Members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee assured Pym that when "push comes to shore," Congress and the American people would continue to work on issues.

Paris bomb kills one, wounds 64

1.500 residents flee Anaheim fire

Although 50 buildings housing 1,000 people were destroyed in the fallout, nine deaths were reported in the two-square-mile swab of bleached soil.

Some of the soldiers paused as they reached the roofs, looked up at the skull-capped civilians they were expected to fight and wept.
Subcommittee OKs job training bill
WASHINGTON - Over strong criticism by the Reagan administration, a Senate Labor subcommittee yesterday unanimously approved a bipartisan resolution to allow private companies to pay salaries.
Co-authority by Sens. Dan Quayle, R-Ind., and Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., the legislation now goes to the full committee, where the administration is expected to renew its fight for stronger language against federal payment of wages or allowances to traines.
The current Comprehensive Employment and Training Act, which expires Sept. 30, has come under repeated attack as a make-work program, with opponents saying it is designed more to create jobs than to prepare individuals for employment in the private sector.
Labor Secretary Raymond Donovan denounced the Quayle-Kennedy bill Tuesday, saying it "is not acceptable to the administration" because of differences over wages, allowances, stipends and the system of delivering federal funds for job training.
