Two professional actors, Maurice Benard and Frances Fisher, will play the wacky couple in a TV movie. The two were introduced Monday as the stars of "Lucy and Desi: Before the Laughter." Hundreds of lookalikes, many of them amateurs, turned out for cattle calls in New York, Miami and Los Angeles during the search for the perfect Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. Fisher, who bears little resemblance to Ball without makeup, has appeared in the TV movies "Cold Sassy Tree," "Home" and "Broken Vows." Benard, who played Nico Kelly on the soap opera "All My Children," looks a little like a young Arnaz. Benard is practicing on a conga. "It's big shoes to fill.

He opposed the plan adopted court-ordere- Y : - J K y Hi U a. However, Fitzwater said that nothing should be read into the fact that Gingrich's name had been omitted. Bush already talked to Gingrich, the spokesman said, "and we'll talk to him again." "We're talking to everybody," Fitzwater said. "There are a lot of people who disagree with this, a lot of people have trouble with it and they need to be convinced. And we're doing our best." On Bush's plan to go on television, Fitzwater said, "We don't have anything scheduled yet, but he has indicated he would like to go on TV." He suggested a prime-tim- e address to the nation was possible something Bush himself suggested on Monday. "The deficit must be dealt with and it's not an easy fix," Fitzwater said. n "Everybody knew this agreement was an ugly duckling," said Sen. James Sasser, chairman of the Senate Budget Committee. "Nobody expected it to sprout wings and fly like a swan." But Bush put an optimistic face on prospects of approval. "It will all work out.

But reluctance to support the package comes from members of both parties. Republicans are leery of its $134 billion in new taxes on gasoline, alcohol, tobacco, airline tickets, incomes of the wealthy and other items. They also complained that defense cuts of up to $182 billion were too deep and that domestic programs were not pared enough. Numerous Democrats don't like the package's $105 billion in spending reductions for benefit programs such as Medicare and the fact that such as those many of the taxes on gasoline and alcohol take a deep bite out of poor peoples' incomes. And lawmakers of both parties from states are furious over the plan's inclusion of a tax on home heating oil. cold-weath- er False alarm sends Israelis to shelters A faulty JERUSALEM (AP) siren signaled "air attack" in Jerusalem today, sending Israelis scurrying into bomb shelters less than 24 hours after the government decided to distribute gas masks to the public. It took a half hour before radio announcers broke into regular programs to calm hundreds of anxious callers with the news that the siren system went off by accident. Israel announced Monday it start distributing gas masks would to its million 4.7 citizens. The announcement followed repeated threats by Iraqi President Saddam nnrr place- - to piacerirr with chemical weapons. aircraft and autos. Nielson also criticized the budget makers relying on assumptions about the economy. As ic an example, he pointed to the assumption that the Gross National Product, the yardstick for economic growth, would rise by 3 percent. "We have not had that for several years, and I don't think we should count on it at this critical time," he said. In the end, Nielson said the budget makers displayed a lack of courage in their plan and across-the-boacuts might be the best way to force a spending cut. He rd also said recently created programs, such as child care and relief for disabled people, should be deferred to reap some savings. "Eventually, we're going to have to decide whether we're going to have real reductions or whether we're going to continue the charade we've had through the years," he concluded. According to the Associated Press, three other members of Utah's congressional delegation have expressed unhappiness n with the package. Rep. Wayne Owens, the sole Democrat in the delegation, said the package "stinks," while Rep. James Hansen said he was inclined to vote against it. Sens. Jake Garn and Orrin Hatch said they were studying the budget pact, and Hatch said he was "not happy with it." An Army spokesman, Brig. Gen. Nachman Shai, noted today that the siren system breaks down occasionally. Jerusalem Mayor Teddy Kollek said the false alarm came at the worst time. "What was especially unpleasant was ... this occurred with the announcement to distribute the masks. It is clear that everyone was nervous," Kollek said on Israel radio. A similar warning siren was set off as a test Monday night in Kiryat Ata near Haifa, and jeeps with loudspeakers went through the town telling citizens the warning was false. not have our freedom." The three Western allies will keep troops in Berlin, however, (Continued from Page Al) Nationwide, Germans prepared for the party of the century to ring in unification at midnight. Chancellor Helmut Kohl will lead the revelers, who are expected to party into the early morning hours in Berlin and throughout Germany. The Berlin festivities have been threatened by violence from leftist and rightist radicals. At this morning's ceremony, the outgoing U.S. commandant, Maj. Gen. Raymond E. Haddock, said: "The determination of France, Great Britain and the United States of America to guarantee and protect freedom and democracy in this city has been crowned with cess." His counterparts Maj. Gen. Robert J.S. Corbett of Britain and Maj. Gen. Francois Cann of France also congratulated their fellow allies and Berliners for their determination to keep West Berlin as a democratic island amid the Soviet-hel- d East Germany for more than four decades. The Soviets, as one of the victorious powers in the war, were equal members of the Berlin until 1948 when the Cold War started and turned Berlin into a flash point of a deeply divided Europe. One flagpole outside the building remains vacant for a Soviet flag. Inside, the photographs of the current outgoing Allied commandants share a wall with a photo of the last Soviet general of 1948. People in a crowd of about 100 watched the flags being lowered and said they were sad to see the Allies leave. "Our three friends are going, not four," said Juergen Mirschenz, 56. "When the Russians went away long ago, that was good, the Western Allies were our good friends. Without them perhaps we would until the Soviets finish withdrawing their forces from East Germany over the next four years. Kohl told a convention of his Christian Democratic Union in Hamburg that Germany faces three immense tasks: the reconstruction of formerly Commuiv'st East Germany, the completion of European integration and the taking on of a greater international role. "We still have a difficult way ahead of us. And for the huge tasks which lie before us, we will have to make sacrifices," he declared. Djc Pat(t) Herald (I.S.S.N.
