Santa Barbara California reports President Reagan faces political backlash over a Cabinet Council plan to tax unemployment benefits and curb youth summer pay. Speakes says ideas are among eight options and no action will occur until next year. Reuss calls the proposal unconscionable, urging protection for the unemployed. Labor groups pledge to resist any tax and wage cuts for youths. A separate North Olmsted case notes a 25 pound one year old found abandoned, later identified as from Lorain County, at Lechaperon Rouge Nursery.
