A struggle is under way at CBS between corporate management and officials at CBS News over a proposed budget cut in the operations of the news division, according to sources at CBS News. The controversy is focused on a $12 million cutback requested by CBS management in the news division's current operating budget of more than $200 million. This follows an earlier cutback of $7 million made last April. The issue came to a head in the last week, the CBS News sources said, during coverage of the visit to Poland by Pope John Paul II, when CBS News decided for budgetary reasons to reduce its coverage behind that of NBC and ABC.

2 SLAIN U.S. JOURNALISTS FLOWN TO HONDURAN CAPITAL

Date: 23 June 1983

The bodies of the two American journalists who were killed on Tuesday on a road near the Nicaraguan border were flown here today en route to the United States. The two men, Dial Torgerson, 55 years old, The Los Angeles Times bureau chief for Mexico and Central America, and Richard Cross, 33, a photographer on assignment for U.S. News & World Report, died when their rented auto was struck by a rocket-propelled grenade that Honduran and United States officials said was fired from Nicaraguan territory. The car was also reportedly hit by machine-gun fire, which seriously wounded a local resident who was walking nearby. The Nicaraguan Government, however, said today that its soldiers did not fire the grenade that hit the journalists' car, and it denounced the Honduran charge as a false statement linked with a Central Intelligence Agency ''scheme whose object is to justify greater aggression against Nicaragua.'' On Tuesday night, officials here had reported mistakenly that the two Americans had employed a Honduran driver who was wounded in the attack. Today Robert Callahan, a spokesman for the United States Embassy in Tegucigalpa, said that the two men were alone in the car at the time of their deaths. He said the grenade had hit the car directly ''at window level.''

CHIEF NEGOTIATORS FOR LABOR AND MANAGEMENT IN CONSOLIDATED EDISON STRKE

In 1960, in what would have been his last year at St. John's University Law School, Patrick J. Gallagher dropped out and entered the Democratic primary for a State Assembly seat from Queens. ''I lost, or I probably wouldn't be doing what I'm doing,'' said Mr. Gallagher of his role as the leader of the strike of 16,000 utility workers against the Consolidated Edison Company. The union, Local 1-2 of the Utility Workers of America, has struck Con Edison only three times in the last 57 years - the last time in 1968, the previous time in 1926, the year of the 57-year-old Mr. Gallagher's birth. Mr. Gallagher, who is a second-generation Irish American with family roots in County Donegal, has held the top elected full-time post in the union, that of business manager, only since April 8. But his association with the union leadership goes back to 1960, when he joined its executive board on a part-time basis. He was elected secretary-treasurer in 1962 and president in 1971, both also full-time positions.
