Tax cut:
Reagan
By JIM LUTHER
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) The compro
mise version of President Reagan's t4x
cut plan faces a final vote in the Senate
today and liberal Democrats are prepar
ing their final attack on the bill's $32
billion worth of tax breaks for the oil
industry.
The bill, at $748.8 billion the biggest tax
reduction in history, was completed by a
Senate-House conference committee Sat
urday morning after an all-night session
where the chief sticking point was oil
taxes.
F'f
'At a time when millions of average families are
being asked to sacrifice as part of the
administration's economic program . . . it makes
no sense to give the federal store away to the oil
companies."
The Senate has agreed to dispose of the
bill today and the House plans to do it
tomorrow. That means Reagan is likely
to sign the legislation the key element
of his economic program sometime
this week.
Congress already has completed action
on another big part of Reagan's package,
$l3O billion worth of reductions in federal
spending over the next three years. Once
the lawmakers finish the tax bill, they
will recess until Sept. 8.
UPI wirephoto
The heart of the bill is permanent tax
rate reductions in each of three succes
sive years, with the first small cut taking
effect on Oct. 1. When fully implemented,
the reductions would average 25 percent,
with the same percentage relief going to
all income groups.
Tax relief in the legislation is tilted
considerably toward those with incomes
of $50,000 a year or more. That is by
design; Reagan contends these taxpay
ers will invest their tax cut in ways that
will benefit the economy.
Bth Irish hunger striker dies
By ED BLANCHE
Associated Press Writer
BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) IRA hunger
striker Kieran Doherty died yesterday in the Maze
prison on the 73rd day of his fast, Britain's Northern
Ireland Office announced. He was the second Irish
nationalist hunger striker to die in two days and the
eighth in the fast that began at the Maze five months
ago.
Masked supporters of the Irish Republican Army
hurled gasoline bombs and bricks at security forces in
predominantly Roman Catholic West Belfast after news
of Doherty's death spread, police said. Doherty, 25, had
campaigned from his cell and was elected to the Irish
Parliament in balloting last June.
British Army headquarters reported an armored
personnel carrier was attacked and a 21-year-old soldier
suffered wounds that required both legs to be ampu
tated below the knees. It gave few details, but other
reports said the vehicle was hit by a rocket-propelled
grenade.
Police said a Catholic man suffered chest wounds
from a grenade that was thrown at a police vehicle in
Belfast's Ardoyne district. They reported policemen
and soldiers fired plasic bullets to disperse rioters.
Earlier yesterday, before Doherty died, two members
of the Royal Ulster Constabulalry were killed when a
landmine destroyed their squad car 60 miles west of
Belfast. Two other RUC policemen in a second car were
wounded and the assailants, believed to be members of
the IRA's•Provisional wing, escaped, officials said. The
deaths raised to 14 the number of security officers killed
this year.
That attack was part of the violence that followed the
death early Saturday of Kevin Lynch, a convicted
member of the Irish National Liberation Army who was
in the 71st day of his fast. He was serving 10 years,
convicted of ambushing troops and conspiring to steal
weapons.
His burial was set for today in his hometown of
Dungiven, 45 miles northwest of Belfast, and security
forces anticipated more violence during and after the
funeral ceremony.
West Belfast women banged garbage can lids and
blew whistles when they heard that Doherty, who had
Longest surviving 'plastic heart' patient dies
HOUSTON (AP) A retired Dutch bus
driver who lived longer than any other
man after receiving a plastic heart died
yesterday, just one week after doctors
replaced the artificial organ with a hu
man heart.
Doctors said Willebrordus A. Meuffels,
36, of The Netherland, who lived 54
hours with an artificial heart, died at 8
a.m. of "overwhelming" complications.
Hazel Haby, spokeswoman for the Tex
as Heart Institute, said, "It was just a
combination of complications. There
were pulmonary problems, kidney prob
lems, infection it was just an over
whelming situation."
Meuffels, one of three people ever to
receive a plastic pump, was the patient
of Dr. Denton Cooley, 60, a heart trans
plant pioneer.

for Congress
When the bill is fully effective in 1984, a
typical four-member . family with two
wage-earners, a $20,000 income and cur
rent tax liability of $2,013 would receive a
tax cut of $544. The $50,000 family, now
paying $9,323, would get a $2,570 tax
reduction. •
The bill extends additional tax cuts to
married working couples, many of whom
must pay more taxes than if they were
single; provides greater tax incentives to
savings; liberalizes tax credits for child
care expenses; all but eliminates estate
taxes, and cuts taxes for business, main
ly by allowing faster recovery through
the tax system of money spent for build
ings and machinery.
Senate plans to pass the final bill by
voice vote Saturday night were thwarted
by Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass. He
announced from his home state that he
would demand a vote on a motion to send
the measure back to the conference com
mittee with instructions to change the oil
provisions.
Kennedy's long-distance holdup an
gered some colleagues who were itching
to begin the five-week recess and worried
about the threatened strike by air-traffic
controllers.
Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kan., manager of the
tax bill, who had stayed up all night with
other conferees to work out the final
legislation, observed sarcastically that
Kennedy's absence "indicates his con
cern for this legislation."
Kennedy opposes the $32 billion worth
of tax breaks in the bill for the oil
industry over the next 10 years. Hp also

