Korea troop withdrawal pondered amid Seoul talks
President Carter weighs stopping further pullouts of about 27 000 U S troops from South Korea as allies China and Japan express concern and Senate critics urge caution. A study group warns withdrawals would not boost security and could cost 1.5 to 2 billion dollars without easing future involvement risks.

Tax hike sails through Illinois legislature amid Caterpillar clash
The Illinois General Assembly approved a $520 million business tax plan by 89-85, aided by a Caterpillar district Democrat, despite Caterpillar opposition and a threat of a veto from Gov. James R. Thompson. The plan raises corporate income tax to 6.85 percent, adds a 12 percent tax on partnerships and trusts, and 0.8 percent on utilities invested capital, with expected $460 million to local governments. Caterpillar warned of higher taxes after a prior $3.3 million payment under the old regime and announced a new Indiana plant, while Republicans pressed for a weaker $468 million plan.
