House Budget Committee chair man James Jones, D-Okla., called on the conferees not to “hide behind meaningless procedural smoke screens” and to finish the budget conference by the end of the month when Congress is to take its Inde pendence Day recess.

The budget is not going to save any money this year.” The problem is that the budgets merely set a spending outline but don’t actually cut programs. In addi tion to the budgets, each chamber also lias passed plans to reduce the federal deficits that would actually limit funds for some programs. Senate Republicans, who worked out their deficit-reduction with Pres ident Reagan, want to get the deficit plan agreed on at the same time as the budget. The Senate’s $140 bil lion deficit-reduction plan would write into law separate ceilings for defense. House leaders, who have their own $182 billion plan to cut the defi cit, don’t like the Senate caps be cause they would prevent money from being shifted from defense to social spending. The separate caps in the Senate’s deficit-reduction plan also would set a much higher spend ing level for defense than the House wants. The House’s budget would allow an increase in defense spending of 3.5 percent after inflation in fiscal 1985. The Senate wants to permit a 7.5 percent hike for the military next year. United Press International WASHINGTON — The Senate, delaying action on “Star Wars” mis siles to wrangle with military bene fits, rejected a new Cl Bill Wednes^ day and approved an administration-backed program to lure potential soldiers with the promise of educational benefits. With Vice President George Bush presiding over the Senate in case his vote was needed to break a tie, the Senate voted 47-45 to kill the sweep ing proposal offered by Sen. Bill Armstrong, R-Colo., as an amend ment to the $291 billion defense au thorization bill before the Senate. The test program supported by President Reagan eventually was ap proved 72-20. The Senate, poised all day to start debating Reagan’s “Star Wars” mis sile defense proposal and the MX missile, instead wrangled with the educational benefit issue until early evening. An effort to cut money from Reagan’s Strategic Defense Ini tiative was expected later in the night. Defeat of the measure was a vic tory for the administration, the Sen ate’s Republican leadership and the Armed Services Committee, all op ponents of the move and supporters instead of the more modest four- year test program proposed by Sen. John Glenn. Glenn proposed that new recruits willing to give up $250 a month in pay and in most cases quarters and subsistence allowances get educatio nal benefits that could total $18,000. The issue became ensnarled in a series of parliamentary moves — termed by one member as “legis lative razzle-dazzle” designed to pre vent a direct vote on Armstrong’s amendment. It was eventually set tled after about eight hours of wrangling on the matter. Senate Republican leader Howard Baker argued against Armstrong’s amendment, saying, “If we’re going to hatch a new entitlement program that begins two or three years in the future with a general waiver of the budget act, we might as well throw out the budget act.” Budget director David Stockman, in a letter to Armed Services Com mittee Chairman John Tower, said, “There is no need at this time for a new educational benefits program for military personnel. ... If Con gress believes that action ... is essen tial at this time, the administration would strongly prefer a test pro gram” like Glenn’s. 2 Bdrm./2 Bath $435 FREE Cable and HBO • Pool ■ Basketball • Sand Volleyball • 24-Hr.
