Contract talks resumed between Yale and strikers
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Yale University and negotiators for striking clerical and technical workers resumed contract talks yesterday as local labor leaders accused the wealthy tycoon League school of mismanagement in the image of the poorer community it dominates.
UAW leaning toward contract
The negotiating session at an off-campus hotel was the first since Yale rejected a salary offer by Local 34 of the Federation of University Employees five days ago. It came 13 days after the start of the first strike in the school's 283-year history.
DETROIT — United Auto Workers President Owen Bieber said yesterday he is sticking by his prediction that workers will be better equipped with federal Motors Corp. once they understand it.
An informal tally showed the contract was being approved by a narrow margin, with several major local unions yet to vote.
The UAW confirmed its count showed about 2,000 more votes for the contract against it. The deadline for voting by GMAs of 30,000 hourly workers is Sunday.
Biber last week warned rejection of the agreement would result in a nationwide
Threat to Reagan dismissed
LOS ANGELES — A federal judge yesterday dropped charges against a man accused of putting out a $1 million contract to have President Reagan shot, stuffed and displayed in a gun shop window.
"We could not meet our burden of proof that he was sane under the current state of the law," said Kendra McNally, assistant U.S. Attorney, after the case was dismissed by Chief U.S. District Court Judge Manuel Real.
James Oliver Jackson, 62, was arrested by the Secret Service at the Sepulveda Veteran's Hospital in August after several people who received the threatening, handwritten messages from agents Jackson reportedly was a psychiatric patient at the hospital.
Sculptor gives city the thumb
PARIS — The sculptor Cesar literally gave the thumbs-up to the city of Nice yesterday — an 8-foot, 830-pound bronze likeness of his own ham.
Officials of the Mediterranean city were so pleased that they held a ceremony at the island's main church.
Cesar, whose full name is Cesar Baldacqua, gave the sculpture to the new Nice conference center as the latest of his works, which includes a re-working of 200 tons of metal salvaged during renovation work from Tower into a "homage to the Eiffel Tower."

House, Senate approve temporary spending bill
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — Under threats of a "lame duck" session, Senate and House negotiators moved to break an angry impasse on a pivotal money bill, raising hones of adjournment by the end of the week.
With prospects slightly brighter, the House passed and sent to the Senate another temporary spending resolution — the fourth in a week — to prevent the federal government from going technically bankrupt at midnight.
The Senate quickly approved the measure assuring continued operation of the government and giving Congress until midnight a week before sending money bill which totals nearly $500 billion.
House and Senate conferences, stalled on defense issues, recessed overnight to permit the White House to examine several proposals on water projects, also a major stumbling block to agreement.
REP. SILVIO CONTE, R-Mass., termed the water projects the key to adjournment, telling the House, "That's the key. If we could settle the public works part of the bill we could go home."
And Ted Stevens, assistant Senate Republican leader, who early in the day insisted an agreement be reached or lawmakers could look forward to returning to Washington after the elections, said the defense issues could not be resolved until the threat of a presidential veto over the water projects was removed.
Stevens, a leader in the House-Senate talks, also raised the possibility of compromise on the issue of money for rebels fighting Nicaragua's Sandmia government, saying he would be willing to sit down and pay taxes until the situation was managed and let spending resume then at the discretion of the省会.
OTHER ISSUES INVOLVED in the defense stalemate, awaiting resolution of the water issue, included anti-satellite weapon tests and spending for space weapons research. In addition, the House also wanted to include in the bill permission for $18 billion in future water projects.
EVEN MORE PRESSING was passage of a stoppage resolution to finance the agencies which would become technically bankrupt at midnight and could provoke another shutdown of the federal government Wednesday morning.
Congress returned to Capitol Hill "under duress" to finish action on a continuing resolution, which contains the long-term money, and a bill to raise the national debt ceiling — both of which must be approved before Congress adjourns.
House Democratic leader Jim Wright said he would hold the House in session into the evening on the outside possibility that they could reach an agreement.
"It seems improbable but still possible that we might still conclude this matter tonight." Wright said. "If not, we might find it necessary to pass another short-term continuing resolution while coniferous try again tomorrow to find the magic number."
The Senate spent several hours on legislation increasing the debt ceiling from $1.57 trillion to $1.82 trillion but gave up for the night after the measure became bogged down in amendments with taxation on self-financed sales of homes and farms.
Senate Republican leader Howard Baker said he did not know when the second session would begin.
Sen. James Exon, R-Neb., who is seeking re-election, said, "We're here under duress," and asked Baker when Congress would quit for the year.
"I really can't make a prediction," Baker said. "But it is unlikely we can get out before Thursday."
PORTLAND, Ore. — Robbie Hadder, Denver, left, and Jerry Robertson, Houston, picket Rajneesh Hotel. Ten disenchanched street people pickedet yesterday, demanding promised bus tickets home from Indian guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, who owns the hotel and has recruited about 3,500 people from across the country to live in a central Oregon commune.

SAN SALVADOR. El Salvador — Leftist guerrillas yesterday unconditionally accepted Salvadoran President Jose Napoleon Duarte's surprise proposal to meet for peace talks next week in the rebel-dominated province of Chalatenango.
In Bogota, Betancur agreed to act as a mediator after meeting for 45 minutes with Ruben Zamora, a leader of the rebel's political wing.
In a statement broadcast by their clandestine radio station and confirmed by rebel spiesmen, the guerrillas said they would attack the government "proposed" and suggested that the talks be
"Our position is that we are open to, mitigating the dialogue and we are willing to carry it out at any moment and without obstruction." Zamora after the meeting with Betanecar
ZAMORA RULED OUT the possibility of a truce before the talks begin but said a cease-fire should be one of the subjects discussed.
"President Betancur has promised to help in this dialogue, which will be held the 15th of October in La Palma, El Salvador," Zamora said.
At a news conference in Mexico City, another rebel leader, Salvador Samayoa, said, "Politically we risk nothing, we only risk the security of our delegation."
In a speech Monday to the United Nations General Assembly, Duarte proposed the rebels meet him in La Palma, a town 40 miles north of San Salvador in rebel-controlled Chalatenango province, to discuss ending the five-year civil war.
IN WASHINGTON, STATE Department spokesman Alan Romberg said. "It is clear that President Duarte has made a far-reaching and courageous proposal. I think the seriousness of his proposal is self-evident."
to La Palma, with journalists and representatives of the Catholic church present.
Duarte told the U.N. that he would go alone
The rebels' Radio Venceremos, in announcing the guerrillas' acceptance of Duarte's proposals, asked that Bentactur act as mediator and that no troops from either side be allowed within six miles of La Palma to avoid "armed incidents."
