Begin Refuses Carter Demand on Settlements in Israel
Prime Minister Menachem Begin flies home after rejecting President Carter's call to remove Israeli settlements in occupied territories. White House and Israel deny plans to replace Begin with Defense Minister Ezer Weizman. Weizman advocates a national peace government with Labor joining the coalition to resist U S pressure. Some see a "Dump Begin" effort to shield Begin at home from Carter's backing of Egypt.

Senators Offer Tax Cut Bill Aimed at Inflation and Social Security
A group of Republican senators proposes a tax cut allowing a 10 percent direct credit against income taxes for Social Security contributions and inflation adjustments. The plan would mostly favor businesses and workers earning under $6,000 or over $40,000 annually, and compares with President Carter's plan which would yield smaller or negative outcomes for some. For a family of four earning $10,000, the GOP bill foresees a $47 tax cut versus Carter's $11 cut and current inflation-Social Security effects.

Anti treaty groups in at least five states plan recalls of senators who backed the Panama Canal treaties.
