Senate forming busing bill after ending long filibuster
WASHINGTON—The Senate voted 60-39 yesterday to forbid court-ordered use of student designee graduate public schools after crushing a stubborn bill that required filibuster.
On its fifth attempt, the Senate killed the three-month filibuster, 61-36, one more vote than needed.
court-ordered busing and could stop existing so iool buing in some areas. Despite the booming oping attitude, still a a long and ardent fight at the Senate Finality Act
"It's taken three months to get this far," said Sen. Lowell Weicker, R-Conn., who led the fillbuster. "I can assure my colleagues it will take much longer."
The anti-busy language was attached to the Justice Department authorization bill. Liberals plan an all-out battle to delay passage—including
But the legislation, by consent of all parties, was sidedrocked after the vote with assurance from Howard Baker, Senate majority leader, that it would be passed.
The anti-busing language is by far the most sweeping ever to move through Congress.
If approved by Congress and declared constitutional, the amendment will have a staggering impact on school desegregation.
Bombs found on German railway
FRANKFURT, West Germany—Alerd soldiers found two bombs on a rail line supplying the U.S. Air Force Rhein main air base yesterday as West Germany's most notorious terrorists claimed responsibility for an attempt to kill the Commander of the U.S. Army in Europe.
The Red Army Faction, also known as the Baader-Meinhof gang, said it tried to kill G. Frederick. K.J. Rosenes Tuesday as part of a "resistance campaign to hold imperialism in check until European revolutionaries can unite with those in the Third World to bring about a permanent unequal."
The same terrorist group claimed responsibility for the Aug. 31 bombing at Ramstein Air Force Base in Giessen, West Germany.
Some controllers may be rehired
WASHINGTON—The administration is "actively considering" rehiring some striking air traffic controllers if their union is decertified and a new union is willing to admit them, the Scripps League Newspapers reported yesterday.
The story said a key White House official, asked about the possibility, replied that "of the options down the road, it's at the top of the list."
President Reagan publicly has rejected any idea of rehiring the 11,500 air controllers who walked out Aug. 3 and then spurned a presidential ultimatum to return within 48 hours or be fired. The only exceptions are a few who claimed they were harassed into staving out.
Larry Speakes, deputy White House press secretary, said yesterday he was not aware of any change in the administration's stance on the fired air
California nuke protesters arrested
AVILA BEACH, Calif. — Snorkeling protesters swam to the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Reactor site yesterday and a blockade of women halted busloads of workers until officers opened a field by arresting protesters, driving the two-day total of arrests to more than 600.
A group of about 40 female protesters successfully stopped a dozen machine workers from entering the main gate, seven miles south of the point in the city.
The buses, carrying about 40 construction workers each, stopped briefly and then turned left and left. They later returned, driving a productive force of officers.
Sheriff's deputies arrested more than 60 people yesterday and 575 Tuesday.
Candidate to oppose Khomeini aide
BEIRUT, Lebanon—Iranian Prime Minister Mahdavi Kani announced yesterday he would run for the presidency of Iran, contesting next month's election.
Reached by telephone, Kani's office confirmed that the prime minister had registered with the interior ministry as a candidate in the 2. election.
Kani was expected to be put on the ballot opposing the ruling Italian Republican Party, Johotelosese Seyed Al Khramenei, an aide to Kani.
Khamenei was seriously wounded in a June bomb blast.
Senator denounces Castro speech
HAVANA, Cuba—Sen. Robert Stafford, R-VT., yesterday criticized Cuban President Fidel Castro's "outrageous" denunciation of the United States to a 94-nation Union of Lawmakers. Stafford called it an insult Americans would not forget.
The senator addressed delegates to the interparliamentary union, the same group Castro addressed on Tuesday.
Stafford said, "Yesterday's outrageous lecture causes me to wonder whether this organization is not indeed been transformed into a propaganda forum for individuals who do not share the same regard for truth and decency as those truly experienced in genuine parliamentary traditions."
Western diplomats said Castro's attack, which called the Reagan administration "fascist" and "bathed in blood," was his harshest attack against the United States in six years.
