" t- ' ' Defense funds queried Budget battle begins United Press International WASHINGTON — Congression al hawks, concerned over the abor tive military rescue effort in Iran, will try again this week to beef up defense spending in President Car ter’s proposed balanced budget. Republicans will get one more chance to derail the House Budget Committee’s $611.8 billion spending plan and the Senate will begin de bate on a $612.9 billion package approved by its budget panel. Although the House and Senate versions are close in dollar amounts, the Senate version includes about $8 billion more for defense. The budget action will be the main event on Capitol Hill, with votes on 10 amendments scheduled to begin in the House today. Representatives already have completed general de bate on the amendments. Republican Party House members hope to make the House budget proposal more conservative by cut ting additional funds from domestic programs and adding them to de fense spending. A proposal by Reps. Marjorie Holt, R-Md., and Phil Gramm, D- Texas, to add $5.1 billion for defense is given the best chance of passage among the 10 amendments. The Carter administration sup ports an amendment by Rep. David Obey, D-Wis., to add $1.1 billion mostly to the domestic budget, in cluding $500 million which could be used to help ailing cities. But House leaders say the Obey plan has little chance of being approved. In the Senate, a liberal attempt to restore funds to domestic programs, led by Assistant Democratic leader Alan Cranston of California is not ex pected to get far. Republicans in the Senate also will be trying to cut social programs further in an attempt to come up with $30 billion for a tax cut to stimu late economic growth. House debate hit a temporary snag last week when Rep. Robert Giaimo, D-Conn., the budget com mittee chairman, said mathematical corrections were necessary in three of the amendments that had been agreed on for debate on the House floor. The matter was sent back to the Rules Committee, which was ex pected to agree to the changes in a meeting Monday. The Senate is expected to begin its work around midweek. United Press International Airfares are going up and the Ford otor Co. is losing millions of dol- irs, both partly because of the high ostoffiiel, and the seventh largest '.oilrefiner reported its earnings urged 76 percent. Several banks lowered their prime ading rates — the interest banks urge top corporate customers for icrt-term loans — a full point to lit percent Monday. The prevail- g prime rate was 20 percent two eeks ago. Consumer interest rates will fall if re prime lending rate continues to ecline, although not until after a lag triod. The Civil Aeronautics Board au- torized a 5.4 percent increase in air res, effective May 1, partly because I fuel costs rose an average of 2.98 ntsagallon in March to a new high 85.79 cents. Although it was the smallest in crease for fuel-related costs since December, the adjustment also in cluded other cost increases, a board spokesman said. The CAB adjusts the so-called standard industry fare level — the fares airlines may charge for coach seats without having to justify an in crease — every two months. It approved a 3.3 percent increase Jan. 1, and a 2.5 percent jump on March 1. Ford — the second largest U S. automaker — said it lost $163.6 mil lion in the first three months of 1980, and blamed the red ink on expensive fuel and the weak economy that has led to slumping domestic vehicles '^sales;.;,-'wvi ■: tt! .•'rUoqqn? ■tins I Ford’s loss oormpare^ withr 'a net 1 - profit of $594.8 million, or $4.97 a share, for the first quarter of 1979. Sales amounted to $9.61 billion, down from $12.58 billion a year ago. Atlantic Richfield Co., seventh largest U.S. oil refiner, reported its first-quarter earnings surged 76 per cent and Union Oil Co. of California, the 14th largest, logged a 34 percent gain. Arco and Union were among the last oil companies to release first- quarter results. Exxon Corp. posted a 101 percent profit increase, Mobil Corp. a 207 percent jump, Texaco a 96 percent rise, Standard Oil Co. (Ohio) a 169 percent advance and Gulf Oil Corp. a 56 percent gain.
