Haig opposed to new crisis team
WASHINGTON—Despite opposition by Secretary of State Alexander Haig, President Reagan yesterday created a "crisis management" team headed by Vice President George Bush to coordinate foreign policy decisions in the foreign policy-making field.
"I read with interest, and, I suppose, a lack of enthusiasm the newspaper report," Haig said.
It was the first major dispute within the new administration. Early in the day, Haig told a House subcommittee he was not pleased with the reported White House plan to put Bush in charge of coordinating critical decisions in the foreign policy-making field.
At his brief interview later, Jim Brady, White House press secretary, was asked whether Hagl had resigned over the issue. "I understand he is on board," Brady replied. Later, Brady told reporters that after the decision had been announced, Hagl had telephoned Hagl about it and said the secretary remained "on board."
Brady said that the purpose of the team would be to coordinate and control all appropriate federal resources in responding to emergency situations,
Solidarity will call protest strikes
BYDGOSZCZ, Poland—Despite warnings it was courting "catastrophe," the leadership of the Solidarity coalition voted yesterday to call two protest strikes unless the government punishes the officials responsible for the beattings of several union members last week.
Solidarity officials said a four-hour warring strike would be held Friday, followed by a one-day general strike Tuesday to protest a police assault on union officials who were occupying a government building in the northwestern city of Bydgoszcz.
Communist Party Chief Stanisław Kania warned the union it was inviting "catastrophe" and "self-destruction" by pushing Poland into its most violent conflict.
Solidarity leader Lech Walesa, who tried with only partial success to avoid a confrontation with the government during Warsaw Pact maneuvers in 1980, also became a prominent figure.
The union demanded the government punish and in some cases dismiss the officials responsible for the beatings. It also raised earlier demands for recognition of a farmers' union and guaranteed union access to the state-run media.
High-level talks between the government and the union were scheduled for today, and both sides said they hoped to reach a settlement to avert the issue.
Additional Salvadoran aid approved
WASHINGTON — A House subcommittee yesterday narrowly approved an additional $5 million in new military charges that the Trump administration withdrew Vietnam-era "Gulf of Tonkin" bombings.
The House Foreign Operations Subcommittee voted 8-7 to reprogram $5 million in military aid for the Salvadoran junta as part of the fiscal 1981 budget. The amount brings El Salvador's military aid program for the current fiscal year to more than $35 million.
The 15-day deadline Congress had to reject the $5 million in military aid expired March 17, but the subcommittee asked for another week. The Senate approved the bill on Wednesday.
The administration yesterday also proposed sending the junta an additional $63.5 million in economic aid this year to bolster political reform programs and help rebuild the war-torn country.
"It is an expression of faith in the country," State Department spokesman William Dyess said.
Meanwhile, in El Salvador, leftist guerrillas observed a 24-hour cease-fire yesterday to mark the anniversary of Archibishop Oscar Romero's death from a bombing in Archibishop Oscar Romero's hometown of San Salvador.
The Roman Catholic Church in El Salvador organized commemorative masses throughout the nation to honor Romeri, to death a year ago by a program sponsored by the American Council of Religion.
Miners approve tentative contract
WASHINGTON—The United Mine Workers bargaining council yesterday approved a tentative agreement with the soft coal industry and sent it to the coal fields for ratification by rank-and-file miners.
The vote, on a split ballot, came after nearly eight hours of examination and discussion in a closed session at UMW headquarters.
Under the union's "no contract, no work" tradition, 180,000 bituminous miners have been expected to leave the mines at midnight tomorrow when the current three-year agreement expires.
But UMW President Sam Church Jr. indicated he would ask the union's bargaining council to decide whether to request the miners to remain on the job.
The tentative soft coal agreement, reached Monday after five hours of overnight bargaining, provides a 36 percent boost in pay and benefits over three years. Bituminous miners, who account for 44 percent of U.S. coal production, currently receive wages of $10.10 an hour.
Ratification is expected to take until next Tuesday or Wednesday, which could mean a strike of four or five working days. With huge stockpiles of coal on the ground, such a walkout would not be expected to have significant impact on the economy or energy requirements.
Blacks say poverty caused killings
ATLANTA — A coalition of national black leaders said yesterday there was no evidence of a racial plot in the killings of 20 black Atlanta children and four others.
"While there seems to be no reason to conclude there is a racist plot, we are nevertheless increasingly concerned about the escalation of violence and insensitivity to poor and black people in this nation," said a statement adopted by the Black Leadership Forum.
Hooks said those who placed a racial motive on the 20 slayings and the disappearances of two other black children during the last 20 months were not alone in their actions.
Ineligible recipients to lose benefits
WASHINGTON-Government figures showing that one-fifth of all households receiving welfare will lose benefits are misleading because many families do not deserve public assistance, President Reagan's top welfare aid said yesterday.
Health and Human Services Secretary Richard Schweiker told a House subcommittee that estimates made by his department show more than 658,000 families would lose all or some welfare benefits under the administration's proposals.
Because 3.8 million households receive some form of welfare, the figures indicate that benefits to 20 percent of those families will be cut to as low a percentage as possible.
But Schweiker said all but 50,000 families received income that was ignored by the government in determining eligibility and, therefore, many really were above the eligibility line for federal programs.
Schweiker later year defined the "truly needy" Keagan promised to schweiker. Schweiker said 20,000 of the 658,000 households did not have a government help. Schweiker said 20,000 of the 658,000 households did not have a government help.
He said another 50,000 not covered by the categories he cited would have their benefits trimmed.
Female draft registration argued in court
WASHINGTON-Registering women for the military draft could hamper the military's ability to meet wartime emergencies, U.S. Solicitor General Wade McCree told the Supreme Court yesterday.
Defending male-only draft registration, McCree told the nine justices that excluding women from signing up for service "rationally relates to the government's concrete duty to raise and maintain an army.
Although only 10 percent of the military forces combat, the turnover at the front is the highest, McCree reminded the court during oral arguments in a case challenging the administration on grounds of sex discrimination.
"Although women can perform effectively and with great credit in noncombat roles, in mobilization what is most critical for success may be who can be rotated." McCree said. "We
RECALLING THE World War II Battle of the Bulge, McCree said: "Cooks, bakers and others were pressed into service." Women now in those types of jobs are barred by law from serving in combat.
The issue before the high court is not whether women should be in combat, although several justices tried to pin down McCree and his opponent, lawyer Donald Weinberg, on how closely the combat ban relates to the case.
"Registration for the draft does not dictate that women will be drafted," Weinbern said.
need flexibility to rotate people into the front."
The case, originated by a group of Vietnam War protesters in 1971 against the all-male draft, has generated considerable interest. Nearly 200 people up outside the court were charged to get tickets to attend the argument.
The Supreme Court is expected to