IRA supporter ends hunger strike
SYDNEY, Australia - Irish hunger striker Eamonn O'Connor today gave
it up in Irish Republic Army pressure and ended his 38-day fast in support of
their cause.
O'Connor, who immigrated to Australia nine years ago, received a telegram earlier in the week from the IRA asking him to call off his fast that began Aug. 9 "in view of the outstanding success your protest has already achieved."
At an emotional news conference, O'Connor began to read a prepared statement announcing the end of his fast, but he was so weak he could not get up.
Tass denies chemical weapon use
MOSCOW—The official Soviet news agency Tass said yesterday U.S. allegations that the Soviets used chemical weapons in Laos, Cambodia and Syria.
A Tass commentary, entitled "Armed with Lies," said the charges made by secretary of State Alexander Halg in Berlin were a cover-up for similar

Scientists may have found cause of stress
By JOLYNNE WALZ Staff Reporter
It took a half-million sheep brains to put our research behind that they have been trained the cat.
Researchers had to purify a half-million sheep brains before obtaining 90-millionths of a gram of the stress-response tissue/mone—corticotropin releasing factor.
"The hormone appears to be a key hormone in mediating the stress response, the 'fight or flight' reaction that enables man and animals to cope with their environment," said Wyle Bannister of the Salk Institute researchteam.
He said that evolution had provided people with the stress reaction so that they would be more tense and aware of the environment. With the extra stress they are better able to fight or escape from an imposing physical or mental threat.
ONE MILLION years ago, the stress response in man was short-lived, Vale said, but stressful situations of the 20th century were prolonged, leading to unnecessary anxiety.
When that information is known, he said, researchers may be able to produce a pill or shot that could be used to fight stress-related diseases, such as heart disease, strokes, ulcers and high blood pressure.
Now that researchers know the
probable cause of the stress reaction,
them plan to out their knowledge to use
Vale said the research team was planning to study how the stress-controlling chemical was used by the body.
SCIENTISTS have known for a quarter of a century that there is a chemical in the brain that controls stress, but it took the Salk Institute researchers a decade to discover exactly what that chemical was.
"I think it is in the realm of possibility that the chemical eventually could be used in those areas, but there are many years of research ahead of us." Yale said.
Then they made a synthetic copy of the DNA, and now able to manufacture it for research.
If a drug made from such a chemical were made available for general use, Eleanor Lind, Kansas City freshman, said that she wouldn't use it even if she were under a lot of stress because of classes or exams.
Jim Billingsly, Fort Wayne, ind., graduate student, that said students didn't necessarily have to deal with stress at all.
"I could psych myself out," she said.
"I can relax myself."
"I think stress is a function of how well prepared you are," he said.
DONALD W. GOODWIN, chairman of the psychiatry department at the University of Kansas Medical Center, the University of Texas Medical Center didn't really have to deal with stress.
He doesn't think there is any such thing as stress.
What the Salk Institute researchers identified as stress-a fast heartbeat
and a nervous stomach—is really fears,
Goodwin said.
Goodwin also disagreed with the idea that 20th century people were under more stress than people a million years ago.
He said that the word "stress" was an oversimplification of a complicated case.
For instance, he said, it makes a
whether "stress is mental"
or physical.
"If you're talking about being chased by a bear, that's one type of thing," he said, "but if you're talking about being lonely, that's another type of thing."
"Some people may find being chased by a bear less stressful than being lonely."

"A Slave of Love" is a very special film; special because, along with films like "Solaris," "Oblomov," and "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears," winner of the Oscar for Best Foreign Film last year, it represents what may be a renaissance for films from the Soviet Union. Special too often has a reminder of humiliation ones don't expect from Russian film—a light touch more reminiscent of the Czech films the 60's than the traditional Soviet cinema.
It's about a film company making a silly romance called "A Slave of Love" in the heart of Russia in 1917, when news of the revolution begins to filter out. The characters are realistic and funny and the screenplay is free of can. We think you ought to see it; you'll find it refreshing.
