O'Neill fears Dems falter in tax fight
President Reagan pushes a 33 month 25 percent tax cut plan while the House splits on the Democratic 21 month 5 percent version. The broad bill totals about 700 billion over five years in the Senate plan and more in the House. About 35 House members remain undecided as talks continue, with White House boss heads counting the GOP bill neck and neck with the Democratic plan. ONeill notes executives from firms like McDonnell Douglas and Monsanto pressured lawmakers to press home offices to urge votes.

O'Connor upholds workman's claim for Mafia inmate Battaglia
Arizona Court of Appeals in a unanimous ruling written by Judge Sandra O'Connor holds Charles "Batts" Battaglia's workmen's compensation remains valid despite his federal incarceration. The court said the award compensated losses from his industrial injury, not his imprisonment, and that his job loss stemmed from injury rather than voluntary criminal conduct. Battaglia, 64, injured May 4, 1977, while employed by United Riggers Erectors in a Tucson area mine, later faced a 3-year federal sentence for mail fraud tied to stolen autos. He had a 15 percent disability and $302.15 monthly benefits before his parole in 1980.
