Wednesday to promote William Bradford Reynolds, the Justice Department civil rights chief who became a target of those opposed to the president's civil rights policies. Senate Majority Leader Robert Dole announced on the Senate floor that he was abandoning efforts to win confirmation for Reynolds as associate attorney general, the Justice job. Department s Dole said the decision was made after consulting with Whtte House Chief of Staff Donald Regan and Attorney General Edwin Meese III. Reynolds remains in his current job as assistant attorney general for civil rights. The senator said Regan and Meese told him it would not be their intent to ask us Senate Republicans to pursue this matter further." A White House official, who spoke only on condition he not be named, said. Both sides, the Senate and White House, looked at all the numbers. all the possibilities, and it didnt as much as seem to be in the cards the White House and Senate leadership wished it would happen. It's too bad, because William Bradford Reynolds is an outstanding public servant." Reynolds' nomination has been stalled in the Senate Judiciary Committee, which declined in three separate votes to advance his name to the full Senate. third-rankin- g Civil rights organizations lobbied for months to defeat Reynolds. They researched his record for Senate opponents, who then turned the information into accusations that Reynolds misled the Senate in sworn testimony and refused to enforce civ- - Methanol Cars Need A Push, Says Aide - WASHINGTON (UPI) Cars fueled by methanol perform better and pollute less but are unlikely to be 0 available to consumers until unless Congress acts, an automomid-199- bile industry official said Wednesday. An executive director of General Motors, Richard Klimisch, told lawmakers that the synthetic fuel and vehicles that can use it will only be de- veloped if Congress increases economic incentives for automakers to do so. and Sen. Rep. Bob Wise, John Danforth, have introduced legislation to encourage automobile manufacturers to develop methanol-fuelevehicles. Their bills would give manufacturers fuel economy credits under the federally mandated Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards for vehicles equipped to operate on at least 85 percent methanol, thereby reducing petroleum consumption. But Klimisch, who heads the d car-make- environmental activities staff, said the legislation would have its greatest impact only after the fuel is generally available at a favorable price relative to gasoline and after neat methanol vehicles have been developed, tested and placed in No Sign Negotiations Will Resume il rights law!.

Mathias of Maryland Julius Chambers, d.rector counsel Legal Defense and of the NAACP Education Fund, said, "It was brought home that Mr. Reynolds really represented a symbol of most of the things the administration had advanced that would turn back the clock. In that light, he was challenged by civil nghts groups, who felt it important to speak out." The only other avenue for the White House would have been a recess appointment made by President Reagan while the Senate is on its Au-uvacation. But that would have E rought a strong protest from senators, and the Republican leadership had cautioned the White House against such a move.

February K$ - Three en- vironmental groups accused the Bureau of Land Management on Wednesday of allowing degradation and mismanagement of possible future wilderness areas and catering to mining and oil company interests. Representatives of The Wilderness Society, Sierra Club and Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance said they want an explanation Thursday when Interior Secretary Donald Hodel testifies before a congressional panel. Ilndel is scheduled to appear before the House Interior Public Lands subcommittee oversight hearing into BLM wilderness study areas. The panel heard from environmentalists at a similar hearing in April. Secretary Hodel has had more than three months to study these examples of wilderness degradation and mismanagement of the BLM wilderness study process," the environmentalists said. Terry Sopher, who directs BLM programs for The Wilderness Society, said the Interior Department has identified 1,955 incidents of "surface disturbances in wilderness study areas, which are supposed to be kept in pristine condition in case Congress decides to designate them for permanent preservation. Activities included creating roads, chopping down trees, grazing lived stock and driving vehicles, said. Sopher Some actions were condoned, he said, citing the case of a miner who bulldozed an illegal road in California's Merced River wilderness study y area, then obtained a BLM. the from permit The environmentalists said other wilderness study areas were scarred when grazing was authorized in 14 areas of Oregons Vale District, seismic testing allowed on New Mexico's West Potnilo Mountains, and Exxon was issued an oil and gas lease on Mount Ellen in Washington state and road, permitted to build a seven-mil- e drilling rig and drilling pad the size of two football fields. said legislators needed to exorcise the devils of bad feeling" and then try to get as much as we can get," deficit-reductio- AL Selected ond by Bryon Sterling AH rights reteryed tor the Will Rogers Memorial. Illegal roads have been built through wilderness study areas in California, Oregon, Idaho, New Mexico and Colorado, they said. A water pipeline was proposed along Idaho's Little Jacks Creek that would allow livestock grazing on some of the nation's last remaining virgin grassland, where rare bighorn sheep live, they said. In Californias Mojave Desert, where the sandy soil is so fragile it still bears the scars of World War II military maneuvers by Gen. George Patton, 1,000 dirt bikers racing through the Soda Mountains from Barstow to Las Vegas created a swath the width of a four-lan- e highway, Sopher said. We are saying most of these activities never should have occurred," he said. "The areas were supposed to be protected and they werent. Among the 1,955 surface disturbances identified since 1979, only 137 occurred as a result of valid permits to use the land, 281 were legal violations and in the remaining 1,537 cases, the BLM decided it wouldnt damage the land, Sopher said. It was unclear when, or if, the Senate would make a counterproposal to the House plan which had been rejected. Everywhere I turn, it appears there's no way to go, Domemci said. Senate bargainers had spent the day picking over the House's latest budget compromise offer, complaining that the package violates a framework agreed to with President Reagan by including too little for military spending. Senators also said the House had not done enough to achieve domestic spending cuts. After the talks collapsed, House Spesker Thomas P. ONeill Jr., issued a statement saying he was disappointed the Senate decided to pull away from the conference ta- e 20-piec- portrait collection IS wollol I Mlt ble.

Gray had said earlier, What we have to do at this point is decide whether we're going to have a budget or not have a budget. Gray suggested that the Senate is no longer serious about reaching a compromise. The congressional talks are aimed at drafting a compromise version of the fiscal 1986 budgets passed by the House and Senate.
