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.
Black youths pelted motorists
and pedestrians with rocks and
bottles Thursday in an area
where about 250 people
rampaged the night before to
protest the shooting of a black
teen-ager by a white policeman
Police said the disturbance at
midday Thursday was far more
limited than Wednesday night's
outbreak in this North Florida
city of 81,000, home of the
state's largest campus and one
of its few black police chiefs
We re responding to it. 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

from becoming pawns in any
showdown with the radical Arab
state The government said
1,500 U S citizens, many of
them oil technicians, stand in
“imminent danger.’’
The State Department also
banned travel to Libya by U S
citizens
With border guards alerted to
be on the lookout for alleged
Libyan assassin squads trying
to infiltrate this country, officials
implied that Thursday’s deci
sions were only first moves in a
cold war with the Libyan
strongman Moammar Khadafy
The government still is con
sidering an embargo against oil
from Libya, which supplies
about 4 percent of U S imports,
according to officials who
spoke privately.
“The steps taken early today
by Pres Reagan are in response
to the problem of Libyan
lawlessness," Secretary of
State Alexander Haig told
reporters in Brussels, where he
conferred with European allies
Haig added: “I don't rule out
potential further steps, but the
actions taken are justified by the
prevailing circumstances "
Deputy Secretary of State
William Clark announced the
moves, but refused to link them
to the administration’s belief
that Khadafy has sent an
assassination squad to this
continent to kill Reagan or other
top government officials in reta
liation for the American down
ing of two Libyan MiGs Aug. 19
