No higher taxes in Union speech?
WASHINGTON (API - President Reagan will tell Congress and the American people tonight that he will not seek higher taxes, but that the states will have to take over approximatelv 40 federal programs, well-placed sources say. Reagan summoned Republican congressional leaders to a White House meeting this morning to begin rounding up the help that will be crucial to passing the program he will outline in his State of the Union speech. The address, to a joint session of the House and Senate, and a nationwide television and radio audience, is to begin at 9 p in. EST. “When you turn on the TV. you'll get a heavy dose of budget economics and the president’s hopes to legislatively implement his program; federalism initiatives, and a brief overview of foreign policy with some stern words toward intervention in the Western Hemisphere and stern words
Suslov dies at 79
MOSCOW (AP) - Mikhail Andreyevich Suslov, the Kremlin’s top ideologist, has died at age 79, his office said today. A spokesman said he died Monday. A Soviet source said Suslov, a member of the Communist Party’s ruling Politburo, died of unspecified heart trouble. Suslov, sometimes known as the “red professor,” was

about Poland,” said one White House official. At the heart of the president's budget deliberations were projections that without additional spending cuts or new taxes, the federal deficit would balloon to more than SIOO billion in fiscal 1983, which begins next Oct. 1. One plan to increase federal excise taxes on whiskey, wine, gasoline and tobacco products was said to have been calculated to raise enough money to hold the deficit to SBO billion. Although several well-placed sources said the tax plan was rejected, the SBO billion deficit figure “is still there," the White House official said. He did not indicate what steps are contemplated to reduce the figure from SIOO billion to SBO billion. Woven throughout the speech will be an emphasis on what the president calls “New Federalism,” his proposals to hand over to the states some of the programs he thinks should be administered closer to home.
responsible for preserving Marxist doctrine. But in the private circles where he operated behind the towering brick walls of the Kremlin, he may have counted as much as a kingmaker as an ideologist. Above all, Suslov, who was born Nov. 21,1902, was known to Western Kremlinologists for his doctrinaire views dating back to the 1930 s and 19405.

Vietnam Veterans Memorial aided by Legion's $1 million WASHINGTON (AP) Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund President Jan Scruggs says a $1 million pledge from the American Legion was the biggest example of an outpouring of support from across the country in the wake of a congressional attack on the design for the memorial. Scruggs Monday made public a telegram sent by American Legion Commander Jack W. Flynt to Interior Secretary James Watt. The telegram announced the monetary pledge and urged Watt to give final approval for the memorial on the Mall. Flynt said he reviewed the design by Maya Ying Lin of Athens, Ohio, and was “deeply concerned by Watt’s hesitancy in approving construction of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.” Before construction can start. Watt must certify that the memorial fund has the resources to complete the project. The pledge by the Legion brings the fund to $5 million, and Scruggs said he is sure he can raise the additional $1 or $2 million needed to complete the project. Flynt called the memorial "a dignified and eloquent tribute to the service and sacrifice of Vietnam veterans.” Watt jolted Scruggs earlier this month, after a group of Republican congressmen sent a letter to President Reagan attacking the design, by announcing the memorial had not received final approval. Critics have charged that the "V” shape of the memorial represents the peace sign that became the emblem of antiwar protestors. Scruggs, who hopes to get construction on the monument started by March 1, said he will meet late this week with principal critics and expects to “come up with a compromise that will keep everyone happy.” He declined to detail the compromise but indicated he was acting on suggestions that came out of his meeting with Watt. “It is disheartening a controversy and divisiveness once again threatens the cause of the Vietnam veteran,” Flynt’s telegram read. “The memorial’s critics say nothing which overshadows the significance of memorializing now the courage and patriotism of the Americans who served in Vietnam.” The memorial is being built with private contributions.

Senate set for vote on Indiana lottery bill
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - A constitutional amendment allowing a state lottery in Indiana was eligible for a final vote today in the state Senate. The measures cleared the amendment stage Monday as the Legislature reached the halfway point of its 30 working days. The House paved the way for a final vote on a bill to require doctors to tell parents about an unwed minor daughter’s decision to get an abortion. The Indiana Constitution bars lotteries. The state Supreme Court has interpreted that to extend to betting on horse races. In 1979, the high court struck down a 1977 pari-mutuel racing law. Sens. John Bushemi, D-Gary, and Joseph Harrison, R-Attica, want to amend the Constitution to allow a lottery with proceeds divided between state and local governments. The Senate Monday turned back three language changes that would ease the way for pari-mutuel betting. Bushemi objected to the changes

doesn’t intend to call a lottery amendment for a vote. If passed by the 1982 Legislature, the measure would have to be approved again in 1983 and in a public referendum. The House considered amendments to a the abortion notification bill. Lawmakers voted 52-41 against an amendment by Rep. Marilyn F. Schultz, D-Bloomington, to require doctors to give contraceptive information to girls’ seeking abortions. A child restraint bill eligible for a final vote today would require drivers to strap infants and children up to 3 years old in child passenger restraint seats. Children 3-5 would have to use seat belts. Violators stopped by police would have 30 days to show proof of using child restraints before risking a SSOO fine. The bill, which would take effect July 1, 1983, was amended to
