Workers clear unsafe snow after California avalanches
SQUAW VALLEY, Calif.—Rescue workers using dynamite and heavy snowplows yesterday cleared tons of unstable snow from a ski resort where the worst of a series of Sierra Nevada avalanches killed three people and left 11 others missing.
Four avalanches, triggered by nearly 13 feet of new snow dropped since Sunday by the most powerful spring blizzard in a generation, rolled Wednesday into the popular resorts of Alpine Meadows and Squaw Valley, site of the 1980 Winter Ovimics.
At Alpine Meadows, walls of snow nearly a mile-wide rolled through an area known as Beaver Bowl, uprooting an A-frame structure, pushing it into the main ski lodge and partially burying a parking lot. Three bodies were found on the ground, officials said 11 people were missing and feared trapped under the snow.
The National Weather Service said 155 inches of new snow fell on the Sierra Nevada between Sunday and Wednesday night. Both main highways from California into Nevada were closed, and hundreds of cross country roads were closed. A total of 292 warmer warnings were posted for the Lake Tahoe Basin and the surrounding area.
YAMIT. Israeli-Occupied Sinai—Israeli soldiers and squatters opposed to the Sinai National Liberation Mission in Lebanon, the Parliament of Israel, and the Islamic State for seizing territory and laying the groundwork for their reclamation.
Sinai withdrawal causes skirmish
Israel's Army Radio said two navy gunboats stopped five boats loaded with 70 members of the movement to stop the withdrawal from Sinai as they approached the border.
The final passage of the compensation bill came just four hours after the Israeli army sealed Northern Sinai in preparation for the return of the strategic region to Egypt under the 1979 peace treaty between the two nations.
The bill gives the 1,400 families who settled Yamit and its surrounding farming settlements almost a decade ago $250 million to resettle inside
Junta leader vows to keep office
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador-Junta President Jose Napoleon Duarte vowed yesterday to hold on to the presidency "if the people want me" and warned rightist foes that U.S. support could end if his reforms were dismantled.
"Do you think the U.S. Congress would approve aid for a kind of government that goes on back all the reforms made in the past two years?" Duarte
A top official of El Salvador's major right-wing party said yesterday that the ruling Christian Democrats could join a new rightist government if they were given more power.
The offer was extended by a high-ranking politician and official of the republican ballot and form the next government. That is expected to lead a Republican bid and form the next government.
Although the Christian Democrats were the biggest vote-getters in Sunday's elections for a constituent assembly, five right-wing parties announced plans to form a coalition that would give them control of the 60-seat assembly.
Bradv allowed help on medical bills
WASHINGTON—Congress passed legislation yesterday to allow White House Press Secretary James Brady to accept contributions to help defray medical expenses resulting from the wounds he suffered in the attempt on President Reagan's life last March 30.
The law forbids federal employees from accepting any remuneration from sources outside government or from organizations that provide an exemption for compensation found in an assassination attempt.
Brady, who spent eight months in the hospital recovering from a head wound and who still faces a lengthy rehabilitation process, was admitted to his home after surgery.
Officials at the hospital said that no surgery was planned for treatment of an inflamed vein in Brady's left leg, but that he was receiving medication.
Brady's ailment was listed as thrombophlebitis, an irritation of a vein caused by the formation of a blood clot, and he was being treated with blood-thinners.
Senate committee OKs defense bill
WASHINGTON - The Senate Armed Services Committee yesterday gave President Reagan most of what he wanted for his $183.4 billion weapons and military manpower bill, but cut out a new Army helicopter and stopped interim deployment of the new MX missile in vulnerable existing silos.
The committee announced approval of a $180.2 billion defense authorization bill that includes the Pentagon's weapons and the committee's
That is $3.2 billion less than Reagan had requested, but it includes nearly $4.6 billion for the production of the first seven B-1 bombers. $6.79 billion for two new Nimitz-class nuclear carriers and money for the reactivation of two battleships.
Polish newspaper criticizes regime
WARSAW, Poland - In a series of letters that took observers by surprise, a government newspaper yesterday printed the first criticism of the regime in which it was posted.
The letters, which also defended the now-banned Solidarity labor union against charges that it was responsible for Poland's economic plight, applauded a speech by Mr. Peskin, president of the
One of the letters hunchly accused the government of driving Poland to the bankruptcy.
Count the young labor movement . . . bear the responsibility for the fact that the (Communist) Party and State administration brought the country to the brink of the greatest economic and political crisis in Polish history?" asked one letter from Mieczsław Lange, Warsaw worker.
Brezhnev's health still a mystery
MOSCOW—The mystery over President Leonid Breznev's health deepened yesterday with a Communist Party spokesman refusing to confirm or deny reports from Soviet sources that the 75-year-old Kremlin leader was hospitalized.
A spokesman for the International Information Department of the Communist Party Central Committee said only, "No comment. Nothing more
Brezhev has not been seen in public since March 25, when he returned from a trip to Tashkent that left him obviously fatigued.
Soviet sources said Breznykh had been hospitalized, but they added they did not know whether he was simply resting after a recent round of apeches that began in Ukraine.
Concern about Breznev's health first increased when Soviet television failed to broadcast coverage of his return to Moscow from Tashkent last year.
