Police investigating the slayings of 18 black youngsters and the disappeaance of two others say a breakthrough?Ian end to this city's 19 month misery? may be coming soon. But the same officers say they are basing that prediction only on their "feelings," and not on any hard evidence: ; ? > "Now that the number of these cases have been linked, there's naturally more of a feeling that he is going to make a mistake," a high-ranking officer, who asked not to be identified, told the Atlanta Journal. "The law of averages is against him." Ford says Reagan naive RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. <AP)? Former President Ford says President Reagan is "naive" if he thinks budget cuts will be easier than tax cuts to sell to Congress. And because of that, Reagan should hold off on the last two years of his three-year, 30 percent tax cut program until there is "visible evidence" Congress will reduce the growth of federal spending, Ford says. in an interview with The Associated Press at his home in the California desert, Ford said efforts to reduce federal spending always tend to generate formidable coalitions which ban together to protect their own appropriations. "My own experience in Congress would lead me to the conclusion that the House and Senate would be more amenable to a reduction in taxes than they will be to an effort to reduce expenditures," the former president said. Nevertheless t'ord said "the public basically needs and is sympathetic to a tax reduction" and Reagan should push for a one-year 10 percent tax cut.

Rita Jenrette, the estranged wife of a congressman convicted of Abscam charges, says there are some frightened people in Washington because a female lobbyist videotaped sexual encounters with congressmen. Mrs. Jenrette, in New York on Monday to publicize her article and semi-nude photo spread in Playboy magazine, said the lobbyist had been made pregnant by a Republican sentor. She declined to identify the senator, but added, "This is brewing and soon to come out, I think, in the next couple of months." "There are a lot of very frightened Republican congressmen and senators, because this woman supposedly has all of this... their intimacies, on videotape," she said.

' Reagan worth. *4 million NEW YORK (AP) - A financial disclosure statement filed with the office of Government Ethics shows President Reagan has a net worth estimated at $4 million, the New York Times reported Monday. It was the second time Reagan disclosed his finances. The first was in 1976 when he sought the Republican presidential nomination and placed his worth at $1,455,571. I The Times said that at the time there were suggestions that he had under-estimated the value of some of his real estate. His home in Pacific Palisades, for instance, was listed then at $200,000. Now it has been put on the market for $1.9 million. Reagan's new disclosure statement covers the year 1980 and up to last Jan. 20, the day he assumed office. The newspaper says that during that period, his gross income was reported at more than $230,000. it saicl tnat tteagan's other assets now include cash of $740,000, from the sale of stocks, which was placed in a blind trust last month; mortgages worth $600,000 from a 771-acre ranch in Riverside County, Calif., and a 6H8-acre ranch northwest of Santa Barbara, Calif., which he bought in November 1974 for $526,000 and is now valued at $1 II I ' m?T~ IKMW Ifl" ~--1 r- I- -v .... ? mimon. -r.TT'TriT ret .~r?i - r-'-i, - - > f, -vn rrrr> n i Govern endors Ki i ^rl uuujjcl WASHINTON (AP) The theeco nation's governors gave a the res bipartisan endorsement Tuesday to President But t Reagan's Economic by the recovery fight, but told him Associa at the same time they can pledge bear their share of budget any att cuts only if relief is granted state e irom federal laws dictating or an such things as how much "unfaii health and welfare aid they burden give the poor.

The future is all over the world. For the 52 Americans held hostage in Iran for 444 days, tomorrow means new assignments, new ideas and, in some cases, new jobs. Some of the servicemen plan to stay in the military; others envision civilian careers. There are books to be written, appearances to be made and offers to consider. Few of the former hostages plan major changes in their lives as a result of their ordeal, but all are making adjustments. Kathryn Koob of Jessup, Iowa, plans to keep her job as a cultural officer with the International Communications Agency. She says she wouldn't mind going overseas again but she also says she would be very careful about picking the country. Miss Koob wants to write a book about her experiences in Iran, but has not made any firm plans.
