WASHINGTON — Despite Presi dent Reagan’s efforts to prod a com promise, congressional budget nego tiations remained stalled Thursday while Senate leaders worked to con tain a GOP rebellion over the presi dent’s about-face on Social Security. Sen. John Danforth, R-Mo., said the so-called compromise is no com promise at all. “It may be a compro mise between President Reagan and the House,” he said. “But it is no compromise from the standpoint of the Senate.” Although Reagan had intend enjoy Bu to get the stallecf budget talksrj ing again, there was no effon Thursday to reconvene the Htt Senate conference committee on budget charged with hammerint ‘ fi ' - ‘ the Final spiending document.

Sen. Pete V. Domenici, R-N.M., chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, said, “There’s a lot of negative talk around.” “There’s some anger. They’re mad.

Southern California will receive lightning also, and we really don’t want to hear that. “What’s happening is every day we’re getting new fires. As soon as we get control of one, we demobilize and have another fire to move them to.” The agency, a firefighting logis tics support center, saw no sign of a respite for firefighters, who have suffered hundreds of broken bones and other injuries. State forester Tess Albin-Smith said at least 345 firefighters have been hurt in the past two weeks in California alone. Seventeen-thousand firefighters, including some from New England and Alaska, have been battling the stubborn flames. Spokesman Scott Bray ton said, “It’s the largest force of firefighters ever assembled in the United States.” In San Luis Obispo, Calif., where a 75,000-acre fire was contained just outside the city limits Wednesday, residents hoisted a banner Thursday that read: “We love firefighters. Thank you for saving our city. ’ More than 1,000 fires burned in the United States and Canada, scorching lands in at least 14 states.

Abdallah Bouhabib accused the Reagan administra tion of taking action against Lebanon because it hesi tated to act against those responsible for terrorism in the wake of the hijacking of TWA Flight 847, during which 39 Americans were held hostage for 17 days. Vice President George Bush, at a National Press Club luncheon, was asked why Lebanon should be punished for the actions of a few extremists. He replied that Leb anon had a responsibility to “safeguard travelers in in ternational airports.” “The United States does not want to face reality in the Middle East,” Bouhabib said. “Why hit us? We are being hurt. Innocent Lebanese are being hurt.” He said “Lebanon is a theater” where outside forces play out their violence and terrorist acts. Bouhabib said Lebanon would cooperate with the United States in trying to apprehend and interrogate suspects in the hijacking, in which one hostage was killed. But he said Lebanese authorities don’t know the identity of the hijackers, and he doesn’t think the Americans do either. “We would like to see Lebanon bring that important airport into an ordered way,” Bush said. “We would like to see it safe. We would like to be able to tell American travelers, you can go there at minimal risk. But, we can’t do that now.” The administration announced after the hostages were released that it wanted the airport closed because it had become a haven for terrorists. It banned all American flights to Lebanon and flights by Middle East Airlines and other aircraft from Lebanon to the United States. U.S. officials also said they would discourage other nations from using the Beirut airport. However, there has been virtually no international support for the American action, and some Arab na tions are talking about a counter-boycott against U.S. Bouhabib earlier had registered a formal protest of the action on behalf of his government. He said in an interview Thursday with the Associated Press Radio network, “We do realize that Beirut airport is a security risk. However, these measures that are be ing taken by the United States are not going to stop the insecurity, are not going to limit terrorism. In fact, iso lating Lebanon would increase terrorism and would strengthen the terrorists.” Bouhabib acknowledged that the American action has prompted the Lebanese government to improve se curity measures at the airport. But he said the same in centive could have come from the United Nations with out the pressure of a U.S. boycott. Asked what retaliation would have been appropriate in the wake of the Beirut hijacking, Bouhabib said probably nothing because the administration doesn’t want to violate international law and endanger thut lives of hostages. “With this policy, I don’t think you can do anything,’ he said. / Soviet fighter crashes while pursuing jet Associated Press STOCKHOLM, Sweden- Soviet air force pilot was believed killed when his SU-15 jet fightf crashed in the Baltic Sea pursuing a Swedish fighter pian| monitoring a Warsaw Pact navi exercise, the Defense Staff r ( ! ported Thursday.
