News Briefs From United Press International LA coroner says narcotics cause of comedian's death
LOS ANGELES — Comedian John Belushi, the ground-faced, anti-hero of *Peeps*, has joined a coalition and cocaine, Los Angeles County Coroner Thomas Noguchi said yesterday.
"The medical investigation into the death of John Belushi has been published," said Michael Schachs in a brief statement. The deceased died of an overdose due to intake of prescription drugs.
No one in the hotel came shortly after Police Chief Daryl Gates confirmed that a white powder believed to be cocaine was found in贝仕谢's hotel room. The police were not alerted until shortly before closing.
Gates' comments during a speech at the police academy and in answer to report questions after the talk were the first speeches statements by deputy commissioner William Dempsey.
After the coroner's announcement, Gates identified for the first time the woman taken away from the hotel in handcuffs the afternoon Belushi's body was discovered by a friend and physical therapist, who was unable to reach him by teloneh.
Gates identified the so-called "mystery woman" as Evelyn Smith, but gave no further details about her.
Smith, who signed for Belushi's breakfast that morning when it was delivered by room service and later drove up to the hotel in his rented, red Mercedes, was released by detectives after several hours of questioning at police headquarters.
Senate postpones vote on Williams
WASHINGTON—A test vote on the expulsion of Harrison Williams for his absaccent case was delivered at least a day, and a judge had also ruled considering resignation.
Senate Republican Leader Howard Baker, who had sought an agreement to vote in the late afternoon on a militee resolution, did not use his hand as a pointer.
Instead, he let debate continue. A vote on censure is scheduled for this afternoon and a vote on expulsion is scheduled to be before the day's end.
Williams was convicted of bribery and conspiracy during the FBI's Abscam investigation. He has appealed the conviction and has based his case on new evidence.
if he does not resign, Williams could become the 18th Senator to be expelled—the first in 120 years and the first ever booted out for any lesser crime than treason or disloyalty.
CAB investigates American Airlines
DALLAS—The Civil Aeronautics Board is investigating allegations that "trucks" in an attempt to force its rail, Paris-based international airport, to fly.
The key issue is whether American Airlines deliberately created a Braniff Airlines cash-flow crisis last week by withholding some $9 million worth of tickets in its accounting department and suddenly "dumping" them on the industry clearing house for processing.
William Wentz, general counsel to the CAB in Washington, confirmed that his agency was investigating a series of allegations.
"At this point in time, there's nothing I can say as to whether they are violations," he said. "It's something we're looking into."
An American Airlines spokesman said that the allegations were "ludicrous and ridiculous at best and ugly at worst."
Guatemalan vote may cause strike
GUATEMALA CITY—A Guatemalan business group said yesterday that its members would shut down operations to protest "coarse electoral fraud" in the presidential balloting—a first move toward a possible nationwide general strike.

The candidates said their combined total of votes was actually 80 percent of all who voted and that the winner, Gen. Arbal Aquevara, the government's nominee, was the top candidate.
Brown to try for Senate this time
LOS ANGELES—Gov. Edmund Brown, who failed twice in presidential bids, yesterday announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate, charging that President Reagan was dragging the nation into a "black hole" of economic turmoil.
The hard truth is that the president's economic game plan is not worth it. A democrat, say. "Wall Street knows it. Main Street feels it. The long unemployed."
Brown, who opened his 1960 presidential bid by pledging to "protect our earth, serve the people and explore the universe," said his Senate campaign would be based on increased employment, equity for the elderly and poor and "scaling back" the nuclear arms race.

Panel adopts abortion amendment
