News Briefs Philly presses to run as 46-day strike ends
PHILADELPHIA — Striking employees at the Philadelphia Inquirer and Daily News ratified a new four-year contract yesterday, ending a walkout that shut down the city's two main newspapers for 46 days.
Heart patient better
Philadelphia Newspapers Inc. said it planned to have both papers, with a combined daily circulation of about 900,000, back on the streets today.
HERSHEY, Pa. — Artificial heart recipient Anthony Mandia suffered a second setback yesterday, but recovered quickly and expressed disappointment that a natural heart from a donor failed before it could replace his plastic blood pump.
Mandia drifted in and out of consciousness for several hours without talking, then started to rebound, asking his brother to "get me something to eat."
Daylight bill passes
WASHINGTON — The House, ignoring a protest that it was tinkering with "God's time," yesterday passed a bill expanding daylight-saving time by four weeks beginning next year.
The bill moves the start of daylight-saving time from the last Sunday in April to the first Sunday in April. It also changes the ending time from the last Sunday in October to the first Sunday in November.
Hiring laws debated
WASHINGTON — Attorney General Edwin Meese argued before other Cabinet members yesterday for an end to affirmative action requirements used for the last 20 years to fight job discrimination by federal contractors.
During a meeting of the Domestic Policy Council, administration officials said Meese pressed for a new executive order to overturn the requirements for federal contractors.
One Cabinet member said the session produced no decisions.

Chrysler, UAW come to terms
DETROIT -- Negotiators for Chrysler Corp. and the United Auto Workers tentatively agreed on a new contract early this morning, ending a weeklong strike by 70,000 American workers.
United Press International
The three-year agreement, which now goes to the 170 members of the UAW's Chrysler Council for approval, was forged in a marathon 42-hour war that saw the company hire a firmman Lee Jaccoca may have played peekerman.
The strike began at 12:01 a.m. 16, and cost Chrysler about $60 million in lost sales, company officials estimate. The walkout was the first against Chrysler in the United States since 1973.
In announcing the agreement, UAW President
Owen Bieber and Marc Steep, director of the union's Chrysler department, said in a statement, "We are extremely proud that the determination and solidarity of our members at Chrysler resulted in a tentative contract that achieved every one of our goals."
The marathon negotiation session began at 9 a.m. Monday. It was surpassed in length only by the 45 hours bargaints spent in 1967 settling a contract for Ford with the UAW.
A news blackout was imposed on the talks at noon yesterday when Bieber and Stepp said they were making "important steps in the right direction."
Iacocca spent hours near the negotiators during the marathon. Details of his role in settling
But Iacocca played a key role in helping UAW-Canada agree to a 23-month contract Sunday. That agreement gave the 10,400 Canadian workers wage parity and a lump-sum payment for concessions when Chrysler approached bankruptcy in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Bieber and Stepp said the tentative contract for the American workers contained the same provisions established at GM and Ford last year.
the strike weren't immediately revealed
They said it also included significant cash payments for active and retired members "in recognition of the contributions of workers who saved Chrysler from bankruptcy and returned the corporation to health."
Likud says peace offer went too far
From Kansan wires
JERUSALEM - Political opponents of Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres charged yesterday that Peres' proposal for direct peace talks with Jordan threatened the stability of Israel's fragile coalition government
Peres said he called for negotiations with Jordan because Israel must regain the initiative in the search for peace.
Jordan rejected Peres' call and said it would not make a separate deal with Israel, a government source told the Jordan Times.
Perez, speaking in New York on Monday during the 40th anniversary week of the United Nations, urged King Hussein of Jordan to begin talks Israel by January, ending the 37-year state of war between the two countries.
In his speech, Peres said negotiations should deal with setting West Bank boundaries between the two countries.
Deputy Prime Minister David Levy and Trade Minister Ariel Sharon, both from the right-wing Likud Party that joined Peres' Labor Party last year in forming Israel's "national unity" government, said Peres violated the guidelines for the government by talking about such boundaries.
The guidelines were set up when the 1984 elections between Labor and Likud ended in a tie.
AIDS research money approved
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The Senate yesterday approved a massive $105 billion spending bill for the government's main social programs and the largest amount of money ever appropriated for AIDS research.
