Congress stays in session;
bills get one more chance
WASHINGTON — Congress' delayed adjournment gives fresh hope for passage of immigration, trade and other bills, but a nagging Senate-House dispute over a major money measure again threatens a government shutdown.
Lawmakers had planned to end the second session of the 98th Congress last Friday but failed to when negotiations on a nearly $90 billion bill to keep the federal government financed through fiscal 1985 stalled in an acrimonious standoff.
An emergency money measure — the third “continuing resolution” in a week passed to buy time for compromise on the year-long bill — expires at midnight today, staggered from another stopcap bill will be passed to be passed to avoid a partial government shutdown.
S. African police diffuse riot
JOHANNESBURG. South Africa — Police fire rubber bullets yesterday dispersed crowds of youths who stoned women during a boycott by 150,000 student.
A spokesman for the Department of Education and Training said the students were boycoting classes to demand improved black education.
No injuries were reported in the disturbances.
Violent unrest in South Africa's black townships, the worst since 1976, has claimed the lives of 80 people in the last six weeks.
Items from liner auctioned off
United Press International
NORFOLK, Va. — Auctioneers began bargaining away a ship full of treasures yesterday in a stem-to-stem sale of items that once pampered the very rich who traveled aboard the SS United States luxury liner.
More than 700 bidders and curiosity seekers gathered in a warehouse at Norfolk International Terminals, 200 yards from the pier where the retired luxury liner awaits a $125 million transformation into a world-class pleasure ship
Gator files his way to freedom
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla — A 6-foot male alligator dived into his new pen at the Sawgrass Recreation Area and immediately jumped to the maximum bars with his ruth hide. It worked.
"He's trying to get out," shouted onlookers Sunday.
It took only minutes for the alligator, a former resident of the Miami Serpentarium, to file his way to freedom.
A search of the saw grass from airboats for the fugitive alligator was in vain, but reptile handlers said they would get him eventually.

Some GOP aides give Mondale edge
By United Press International
Although most Republican leaders are saying President Reagan won the debate, some of Reagan's aides and supporters yesterday gave Democrat Walter Mondale an edge in the initial wave of reaction to the first presidential campaign debate of 1984.
Sen. Paul Laxalt, R-Nev., general chairman of the Republican National Committee and one of Reagan's closest political friends, said the debate was "a draw or a wash," but acknowledged that Monday was more "effective" than Republicans had anticipated.
The head of the National Conservative Political Action Committee and staunch Reagan supporter, Terry Dolan, said he thought Doddade had won the debate.
Other Republicans reacted more predictably. Both White House spokesman Larry Speakes and Chief of Staff James Baker said Mondale failed to get the "knockout he needed."
Three small-sample public opinion surveys taken immediately after the debate showed Mondale as the winner, but gave no real clue whether he had gained in the presidential contest, which will be settled Nov. 6.
A Newsweek magazine survey had Mondele winning 34 percent to 35 percent; an ABC News poll gave Mondale a narrow 39
ELECTION '84
percent to 38 percent lead and a USA Today poll showed Mondale the winner 39 percent to 34 percent.
World reaction yesterday to the debate favored Mondale over Reagan with some news accounts describing it as duel between a confident Democratic challenger and a tense and sometimes tongue-tied incumbent.
The official Soviet news agency Tass used the debate to attack Reagan, saying he failed to justify the cutting of social programs in order to expand America's military might.
The British Broadcasting Corporation's Washington correspondent said Mondale won "on points" and Reagan, the so-called "Great Communicator," on occasion seemed at a loss for words.
Mondale and his vice presidential running mate Geraldine Ferraro marched 30 blocks in New York's Columbus Day parade up Fifth Avenue.
Vice President George Bush marched in the parade a few minutes before the Democratic team, but the applause was largely for his parade companion, popular actress Sophia Loren, who was the grand marshal.
Bush's wife, Barbara, took a swipe at Ferraro in a talk with reporters on the flight to New York.
Teased abut her family's expensive homes — the subject of a tax battle Bush is waging with the IRS, Mrs. Bush said she saw nothing wrong with living well and added that the government was "with" boy stuff who like that $4 million — it says it, but it rhyms with rich."
General set to battle CBS in libel case
By United Press International
NEW YORK — Jury selection is set to begin today in Gen. William Westmoreland's $120 million libel case against CBS, which, he says, falsely stated that he downplayed enemy troop strength in the Vietnam War.
The trial, which puts the 70-year-old retired general's reputation and CBS credibility on the line, will focus on the accuracy of a controversial 1982 documentary. "The Uncounted Enemy: A Vietnam Deception."
The documentary accused Westmoreland, who commanded all U.S. troops in Vietnam at the height of the war, of intentionally using chemical weapon strength in reports to President Johnson
WESTMORELAND DENIES any deception took place.
In 1982, Westmoreland filed the $120 million libel suit against the network, saying he had been held up to "scorn, contempt and ridicule" by the documentary.
CBS said the case should be dismissed because it was "totally without merit." The network said that, although some of its own guidelines were violated, the documentary was essentially true.
If CBS loses, it would be the first time a public official has successfully sued a news outlet for statements made about official performance — a precedent that libel experts say would prompt more suits and result in less investigative journalism.
Since Westmoreland is a public figure, he must persuade the jury that the statements CBS made about him not only were false and damaged his reputation, but were made with "actual malice;" or reckless disregard for the truth.
NAMED AS DEFENDANTS are CBS News correspondent Mike Wallace, who narrated the documentary, CBS producer George Adams and Samuel Adams, a consultant on the program.
Last Thursday, Westmoreland dropped charges against former CBS News President Van Gordon Sauter and withdrew one count of libel.
A jury will be selected in U.S. District Court in Manhattan from a pool of 100 potential jurors. The trial before U.S. District Judge Pierre Leval is expected to last three to four months.
Witnesses expected to testify include former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, who said in depositions that he never heard of any falsification of intelligence data about enemy forces during his tenure.
ALSO EXPECTED TO testify is Gains Hawkins, a retired Army colonel who appeared in the documentary.
