Reagan-Bush campaign to receive $40.4 million
WASHINGTON — The Reagan-Bush '84 Committee will receive $40.4 million in federal campaign funds for the general election, the maximum amount a presidential candidate can spend, the Federal Election Commission said yesterday.
With the help of a remarkable Republican Party fund-raising organization, the president was able to raise an average of $125,000. Each month, the equivalent of about $110,000 a day.
Although Reagan is philosophically opposed to the concept of federal matching funds, a spokesman said the campaign argued that he should take the money and the president acceded. Before yesterday's election, Reagan had received more than $10 million.
Sniper kills girl in Lebanon
BEIRUT, Lebanon — Snipers killed a girl in the northern Lebanese port of Tripoli yesterday and Muslim gunmen fueled tensions in Beirut by fighting in the streets and attacking an army post with band grenades.
Sniper fire also swept the mountains southeast of the capital and a car packed with explosives blew up in Israeli-occupied southern Lebanon, killing two men, the official National News Agency said.
The violence in the Muslim western half of Beirut came less than a day after Muslim militiamen clashed with army units in the center of the capital. It was the most serious breach of a Syrian-backed peace plan that has been in effect in the city since July 4.
VALHALLA, N.Y. — Former school headmistress NEY Harris, imprisoned for killing "Scarsdale Diet" Dr. Herman Tarnower, was in serious condition yesterday with a heart attack that her team claims is caused by "distress" over being confined

DAYTON, Ohio — A teen-ager who fell asleep on a railroad track and woke up unhurt after two 300,000-pound train engines passed over him said yesterday that "it's just a wild thing" he survived the incident unscathed.

"it was intending on just sitting down and resting a little bit. I had no idea a train was going to come." he said.
The sunken French freighter Mont Louis is partly visible after it sank following a collision Saturday with a British ferry. French authorities are preparing to recover a shipment of radioactive substances that sank with the ship. Thirty containers, or 225 tons, of hexafluoride, a highly toxic substance, were on board the ship bound for Riga in the Soviet Union.
Rescue of nuclear matter planned
By United Press International
PARIS — Owners of a French freighter that sank in the North Sea with a 225-ton cargo of radioactive uranium hexafluoride – which could explode if water reaches it – organized a risky operation yesterday to retrieve 30 sealed drums holding the toxic material.
Compiégne Generale Maritime's president Claude Abraham said the operation to salvage the cargo aboard the Mont Louis ship was completed "without detention" within the next two or three weeks.
He said divers would be sent down to break open a hole in the hull of the 5,800-ton freighter lying in 50 feet of water 12 miles off the Belgian coast. A Belgian and a Dutch ship will haul the cargo to the surface with cranes, he said.
THE MONT LOUIS sank Saturday after colliding in fog with a passenger laden ferry and took to the bottom the sealed drums of
uranium hexafluoride - a highly toxic, radioactive liquidified gas which if mixed with water could explode.
The material had been partially processed in France and was on its way to be enriched in the Soviet Union. It was to have been returned to Belgian and French companies, but not before the company agreed to Comhurex, the French firm that produced the uranium hexafluoride.
The Greenpeace environmental group, which first released reports the capsized vessel was carrying a radioactive cargo, said it was common practice for many Western nations, including the United States, to enrich yellow-cake uranium in the Soviet Union, because the cost there far cheaper than elsewhere.
IN WASHINGTON, AN Energy Department spokesman said sending such material to the Soviet Union for enrichment "would certainly not be a common practice" for a U.S. utility but did not deny that
companies had considered such deals.
French and Belgian authorities stressed that the cargo hold had not been damaged in the accident and there was no immediate risk or evidence of pollution.
"But it is preferable to begin salvage operations as soon as possible while the sea is calm," said Abraham. "We should begin Tuesday."
The salvage operation was described as "comprehensively" experts at the Compaq environment ministry.
They said the uranium hexafluoride was only about 3 percent radioactive, but if the substance mixes with water, it produces an acid that could trigger an explosion.
"It IS RADIOACTIVE, but the risk is chemical rather than radioactive, should the hydrofluoric acid come into contact with water," said Environment Minister Huguette Bouchardeau.
Two French navy ships and a Belgian vessel were in the area to ensure no ships approached the sunken ship.
Guards look for explorer with relics
By United Press International
ANKARA, Turkey — Turkey alerted border guards yesterday to stop an American explorer suspected of trying to take what he claims are relics of Noah's Ark out of the country.
Iwin said Steffins and Ron Wyatt snuck away with what they later claimed were wooden fragments of the ark after he led them across the lake, where were the vessel was believed to have landed.
Marvin Steffens was accused by former American astronaut James Irwin, leading a separate expedition to find the ancient ark, of illegally seizing the samples from MI.
Steffins is president of U.S. International Expeditions, one of three American groups that climbed 16,946 foot Mt. Ararat last week in a search for the ark.
"I HAD SHOWN Wyatt the specific area and apparently they left with the samples immediately after I went off to explore the northern side of the mountain near the peak." he said.
According to the Book of Genesis, the ark carrying Noah, his family and a male-female pair of all the world's creatures came to rest in the cave of Ararat" after a glube covered flood.
Local officials said Irwin had abandoned his own expedition to find the ark, and was returning to Ankara to report on Steffins' activities.
Steffins announced in Ankara Saturday that he had found the ark's final resting place on Mt. Ararat in eastern Turkey, 18 miles from the Soviet Union border.
He said he found "a boat-shaped figure covered with soil" and supported his claim with plastic bags of clay and two pieces of "soft wood."
HE SAID THE CLAY and wood would be analyzed at a laboratory in the United States and the results given to the Turkish government.
The Turkish Ministry of Culture ordered Steffins to surrender the samples Police sources said all border posts had been alerted to stop him from taking the material out of the country.
"We have the right to and will stop those samples from leaving Turkey," a Culture Ministry spokesman said.
tressor John Morris of the U.S. Institute for Creation and Research, the third group looking for the vessel, said Steffins' samples were "impossible to accept as evidence of the discovery of Noah's Ark."
