The 9-foot spikes, each weigh ing from 150 to 200 pounds, were fitted into slots on the crown and bolted in place, said Henning Nielsen, director of public affairs for the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Is land Foundation. The statue’s seven spikes are now in place, Nielsen said. The completed statue will be unveiled at celebrations sched uled for the Fourth of July next year and the structure’s actual centennial day, Oct. 28. U.S. budget plan Aci hits student aid I Associated Press WASHING EON — Budget Di rector James C. Miller Ill submitted to President Reagan on Wednesday a first draft of next year’s proposed federal budget, a plan that U.S. offi cials said contains some of the most sweeping domestic spending cuts ever considered by the administra tion. Included in the domestic cuts, according to anonymous sources, is a major overhaul of federal credit programs and a tightening of re quirements for obtaining a wide va riety of government-backed loans, including new proposed slashes in student aid programs. It was the president’s first look at the budget which Miller has said would trim at least $50 billion in non-military spending from the budget in tne ft next Oct. 1.

Edwin Edwards and four codefendants Wednesday, with Edwards saying he was absolutely confident he would be cleared of federal racketeering and fraud charges. Asked if he would resign if con victed, without waiting for appeals, the governor replied, “Absolutely. . no ifs, ands or huts.” Edwards joked that he had three speeches ready — one for each pos sible verdict: guilty, innocent or hungjury. Prosecutors accused the men of plotting to illegally obtain state certi fication for hospital and nursing home projects in which they held in terests. Five of the projects were sold for $10 million, the bulk of the money going to Edwards, his brother Marion, and consultants Ronald Falgout and James Wyllie Jr. The fifth defendant is businessman Gus Mijalis. Both sides appeared to expect a verdict within a few days. All except Mijalis faced one count of conspiracy under the federal Racketeering Influenced and Cor rupt Organization Act and 49 counts of mail and wire fraud. Mijalis faces one RICO count and three mail fraud counts. Prosecutors never produced a wit ness who said Edwards sat in a room with the others and conspired to de fraud the state. But they showed that Edwards, after taking office in March 1984, approved or had a role in approving projects owned by Wyl lie and Falgout. Defense attorneys said the case was built on suspicion and infer ences and that there was nothing wrong with the hospital venture. They argued that the governor White House officials would not divulge specific details of the budget proposal, which will be presented to the Cabinet Thursday. But sources both inside and out side the administration said it would include most of the program elimi nations the president unsuccessfully advocated in his 1986 budget, in cluding ending Amtrak subsidies and abolishing the Small Business Administration and the Job Corps. According to the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, the new package also is likely to pro pose: That measure, which callsii balanced budget by 1991,wi)lj r sse a deficit ceiling of no mort 144 billion in fiscal 1987.

Prosecutors showed that Edwards made $2 million with Wyllie and Fal gout before he took office and con tended the money constituted bribe paid in anticipation of his elec tion. “Never in the history of prosecu tions have so many prosecutors la bored so hard for so long and pro duced so little,” said chief defense lawyer James Neal. But U.S. Attorney John Volz ac cused Edwards of selling out voters and said the co-defendants would continue to make money from the allegedly illegal hospital scam unless jurors put a stop to it.
