College across from Youngbloods 822-2031 WASHINGTON (AP) — The Democratic-controlled House Budget Committee, pushing aside Republican complaints, worked Thursday toward approval of a fiscal 1987 budget that would slash military spending, freeze or trim most domes tic programs and embrace a tax in crease to reduce the deficit. The $1 trillion spending plan re leased by committee Chairman Wil liam H. Cray III, D-Pa., would re duce the deficit next year to $136.6 billion. Cray said, “It would result in a lower deficit than the Senate plan, and achieves this by spreading the cuts more equitably. Spending cuts are divided almost equally between defense and domestic programs.” House Majority Leader Jim Wright, D-Texas, a member of the committee, said, “Contrast that with the Senate budget, which places 86 percent of the cuts on the non military side of the budget.” The Democratic plan would cut military budget authority next year to $285 billion, $1.8 billion below the current level, and $3 billion of that would be held in abeyance until the Pentagon agrees to an audit of how past years’ increases were spent. The Senate approved a $301 bil lion budget for the military, while President Reagan requested $320 bil lion in budget authority that includes some money actuly spent over several years. The low House figure would con strain new military programs but actual outlays of cash during the year would rise $6.7 billion to $276.2 bil lion. Rep. Marvin Leath, D-Texas, said controls over the military spending buildup of the past few years were weak and Congress has not been told where large inflation have gone. Cray’s proposed budget accepts the full $13.2 billion in new taxes pas sed by the Senate, but Democratic leaders remained wary. House Speaker Thomas P. O’Neill Jr. has warned that Democrats would be blamed for any tax increase above the $6 billion proposed by President Reagan unless it passed without Re publican support. ‘Night Stalker’ links devil to murders, rapes LOS ANGELES (AP) — A drifter facing trial on 14 murder counts in the “Night Stalker” case said, “Of course I did it,” and linked Satan to the string of slayings, rapes and beatings, according to newly un sealed testimony. Police said El Paso native Richard Ramirez, 28, told them just after his arrest that he wanted to die for the crimes that terrorized much of the state last summer. “I want the electric chair. They should have shot me on the street,” Officer George Thomas quoted Ramirez as having said. “I did it, you know. You guys got me, the Stalker.” Thomas’ testimony, given late last month during a closed court session, was unsealed Wednesday by Munici pal Judge James F. Nelson, who a day earlier had ordered Ramirez to stand trial on 14 murder counts and 36 other felony charges. According to Thomas, Ramirez at various times said: “Of course, I did it. You know that I’m a killer. So what. Give me your gun. I’ll take care of myself. You should. I’m a killer. So shoot me. I deserve to die.” According to the testimony, Ram irez also pointed to his shoulder, Starts Saturday, May 10 th ►'at 8 a.m. •estigator ■dnesdavita -ith a youni ihie photos search of" 1 ay f.SPo' 1 - ents.