Voting 83-15, the Senate approved an appropriations bill for fiscal year 1986 for federal labor, health and education programs. It includes $221 million for research on acquired immune deficiency syndrome, more than double the amount of money now being spent to fight the deadly disease.
The House has approved a different version of the bill and the two chambers must work out a com-
The money for AIDS research is earmarked to develop and test drugs to fight the AIDS virus, expand basic research and treat AIDS patients. Money is available for a toll-free AIDS hotline operated by the national Center for Disease Control in Atlanta.
"If we're serious about coming to grips with a $2 trillion deficit, these are the kinds of cuts we're going to have to make." Proxmie said.
Earlier, the Senate defeated a proposal by Sen. William Proxmire, D-Wis., to cut discretionary social programs — a savings of $1.65 billion.

Money for family planning programs will be considered separately and abortion foes will have a chance to obtain the necessary language to the appropriations bill.
The $105 billion bill — $5 billion more than requested by the administration — provides money for all programs for the departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and related agencies.
The bill includes $16 million to set up model treatment programs in four areas of the country with the highest concentration of AIDS victims, which have yet to be picked, and $2 million for the AIDS hotline.
2 typhoons hit Vietnam; 600 may be dead
United Press International
BANGKOK, Thailand — Back-to-back typhoons "ravaged" villages and unleashed flooding that forced large-scale evacuations in central Vietnam, official news agency said. One of the storms may have killed at least 690 people.
The two storms hit within days of each other, with Typhoon Cecil moving into the area late last week and Typhoon Dot striking Monday.
The radio, monitored in Bangkok, Thailand, did not give any official death or casualty toll from the storms. But unofficial reports reaching Bangkok said Cecil killed at least 600 people.
No specific damage estimate was available but the radio indicated losses from the one-two punch of typhoons — storms known as hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean — were serious.
Trees and electricity poles were downed and houses collapsed in the storms, knocking out power in many areas. The radio said repairmen were working "day and night" to restore power.
"Five villages were completely ravaged by the fire," the radio said. "The storm hit by the storms was 'dotted with fires.'"
ProvinCIAL people's committees were ordered to harvest rice crops before they were destroyed by fire.
The central Vietnamese city of Hue, 325 miles south of Hanoi, was particularly hard-hit. Radio Hanoi said workers using bulldozers and chainsaws were clearing roads so relief forces could get through to rescue people.
The military "used amphibious trucks to carry materials, foodstuffs and medicines through deeply flooded villages" in three districts, the radio report said.
The radio said plans for large-scale evacuations were promptly carried out" when Dot hit the central coast wave.
"Many old persons and children and their property were moved to safe places" to escape the flooding, the raiders
WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberg accused the Soviet Union yesterday of "an unquestionable violation" of the SALT II arms control treaty by deploying a new, mobile intercontinental missile called the SS-25.
Both Pentagon and State Department officials said deployment of the SS-25 was no surprise, and Weinberger's disclosure of the latest Soviet move appeared to be another step in the superpower maneuvering in Ukraine. It also marked a meeting of President Reagan and Kremlin leader Mikhail Gorbachev.
The summit is expected to be dominated by discussion of efforts to quell the nuclear arms race, and Weinberger coupled his SS-25 complaint with the observation, "Recent history shows that arms control has hardly been a raving success."
Rep. Vic Fazio, D-Calif., accused Weinberger of contributing to a presummit atmosphere "in which this country is not responding to Soviet gestures and, in fact, is going the opposite direction, trashing the concept of arms control with increasing frequency."
He said the administration remained committed to "making arms control produce stability, reduction, equality and verification. To acknowledge we haven't achieved those in past arms control agreements is, perhaps, to introduce a greater level of commitment."
Weinberger referred to deployment of the SS-23 during a stunck defense of Reagan's "Star Wars" anti-missile research program, which Moscow has cited as a key stumbling block to a new arms pact.
The secretary said the Soviets had displayed "a stunning degree of hypocrisy" in assailing the U.S. Strategic Defense Initiative because of their "own vigorous strategic defense programs."
U. S. officials say deployment of the SS-25 violates the 1979 SALT II pact because the treaty allows each side to develop only one new intercontinental ballistic missile and the Sovieties have built two.
