Mail service negotiations resume WASHINGTON — The Postal Service and two unions representing 500,000 postal workers agreed yesterday to return to negotiations today, just 14 hours before their current contract expires, a union spokesman said. "We have not been in contact with the Postal Service, but representatives of the FMCS (Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service) have assured us the Postal Service now is prepared to return to the bargaining table for the express purpose of discussing economic issues and wages." Alan Madison, spokesman for the American Postal Workers Union, said. Union leaders said the Postal Service was seeking a three-year wage freeze, a two-tier pay scale with new workers receiving one third less, and cutbacks in other benefits.

Communists not included in new Cabinet of France By United Press International PARIS — Socialist Prime Minister Laurent Fabius formed a new government yesterday that excluded the Communist Party and cleared the way for a controversial plan to streamline inefficient state-owned industries. The Communist Party has been a junior partner of the ruling Socialists since the left came to power in 1981 and had four ministers in the Cabinet of Prime Minister Pierre Mauroy, who resigned Tuesday. The Communists refused to participate in the 42-member Cabinet in protest over President Francis Mitterrand's economic austerity policies and an industry modernization that they had leave about 200,000 people without jobs.

The victims ranged in age from 8 months to 74 years. Huberty once held licenses as a funeral director and an embalmer and performed his funeral apprenticeship at the Don Williams Funeral Home in Canton. Williams said Huberty had "a short, quick temper," but was not violent. "He was a loner. He didn't like being around the public, but he liked embalming." Terry Kelly, who worked with Huberty at the Babeock and Wilcox plant in Canton, Ohio, said Hilcox told him just before the plant closed in 1981 that "if this was the end of his making a living for his family, he was going to take everyone with him." "HE WAS ALWAYS talking about shooting somebody. He says, 'Hey, I got nothing to live for. I got no job or anything.'" Despite a number of complaints about his dogs, police only had one reported arrest of Huberty — for drunk and disorderly conduct at a service station in 1980. He was fined and paid court costs.
