Balagoon said two adults and two children were detained and a car cotter pin loosened after they left, while juror pool demographics drew scrutiny as officials said panelists were randomly selected from voter lists and licenses.

House leaders push trimmed housing bill in Congress
House Democrats press passage of a reduced housing authorization bill led by Rep. Henry B. Gonzalez to preserve basic programs. The $15.6 billion measure, aligned with Reagan’s recent appropriations, aims to avoid budget buster claims while keeping FHA guarantees and rental subsidies functioning. New items include a $1.3 billion multifamily housing program and $100 million for emergency housing for unemployed homeless.

Treasury official rules out tax hike for two years
Reagan administration tax chief John E. Chapoton says he sees little chance of tax increases in 1984 or 1985. He notes Congress may push a package to meet budget plans, but $12 billion in 1984 appears virtually impossible to raise. The plan also targets $61 billion in 85 and 86 to shrink the deficit, with 1984 deficit pegged at $179.3 billion.
