Meanwhile, a jobs-creating gasoline tax hike bill is bogged down in the Senate, where conservative Republicans want to postpone debate until next year. WASHINGTON AP) Ignoring threats of a presidential veto, the' House Appropriations Committee is endorsing a spending bill that includes $5.4 billion to help the unemployed and a chance for members of Congress to raise their salpries. The full House is expected to vote early next week on the package, which was approved by the committee Friday on a 25-18 party-line vote. The legislation is necessary to keep Some doctors believe new heart impractical But Senate aides said Majority Leader Howard H. Baker would have more than the 60 votes needed next week when he moves to choke off debate.

Wrangling over the stopgap bill and the nickel-a-gallon increase in the federal gasoline tax is expected to force the lame-duck session of Congress to meet past its Dec. 17 target for adjournment. The Democratic jobs plan included in the stopgap bill would provide money for a variety of emergency public works jobs, housing aid and assistance for the unemployed, including food and shelter. Included in the package' is $1 billion for "emergency jobs creation" to provide about 160,000 jobs repairing bridges, water systems and public buildings. The measure also includes $1 billion in grants to hard-pressed areas to create about 65,000 jobs in and mortar public facilities-type programs where the projects can move to construction in less than six months," according to a committee report accompanying the legislation, Also included were provisions for items that committee members joked they had never heard of before, such as $50 million for Small Business Administration "National Resources Development Grants." In addition, there is a $50 million grant to the United Way of America to provide emergency food and shelter to needy people.

The president has said he would veto the stopgap bill if the Democratic jobs plan were attached when it reached his desk. During consideration of the measure, Rep. Vic Fazio, D-Calif offered an amendment to remove the cap that holds the salaries of members of Congress to $60,662.50 annually. Fazio said there would be a separate vote on the pay amendment on the House floor. Other legislators said it was expected that the House Rules Committee, which sets the procedures for consideration of legislation, will allow an individual vote on the pay provision.

There are estimates that removing the pay cap could add up to $17,000 annually to members' salaries, which Congress has frozen since 1977. The exact amount is unclear because of complications stemming from intrepretationof a cost-of-living formula. iiltiii Vf-X 1 JTmHi KSMfiaittiMialraftii. Jito BELATED BIRTHDAY PARTY.

AP Reagan, 'Tip' are key to compromise on SS By The Associated Press A week after the first permanent implant of an artificial heart into the chest of a human, a medical debate has erupted about using such a device on anything but a temporary basis. Dr. Denton Cooley, the surgeon who first placed an artificial heart in a patient in 1968, said Friday at a news conference in Houston that the mechanical device is impractical for permanent use until it can contain its own power source.

Cooley, of the Texas Heart Institute, pointed to a four-foot console and identified it as the unit needed to drive the pneumatically powered artificial heart. "You can tell by that the impractical nature of long-term support on a totally artificial heart," he said. "It remains to be seen whether he's correct Reagan willing to compromise on missile plan WASHINGTON (AP) President Reagan seems open to compromise on his embattled basing plan for the MX missile as he tries to line up Senate votes for the weapon after its crushing defeat in the House. Facing a crucial Senate vote next week, the president said Friday he is willing to have Congress "debate and discuss and see if there are possible other options that could conceivably be improvements." He urged Congress to approve money now and argue about its basing system next year. "I believe it is absolutely essential to a strong, secure defense that we vote now on funds for that missile.

Then next year as we have more time, I'd welcome a vigorous debate on the best way to base the missile," Reagan said at a brief news conference in the Oval Office. He portrayed the dense-pack basing plan as "probably offering the best opportunity" but said "if the Congress wants to debate and discuss and see if there are possible other options that could conceivably be improvements over this, we're willing for that." or we're correct," responded Dr. Chase Peterson, vice president for health sciences at the University of Utah, where patient Barney B. Clark has entered his second week of life on a mechanical heart. Cooley said technology is not far enough advanced to justify permanent mechanical heart transplants.

He compared it to putting "John Glenn in a rocket in 1950 and aiming him at the moon." Responded Peterson: "He's said that on certain programs since this procedure and before. And that's an honorable poyision; people differ on these proposals." Doctors at the University of Utah have defended the use of the Jarvik-7 mechanical heart for patients such as Clark, who suffer from terminal diseases and for whom a human transplant is impractical. Clark is too old for the leading anti-rejection drug, cyclosporine, which federal guidelines say can only be given to patients under 50. The 61-year-old Seattle dentist, who received his heart Dec. 2, remained in critical but, stable condition today at the University of Utah Medical Center.

"I do wish the team out there success," Cooley said. "I feel that we're comrades in arms. I hope that whatever they learn will be of benefit to all of us." At the Stanford University Medical Center in California, where heart transplants are frequently performed, physicians generally agree with Cooley that artificial devices are most appropriate for temporary use, -medical center spokesman Mike Goodkind said Friday. Dr. Phil Oyer, a Stanford physician, has been involved for several years in the development of a device called the "left ventricular assist device" which would be inserted into the body and operate with an implanted power source.

