United Press International WASHINGTON — President Reagan Thursday confirmed he will propose delaying scheduled cost-of-living increases to reci pients of federal benefits next year in his newest attack on govern ment spending. The proposal is part of a pack age of cost-cutting measures being readied by the White House — involving $16.3 billion in fiscal 1982 outlays — that also could in clude closing the Energy and Education departments and trim ming the federal payroll by 75,000 jobs through attrition and termi nations. But during a picture-taking ses sion with congressional leaders, Reagan told reporters he will re sist pressures to cut any more than $2 billion from Pentagon spending next year.

White House sources said the proposed 1982 cutbacks were drafted Wednesday at a meeting on Capitol Hill of budget director David Stockman, Senate Republi can leader Howard Baker and White House chief of staff James Baker. They said the proposals have the approval of GOP con gressional leaders. Reagan conferred with the bipartisan congressional leader ship Thursday before discussing the budget situation with his Cabinet. Aides said the meeting with the leadership focused pri marily on the sale of AWACS radar planes to Saudi Arabia. The thfee-month deferral of 1982 cost-of-living increases would apply to all federal benefit programs, including Social Secur ity, military retirement, food stamps and black lung. For the past several weeks, Reagan has sought additional spending reductions to get back on track for a budget deficit of $42.5 billion next year and a ba lanced budget by 1984. During the presidential cam paign, Reagan promised to abolish the Energy and Education depart ments. And now he is actively ex amining the possiblity of taking such action. Functions of the two depart ments would be shifted to other agencies. Officials said dismissal of 75,(XX) workers would save $300 million in 1982 and $3.3 billion over a three-year period. They would apply to all agencies and reduce the federal payroll by 6.5 percent. The three-month deferral of the cost-of-living increases would re sult in a $5 billion saving, officials said. But they insisted the postpone ment would not represent a re treat on Reagan s promise Tues day he would not seek to balance the budget “at the expense t|| those on Social Security.’’ Officials said the proposal three-month postponement wj first recommended by theDew| cratic leadership.

But, they said further research is needed to eliminate the side effects. In addition to reducing sperm production, the researchers said LHRH also cut production of the male hormone testosterone — causing a loss of sex drive, im- potency and hot flashes such as those experienced by women dur ing menopause. "I believe ours is the first study in normal males in which we have achieved cessation of sperma- togeneis (sperm production) which is totally reversible,’ Dr. David Rabin of Vanderbilt said. Development of a chemical contraceptive for men has con tinued to frustrate researchers who are trying to find a way to inhibit the production of sperm.
