inter/national news From Associated Prsss rsportt State deficit drops by $10 million SALEM The deficit in the state's bud get is $10 million less than state officials originally estimated, Executive Department Director Bob Smith said Thursday "Our new forecasting system did not include some of the changes in tax law that the last session passed," Smith said after making the announcement in a joint revenue committee meeting "So it now appears that there is going to be a shortfall of only about $240 million, rather than $250 million " Smith told the legislators state budget officials failed to com pute changes in weatherization and foreign income tax credits benefiting the state He said officials also failed to include the savings that result from the state's new system for withholding homeowner and renter relief checks if the recipients owe the state money Dissident's kin allowed to leave MOSCOW Andrei Sakharov's daughter in-law said Thursday she has been summoned to the Soviet visa office, apparently to receive her long-awaited exit papers But she vowed not to leave for the United States until she is sure Sakharov has abandoned a hunger strike on her behalf I feel happier now I feel much calmer,'' Liza Alexeyeva said after receiving the sum mons to appear Friday at OVIR where exit visas are issued But I still have a lingering fear that it's not quite true and that it might ail turn out terribly " The apparent decision to per mit her to emigrate seemed to be a major concession by Soviet authorities, who have been under intense international pressure to meet Sakharov's demands to let Alexeyeva, 26, join her husband in the United States The Soviet government has not commented officially on the case since last Friday, and repeated attempts by The Associated Press to reach the KGB (security police) for con firmation have been unsuc cessful Alexeyeva, the focus of a bit ter struggle between the banished dissident and Soviet authorities, said she was told to bring her passport, two pho tographs and 210 rubles (about $300 at the official exchange rate), which is the normal price for a Soviet exit visa She told reporters that the summons came in a form letter that arrived at Sakharov s Mos cow apartment Thursday even ing, shortly after she received word that Sakharov and his wife Yelena Bonner had voluntarily ended the hunger strike they began Nov 22 Alexeyeva, however, said she has no intention of leaving the Soviet Union before seeing the Sakharovs She said the KGB told here earlier in the day that that she could visit them next Monday “I will not have peace of mind until I go to Gorky on Monday to prove to myself that the Sakharovs are all right,” she said Sakharov, winner of the 1975 Nobel Peace Prize for his work on behalf of human rights, was banished to the Volga River city east of Moscow nearly two years ago to limit his access to for eigners Rioting breaks out in Florida city GAINESVILLE, Fla.

It's not as big a group at this time," police Lt. Don Dean said Dean said the number of black youths participating in the disturbance was "about 10 or 15," compared with the es timated 250 who rampaged for 90 minutes following the shoot ing of 16-year-old Columbus Williams by an officer trying to make a drug arrest He was reported in satisfactory condi tion at a hospital Thursday More than 60 riot-equipped police were called in to quell that disturbance Police said Williams had grabbed the service revolver of undercover officer Ernest Bridges as Bridges tried to arrest him in a drug investiga tion and Bridges shot him in the chest with a backup weapon But witnesses claimed that the youth had fallen on the curb and the officer was in no danger when the shot was fired "(Williams) was lying on his stomach He was physically helpless," said Joseph Bryant, an insurance agent Americans asked to leave Libya WASHINGTON Pres Reagan asked Amer icans working in Libya to come home Thursday to keep them > Py-'Pafr'gsyr, Cy~, rV^- E^n C\tT *5*D*5»toJilito *5*D .,1 r’ g 0>\ For all your musical gifts, make us your first stop! fr Lowest everyday prices of all hit S records in town 0 For Example EL New Stones jJ-AC-DC J^-The « Police >J-Foreignorj$-Genesis W l^-Dianna Ross JfQueen^f-Fhe Cars # All only $5 95 EACH!
