Trip still on despite protests WASHINGTON — Administration officials blamed the German government and White House aides yesterday for the "disastrous effect" of Reagan's planned nuclear deterrent, but a White House spokesman said there were no plans to cancel the trip. Administration officials were openly angry with the German government for keeping the president "in this embarrassing position." Officials on both sides agree that the dispute far from accomplishing the reconciliation Reagan had hoped for during his European trip next month, has reopened the wounds of the past.

Matthew Goldsbay and James Simmons, both 21, also were found guilty of making and detaining the 41-pound pipe bombs that exploded at their clinics and heavily damaged the other two. Goldby's fiancee, Kave Wiggins, 18, and Simmons wife, Kathy, 19, were convicted of conspiracy but acquired of charges that they participated in making and detonating the bomb Both women cried when the verdict was Goldsby and Simmons were convicted of one count of conspiracy, three counts of making bombs and bombing a house, and tenable sentence of its years in prison and $70,000 in fines each. read, but the two male defendants didn't react THE TWO WOMEN could be sentenced to five years in prison and fined $10,000. U. S. District Judge Roger Vinson scheduled sentencing for May 30. The men, who had been held without bond since their arrests a few days after the bombings, were released on their own remuneration pending trial and would remain free in the custody of their mothers. The jury of six women and six men deliberated only four hours and 20 minutes before rejecting defense claims that American innocence was on trial in the case because the defendants wanted only to stop a few scheduled deaths. Outside the courtroom, jury foreman Frank Bocchino read a statement noting that the decision was based on the evidence and the law as presented to the jury and said the moral beliefs concerning religion and the abortion issue did not in any way influence them. U. S. ATTORNEY M唐 Dillard said, "Abortion was made out to be a real issue in the case. The defense got their forum. I don't think they wanted to pay that high a price." Attorney Paul Shimek Jr., who represented Wiggins, said he thought the trial was fair. He said the most important success of the case was in showing him a film, "Assessment, Life," shown to jurors. "It brought out the whole issue." Shimek said. The defense raised the moral issue of abortion in court and was allowed by Vinson to show the jury the 45-minute film "Assignment: Life." The film vividly depicted the remains of aborted fetuses and showed two abortions being performed. But Vinson cautioned the jury repeatedly that abortion was not on trial. Other testimony in the case showed all four defendants to be devoutly religious. In his summation to the jury, Monaghan likened the four to the Sons of Liberty who tossed English tea overboard in Boston two centuries ago. He said Goldsby and Simmons were like Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, ditto. (John G. Browne) "That's what you want in an American be. You don't want the vipes." Monahan said. Congress defeats bills providing contra aid By United Press International WASHINGTON — The House, in a surprising series of votes, killed compromise proposals for aid to Nicaraguan rebels yesterday, sending President Reagan's two-week lobbying effort for the anti-Sandinista contras down in defeat. The House first passed by 219-206 a Democratic measure that would have provided $10 million in humanitarian aid on any rebels outside Nicaragua who laid down their arms and $4 million to promote a regional peace settlement. Then the House rejected 213-215 a Reagan compromise to restrict the release of $14 million for non-military aid to the rebels and channel it through a U.S. foreign aid agency. But in winding up their series of pari- mium twists, the house finally reject- ment has come to an end. The effect of the day's effort goes back to a decisive vote of 24 hours earlier — the rejection of Reagan's original proposal of $14 million in covert military aid to the contraits. For any further action, the process must begin all over again. THE REPUBLICAN-SPOONORED proposal — embraced by Reagan in a letter offering a series of concessions — would have given the Agency for International Development $14 million for humanitarian assistance to the contra rebels. Opponents argued this approach would taint the agency and make its actions worldwide suspect because it had helped a band of armed insurgents. "It is nothing less than aid to the contras." argued Rep. David Bonier, D-Mich., contending that dollars spent by the United States on food, clothing and medicine freed contra funds for military uses. House Republican Leader Robert Michel of Illinois said Reagan had called Speaker Thomas O'Neill, D-Mass. for his assistance and had pledged that the money would not go for military purposes. oItem was taken. THE DEFEAT REFLECTS that the American people object to "gunboat diplomacy." O'Neill said. Michel made an appeal for Reagan's proposal. "If we force the Democratic forces to abandon their own country to receive humanitarian aid, it will break their will and their unity," he said. Democrat Michael Barnes, D.Md., arguing for the Democratic proposal, said it would call the bluff of the Sandistas who had promised a cease-fire and internal reforms if the United States quit backing the contras. Assistant Republican leader Trent Lott of Mississippi argued, however, that with Burnes' proposal, "We might as well say good luck and good-bye" to the contras. In a letter to Michel, Reagan said the Democratic proposal would offer a "financial inducement for members of the resistive American army and become refugees in other countries." Under a complicated voting procedure being used by the House, the last measure to receive an affirmative vote was to be considered, approved and forwarded to the Senate for its consideration.
