Police see breakthrough.
ATLANTA <AP)? 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.

NEW YORK (AP)? 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.
Phillips' treated for drugs I
NEW YORK (AP)? Actress Mackenzie Phillips, 21, and
her musician father, John Phillips, are undergoing
ireaimeni lor drug addiction together after squandering
their fortunes, their carees and nearly their lives on
heroin and cocaine, the two say.
Fired last year from her starring role on TV's "One Day
At A Time," Miss Phillips said in an interview in this
week's People magazine that she had "always wanted to
be like my father... even though he was a junkie."
"I wanted the weird life, and I went for it, and I got it,"
she said.
Phillips, founder of the 1960's rock group the Mamas
and Papas, which recorded hits such as "Monday,
Monday," said he spent more than $1 million a year
supporting his and his third wife fu?npvipvp'? onH

' 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

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.