Goodkind said. However, he emphasized that, "Our policy is to view all artificial devices as temporary. We are concentrating on tissue transplants." Dr. Robert Jarvik, the mechanical heart's inventor, bristled when asked to respond Dec. 2 to a -statement by South African heart transplant pioneer Dr.

Christiaan Barnard that the mechanical device did not appear to be the solution to heart problems. "That's his opinion and he's welcome to hold it," Jarvik said. the Ohio National Guard storage area are in identification sets that the military once used for training purposes in order to familiarize soldiers with chemical agents. The chemicals include mustard, lewisite, chloropicrin and phosgene agents. No nerve gas or are involved.

All of the agents reportedly are contained in metal containers packed in steel cylinders. Celeste reports campaign expenses; race was costly Chemical move is set soon stalemate at what was supposed to be its final meeting Friday. But chairman Alan Greenspan announced it would meet again next Friday because private talks indicated there was still "some momentum in the decision-making process." But he added, "I don't want to suggest that there's a major set of conclusions which we could all subscribe to." Greenspan said, "we're going to keep the door open" for further negotiations. Other members said there was still a chance Reagan and O'Neill, a Massachusetts Democrat, can be convinced to back a compromise package of tax hikes and cuts in the growth of Social Security benefits. "We're going on for another week.

It's not that we like attending these meetings." said Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, The divisions on the panel were evident as the members failed to agree on the specifics of a "fail-safe" plan to protect Social Security against an economic calamity A staff memo suggested automatic Treasury loans, payroll tax hikes or benefit cuts as three alternative methods. Greenspan cut short the debate, saying the members endorsed the principle of a fail-sate device, but "I think we agree to disagree on the remedies." A majority of the commission reaffirmed on Friday a recommendation that Social Security be segregated from the rest of the federal budget. That action came despite an appeal from White House budget director David Stockman and Sen. Pete V.

Domenici. and Rep. James R. Jones, D-Okla the chairmen of the Senate and House budget committees. Stockman.

Domenici and Jones warned the move "would be deceptive and unproductive (and) merely obscure" the system's problems. They offered to press for giving Social Security a separate line in the burigel. instead of lumping it with other income security programs. The panel must complete its report by Dec. 31.

It agreed last month the old age fund is facing a possible shortfall of $150 billion to $200 billion over the next seven years. Tripoli fighting enters fifth day TRIPOLI, Lebanon (AP) Bands of rival Moslem militiamen battled in the streets of Tripoli with machine guns and artillery for the fifth day today, leaving seven more dead and 12 wounded in the fight for control of the northern port. City leaders tried to stop the fighting, which police say has claimed 35 lives in the past five, days. But both sides fired on police sent to establish a cease-fire line, and they were forced to withdraw Friday night, said Rashid Karami, a former prime minister leading the cease-fire effort. Constant machine-gun fire and occasional artillery blasts prevented reporters from reaching the main battle scene between the slum neighborhoods of Baal Mohsen and Bab el-Tabbaneh near the Mediterranean shore.

WASHINGTON (AP) The Social Security reform commission is refusing to call it quits, but members say that President Reagan and House Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill hold the keys to any compromise. The 15-member panel appeared near a His pre-election report showed $4.25 million in contributions and $4,465 million in expenditures. The Celeste in '82 Committee reported it had a running balance of $578,492. The governor-elect's contributors numbered almost 4.000, and included many from out-of-state who made substantial donations.

They also included various labor groups, including the Ohio AFL-CIO which was listed as a contributor of $95,000. However, the largest single contributor was the Ohio House Democratic Committee, headed by Speaker Vernal G. Riffe Jr. Uniform age for drinking could be set WASHINGTON (AP) Congress may be forced to set a national drinking age of 21 if states won't do it individually, some lawmakers are warning. "Congress needs to make its voice heard on this issue," says Rep.

William Goodling, who introduced a House resolution last week urging state legislatures to raise the legal drinking age. "We're talking about America's teenagers," said Goodling, a former high school teacher and principal. A similar resolution has been introduced in the Senate. Aimed at the District of Columbia and the 35 states with drinking ages lower than 21, they say the sense of Congress is that those areas should raise the minimum age for drinking and purchasing alcoholic beverages. The resolutions also cite grim statistics: 5,000 teen-agers dead each year in drunken driving accidents, alcohol in the blood of 60 percent of fatally injured teen-age drivers, a direct correlation between minimum drinking age and alcohol-related accidents in the 18-21 age group.

Congressmen, and representatives of various safety groups, called a press conference Friday to coincide with the start of the holiday season and National Drunk and Drugged Driving Awareness Week." "The statistics are overwhelming," Sen. Aden Specter, sponsor of the Senate resolution, told reporters. "This is not an effort to limit the freedoms or opportunities of 18, 19 and 20-year-olds.

