NATION/WORLD BRIEFS
WASHINGTON — As an emblem of sacrifice, nothing matches a cut in pay — especially your own. For politicians, it's worth the money.
Politicians may sacrifice pay increases
President Bill Clinton's staff is said to be working at salaries lower than the same positions paid by Republican management, although the new pay levels haven't been disclosed. And, they just got a 1993 raise. There's even been talk of an attempt to rescind that.
Already, the Senate voted 98-0 on a non-binding resolution to skin the 1994 congressional raise.
The measure calls for a freeze at the $133,600 salary level, which includes the $4,100-cost of living boost that took effect Jan. 1. The one-year freeze will be imposed on congressional and staff salaries in budget and appropriations bills later this year.
Scientists say Lou Gehrig's disease might be treatable by existing drugs
House revises bill on federal employees
NEW YORK — Scientists from 13 medical centers have collaborated in identifying a gene that appears to cause Lou Gehrig's disease, and the findings suggest the illness might be treatable by existing drugs.
"We've been saying for a long time that there is light at the end of the tunnel," she said.
WASHINGTON — The U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly voted to revise a 1939 law that prohibits federal workers from involvement in political activities.
Lou Gebrig's disease, named for the New York Yankees' star who died of the illness in 1941, is a progressively paralyzing illness that affects an estimated 30,000 people in the United States.
The discovery, reported in yesterday's issue of the journal Nature, also might help explain the more subtle changes that accompany normal aging and might open the door to ways of slowing the aging process.
Lymn Klein of the ALS Association, which helped pay for the study, called the finding the biggest discovery so far in research into the disease, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or ALS.
The bill, approved Wednesday by a 333-86 vote, gives the nation's 3 million federal employees the right to run for some political offices, organize fund-raisers and publicly endorse candidates, as long as they do it on their own time.
But it retains the ban on federal workers running for federal and partisan state offices, meaning they can run for governor.
Rep. Douglas Applegate, D-Ohio, the bill was about First Amendment rights. He said that Ku Klux Klan and Nazi groups could get march permits while federal workers were not allowed to work on political campaigns.
Police instructor says officers used unnecessary force against motorist
LOS ANGELES — A police instructor returned to the stand yesterday for cross-examination by the defense on his testimony that three police officers violated policy when they beat motorist Rodney King.
"An officer should use only the force that is reasonable and necessary to overcome a suspect's resistance," said Sgt. Mark Conta, an officer in charge of physical training and self-defense at the Los Angeles Police Academy, testimony for the prosecution Wednesday at the police officers' federal civil rights trial.
Conta said that a baton blow to King's chest as the motorist lay face up on the ground was "the most flagrant violation" on the videoteo.
Asked whether his opinion would change if the officers believed King was under the influence of PCP, a key defense contention, Conta said, "It would not."
