WASHINGTON (AP) - President
Reagan, freezing some programs
while deep freezing others, is ten-
tatively calling for elimination of
federal revenue sharing for the
states and phasing out subsidies for
mass transportation as part of a plan
to slash domestic spending by nearly
834 billion next year.
Reagan's decisions, reviewed with
his Cabinet on Wednesday and later
shared with Republican members of
Congress, would freeze spending for
the 1986 fiscal year at current levels
for hundreds of federal programs.
Federal employees would be forc-
ed to take a 5 percent pay cut under
the plan tentatively approved by the
president, said the sources. Cost-of-
living increases would be frozen for
several programs, including food
stamps, veterans' retirement
benefits, railroad retirement and
black lung payments, according to
sources, who spoke on condition they
wouldn't be be identified by name.
Other programs, such as the Small
Business Administration and the
Community Development Block
Grant Program, would be cut back
dramatically, and one source said
the federal program of farm price
supports would be cut by half over
three years.
Still other programs, such as
revenue sharing, the Legal Services

After considering remarks from area hunters and landowners at a
public hearing Monday in Amarillo, the Texas Parks and Wildlife
Commission voted Wednesday to lower the bag limit from three to
two pheasant per day during the hunting season that starts Satur-
day.
The 5-1 vote also means the "in-possession" limit is reduced from
six to four. Only cocks can be hunted during the 16-day season
While some have complained that word of the change may not
reach all hunters by Saturday, local Game Warden Chuck Cosper
said the limit will be enforced nonetheless. "Anybody caught with
more than two birds will be filed on," he said Wednesday just after
the decision was announced.
The action was based primarily on the fact that the pheasant
population in the Panhandle is down as much as 48 percent this year
The Commission has not been able to give a definite reason why the
census is low, but said heavy hunting of cocks does not seem to con-
tribute to the decline

would be eliminated or phased out
over several years. The Urban
Development Action Grant program
would be phased out, for example, as
would the federal subsidy for the
Postal Service.
One congressman briefed by
Budget Director David Stockman
said Social Security wasn’t affected
by the president's plan. But sources
said the Department of Housing and
Urban Development was targeted
for significant reductions.
Thus far, none of the cuts involve
the administration's military
buildup, an issue the president is ex-
pected to address next week when
Defense Secretary Caspar
Weinberger returns home from a trip
overseas.
But some administration officials
have been urging the president to
trim his military buildup, and many
Republicans in Congress have said
the chance for approving sweeping
cuts in domestic programs is greatly
reduced unless the president agrees
to changes in Pentagon spending.
The Washington Post reported to-
day that Sen. Barry Goldwater,
R-Ariz., wants Reagan to freeze
military spending at about last
year's level as a contribution toward
deficit reduction. Goldwater is in line
to be chairman of the Senate Armed
Services Committee.
Goldwater also believes the ad-
ministration should give up on the
MX missile, the Post reported
Goldwater, who said he has sup-
ported the MX until now, said he ex-
pects Congress to kill the program,
and that "you don’t go out and pick a
fight if you’re going to lose.”
One retiring member of Congress,
Senate Majority Leader Howard
Baker of Tennessee, hinted he
thought there might be some
changes before Reagan’s budget
plan is finally submitted early next
year.
"I've heard of trial balloons, but
this is funny," he said. "It's going to
be quite an experience.”
