Shultz arranged a Friday morning meeting with two former Cabinet members, Labor Minister Bias Op le and Deputy Premier Jose Rono, and members of the three disbanded National Assembly.

The protesters carried signs reading, ''Dismantle U.S. Bases," and "Implication of Shultz Visit: Economic Chaos." Along the airport road, other placards protested U.S. military aid to the Philippines and cautioned Aquino: "Cory, Beware of a Wolf in Sheep's Skin."

Lyashko said Moscow was informed about the explosion at the Chernobyl reactor on April 26, the day it occurred. But officials in the Soviet capital did not learn the full gravity of the situation for two days. According to Lyashko, 84.000 people have been evacuated and the 204 people officially reported injured were workers at the power station, not members of the general public. Officially the death toll is two, but the official Yugoslav news agency Tanjug said in a dispatch from Moscow that a third person died in a Kiev hospital. Lyashko's statements seemed to contradict those of Deputy Soviet Premier Boris Y. Shcherbina. who said Tuesday that the government inquiry he heads arrived at the scene within hours of the initial explosion. Shcherbina said workers at the plant initially underestimated the scope of the accident. Asked about delays in evacuation, Lyashko said: "The accident developed in an unusual way, not as scientific knowledge would have predicted. First, there was a small explosion and a small radioactive emission. "The measurements at first showed there was nothing to fear," he added, saying the later decision to zone was "insurclear an ance."

After a day of raucous debate, the budget rolled through the Democratic-dominated panel on a vote of along party lines. One Republican, Rep. Vin Weber of Minnesota, joined the Democrats in favor of the budget. voted Rep. Henson Moore, not taking a side. "present" House Budget Committee Chairman William Gray. said the spending plan would protect the elderly and children while allocating adequate resources to the Pentagon though far less than what President Reagan requested. But Republican members of the panel protested the plan had been rammed through by the Democrats without regard to the minority. "They just roll us," sighed Rep. Connie Mack, "They know they can roll us. There was no serious attempt at bipartisanship." The Democratic spending plan for fiscal 1987, revised after committee members voted to add money for Medicare and NASA, would cut the deficit to $137 billion next year significantly below the $144 bill!on deficit target required by the Gramm-Rudmabalanced budget law mostly due to the defense spending cuts and the requirement that proposed new taxes go for deficit reduction.

Gray said. Committee approval of the plan came after members overwhelmingly rejected two Republican attempts to increase money for defense, one which would have brought spending up to the Senate level, and another that would have taken it up about half way. Members also voted to add $250 million to Medicare and $200 million for NASA. Both amendments increased the deficit. The Pentagon bristled at the Democrats proposed $35 billion cut from Reagan's request, charging it "would destroy the recent and impressive momentum we have made in rearming America." The Democratic budget calls for $13 billion in new revenues, the same as the Senate, but $7 billion more than Reagan requested. The tax fig'ire takes into account $2.5 billion already enacted with the extension of the cigarette tax. About $6 billion of the revenue comes from sales of government assets and "user fees" on things like fishing licenses and grazing cf cattle on federal lands. GOP-dominat- |
