Senators fail to concur on jobs bill
WASHINGTON — The Senate, in a test vote yesterday, rejected a key provision in a $3.9 billion jobs and relief bill that would have channelled about $667 million to 15 states with high long-term unemployment.
On a 51-43 vote, the Senate refused to kill an amendment to delete the targeting formula. The Senate plans to discuss the jobs bill again today.
Unless the Senate comes up with a compromise before final passage of the bill, expected today, a Senate-House conference committee will have to work out a formula for distributing the bill's funds.
Meanwhile, the House agreed to extend federal unemployment benefits for six months and to give people who have exhausted their eligibility up to 10 weeks of additional benefits.

Seven white New Orleans policemen are charged with violating the civil rights of witnesses during the investigation of the November 1980 slaying of officer Gregory Neupert. Neupert was killed in the predominately black Algiers section of New Orleans.

Williams smothered, brother claims
NEW YORK — The brother of the late Tennessee Williams said yesterday he believed that the playwright was smothered "by someone very close to him," and wanted authorities to reopen the investigation into his death.
Williams said he disagreed with the conclusion of Elliot Gross, New York City's chief medical examiner, who said Tennessee Williams, 71, died Feb. 25 because he swallowed a plastic bottle cap that became lodged in his throat.
His death was expected to be ruled accidental.
Williams also said he intended to block his brother's will, which left him nothing and gave $10 million to form the Institute of Arts and Letters for Indigent Writers in New York.

Ripples of reform follow pope
GUATEMALA CITY — Pope John Paul II's eight-day trip to Central America, although billed by the Vatican as an evangelical tour, is apt to have important political and social repercussions in the strite-rorn region.
By United Press International
THE AUDIENCE, estimated at 200,000, roared its approval. Members clipped their hands and beat on drums used at voodoo ceremonies as the pope made his demands for human rights and a better life for the poor
As the pope said on the final day of his visit yesterday, one of his purposes was to put the light spotlight on areas of suffering in the world as a voice to those who "suffer in silence."
Ending his eight-nation tour, Pope John Paul II exhorted Haiti's rulers to combat the "injustice," misery, and slavery among the Western amirshoppers's poorest country.
"Something must change here," the
pope said in French at an airport Mass
Salvadoran President Alvaro Magaña greeted the pope with the announcement of national elections for December with full political participation, pushing up the date by some four months.
IF THE ELECTIONS are on schedule, especially if segments of the left are persuaded to lay down their weapons to participate, the *Vatican* could well take some of the credit.
The president of Guatemala, Efraín Rios Montt, told the pope that he would propose political liberalization March 23, the anniversary of his seizure of power one year ago.
IN NICARAGUA, another of the three countries in Central America that presented sensitive problems, the visit had little immediate influence on the insta- nistra government, which is trying to build a top-to-bottom sociat- society.
Yet the pope made it clear that imposition of Marcus ideology, would meet the determined resistance not only of local bishops, already feeding with the regime they once supported, but also with the Vatican.
Booklet tells Soviet military secrets
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — The Reagan administration, intensifying its rearmament campaign, unveiled information yesterday about a mushrooming Soviet military power that Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger said must be matched to prevent "world domination" by Moscow.
"We must continue to demonstrate our resolve not to allow the military balance to tip against the United States." President Reagan said in a statement issued by the White House along with the Pentagon report.
WEINBERGER HELD a 45-minute Pentagon news conference that was transmitted live via satellite to European reporters at NATO headquarters in Brussels to present 'Soviet information' on the previously secret information about Moscow's growing arsenal and its expanding global influence.
Weinberger said between 250 and 275 Soviet SS:20 missiles are aimed at Western Europe.
The booklet indicated the Soviets are making preparations for war in outer space, and Weinberger said the Kremenko was confident its capability to fight a prolonged war "was."
Publication of the revised booklet is part of an intensified campaign by the administration to win support for its $1.6 trillion rearmament effort at a time when Congress, former government officials and defense contractors are attacking the level of military spending.
CONGRESS HAS threatened to reduce the proposed $236.6 billion defense budget for fiscal year 1984 by as much as $40 million, and budget is 10 percent higher than last year.
Two Democratic senators said the report was part of a misleading campaign by the Reagan administration to justify its defense budget.
Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass
termed 'the study "classic scare-mongering" designed to trighten the country and the Congress into wasting billions of dollars.
Sen. Gary Hart, D-Colo., a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, complained the Pentagon report unveiled by Defense Secretary Robert Nunberger "makes it sound as if the Russians are just over the horizon."
THE HOUSE FORGE Affairs Committee voted 27.9 Tuesday to adopt a resolution urging a mutual and verifiable freeze on nuclear weapons, a position the administration strongly denounces as harmful to U.S. efforts to catch up with the Soviets by modernizing the strategic nuclear forces.
House Republican leader Bob Michel told the President the house probably will not vote on the budget.
Senate Republican Leader Howard Baker also predicted success in some form for a freeze motion in the Senate.
Nkomo flees to Botswana
By United Press International
BULAWAYO. Zimbabwe — the escape of occupation leader Joshua Nkoma to neighboring Botswana was disclosed yesterday as Western reporters were shown the bodies of four people, apparently killed in a crackdown.
Nkomo, who has been accused of plotting a coup against the government of Robert Mugabe, died in fear from a brain infection. The government spokesman said
VILLAGERS LED Western journalists to a shallow grave containing six decomposing male bodies in the southern province of Mabatelemla, where the North Korean trained 30 Brigade has been accused of killing between eight and 2,000 civilians since January in sweeps against disentities.
The bodies, each with a bullet through the head, were face down with hands over faces in the bash a half-hour drive from Bulawayo, Nkomo's home and Zimbabwe's second largest city.
About one mile from the grave, the reporters found two charred skulls and other human remains still burning in a fire beneath a tree.
VILLAGERS, WHO asked not to be identified, said the pit probably contained an additional 10 bodies, nine other bodies hurried close by.
The villagers reported hearing gunfire in the area three weeks ago at the same time as 5th-Brigade troops were seen pulling civilians off buses in the area and marching them into the bush
