REAGAN PLANNING ARMS AID INCREASE FOR EL SALVADOR
Date: 13 January 1984
By Hedrick Smith, Special To the New York Times
Hedrick Smith
The Reagan Administration is preparing to ask Congress for $250 million in military aid for El Salvador, nearly four times the current figure for this year, a White House official said today. He said the Administration plans to combine that proposal for supplemental aid in 1984 with another request for roughly $350 million in military aid for El Salvador in the 1985 budget. President Reagan will submit that budget to Congress on Feb. 1. On economic aid for Central America as a whole, Administration officials said President Reagan would probably ask Congress for about $400 million this year, with roughly half of it intended for El Salvador.

PANEL SAYS U.S. CAN TRIM COSTS BY $24 BILLION
Date: 13 January 1984

The Government could save $424.4 billion over three years if it adopted nearly 2,500 recommendations to eliminate ''waste,'' reduce Federal retirement benefits and generally put Federal operations on a more businesslike footing, a Presidential panel said today. The panel, the President's Private Sector Survey on Cost Control, portrayed the Federal establishment, including Congress, as overly responsive to special interests, mired in inefficiency and headed for fiscal disaster if spending is not controlled. ''The Government is run horribly,'' J. Peter Grace, the New York industrialist who led the 18-month study, said at a news conference today. Without drastic action, he said, ''we're heading down the road to deficits of $1 trillion to $2 trillion'' by the end of the century. The 1983 deficit was $195 billion.

U.S. CALLS KILLING OF PILOT RECKLESS
Date: 13 January 1984
By Charles Mohr, Special To the New York Times

The Government said today that a United States Army helicopter pilot killed Wednesday near the Nicaragua-Honduras border had come under fire from Nicaraguan troops after his forced landing in Honduras. The White House called the killing ''reckless and unprovoked.'' The White House spokesman, Larry Speakes, said the United States expected both an explanation of the death of the helicopter pilot, Chief Warrant Officer Jeffrey C. Schwab of Joliet, Ill., and an assurance that there would be no similiar incident in the future. Under Secretary of State Lawrence S. Eagleburger summoned the Nicaraguan Ambassador, Jose Antonio Toledo, Wednesday evening and lodged a strong protest, Mr. Speakes said. Tonight, Daniel Ortega Saavedra, coordinator of the Nicaraguan junta, denied that Sandinista troops had fired at the pilot after he landed on a road on the Honduran side of the border, The Associated Press reported. ''We cannot accept the version that the pilot was fired at on land,'' he said, repeating that Sandinista troops fired at the helicopter only when it was in Nicaraguan airspace. In a statement issued Wednesday night, the Nicaraguan Defense Ministry said its military units along the border had fired on an unidentified military helicopter over Nicaraguan territory that was later forced to land 200 yards inside Honduras. It said it ''deplores the incident,'' which it blamed on the United States military presence in Central America, and expressed condolences to the pilot's family. Secretary of State George P. Shultz said the United States had no plan or ''instinct'' to undertake a retaliatory military action, and there was no evidence that any such action was being considered.

SECURITY FOR EUROPE
Date: 13 January 1984
By Lawrence S. Eagleburger
Lawrence Eagleburger
The full acronym of the Conference on Confidence- and Security-Building Measures and Disarmament in Europe, known as C.D.E., never tumbled trippingly from the tongue of even the staunchest bureaucrat. Yet the conference, which opens in Stockholm next week, marks a new and important phase in East-West negotiations. Its purpose is not arms control or arms reduction in the usual sense; rather, it will seek to make it more difficult for either side to use the arms that do exist in Europe for surprise attack or intimidation. The conference also represents the first East-West arms negotiation inaugurated during the Reagan Administration. Reasonable people may ask why we should try to conclude additional agreements with the Soviet Union at a time when serious questions have been raised about Soviet compliance with previous agreements and when its negotiators have broken off the intermediate range nuclear forces talks in Geneva and interrupted both the strategic arms talks and the negotiations on mutual and balanced force reductions in Central Europe.

FOE OF FEDERAL WASTE
Date: 13 January 1984

A few years ago, when J. Peter Grace was about to be interviewed by a newspaper reporter, he turned the tables by first interviewing the reporter. When, after a few minutes he was politely reminded of the purpose of the meeting, he smiled, observing: ''Of course, but I learn things by talking to as many people as I can.'' Yesterday Mr. Grace, the chairman of W. R. Grace & Company and of the President's Private Sector Survey on Cost Control, released the details of an 18-monthstudy of waste in Federal Government. The study will be formally presented to President Reagan on Monday. Obviously, the two-volume, 656- page report assembled by about 2,000 people recruited from business involved considerable talking to people. After about 23,000 pages of findings based on countless interviews and studies, Mr. Grace was asked yesterday if at any point in the process he had ever quailed under the job. ''I have an unbelievable stick-to-it-iveness,'' the 70-year-old Mr. Grace said. ''Anything is possible if you give it all you've got.''

U.S. HUNGER: A NEW FOCUS
Date: 12 January 1984
By Robert Pear
Robert Pear
If President Reagan thought he could end the debate over hunger in America through appointment of a blue-ribbon commission to study the problem, he must be disappointed. The summary of the panel's final report, issued Tuesday, has focused new attention on the issue and intensified the debate. Early drafts of the commission's report, prepared by the staff under supervision of the chairman, J. Clayburn LaForce Jr., tended to minimize the problem and recommended further cutbacks in Federal spending on food assistance, several panel members said. The body of the final report, which includes the panel's findings on the extent of hunger in America, remains virtually the same. But the commission eliminated two proposals that could have significantly reduced food stamp allotments for thousands of families. This was a victory for members of a small but vocal faction on the panel. Their success, according to Congressional aides, will probably make it more difficult for Mr. Reagan to win acceptance of such budget-cutting proposals. The panel also recommended $500 million in additional benefits, an increase of 2.6 percent, next year.

NEW PRESIDENT OF THE CITY TRANSIT AUTHORITY: DAVID LAWRENCE GUNN

He does not own a car and he would rather climb a mountain than crawl down a subway tunnel, but David L. Gunn still knows how to make wheels turn in the mass-transit business. The new head of the Transit Authority will have ample opportunity to call on the skill he has honed in 20 years of managing urban transportation systems as he faces what he himself has called the ''suicide mission'' of managing New York City's buses, trains and subways. Although he recently declared he ''wouldn't touch the job,'' the 46-year- old Mr. Gunn acknowledged yesterday that the size of the challenge finally swung his decision. ''That turned me on to take it,'' he said in an interview. ''This is the top job in the transit system.''

Soldiers occupied the Suralco bauxite plant near Suriname's capital, Paramaribo, but withdrew after several thousand workers made clear they were determined to continue their three-week-old strike, the agency reported.
