POINT 21 HOURS??]OH, WE MAKE United Press International Washington — The House of Representatives dealt President Reagan the biggest setback to date on his drive to re-arm America when it voted against production of MX missile, but two Republican senators said to day the system will be revived in the Senate. iry Caspar Weinberger said the administra tion will launch a “major effort” to revive production funds for the experimental missile. the House vote, nation bill. Opposition primarily fo cused on the “dense pack” bas ing mode — in which the mis siles would be placed in under ground silos in Wyoming — as well as the $26 billion price tag. Reagan immediately called the House’s action “a grave mis take” and urged the Senate to reverse the decision. Although Republicans have a 54-46 mar gin in the Senate, foes say they nave the votes to stop produc tion funds — at least for now. Following both opponents and proponents id the Pent agreed tne Pentagon must now “go back to the drawing board” and try to erase the deep con cerns that produced Tuesday’s 245-176 vote. The proposal was passed to delete nearly $ 1 billion in MX production funds from a $231.6 billion defense approp- Sen. Robert Dole, R-Kan., told NBC’s “Today” program today that production money would pass in the Senate after “a long, long debate.” Dole also added that he didn’t see how the vote could be done this year. Sen. John Tower, R-Texas, said on ABC’s “Good Morning America” program: “I think it is very possible the Senate will re ject an attempt to delete the pro duction money from the Senate bill and if that’s done, of course, then it will go to conference. There’s a possibility a comprom ise can be worked out between the Sefiate and the House.” Tower called the House ac tion “somewhat precipitous and uninformed.” On CBS’ “Morning News” program, Weinberger said the House vote was “a desire to vote no on some of the expenditures that are required for defense.” Weinberger said the adminis tration will continue to push for the MX. After the House vote, Rep. Joseph Addabbo, D-N.Y., who led the House fight against the MX, said: “No one knows the future of the MX. It’s far from finished. We won the battle, but we haven’t won the war.” CAROLINE HAS ] UH..WEP0/V'T A MEW EMOTION? KNOW.

Fraser said Chrysler rejected the union’s proposal “with a four-letter word — no, no.” In Toronto, a Canadian union offi cial said the two sides were as far apart as “from here to Detroit” — about 250 miles. Fraser said the union “can’t claim optimism” because of the lack of progress on a settlement, but added, he hoped there was “room to do some shifting” on a wage increase.
