Nev. (AP) - A man who said he was disgrun tled over Pres Ronald Reagan's promise of financial aid to Brazil perched on cables 800 feet above the Colorado River at Hoover Dam Tuesday The man, who identified him self as Steve McPeak of Las Vegas, climbed onto the cables Monday night He said he would not come down until he talked to Reagan A spokesman at Hoover Dam, who asked not to be identified, said the man had set up a ham mock on a series of six closely spaced cables that stretch across the gorge just below the dam He said the six cables, each 316 inches in diameter, form a sort of sidewalk and are not hard to move on for someone who is not afraid of heights McPeak told a reporter Mon day night he was upset because Reagan was spending money on foreign aid instead of "Americans who are starving ." McPeak said the only way he could draw attention was to get on top of some federal project He said he wanted American money spent on projects such as Hoover Dam, which benefit America McPeak has been arrested twice on charges of trespassing on government property after pulling similar feats at the dam McPeak reportedly had a two-way radio that could be used for a telephone hookup if he were able to talk to Reagan Bi-partisan House denys MX funds WASHINGTON (AP) - The House late Tuesday rejected by 245-176 a down payment of nearly $1 billion for the MX missile system, “The Peacekeeper" that Pres Ron ald Reagan deems vital for con vincing the Soviet Union to get serious about nuclear arms reductions The House vote deletes from a $231 6 billion defense spend ing bill all $988 million ear marked for the first five of a planned 100 of the nuclear tipped, intercontinental mis siles. The vote marked a personal defeat for Reagan, who had led an intensive administration lob bying campaign to keep the production money intact Fifty of Reagan's fellow Republicans joined 195 Democrats to give the MX op ponents their majority The mi nority consisted of 138 Repub licans and 38 Democrats Joining against Reagan on the MX issue were advocates of a U.S.-Soviet nuclear freeze and members who contended that the MX was a good place to make budget economies since Congress has not yet decided whether its proposed basing system will work. Opponents were also seeking to cut other defense expendi tures. Work on the entire ap propriations bill was expected to be completed on Wednesday and sent to the Senate, which has a $233 billion version from its Appropriations Committee awaiting floor action Calling the outcome "a grave mistake,” Reagan said con gressmen who voted against the MX were ''sleepwaking into the future " He said there was still time to reverse the House deci sion, and he pledged to take his case to the people to rally sup port for the missile In a written statement handed out at the White House, Reagan said of the vote: "Unless reversed in coming days, it will seriously set back our efforts to protect the nation s security and could handcuff our negotiators at the arms table ” “I had hoped that most of the members in the House had awakened to the threat facing the United States,’’ Reagan ad ded "That hope was apparently unfounded A majority chose to go sleepwalking into the fu ture.” The Defense Department withheld any official comment. However, a Pentagon legislative strategist said, "We don't feel the battle is over." The analyst, who asked not to be identified, added, "We in tend to continue to work the problem on the Senate side " This was a clear indication the Reagan administration was banking its hopes for winning approval in the Republican controlled Senate and then in a subsequent House-Senate con ference.
