Reagan fund raises questions on ethics and donors
Washington reports that President Reagan ended an $800000 promotional fund and belatedly disclosed major donors to a second fund that raised over $735000. The White House has yet to identify most sources of about $1 million in transition funds, while aides collected about $1.5 million for inaugural activities and $8 million in interest-free loans from roughly 150 corporations. The Coalition for a New Beginning, shut down in March, drew over $800000 in pledges amid concerns of conflict of interest, as aides say Wick and Dart pressed donors who could be affected by government contracts. A separate fund to redecorate the White House living quarters raised over $735000 from largely unidentified donors, with foundations named as contributors only partially accurate. The president and staff have defended themselves, but Meese III and Baker influenced the Coalition's termination.

Tight money and deregulation threaten savings and loans
The savings and loan industry faces rising funding costs after deregulation. With deposits costing 10 percent and mortgage yields at 9.8 percent, many S&Ls face losses and possible federal aid. Lower interest rates from continued money supply restraint could curb costs and boost lending, while more flexible products and tax breaks for savers may aid stability.
