In its mid-year economic and budget review, the CBO pre dicted the deficit will climb from $112 billion in fiscal 1982 to $155 billion next year, even if Congress enacts the remaining spending cuts called for in the 1983 budget resolution. Congress already has made $30 billion in spending cuts and has hiked taxes $98.3 billion. Federal deficits are projected by the CBO to remain in the $150 billion to $160 billion range through 1985. “With projected deficits of approximately $155 billion, balancing the budget in the next few years is not a realistic objec tive,” the CBO concluded. The Reagan administration has estimated the fiscal 1983 budget deficit at $115 billion and said deficits woultf be lower in 1984 and 1985. In California, where Presi dent Reagan is vacationing, de puty press secretary Larry Speakes indicated the adminis tration does not agree with the CBO estimates. The CBO said the main reasons for its higher deficit esti mates are lower inflation and lower levels of real gross nation al product, both of which signifi cantly reduce the amount of tax revenue the government re- to^A FOOT 0.

Polish disturbances continue United Press International WARSAW, Poland — Crowds battled Polish riot police in Czes tochowa and Lubin Wednesday in a second day of disturbances apparently triggered by the shooting deaths of two demon strators, the official news agency PAP reported today.

More than 4,000 people were arrested and three people were killed during the clashes Tues day — the most serious chal lenge to Poland’s military rulers since martial law was imposed Dec. 13. PAP said crowds in Lubin set fire to a reading room in the city hall and hurled Molotov cock tails and stones at firemen Wednesday after marching through the city to the local Communist Party headquarters.

Hours after Thatcher chas tised Reagan Wednesday for his pipeline ban, U.S. officials announced sanctions against Britain’s John Brown Engineer ing would be less severe than those imposed earlier against two French firms. Sanctions against all three firms now will be limited to oil and gas-related products, U.S. officials said. The embargo was imposed to protest martial law in ~ )lai Poland.
