The strike of all nine unions at The Philadelphia Inquirer and Philadelphia Daily News that began at 12:01 Saturday morning was prompted by what both management and union spokesmen describe as a tangle of issues that both sides say may be difficult to unravel. ''The issues are sort of all over the place,'' William F. Gullifer, president of the Philadelphia Council of Newspaper Unions, said yesterday, adding that it was unlikely that negotiations would resume before Monday or Tuesday. William W. Broom, a spokesman for the newspapers, said that neither would be able to publish during the strike. The Inquirer has a daily circulation of 525,000 and a Sunday circulation of more than a million, while The News, which does not publish Sundays, has a circulation of about 275,000.

STRAIN ON BUDGET SEEN IN NAVY PLAN
Date: 07 September 1985
By Bill Keller, Special To the New York Times
Bill Keller
The Navy's ambition to have a 600-ship fighting fleet is on a collision course with the Pentagon's latest budget plans, according to testimony today before a House subcommittee. Congressional and private analysts said the Navy had committed so much of its future budgets to shipbuilding that it might be unable to provide enough aircraft, crews, munitions, maintenance and other essentials to keep the ships operating. The testimony, before the House Subcommittee on Seapower, was the latest demonstration of mounting concern that the Navy cannot sustain its huge shipbuilding program without sacrificing combat readiness. Officials of the Congressional Budget Office told the subcommittee that even if the cost of building and operating ships did not increase, the Navy would need to increase its budget at least 3 percentage points above the rate of inflation well into the 1990's to make ends meet.

NAKASONE IS DEALT SETBACK ON ARMS SPENDING
Date: 07 September 1985
By Clyde Haberman, Special To the New York Times
Clyde Haberman
Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone suffered a major political defeat today when he failed to convince his governing party that Japan should abandon a self-imposed restriction on military spending. After a series of intense meetings this week, Government and party leaders agreed to adopt as official policy a Japanese Defense Agency plan to steadily increase weapons purchases over the next five years. But the leaders thwarted Mr. Nakasone's wishes by refusing to take the additional giant step of scrapping the nine-year-old policy that limits the overall military budget to 1 percent of the country's gross national product. On the surface, the two decisions seemed contradictory. Barring unexpectedly high economic growth in the next few years, it would be difficult, perhaps impossible, for Japan to carry out the arms buildup and to also stay within the 1 percent barrier.

PENTAGON WHISTLE-BLOWER REBUTS CHIEF AT CONGRESSIONAL HEARING ON WEAPON COSTS

The Pentagon's most celebrated whistle-blower testified at a Congressional hearing today that he doubted the Defense Department was able to control the bureaucracy of uniformed military personnel who buy billions of dollars worth of weapons annually. The witness, A. Ernest Fitzgerald, was discharged from the Air Force in 1969 for disclosing a huge cost increase for the C-5A cargo plane but later won reinstatement through a court order. He is now the financial management systems deputy of the Air Force. Testifying before the Joint Economic Committee today, he also said huge savings could be achieved by rewriting the formulas the Pentagon uses to allow military contracting concerns firms to add markups and overhead costs to their prices.
