Flight Lt Martin Temple of the Royal Air Force, who took part in the n have drifted clear of the site and by Friday night, was wallowing in severe winds about 70 miles off the northeastern coast of England. Fires aboard the ship later died down, flaring only intermittently. The captain, chief engineer and chief officer stayed aboard to try to lay anchors, and were not thought to be in immediate danger, said Defense Ministry spokesman Nigel Gillies. The Orleans was leaking crude from a hole in its right side, but Allan said the heavy seas were breaking up the oil slick and there was no immediate danger of coastline pollution. The trawler sustained only minor damage and none of its crew were injured. The Dutch tugboat Smitlloyd 123 secured a towline to the Orleans, but the line broke after 34 hours. The crew was battling choppy seas and sharp winds Friday night to secure another line, Allan said. rescue, said it was difficult to reach the crewmen in the storm-tosseseas. d "The whole of the ship was ablaze from midship aft, and there was a lot of smoke and flames," he said "Oil was alight in the water " helicopter navigator, Flight Lt Geoff Clark, said burning oil poured from the Orleans. "It was rolling on the swell, and each time it rolled down, splashes of burning oil gushed out into the sea," he said A However, Department of Transport spokesman George Allan said the smoldering tanker appeared to Reagan Warns Congress to Bury Plans for Killing His Budget By Michael Putzel Associated Press Writer President Reagan said Friday the "gravediggers" on Capitol Hill who try to dispose of his proposed spending cuts every time he sends them up "better put away their shovels. . .because were not burying our budget." "Ive heard our budget will be DOA dead on arrival maybe even dead before arrival," Reagan told a group of business and trade representatives at a meeting set up to win public support for his spending package, which he will submit to Congress early in February. Well, the gravediggers better put away their shovels and get out their hammers because were not burying our budget, Reagan said. We intend to get that budget passed and to build a prosperity that lasts for all the American people.

It was identified by William Herschel, a German-bomusician and amateur astronomer working in Bath, England. Even though Voyager's observations at closest approach have yet to be analyzed, scientists reported Friday that several discoveries made as the craft headed in toward Uranus. They found "firm confirmation that Uranus has a magnetic field and that it appeared to be somewhat stronger than earlier radio data had indicated. They also reported observations of solar particles interacting with the planets magnetic field and released pictures showing new detail of the planets rings and five largest moons. Flight controllers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory here reported that Voyager came within 50,679 miles of the bluish-greeclouds of Uranus at 12:59 p.m. EST, slightly more than a minute behind the flight schedule that was calculated five years and nearly a billion miles ago. Dr. Bradford A. Smith, head of the team, photographic interpretation said new photographs of Titania and Oberon, the two largest moons, with diameters of about 1,000 miles, revealed many bright spots from which radiated streaks of bright material. These appeared to be evidence of extensive meteorite impacts, he said, that exposed the ice underlying the generally gray surfaces of the satellites.

The CLIP Chr s.ilt Calif Snluinr - WASHINGTON (UPI) President Reagan will send an official delegation to monitor next month's contro- versial presidential election in the Philippines with Richard as the chairman, Lugars office said Friday. Secretary of Sen. State Lu-ga- r. George Shultz telephoned Lugar, chairman of the Senate For- - Richard Lugar eign Relations Committee, Friday to report "the president would be happy to have Lugar lead the delegation," said Lugar press secretary Mark Hclmkc. He said Lugar would work with the State Department to put together a delegation of observers in the coming days. The White House was expected to announce Reagan's decision later in the day. Shultz met with Reagan at the White House Friday afternoon before calling Lugar, who announced on Capitol Hill earlier his recommendation that Reagan send an official team of election observers. Ilelmke suid Reagan had received an official invitation from President I a Ferdinand Marcos to send the observers. The election pits Marcos against the strongest challenge he has ever faced, Corazon Aquino, wife of slain opposition leader Benigno Aquino. There is concern worldwide that the elections will be rigged and Lugar warned that the presence of such a delegation should not be interpreted as a validation of the election process nor its results. "While the delegation may watch the election closely, there are clear limitations on its potential role. Only a few of the 90,000 voting places can be visited. Only a handful of the 20 million Filipino voters can be interviewed." he said. Lugar acknowledged that several members of his own committee "have strong doubts as to the political w ill of the Marcos government to allow a genuinely free and fair election " Sen, Claiborne Pell. the committee Democrat, said Thursday that sending official observers might give a "seal of approval to the results." And Sens. Christound Alan pher Dodd, Cranston, D Calif said they already have written off the election as a "fraud " . 43 A-- HERES WHERE TO CALL 1 p m i 237-29U- i.Monday New Frida, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. scriptions i Art Dept.

Davis to withdraw from the U.S. Senate race and the consideration bribe was the . . .payment of Davis' alleged campaign deficits, Beason said.
