Budget director resigns
David Stockman, the often controversial administration whiz kid who has served as architect of President Reagan's budget policies, announced yesterday in a speech that he is resigning Aug. 1 to take a position on Wall Street.
Stockman, 38, a two-term Republican congressman before being chosen as Reagan's budget director, said he would take his long expected leave from government to join the investment banking firm Salomon Brothers.
White House spokesman Larry Speakes, who announced the resignation, told reporters that Stockman informed Reagan of his plans at midday. Reagan expressed deep appreciation and personal gratitude for the time and effort Stockman has devoted over the last 53 months. Speakes said.
"The president has nothing but the highest admiration for Dave Stockman," he said, "and I think that he is an important member."
Senate Republican leader Robert Dole of Kansas said "it's going to be a hard spot to fill."
Trooper testifies in Bird trial
A Kansas Highway Patrol trooper testified yesterday in Emporia that he found a wristwatch, later identified
as Sandra Bird's, at the site of her death on the ground directly below two separated planks of the Rocky Ford Bridge.
Trooper John Rule resumed testimony after more than four hours on the witness stand Monday. Rule said he showed the watch to the Rev. Thomas Bird several times of his life's death and Bird identified it as belonging to her.
Bird, former pastor of Faith Lutheran Church in Emporia, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of his wife, whose body was found near the wreckage of her car in the Cottonwood River July 17.
The state alleges that Bird threw his wife from the bridge and tried to disguise the killing as a traffic accident. The defense contends that she died in a car wreck.
Flames continue to engulf West
Walls of fire continued their march across the tinderdry West yesterday, leaping across containment lines, destroying expensive ridgtop homes in California and leveling timber in the Northwest.
California was hit the worst by blazes sparked by lightning bolts and arsonists. An army of firefighters fown in from all over the country had hardly a minute left to evacuate before a new one cropped up or leaped out of control.
State officials said the fires, which had killed three, were the worst since 1980. Flames have destroyed more than 172 homes and blackened about 230,000 acres in the state. The fire cost $1 million to destroy and more than 100,000 acres scorched in 1980.
The blazes, most spawned by lightning, threatened homes and ranches and closed at least one highway in Nebraska.
Cop-killer Henry Martinez Porter spent the hours before his execution in Huntsville, Texas trying to buoy the spirits of family members, but used his last few blast society as "a bunch of cold-blooded murderers."
Cen killer executed in Texas
Porter, pronounced dead by injection yesterday morning, had harsh final words for the judicial system he had on him on death row for killing a policeman but did not speak to officers who killed Mexican-Americans in their custody.
Porter, the second murderer executed in Texas in two weeks, ordered his attorney last week to end appeals efforts. He had made peace with himself, and his husband had agreed that family members, including his daughter and brother.
Crash sites may identify MIAs
A senior Pentagon official said yesterday in Washington that there were several hundred aircraft crash sites in Indochina where the remains of U.S. personnel missing in action in the Vietnam War might be located.
U. S. officials traveling with Secretary of State George Shultz said in Hong Kong Sunday that Vietnam had pledged to return the remains of 26 more Americans. The officials disclosed that U.S. and Vietnamese officials had surveyed the crash site of a B-52 bomber near Haro.
In addition, Assistant Defense Secretary Richard Armvage said Vietnamese officials told U.S. officials they would provide evidence about six other American citizens detained in paperation papers, dog tags or other belongings, he said.
The Senate opened debate yesterday in Washington on a bill to make it easier to buy a gun, the first big change in federal gun control laws since the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy.
At issue is legislation supported by more than half the Senate that would allow the interstate sale of guns. A buyer from one state would be able to go to another with a different license, and so did the sale as the sale did not violate the laws of either state.
Another important provision would bar prosecution unless the alleged violator knew he had violated the law. Supporters of the bill maintain that people have an obligation to avoid inadvertent or unintentional violations of present laws.
Sniper's body found in rubble
Police searching the smoking rubber of a warehouse yesterday in Madison, N.C., found the body of a sniper who apparently torched the building after killing his brother, building two people and holding officers at bay for 14 hours.
Authorities said Dolpheus "Bud" Ziglar, the sniper, with whoitstood two police tear gas barrages and refused to talk to relatives, apparently died in the fire Monday night that gutted the abandoned, two-story warehouse where he had been holed up since early Monday morning.
Police said Ziglar, an employee of Suburban Sanitation, thought the company had been shorting his paycheck.
Police said Ziglar argued with a supervisor about his paycheck early Monday, went home, got a rifle and took up a position in a second-story window
