The latest reports in national news from United Press International Mubarak Urges Talks - which the United States requires- before entering talks with the PLO. WASHINGTON (UPI) Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak is urging President Reagan to break with U.S. policy and open direct talks with the Palestine Liberation Organization but chances are slim his appeal today will succeed. The Egyptian leader's mission to the White House has a second goal persuading Reagan to increase aid to his economically beleagured nation by $870 million. That plea is likely to be unheeded because of the federal budget crunch. , A senior administration official told reporters at the White House Monday that Reagan is not inclined to agree with either request and wants no misinterpretation during the private session today between the two heads of state and at their working lunch. " ; ( - Mubarak wants the United States to put derailed Middle East peace efforts back on track by confering with a delegation representing the PLO and Jordan an alliance formed last month. The official sounded encouraging notes on the Middle East peace situation because of "movement" on the Arab side but said there will be no change in U.S. policy regarding the PLO.

ResolM-tion- s 242 and 338, which call for a return of occupied Arab lands in exchange for the recognition of Israel's right to exist. Jordan's King Hussein and PLO leader Yassir Arafat last month agreed on a framework for common action in resolving the Middle East situation. The pact, bow-eve- r, left vague whether or not the Palestinian group formally accepts Israel's right to exist The official said the pact amounts to one of the "most active and ... most interesting developments since (Egyptian President Anwar) Sadat went to Jerusalem." Addressing the aid request, the senior official said Reagan's re- sponse to Mubarak is: "While his economic needs are compelling, we must consider our own budget," which is running a deficit of around $200 billion a year. Reagan already has asked Congress to approve $1.3 billion in military aid, $815 million in economic assistance and $223 million in food aid to Egypt for 1986. Mubarak later today was scheduled to confer on Capitol Hill with congressional leaders. Tonight, he attends a dinner in his honor at the State Department, which Reagan will host. Vice President George Bush was to host the affair but instead is attending the state funeral in Moscow for Soviet leader Chernenko. Secretary of State George Shultz also is part of the U.S. delegation. Mubarak met privately Monday with rsveral top officials, including Shultz, Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger and Treasury Opposition to Taxes Is 'Strong as Onions' - WASHINGTON (UPI) President Reagan, said by aides to be "as strong as 10 pounds of onions" in opposing new taxes, sent a strong signal to Congress today that any attempt to use higher taxes to reduce the deficit will meet with a veto. talk" in the Senate Budget Committee that Citing "behind-the-scentax increases may be necessary if spending cut targets are not met, White House spokesman Larry Speakes said Reagan is determined to "not accept new taxes." "Trading spending cuts for new taxes is absolutely the wrong answer," Speakes said. "We have a blueprint for reducing the deficit. That's cutting spending. The committee should forget taxes and get down to the business of cutting spending." The warning to Congress came in response to weekend comments by Sen. Pete Domenici, chairman of the budget panel, that If his members reject big spending cuts, "they're going to have to put taxes In the resolution." "The committee is moving very quickly toward taxes it seems to me," Domenici said.
