Nurse to die for murders of patients
RIVERSIDE, Calif. — A coronary care nurse was sentenced yesterday to die in the gas chamber for murdering 12 patients at two rural hospitals by injecting them with massive doses of a heart drug.
Superior Court Judge John Barnard, who presided over the non-jury trial, rejected a defense request for a life prison sentence and ruled Diaz should be executed for the murders. Diaz sat upright and displayed no emotion.
Formal sentencing was scheduled for May 4, when the defense is expected to ask for a new trial and modification of the penalty.

New Orleans may get gay rights law
NEW ORLEANS — Despite opposition from church leaders, supporters of an ordinance banning discrimination against homosexuals were confident the city today would become one of the first in the Deep South to pass such a law.

EPA chief warns of gas restrictions
"The essential problem, of course, is that the original phase-down schedule isn't working if the tampering of these newer automobiles is occurring at anywhere near the percentages we are finding across the country," said Ruckelshaus. "So we're going to have to take a different approach."
WASHINGTON — The government is likely to restrict leaded gas even further — or ban it altogether because too many motorists use it illegally, Environmental Protection Agency chief William Ruckelshaus said yesterday.
By United Press International
In his strongest statement yet on the controversy, Ruckelshaus said he was worried that the present federal program for reducing lead pollution was being thwarted by people who tamper with newer automobiles and pump loaded fuel into cars designed only for unleaded gas.
THE EPA HAS estimated 12 percent of cars equipped with catalytic converters to control air emissions are being improperly fueled with leaded gas, and the increased lead gas is more than 10 cents per gallon cheaper than unleaded gasoline.
Ruckelshaus said his alternatives ranged from "doing nothing to a ban on lead in gasoline."
He clearly indicated that the restrictions on loaded gas would be, at the very least, tightened — saying the option of merely sticking with the current program "is not a very live one."
A decision will be made soon, Ruckelhaus said.
He acknowledged that an outright ban on ledged gasoline was possible, but cautioned, "Any ban would involve a very long period of adjustment that's involved."
petitioned the agency to ban lead in gasoline.
A main EPA report two weeks ago concluded that the benefits of banning or severely restricting leaded gas "substantially exceed the costs."
The EPA is coming under increasing pressure to take action on the issue. On March 14, a coalition of four states, environmental and consumer groups and the cities of New York and Chicago
THE STUDY WARNED that medical researchers were finding growing evidence of health damage from exposure to small quantities of lead. It also disclosed that the national Center for Disease Control in Atlanta was considering lowering its definition of what constitutes toxic lead levels.
About 120 million pounds of lead get into the air in the United States each year, mainly from motor vehicle exhaust.
Rally ends with death of a mayor
By United Press International
MANILA, Philippines — Unidentified gunmen shot to death a deputy mayor and two others yesterday at an outdoor opposition rally in a remote southern province officials said.
Deputy Mayor Rosita Villafuarte of the town of Sipocot, in Camarines Sur province, 150 miles southeast of Manila. A single bullet fired at the back of her head.
A flurry of gunfire followed, killing a village chief and one of some 500 spectators, the opposition United Nationalist Democratic Organization said in a statement.
A human rights group, meanwhile, said three people involved in a protest near the U.S. Embassy had disapointed by the police, saying that they were picked up by police.
in a saloon.
Villafeur had just delivered her speech shortly after midnight Tuesday, when the unidentified men shot her.
"we have received death threats since the beginning of the campaign, but we did not expect something like this to happen," the assemblyman told reporters in Sipocot.
The deaths brought to 10 the toll of violence related to the elections May 14 for 183 seats in the National Assembly.
The missing people had been among some 2,000 marchers walking behind a hearse carrying the remains of four anti-government activists believed to have been killed by the military.
Villafuente was campaigning for her brother-in-law, assemblyman Luis Villafuente, a former trade minister in the Marcos government who joined the opposition. He is seeking re-election with UNIDO, a coalition of 17 parties.
Mines voted down in committee
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — The House Foreign Affairs Committee, following the lead of the Senate, overwhelmingly approved a resolution yesterday opposing any U.S. involvement in the mining of Nicaragua ports.
The non-binding resolution offered by Rep. Michael Barnes, D-Md., was passed on a 23-1 vote and quickly cleared for action by the full House today.
The Republican-controlled Senate, in a rare rebuke to President Reagan's Central America policy, voted 84-12 Tuesday for a similar amendment opposing the mining.
The House committee vote came as Speaker Thomas O'Neill condemned the U.S. mining of Nicaraguan ports as "terrorism at its worst" and Senate Democratic leader Robert Bvrd accused the CIA of lawlessness.
But a key State Department official told Congress the mining was justified because it was carried out in "self-defense."
In a related development, the House called for a House-Senate conference committee on a bill providing $21 million for CIA-backed Nicaraguan
O'Neill, D-Mass., told reporters the aid request for Nicaragua "doesn't have a chance" of being approved. He said previously that Reagan might get about half the $82 million which the same bill provides for emergency military aid to El Salvador.
"We don't have any other options. If Congress cuts the funds, the operations will end once the current $24 million has been expended," a CIA official said.
Barricada, the official newspaper of Nicaragua's ruling Sandinista Front, quoted Junta Coordinator Daniel Ortega who praised the "energetic way in which the American legislators have come out against the mining of Nicaraguan ports."
Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., in a letter to Casey complaining about the CIA's failure to inform him about the mining, said Tuesday that he had learned Reagan signed an order authorizing the operation.
