The sources, who insisted upon anonymity, said the $1.16 trillion spending plan Bush will outline in a nationally televised speech to Con gress at 8 p.m. Thursday will project a deficit of roughly $98 billion. That’s within the $100 billion re quirement of a federal deficit-reduc tion law for the fiscal year that be gins Oct. 1 but. some $5.5 billion higher than Reagan had proposed. Higher levels in the Bush budget for education, child care, the envi- ronment and the homeless account for some of the gap, the sources said. On the eve of Bush’s budget ad dress, more glimpses of the presi dent’s $1.16 trillion spending outline surfaced as administration budget officials briefed influential members of Congress on the package. According to congressional and administration officials, key el ements of Bush’s package include: • A request for $250 million to $300 million more than the $21.2 billion Reagan had sought in educa tion spending. Much of the increase would go to expand the Head Start program. Bush’s plan for a $500 mil lion National Merit School program will be scaled hack sharply, however. ® A tax break to help families re cover some of the cost of adoptions, with an emphasis on hard-to-adopt children. During his campaign, Bush repeatedly said he was “for adoption, not abortion.” A modest previous tax deduction to help offset adoption costs was eliminated in a U.S. jet chartered by Italians crashes, 144 estimated dead LISBON, Portugal (AP) — An American charter jet filled with Ital ian tourists slammed into a fog-cov ered mountain in the Azores today and exploded, and all 144 people on board are feared dead, officials and news reports said. Maria della Versesi, a spokesman at the Italian Embassy in Lisbon, said all 137 passengers were Italian and the seven crew members were Amer ican. She did not release any names. The aircraft belonged to the U.S. airline Independent Air Corp., based in Smyrna, Tenn. The flight originated in Bergamo, Italy, and was to have proceeded to Puerto Plata in the Dominican Re public, and Montego Bay in Jamaica, after making a refueling stop in the Azores. The Portuguese news agency LUSA quoted an unidentified offi cial from the Azores Civil Protection Service as saying about 50 bodies had been recovered and it appeared all on board died. LUSA also quoted an unidentified member of a local flying club as say ing all the passengers and crew had been killed. 600,000 parishioners crowd Korean church for Christian services SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — While many churches are struggling to keep their doors open, the Yoido Full Gospel Church wrestles every week with the problems of accom modating 600,000 parishioners. The Seoul church, part of the worldwide Assemblies of God, claims to have the largest congrega tion in the world. The church seats 25,000 worshippers in its main sanctuary and another 25,000 in 17 “overflow” chapels. The church was established with five parishioners by Rev. Paul Yonggi Cho in 1958 amid the dev astation left by the Korean War. Over the years it expanded into a massive organization still intent on getting bigger every year. “People often ask why the church is so large,” said Lydia Swain of Mi ami, an ordained minister who first came to Seoul in 1964 and now works in the church office. The simple answer, she said, is that “people want to stay together, to pray together.” She said the congre gation, virtually all Korean, is made up of born-again Christians who be lieve the power of prayer is strongest in groups. Coping with what the church calls 1986 tax-code overhaul. The it the proposed tax break could uni learned. • An increase of about $35!)9 lion over the $ 1.3 billion Reagan! sought to clean up deterioratingi clear weapons plants, along wi4 proposal to restart of the idled' vannah River plant in South Cj lina. • 1 he establishment of taxi “urban enterprise zones” in ii® cities. • A freeze in military spend* the level of inflation for fiscal 1| with a I percent increase over inf tion in 1991 and a 2 percentincta in 1993. Reagan had proposed; percent increase, after inflation,:' fiscal 1990. • A reduction in the capital-far tax to a maximum of 15 percent assets held more than two years, eluding works of art. Afonso Pimentel, a LUSA re porter based in the Azores, said the Boeing 707 was preparing to land at Santa Maria airport when it crashed into Pico Alto, a fog-covered, 1,794- foot-high mountain, and burst into flames. LUSA quoted the civil protec tion official as saying the pilot asked the airport to clear a runway for an emergency landing. The Civil Pro tection Service is a state body that provides rescue services and assis tance in civilian emergencies. A.L. Pittman, president of Inde pendent Air Corp., said in an inter view in Smy rna that the 15-year-old company makes 400 to 500 charter flights a year, mostly in the Carib bean and Europe. Pittman, who declined to identify the seven American crew members, said the 20-year-old jetliner that crashed had a relatively low number of flight hours and no history of trouble. Pittman said the airplane, one of two Boeing 707s owned by the com pany, had 12,500 cycles, or takeoffs and landings, and less than 50,000 hours in the air. “a city of Christians” can be a test of ingenuity. There are 12 services a week, including seven on Sunday and nightly prayer meetings. The faithful line up half an hour ahead of each service to cram into the 25,000-seat sanctuary. Thou sands too late to get a seat jam into the overflow chapels to watch the proceedings on closed circuit tele vision. More than 30,000 children attend Sunday school classes in halls, crowded rooms and stairwells. There are 12 choirs, 12 choir di rectors and 12 organists. Two or chestras play on Sunday. “If you’re 15 minutes early, you’re late in this church,” says Jim Dunnet, a church member from Great Falls, Mont., who lives in Seoul. “The seats are filled.” Church traffic police direct hun dreds of cars and buses picking up and dropping off church-goers at every service. Ushers hand out 500,000 printed church programs a week, and if one does not speak Korean, there are headsets to hear translation in up to five languages. Some of the congre gation bring binoculars.

Plant thieves strip public desert of vegetatioi LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) — The Bureau of Land Management is on the lookout for cactus and bush thieves who might not even know they’re doing any thing illegal by taking desert plants from public lands. “I honestly think that nine out of 10 of these acts aren’t malicious,” said Diana “Punkie” Carretson, spokesman for the BLM in Las Cruces. “Someone just decides they want a cactus or a bush to decorate their front yard, so they dig it up and take it home. Most of them don’t know it’s illegal — they do not understand that it’s wrong.” ticeable as cactus, sotols, yuccas, desert willows L| other brush turn up missing from public lands. Gari'E; son said.

But taking away desert plants is wrong, Carretson said, because the land is fragile and it takes years for holes to fill up and vegetation to grow back.
