A second tornado touched down 40 miles southeast of Venice, and a third touched down 100 miles east of Venice.

Ferraro defends television ad
LOS ANGELES - Geraldine Ferraro defended her decision to make a soda commercial in an interview published yesterday, saying male politicians were paid for commercial endorsements and "nobody gets upright by it."
In an interview with the Herald Examiner, Ferraro, former Democratic vice presidential candidate, said the criticism she had received for making the television commercial for Pepsi showed how women politicians had to fight a double standard.
Ferraro reportedly was paid $500,000 for the advertisement, which also features her two daughters.

U.S., Canada agree to talks on acid rain
By United Press International
QUEBEC — President Reagan and Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, hours after arriving for their 24-hour 'shamrock summit,' yesterday announced a joint effort to the acid rain problem, main point of friction between the North American neighbors.
The announcement, arranged in advance of negotiations between U.S. and Canadian officials, came less than two hours after Reagan and first lady Nancy Reagan stepped off Air Force One from Washington about 3:50 p.m. at L'Acienne Lorette Airport.
Reagan and Mulroney emerged from a 30-minute meeting at the historic Chateau Frontenac to announce the appointment of envoys to renew discussions on acid rain.
transportation secretary, as the U.S. envoy, and William G. Davis, a former prime minister of Ontario, was named the Canadian envoy.

"I think we have managed to break a deadlock," he said.
Reagan, showing no sign of wavering from his view that the problem demands further study rather than the concrete action urged by Mr. Bush, said the outcome of his initial talks with Mulroney.

REAGAN AND MULRONEY moved quickly to remove any hint of discord from talks scripted to emphasize close ties between the United States and Canada.
"We are more than friends and neighbors and allies," Reagan said at the airport arrival ceremony. "We are kin who together have built the most productive relationship between any two countries in the world today."
In an apparent reference to friction over acid rain, Reagan also declared that the United States and Canada had a joint stake in the environment of North America.

"HE ASKED FOR 'frank dealing, cooperation and a spirit of give and take.' That is precisely what your prime minister and I will be engaged in here in Quebec."
A crowd of about 2,000 demonstrators, including a man in a purple-and-white striped leotard and running shoes, gathered at a police line about a half-block from the Chateau Frontenac to protest acid rain, nuclear weapons and U.S. involvement in Central America. Police reported several arrests.

BRUSSELS. Belgium — Tens of thousands of demonstrators marched through Brussels yesterday to denounce the distribution of U.S. cruise missiles and called for the removal of the government for approving the action.
cruise missiles had been distributed to Florennes Belgian air force base only hours after the government announced it would accent the weanons.
Belgian Defense Minister Freddy Vreven confirmed Saturday that 16 U.S. nuclear
The distribution, which ended years of uncertainty over Belgium's role in NATO, was part of a 1979 NATO plan to station 572 medium-range cruise and Pershing 2 missiles in western Europe to counter Soviet SS-20 missiles already targeted on Europe.
Belgium was to be given 48 cruise missiles
under the program. The rest of the missiles are set to be distributed by late 1987.
The Cabinet's decision late Thursday to distribute the missiles sparked anger against the Christian Democrat-Liberal coalition of Wilfried Martens, Belgian prime minister.
Banners and signs denouncing an escalation in the arms race read, "No cruises. No SS 20's."
Organizers estimated that at least 150,000 demonstrators participated in the peaceful four-hour march through Brussels, but police officers had counted less than half that number.
Beer, money, traffic flow as students hit the beach
"This is an extreme provocation, a slap in the face of democracy from the government, and our ultimate hope rests with parliament," Andre Bogaat, leader of the Flemish Action Committee Against Atomic Weapons told the crowd.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — The beer flow, traffic jams abounded and cash registers jingled yesterday in the annual spring break known as spring break in southern Florida.
Thousands of students poured onto the beaches and into the streets of Fort Lauderdale on the busiest weekend of the spring season, arriving by bus, car, plane and train in the annual escape from college classrooms and winter's chill.
"At this point, the problems seem to be minor, compared to the rewards," said Scott Cowan, chairman of the Broward County Tourist Development Council.
Cowan and other city and county officials toured Fort Lauderdale's Strip area early yesterday, checking out the bars, the traffic jams and people.
Some students were less happy, saying that many revelers were too drunk.
Janet Schlesser, 21, a student at Northern Illinois University, said she would never return to Fort Lauderdale.
"I get grabbed everywhere I turn," she said. "I would have gone to lavarine, my parents to tears, to my children."
Terri Murray, 21, a senior at Northern Illinois University, said she pushed another woman into a swimming pool because the woman was 'strutting her stuff in front of the
"She was giving girls a bad name," Murray said. "She deserved to be pushed in."
Pat Ferrick, 19, a freshman at Marquette University, saw his first banana-eating course.
"It was kind of weird, but I kind of dug it," Ferrick said. "People just lose it down here. They just lose all common sense."
Pro-Iranian group says it kidnapped 3 in Beirut
By United Press International
BEIRUT, Lebanon — The pro-Iranian Islamic Jihad movement said yesterday that it was responsible for kidnapping an American reporter and two Britons in mainly Muslim west Beirut, saying "they have been exposed and their punishment is well known."
An unidentified caller to a Western news agency in Beirut said the group had seized Terry A. Anderson, chief Middle East correspondent and Beirut bureau chief for the associated Press, in west Beirut on Saturday.
Anderson, 37, was bundled into a green Mercedes as he dropped off AP photographer Donald Mell at Mell's apartment after an early morning tennis game. One of the three gunmen who seized Anderson
held Mell at bay with a pistol during the kidnapping.
The caller from Islamic Jihad — Islamic War — gave no conditions for the rescue.
The group also claimed to have kidnapped Brian Levick, a British businessman who was abducted Friday, and had been the scientist who was abducted Thursday.
Other foreigners missing in Lebanon are the Rev. Martin Lawrence Jenco, 50, the director of Catholic Relief Services who was kidnapped Jan. 8; Peter Kilburn, 60, a librarian at the American University of Beirut who disappeared last Nov. 30; the Rev Benjamin E. Woeir, 60, a Presbyterian minister in Israel; a political officer at William Buckley, a political officer at the U.S. Embassy who was abducted in March 1984.
