Five arrested in Ireland for supplying arms to IRA
DUBLIN, Ireland — Five residents of the Republic of Ireland, arrested on charges of running arms to the outlawed Irish Republican Army, were taken before an emergency session of Ireland's antiterrorist court last night.
The men were charged with possessing seven tons of guns and explosives found Saturday on the trawler Marita Anne off Ireland's southwest coast.
They were remanded without bail into police custody pending further court action Oct. 23 and were driven 50 miles south of Dublin to the top-security Portloise prison, where about 150 suspected members of the IRA already are being held.
Train kills man in female garb
OLMSTED, NY — A young man dressed in women's clothing and tied to railroad tracks was killed by a freight train Friday night. Police believe it could have stemmed from a fraternity prank, but college officials dismayed it yesterday.
Olmsted Township Police Chief Richard Masielle told reporters that the fraternity prank theory stemmed from the way the victim was dressed. The man was wearing a turtleneck sweater, a long skirt and a bra stuffed with socks and pantyhose.
Olmsted is near the Baldwin-Wallace College campus in Berea.
Bov stung to death by wasps
APOPKA, Fla. — A 7-year-old boy was killed by a huge swamp of yellow jacket wasses that stung him more than a year ago. The man died in the tulip-colle, tuller's lab, officials said yesterday.
Mike Markham died Saturday from the poison of about 1,200 stings suffered after he disturbed a ground nest of yellow jackets while walking his dog the day before. The dog's leash became tangled in a tree, trapping the screaming boy and his dog in a swarm of the stinging wasps, rescue workers said.
Neighbors who heard the screams pulled the boy away and drove the insects off with the sunrise of a garden hose.
The dog died from the stings Friday night.

U.S. to get short budget reprieve
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — Much of the U.S. government ran out of money yesterday, but a two-day infusion of cash was in the works to ease the problem until Congress can act.
The Senate failed Saturday to work itself out of a deepening procedural hole, but sent to the House a temporary measure to provide breathing room until midnight tomorrow. That will give the Senate extra time to wilt its will and return to work on a catchall spending hill.
The Senate passed the two-day spending bill when it became clear no progress was being made other than a vote to limit debate on a civil rights measure Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass, and others want to attach to the larger spending bill.
to see what develops on Capitol Hill before taking steps to close down their departments.
Federal employees were told to go to work
The lack of money to run the government is becoming almost a ritual in Washington. Several times in past years Congress has hired agencies to manage various agencies in time, and steps have been taken to close all but emergency operations until the crisis passed.
The catchall-spending bill covers departments for which a regular 1983 appropriations bill has not been enacted — the Departments of Agriculture, Labor, Education, Health Services, Defense, Interior and Transportation — and several agencies and the Treasury.
Approval by the House of the extra two days of spending authority — at fiscal 1984 levels — is no guarantee the problem will not crop up again Wednesday morning.

The Senate's dilemma - prompted by
Senate Republican leader Howard Baker, after several hours of negotiations with the warring factions, gave up and recessed the Senate until noon today, giving the principals the weekend to negotiate.
Kennedy's measure, overwhelmingly passed by the House in June, would overturn a Feb. 28 Supreme Court ruling. The ruling said that Title Nine, a federal law mandating equal treatment and facilities for men and women with disabilities, federal funds, did not apply to all programs at an institution, but only to the particular program getting the federal money.
Union says labor board is anti-labor
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — The president of the largest labor group in the AFL-CIO said yesterday his union would avoid the National Labor Relations Board because President Reagan had reduced it to "little more than a management tool."
William Wynn, president of the 1.3 million member United Food and Commercial Workers, said his union's legal department studied the decisions the board has made since Reagan appointees took control and found "a systematic and almost total bias on the part of the Reagan board against employees and their unions."
The NLRB is a government agency that mediates disputes between labor and management. Its members are appointed by the president. The Teamsters union, which has endorsed Reagan for re-election, has waged bitter battle to oust board Chairman Donald Dotson.
Wynn said his union's study showed that "the NRB has been reduced to little more than a management tool, whose chief function is to delay, deny and destroy the right of employees to freely and fairly organize and win union representation."
He said that the NLRB under Reagan had overturned or ignored major decisions made during the administrations of Republican presidents Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, as well as those made under Democratic administrations;
While the Reagan appointees on the NLRB have said that they were simply trying to correct a pro-labor bias in labor law, Wynn said that they were making "a sweeping reversal, a perversion of the basic labor law of this nation."
Because of the board's heavy tilt toward business, Wyman said, "Our union has decided to avoid it as much as possible. We'd rather fight it out in the open — on economic terms."
— Where at least we have a righting chance. Wmn issued a 28-page account of decisions the board has made since Reagan's three appointees — Dotson, Robert Hunter and Patricia Diaz Dennis — became the majority. He said the changes they have made "will have for many years a dramatic impact on labor law."
The union cited several examples of the sweeping nature of the board's recent decisions, such employee rights. Employees who protest hazardous working conditions, file for workers' compensation or seek back wages due that no longer are protected by the National Labor Relations Act.
