Reagan asks Pentagon about proposed cuts
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The White
House asked the Pentagon Satur
day to provide additional informa
tion on its proposals to cut the
military budget, and a spokesman
said the final package should be on
President Reagan’s desk Monday.
Deputy press secretary Larry
Speakes said the request did not
“reflect any dissatisfaction” with
the Defense Department’s reply
to presidential orders that it prop
ose how the massive budget could
be reduced without damaging na
tional defense.
In his efforts to spark an econo
mic recovery, the president
turned to the previously protected
Defense Department budget as
the source for major spending re
ductions.
Speakes said the Pentagon
proposals were being examined by
top Reagan staff members and
probably would reach the presi
dent Monday. He said “none of
the strategic weapons,” including
the controversial undecided prog
rams for the B-l bomber and MX
missile, would be included in the
budget cuts.
Meanwhile, Reagan began the
long Labor Day weekend by
studying a notebook of briefing in
formation for his midweek White
House meeting with Israel’s
Prime Minister Menachem
Begin.
Speakes was asked about Fri
day’s stock market plunge, to its
lowest point since June 9, 1980,
and whether it displayed inves
tors’ reaction to Reagan’s econo
mic program.
“There still seems to be some
reservations on Wall Street, some
doubt about whether it will work, ”
Speakes said. He added, howev
er, the administration is confident
the markets will rebound.
Speakes said the administration
remains determined not to exceed
its projected $42.5 billion deficit
for 1982, but said continued high
interest rates will make that a diffi
cult goal to meet.
Budget director David Stock-
man has said defense spending in
1983 and 1984 needs to be slashed
by about $50 billion. Defense Sec
retary Caspar Weinberger it could
be safely trimmed no more than
$15 billion.
The administration is believed
looking in the neighborhood of
$30 billion, with Reagan pledging
to keep his promise of increasing
defense spending at least 7 per
cent a year after inflation.

ATLANTA — The murder trial
of Wayne B. Williams, who pro
secutors claim is linked to two of
28 Atlanta black slayings by fibers
“unique in their combinations,”
has been indefinitely delayed as a
result of a defense motion.
Williams, 23, a freelance
photographer and would-be talent
scout, was present in a secured
courtroom Friday when Superior
Court Judge Clarence Cooper
announced he was delaying the
case to allow time for a review of
prosecution files and subsequent
rulings on a series of defense mo
tions.
The defense had filed a motion
asking for evidence that might
clear Williams, or information in
prosecution hands that might be
favorable to the defense.
Cooper said he would have to
search through mounds of pro
secution files to determine if there
was such evidence and said he
could not do it by Oct. 5 — the
tentative date set for Williams
trial.
He said he would reset a court
date after going through the re
cords and ruling on the flurry of
defense motions.
Cooper also said he would set a
date next Tuesday for an addition
al hearing on a defense motion to
supress evidence gained during a
May 22 interrogation of Williams
near a Chattahoochee River
bridge.
Defense attorneys Mary Wel
come and Tony Axam contend
Williams’ constitutional rights
were violated when he was inter
rogated for two hours that day af
ter a stakeout officer heard a
splash in the water. Two days la
ter, the body of Nathaniel Cater,
27, the 28th and oldest victim, was
found about a mile downstream
from the bridge.
Williams is charged with Ca
ters murder and that of 21-year-
old Jimmy Ray Payne. Welcome
and Axam say most of the prosecu
tion’s evidence would not have
been obtained if officers hadn’t
questioned Williams then.
Williams’ attorneys argued he
be given separate trials on each
count of murder but prosecutors
countered the two cases are inex
tricably linked by synthetic fibers
and dog hairs, among other things
Joe Drolet, an assistant District
Attorney, told the judge the fibers
and hairs taken from Williams
home, car and dog match those
found on the bodies of Payne and
Cater and are “unique in their
combinations. ”
Drolet also said many witnesses
in one case will be witnesses in the
other case. He added that the pro
secution intends to show that the
two bodies were “dropped from
the same place” — the bridge near
where Williams was questioned
May 22.
