Show The Sail Luke Tribune, The Sentiment Behind By Cliff Haas Associated Press Writer Legal experts familiar with the Supreme Court have estimated that the justices will hear arguments in May and issue a ruling by July. The impact is unclear on the 1987 fiscal year which begins Oct. 1, but prolonged legals battles obviously could create chaos. Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole, said, "1 would hope we would operate as if we were under that (Oct 1) deadline," pending a Supreme Court decision. The new law sets annual, declining deficit targets for Congress and the White House to meet to bring the budget into balance by 1991. The court left those targets alone. But the law also says the Congressional Budget Office and the White House Office of Management and Budget are to determine whether the - WASHINGTON A special federal court panel may have dealt a blow to the Gramm-Rudmabalanced-budge- t law Friday, but the statute is far from dead. For one thing, the three-judgn e court specifically noted that the effect of its ruling is delayed until the matter can be decided by the Supreme Court. That leaves nothing to block the $117 billion in automatic spending cuts scheduled to take place March under the law. Moreover. Congress may find it politically impossible to ignore the law's future deficit targets no matter what the Supreme Court eventually decides on the narrow legal issue of how the the cuts to reach those targets can be imposed 1 across-the-boar- May Keep It Alive Gramm-Rudma- n and Senate.

He pulled himself onto a life boat and drifted nearly a week. His body broke out in sores from his extended exposure to the sea and sun and he had a scary encounter with a shark. "Once the boat settled and I realized it wasn't going to sink. I got my courage together and dove below to see if there was enough air and, maybe. enough living space," Carl Dunn III. 40. said in his hotel room in Waikiki after his arrival in Hawaii Thursday. But there wasn't and Dunn spent the next six days waiting for help in his life boat. But not without incident. "One night I felt what I thought was a sea turtle bumping against the bottom of the raft and I got my oar out to stab at its eyes. he said. "It's their only unprotected place. That scares them. That gets rid of them. "But it turned out to be about a shark That was. uh. a little gripping" Two freighters passed Dunn without noticing five flares he shot off. An unfavorable ruling by the Supreme Court also would increase the rift between Congress and the White House over budget priorities. The new law calls for any automatic cuts to be equally divided between domestic and military spending.