PRAT; IH PAYS TO GO ANP 1 LOST MY CHRISTMAS SHOPPING LIST? I ffM ItM urwwtf Htur SyntfKaw 0 Democrat leaders believe Jackson will switch again COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Democrats still insist they will woo a defector back into their Ohio Senate ranks to avoid losing their newly acquired 17-16 majority in the upper chamber.

Paul Tipps, state chairman, added his prediction Friday night to those of Senate Minority Leader Harry Meshel, D-Youngstown, and others who claim the party will resolve the problem. The chairman told a meeting of the State Democratic and Executive Committee that Sen. M. Morris Jackson, D-Cleveland. will return to the fold.

"Remember, you heard it here," Tipps said. But later, at a Democratic Christmas party also set up to celebrate their victory sweep on Nov. 2, Tipps said he talked to Jackson on the telephone and received no commitment. "It's just my personal opinion" that he will rejoin the Democratic caucus, he said. Jackson, who was dropped from the Democratic leadership team in 1980 after Republicans had wrested control from Democrats by an 18-15 count, agreed almost two weeks ago to vote with Republicans in the organization of the new Senate.

His reward will be. if the deal sticks, the COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Ohio apparently had its costliest gubernatorial election in state history this year. Democratic Governor-elect Richard Celeste reported Friday he spent $5.8 million in his primary and general election campaigns. Celeste's campaign people filed his postelection report in the office of Secretary of State Anthony J. Celebrezze a week in advance of the Dec.

17 statutory deadline. Celeste's defeated Republican opponent, U. S. Rep. Clarence J.

Brown, had not filed his report, nor had any of the other candidates on Ohio's Nov. 2 statewide ballot. Brown's committee reported in his pre-election report expenditures of more than $2.5 million. Rick Ellis, a Celebrezze assistant, said he believed the spending to be the biggest in Ohio history for a gubernatorial election but said he had not had time to check all records. However, the inflated campaign costs of recent years left virtually no doubt.

Celeste's report, covering the period from 12 days prior to the election through Dec. 10, showed contributions of $1,576 million and expenditures of $1,297 million. presidency of the Senate although Republicans will get the committee chairmanships and the other advantages that go to the majority party. Jackson and Meshel have been at odds since the latter became Democratic leader in 1980, ousting a longtime Jackson associate, Sen. Oliver Ocasek, D-Akron.

Meshel was in line for the presidency until Jackson's defection. Meshel said he has been seeking to talk to Jackson to try to settle the matter but that the Clevelander, one of two blacks who serve in the Senate, will not return his calls. Tipps said he had talked to Jackson only once, but plans to do so again in the near future. Jackson has been unavailable to all but a few selected friends since he announced his deal with the Republicans in a news release, from his Statehouse office Governor-elect Richard Celeste made an appearance Friday night at the reception which followed the otherwise routine meeting of the state committee.

At least 10 die in Egypt hotel blaze ALEXANDRIA, Egypt (AP) A fire raced through a six-story, waterfront hotel in this Mediterranean port city early today, killing at least 10 people and injuring 14 others, some of them seriously, police sources said.

One of the victims was an unidentified woman who dived from the window of her room as flamed engulfed the New Carlton Hotel. The sources said the woman fell on to a parked car and died instantly. The injured included three foreigners two Romanians and a Danish woman. The rest of the victims were Egyptians.

But the wheels of justice were reversed Friday as the Sixth District Ohio Court of Appeals overturned the convictions of Miss Keville and Sandusky lawyer Jerry Murray for skating on a roadway.

The court did not strike down the Sandusky ordinance that made it illegal for the couple to roll along on the streets of the Lake Erie shore community. The skaters were cited one year ago for wheeling down a road at night, wearing reflective vests and carrying flashlights as warning signals. Instead of pleading guilty and paying fines, however, Miss Keville and Murray filed a motion asking Sandusky Municipal Judge James Stacey to dismiss the citations and declare the law unconstitutional. The ordinance reads, "No person upon roller skates or riding in or by means of any coaster, toy vehicle or similar device shall go upon any street, except while crossing a highway on a crosswalk." The skaters were convicted In and Stacey fined them $45 each. The police officer who cited the skaters said he saw them put on their wheels and skate on a road toward an intersection.

When he saw them, they were rolling down the street. But the skaters said they were only using the roadway to reach the crosswalk. The trial court had ruled that if the skaters had been in a crosswalk rather than approaching it, they would have been skating legally. The three appellate judges ordered the trial verdict reversed, however, saying Miss Keville and Murray believed they were skating legally. The appellate court did not get into the constitutionality of the law.

The judges noted it was unnecessary to rule on the constitutionality because that issue was mooted by the reversal of the conviction. Reached by telephone in Sandusky, Miss Keville said she had not been informed of the verdict but termed it "a fair one." "I figured the case would be overturned, though," said Miss Keville, 24, owner of a health food restaurant. Murray was out of town and could not be reached. NIGHT BEFORE.
