Knox, filed suit in district court to block the Oct. 27 primary unless his newly acquired name is on the bal lot for governor. Knox changed his name to None-of-the-Above Sept. 11, and has said he does not want to be gov ernor but wants voters to have a chance to reject all other candidates by voting for “none of the above.” Secretary of State Paul Hardy, who is also a gubernatorial candi date, refused to put Knox’s new name on the ballot on the grounds that the name was deceptive. U.S. to without begin new year budget? Petal Patch 707 SHOPPING VILLAGE 696-6713 ROSES CUT FLOWERS FOOTBALL MUMS WEDDINGS SPECIAL OCCASIOl NEW — FRIDAY FLOWERS $ 2 00 /BUNCH HALLMARK CENTER United Press International WASHINGTON — There is a growing possibility the federal gov ernment will begin its new fiscal year a week from now without a budget approved by Congress. Will it matter? The federal government will keep running. Bureaucrats will remain at their desks. The computers which spew out government checks at the rate of nearly $1.5 billion a day will continue to purr. The biggest loser from any long delay would be Congress itself, and many on Capitol Hill are deeply dis turbed by the possibility. The House, divided over the is sues of tax cuts, defense spending and the deficit, voted 213-192 last week to kill a $548.6 billion pro posed federal budget for fiscal year 1980, TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY MSC TOWN HALL Presents with Special Guest Prism Sunday Sept. 30 G. ROLLIE WHITE COLISEUM which starts Oct. 1. Leaders will go to the floor again this week with an almost identical version, scaled down by $400 mil lion. They hope that by rounding up a score of members who missed last week’s vote, and by twisting the arms of a few others, they can re verse the outcome. Even so, the fiscal year may be under way before differences with the Senate can be ironed out and a joint budget agreed to. No one is worried about a delay of a week or two — although that has never happened since Congress launched its budget process in 1975. The deeper concern was ex pressed by House Budget Chairman Robert Giaimo, D-Conn., who said after last week’s vote: “I’m not so sure we’re going to have a budget .this year. “Congress,” Giaimo said later. 9 OUT OF 10 PUPPIES PREFER THE BATTALION “will have announced to the Ameri can people that it is very good at spending money but cannot live with budget discipline.” Before 1975, Congress never wrote budgets. Only the president did. Congress passed tax and spend ing bills one at a time but never looked at the whole picture. The House and Senate budget committees were the first to have jurisdiction over the whole range of taxing and spending. The essence of the budget process is that each spring these two com mittees hold hearings, and Congress approves an initial budget resolu tion to guide it in passing substan tive bills during the summer. Then, theoretically by Sept. 15, Congress puts the final stamp on the budget for the fiscal year starting two weeks later. Insiders still are debating exactly why the House killed the budget — which, incidentally, it has done twice before and made good later, though never so close to the new fiscal year. Apparently it was a combination of some congressmen favoring a tax cut, others wanting higher or lower defense spending and many dis turbed over a projected $29 billion deficit. The proposed budget is designed to slow the growth of government spending in order to fight inflation and lead to a budget surplus in 1981. PM TICKETS $8.50, $9.25, $9.75 TICKETS & INFO.

The test, made public late last week, showed 17 domestic ml! imported beers contain detectable levels of the contaminants, The highest reading for an American beer — 7.7 parts per — was found in Schlitz. The lowest — no detectable level- Coors, with Stroh’s a close second. The highest reading among imports — 3.6 ppb —was found Heineken sample. Low among the imports was Guinness Stout, no detectable level. Both the FDA and the brewing industry have said they are dent the nitrosamines can be eliminated through changes in wing process, and they expect a clean-up within a few months, The FDA also has said the amount of nitrosamines in beer is enough that — based on what the agency knows now — theres reason for moderate beer drinkers to change their habits. FDA released the latest test results — from studies made spring — after it got several requests citing the Freedom oflnfon tion Act. A part per billion is a very small amount — the equivalent ounce of vermouth in 10,000 tank cars of gin. But scientists have there is no known safe level of exposure to cancer-causing agent part because of their cumulative impact.

Rizzo. Chief Justice Michael J. Eagen speculated in an interview recently that some justices might have been improperly influenced by political friendships in the seven-member court’s ruling to knock out a citizen attempt to recall Rizzo. That 4-3 decision, which ruled the recall provision of the Philadel phia Home Rule Charter uncon stitutional, was issued in September 1976 but the rationale was not known until six separate opinions were issued seven weeks later. Anti-Rizzo groups had collected over 210,000 names on petitions in their attempt to oust thecoi sial mayor shortly after he re-elected to a second term ij Rizzo is barred from runnii!) third term this year.