The hunger strike by Irish nationalist inmates in the
prison outside Belfast was launched Marh 1 by Bobby
Sands to force the British government to grant them
political-prisoner status. Britain refused and Sands died
May 5 after fasting 66 days.
"Kieran Doherty and the seven other men may not
have died if the British had moved," Sinn Fein, the legal
political arm of the IRA, said after Doherty's death. The
IRA is outlawed in both Northern Ireland and the Irish
Republic.
Catholic militants have rioted following each hunger
striker's death, directing their wrath at British troops
and the predominantly Protestant Royal Ulster Consta
bulary, the police force in this British province.
'We are not prepared to
surrender to the British. We
stand by our demands.'
The overwhelmingly Catholic IRA and splinter fac
tions are seeking to end Northern Ireland's status as a
British province and unite its Protestant majority with
the heavily Catholic Irish Republic.
Irish Premier Garret Fitz Gerald issued a statement
in Dublin saying he regretted Doherty's death and
extended sympathy to his relatives. But he added, "I
have also learned with sorrow of the two RUC consta
bles murdered today in the course of their duty in
County Tyrone. This deplorable act brings only further
disgrace on the organization which carried it out."
Britain's Northern Ireland Office said in a statement,

Neither Cooley nor the patient's wife
was at the hospital at the time of death.
Since his ordeal began July 23, Meuf
fels had survived a diseased heart that
became "completely lifeless." He lived
more than two days on the artificial
heart, had been through two transplant
operations and had overcome a blood
clotting problem.
"We're all really sorry," Haby added.
"Everybody was feeling so good about it
this time last week."
Meuffels lived longer after an artificial
heart transplant than any other person,
but did not hold the record for survival
while carrying the plastic pump.

his plan to allow a tax credit of up to $2OO
in 1981 to help lower-income families pay
their heating bills.
The oil figure is about halfway between
the $19.9 billion in the original Senate bill
and the $46 billion in the House bill, which
was written by Reagan supporters in a
successful effort to win the votes of oil
state Democrats.

families are being asked to sacrifice as

program, and at a time when millions of

In Dr. Cooley's first try at the proce
dure 12 years ago, the patient, Haskell
Karp, 47, of Skokie, 111., lived 65 hours
and then died 36 hours after receiving a
human heart.
Cooley came under fire from the Na
tional Heart Institute, Karp's survivors,
and his former mentor, Dr. Michael
Deßakey. They complained that the de
vice had not been properly tested and
said it was unethical to "experiment" on
a human being.
Meuffels, a retired tour bus driver,
benefits and their retirement plans, it
makes no sense to give the federal store
away to the oil companies," Kennedy's
statement said.
Sen. Howard Metzenbaum,
who had joined Kennedy in a fight
against the oil benefits earlier in the
week, issued a statement saying that
their efforts had saved taxpayers $l4
billion. He said the fight was over.
Opponents of the oil provisions were
able to block a House provision that
would have raised the 20-percent oil-de
pletion allowance to 22 percent and kept
it at that level.
Doherty was given a 22-year prison sentence in
January 1978 after he was convicted of hijacking and
possessing guns and explosives. He was elected June 11
to the Dail, Ireland's Parliament, from an IRA strong
hold near the border with Northern Ireland.
The Dail is on summer recess and the earliest it could
proclaim a by-election would be late October.
Doherty was the first member of the Irish Parliament
to die fasting since Terence MacSwiney, lord mayor of
Cork and an IRA commander. McSwiney died Oct. 25,
1920, in London's Brixton prison after fasting 74 days.
Sinn Fein said Saturday that a new hunger striker
would take Lynch's place soon, but gave no name. It
also said Doherty and other fasters would be replaced
when they died. Five prisoners are still fasting.
After Lynch died, rioters pelted police with debris and
gasoline bombs in several sections of Belfast. One boy
was seriously hurt when a booby-trapped British flag
blew up as he tried to remove it from a stanchion.
Catholic churchmen among them Bishop Edward
Daly of Londonderry had appealed to the hunger
strikers' families to save the protesters' lives by autho
rizing medical attention.
On Friday, when 29-year-old hunger striker Paddy
Quinn became comatose, his widowed mother instruct
ed doctors to intervene. After 36 hours of intensive care
he regained consciousness in a Belfast hospital. He had
fasted 47 days.
"It seems his life has been saved," said the Rev.
Christopher Mohan, the Quinn family's priest. "He has
been conscious for long periods and is aware of what is
happening."
Mohen said Quinn showed no signs of repudiating his
mother's actions. Despite speculation her intervention
would start similar moves by other relatives, none had
shown signs of following her lead.
A statement issued on behalf of the hunger strikers by
their supporters, who said it was smuggled from the
Maze, declared, "We are not prepared to surrender to
the British. We stand by our demands."
survived for 54 hours on the electronical
ly controlled twin-chambered plastic de
vice until a donor heart was found.
The body of a 27-year-old Tennessee
laborer, who suffered irreversible brain
damage during oral surgery for a broken
jaw suffered in an auto accident, was
flown to Houston shortly before midnight
on July 25 and Meuffels received the
transplant.
The human heart functioned well, but
Meuffel's natural defense mechanisms
were suppressed to prevent rejection of
the transplanted organ and he became
more susceptible to infection, Haby said.
The FDA, which regulates the use of
experimental devices, has asked the hos
pital for a report on the Meuffels case
and officials say they will make their
conclusions after they have reviewed the
information.
