the-board cuts on the Treasury De
partment, the White House and
several smaller agencies, which
slashed about $144 million from the
bill and reduced its size to about
$8.8 billion.
Combining the House’s across-
the-board cuts so far and the Senate
action Tuesday, Congress has trim
med $678.5 million from the spend
ing bills.
Part of the Senate cuts for the
Treasury Department came on an
amendment to try to block a pro
posed gun control measure.
The amendment denies $3.8 mil
lion in funds to the department’s
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and
Firearms. The deletion was close to
the amount the bureau would need
to carry out a plan to require all
handguns to carry serial numbers
and to require the reporting of
firearms transactions and thefts to a
computer data bank.
Another amendment approved by
the Senate would block President
Carter from imposing additional oil
import fees and deprive the presi
dent of a tool he hoped to use to
pressure Congress into enacting the
final part of his energy package.
A White House spokesman said
Carter hopes a conference commit
tee will overrule the Senate action.
The Senate refused to go along
with another amendment, which
would have denied Richard Nixon
from receiving a presidential pen
sion or funding for office staff.
The amendment, offered by Sen.
James Abourezk, D-S.D., was ta
bled on an 89-2 vote, with only
Abourezk and Sen. Kaneaster
Hodges, D-Ark., voting against tabl
ing it.
The Senate passed another bill
Tuesday that would authorize the
government to set up three demon
stration projects to test the com
mercial feasibility of extracting oil
from shale.

Diesel engines tested
for cancer-causing effecti
United Press International
DETROIT — Remember
years ago, when the surgeon
general warned cigarettes cause
cancer? We’ve come a long way.
Since then, the government
has warned about saccharin,
hamburgers and even bacon.
Today, there may be a new twist
— though both U.S. and foreign
automakers hope not.
The Environmental Protection
Agency was expected to release
in Washington a preliminary re
port on a six-month study of die
sel engines and the possible
cancer-causing effects of their
exhaust particles.
There was concern among auto
makers that a finding critical of
diesel exhausts would have re
sulted in tighter emission con
trols — something U. S. and
foreign automakers say woidd
force them to curtail plans to
boost output of increasingly
popular diesel-powered cars.
Demand for fuel-efficient die
sels so far this year has outstrip
ped production. The industry
expects sales this year to top
120,(XX).
The EPA, under provisions of
the federal Clean Air Act, must
propose a standard this year for
particulate emissions from diesel
engines. The standard will take
effect in 1981.
Concerns about potential
cancer-causing effects of diesel
emissions were raised by a re
cent study that found mutations
in certain bacteria exposed to
diesel exhaust particles.
The EPA undertook the study
to determine how strictly diesel
particulates should be con
trolled. Diesels already are sub
ject to EPA regulations covering
other automotive pollutants —
carbon monoxide, hyrdocarbons
and nitrogen oxides.
General Motors Corp., which
this year began offering diesel
engines in its Oldsmobile line,
has announced plans to triple
diesel production in 1979. CM
officials have predicted by 1985
more than 25 percent of cars will
be powered by diesels.
An industry insider said GM’s

Senate considering bill to give
New York City $1.5 billion loan
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The bill be
fore the Senate, the “New York City
Loan Guarantee Act of 1978,” is
local, but the issues are national and
even international.
The Senate is considering —
perhaps for the rest of the week —
whether to provide $1.5 billion in
federal loan guarantees to the city to

enable it to borrow money and thus
keep itself from bankruptcy.
The guarantees, running up to 15
years, would replace federal sea
sonal loans to New York City, ap
proved by Congress in 1975, Vvhich
the city has repaid with interest and
which expire June 30.
The House already has approved
$2 billion in loan guarantees.
Both critics and supporters pre
dict Senate passage, but not until
after much rhetoric.
Proponents — including the city
government, its leading bankers and
labor unions, the state of New York
and the Carter administration — say
the effects of bankruptcy would
spread nationwide in rapidly ex
panding circles.
