The agreement set overall spend ing limits for domestic, military and foreign aid spending. Reagan has al ready signed the tax increase re quired under the agreement, adding $14 billion to the Treasury’s receipts for next year. The president’s plan envisions overall spending of $1,094 trillion, offset by $965 billion in receipts. That would leave a deficit of about $129.5 billion in the fiscal year be ginning Oct. 1, within the guidelines of the Gramm-Rudman, budget-bal ancing law and down from $150.4 billion last year and an estimated $146 billion this year. Health insurers screen for AIDS WASHINGTON (AP) — Screen ing of health insurance applicants to detect the AIDS virus is a common practice among insurance compa nies and health maintenance organi zations, according to a congressional study released Wednesday. The Congressional Office of Technology Assessment said its sur vey of commercial insurers, Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans and HMOs found that most insurers ask AIDS-related questions on applica tions and require health histories from an applicant’s physician. The report said 51, or 86 percent, of the 62 commercial insurers who responded to the survey either screen or plan to screen individual applicants for the HIV infection. Testing for the AIDS virus is com mon among commercial insurers but is rarely required by Blue Cross-Blue Shield plans or HMOs, the OTA re port said. Thirty-one of the 62 commercial carriers said they routinely test ap plicants for HIV antibodies, while one of the 15 Blue Cross-Blue Shield plans did and two of the HMOs did. The congressional study found that most insurers treat AIDS like other serious illnesses, most of which are uninsurable. Individual health insurance usually is denied not only to AIDS sufferers but also to anyone with emphysema, cancer, coronary artery disease, significant mental dis orders, severe obesity, some types of diabetes, multiple sclerosis and many other conditions. The survey found that there is a difference, however, in how insurers judge someone to be at risk of AIDS as opposed to at risk of contracting other diseases. In addition to eval uating medical criteria, 18 of the 62 commercial insurers said they con sider sexual orientation in determin ing risk of contracting AIDS, as did four of the 16 HMOs surveyed. The National Association of In surance Commissioners advises states to prohibit that practice and at least eight states have adopted the commissioners’ guidelines. Guardsman dies in accident with jet intake SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — An Air National Guard ground crew chief who was sucked into an engine intake of an F-4D Phantom jet died from massive internal injuries, au thorities said Wednesday. Sgt. Martin Gaither, 28, of Williamsville died Tuesday during surgery at Memorial Medical Cen ter, Sangamon County Deputy Cor oner Bruce Martin said. Gaither was inspecting engines on the flight line, where aircraft are prepared for takeoff, when the acci dent happened, Capt. Bob Lael, spokesman for the Illinois Air Na tional Guard, said. He walked in front of an engine that was running and was drawn into the intake chute, Lael said. m.mw World Briefs l( Babbitt and du Pont drop out of race US' Because of the agreement with congressional leaders, Reagan was forced for the first time to submit a military budget that would not keep pace with inflation. Restrained to $294 billion in out lays, up from $285.4 billion this year, the president proposed reduc ing the nation’s active-duty forces and abandoning the goal of a 600- ship Navy. On the domestic side of the led ger, the president requested new spending authority that he has re sisted in the past but which Congress would likely favor anyway in an elec tion year, including: —$1.3 billion for AIDS research, a 38 percent increase. —An increase of $1.5 billion, or 8 percent, on education. —A 13 percent boost, to $3.9 bil lion, for drug law enforcement and treatment programs. —$363 million to begin construc tion of the Superconducting Super Collider, a huge new atomic re search facility. —Full funding for a $2.5 billion, five-year program to combat acid rain, and an increase in spending on hazardous waste cleanup. —A 44 percent increase, to $1.6 billion, for the Federal Aviation Ad ministration to modernize its air tra ffic control system. —$11.5 billion for space pro grams. Democrat Bruce Babbitt and Republican Fete du Pont dropped out of the presidential race today, both declaring their futile campaigns the opportunity of a lifetime, while most of the surviving contenders marched south for a campaign blit/, leading up to Super Tuesday’s primary trophy. Meanwhile, Republican party regulars in Nevada were bracing for Pat Robertson’s "invisible army” as they geared up for a non-binding straw poll tonight. :ts c \ ik I I )emocrats were set forbati.tf.w,. to back debates, starting toni^K, l ;1 in Texas, the biggest Super TutiMj n t day state Babbitt the first casualties.

Officials said at least 18 people were killed and 14 wounded. The battle raged in and around this provincial capital of 70,000 peo ple 70 miles southeast of San Sal vador, the nation’s capital.
