Senate faces deadline on increasing the
WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) Despite a last
minute plea from President Reagan, the Senate
refused yesterday to choke off debate on a propo
sal mandating a balanced budget by 1991 and left
in doubt urgently needed legislation to continue
the government's borrowing authority.
The Senate voted 57-38 for the so-called cloture
motion to limit debate on the amendment, but it
was seven votes short of the necessary two-thirds
majority and meant that further action on increas
ing the national debt limit remained stalled.
The meaning of the tally was muddled because it

36 vote that tabled in effect killed a move for a
small increase in the debt limit that would, have
removed the pressure to act now.
After the votes, it was unclear when a debt limit
increase could be passed, although another vote to
shut off debate was scheduled for today.
"The government will not shut down tomorrow.
Money will still be coming in," said Senate Majori
ty Leader Robert Dole, R-Kan.
However, Dole continued pressing for action
saying, "The American people think we've gone
bonkers because we won't do anything."

University strike reportedly averted
HARRISBURG (AP) A tentative agreement was reached
Saturday in negotiations between the state university system and
the union representing faculty members at the 14 universities,
according to the union.
A recorded message on a telephone "hotline" operated by the
Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Fac
ulties said the agreement was reached early Saturday, but no
date has been set for a ratification vote.
The recording said union members will be briefed on the
tentative settlement during the coming week. No other details
were available.
The announcement comes two weeks before a strike deadline
set by the union, which represents more than 4,000 faculty
members.
Federal mediator Thomas Quinn has imposed a news blackout
on the talks. A spokeswoman for the state university system could
not be reached for comment.

Body of patient found in closet
LOS ANGELES (AP) The decomposed body of a man
believed to be a mentally retarded patient at a state-licensed
board and care home was found in a closet that had been nailed
shut, and police were seeking the home's manager.
A neighbor said the six patients at the Heaven's Crest board and
care home were often left unattended, screams could be heard
from the home and the live-in manager, Rudolph "Rudy" Harris,
43, sometimes appeared to be intoxicated.
"We are treating this case as a homicide," police Detective
J.D. Furr said, adding that Harris was being sought for question
ing.
The body found Friday was believed to be that of Ray Walker,
31, an epileptic and mentally retarded patient who entered the
home in February and was last seen at the end of August, officials
said.
The owner of the home in south-central Los Angeles, Yasmi
Miller, found Walker's body fully clothed and wrapped in blan
kets. A handyman at the home had called Miller when Harris
failed to show up for work Thursday or Friday, police said.
The cause of death had not been determined and it was unclear
if the man was dead before being put in the closet.
Police Lt. William Hall said there appeared to have been
attempts to conceal the body's presence in the closet.
"There was incense burned and a whole lot of Pine Sol (scented
cleaner) on the floor," Hall said.
Furr said the patients at the home, licensed to care for six, were
too severely retarded to assist in the investigation.
The California Community Care Licensing Board, which licens
es the home, will conduct its own investigation, police said.
Shuttle to end secret mission today
SPACE CENTER, Houston (AP) The space shuttle Atlantis
will complete its secret military mission and maiden voyage with
a landing today in California, the Air Force and the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration said.
"All systems aboard the space skittle Atlantis continue to
perform satisfactorily," said a terse announcement from Mission
Control at 1 p.m. yesterday. "The crew is doing well•and at this
time is beginning preparations for a landing at Edwards Air
Force Base."
The five-man crew is to land at 1 p.m. EDT on a dry lake bed in
the Mojave Desert at Edwards Air Force Base.
The landing announcement was the first official release about
the mission since a brief progress report fori hours after Atlantis
was launched last Thursday from the Kennedy Space. Center in
Florida.
The landing will complete a four-day mission that included the
launch of two $lOO million military satellites and a shakedown
cruise for Atlantis, the newest and last planned member of
NASA's fleet of four space shuttles.
Neither NASA or the Department of Defense would confirm
deployment of the military satellites, but reliable sources said the
craft were successfully ejected from the shuttle's cargo bay.
The sources said the two satellites were linked on a single
rocket engine which later fired to place the two craft in a
geostationary orbit 22,300 miles above the Earth. Later, the
satellites parted and guided themselves to separate work stations
in the high orbit.
A NASA spokesman said the crew spent some time testing
systems aboard the $l.l billion Atlantis, and that no problems
were reported.
Public release circuits, which usually carry air-to-ground
conversations with the astronauts and briefings by NASA officials
to reporters, were silent during the mission. The launch time of
the shuttle was also kept secret until nine minutes before its
rockets ignited.
The military secrecy is intended to hinder surveillance of the
launch and satellite release by the Soviets.
It was the second dedicated military shuttle flight. A spy
satellite was reported. deplayed on the earlier mission.
Reliable sources said Atlantis' prime payload was two Defense
Satellite Communications Systems satellites, a new type of craft
know as DSCS : 3. The satellites are described as jam-proof and
shielded against the electromagnetic bursts created by nuclear
explosions which can short out unshielded electronic equipment.

New agency will aid poor nations
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) The World Bank will approve the
formation •of an agency this week to promote urgently needed
foreign investment in the Third World, a top bank official said
yesterday.
"The world debt crisis and the resulting decline in commercial
lending to developing countries have created an urgent need for
increased direct investment flows to these countries," World
Bank Vice President Ibrahim Shihata said.
The bank's board of governors, in Seoul for a week-long
meeting with the International Monetary Fund, is expected to
approve the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency on Fri
day, Shihata said.
The agency will go into force once 20 countries five developed
and 15 developing agree to take part and contribute $360 million
for the agency's capital, which is expected to eventually reach $1
billion.
Shihata, who is also general counsel to the bank, said he hopes
the agency will begin functibning within a year.
Direct foreign investment to poor countries fell from a high of
$l7 billion in 1981 to $8 billion in 1983, according to World Bank
figures.
Concerns about political risks in developing countries had been
a "formidable barrier" to investments, said Shihata, an Egyptian
who is a former international law professor.
"This establishes the case for a mechanism designed to
alleviate and manage such risks," he said.
The proposed agency will guarantee investments in its member
developing countries against non-commercial risks, including
certain breaches of contract by the host government, war and
civil unrest.
Some Latin American countries are reportedly wary of the
scheme because they believe local as well as foreign investors
should benefit from the guarantees.
Similar agencies have been proposed before, but supporters of
the current plan say it will create an improved investment
atmosphere and not just be an insurance mechanism.
The proposed agency will provide, advice, technical aid and
information on investment to developing member countries,
Shihata said.
