Senate approves 3 Reagan nominees
WASHINGTON—Alexander Haig as Secretary of State, Terrell Bell as Education Secretary and Jeanne Kirkpatrick as U.N. ambassador will meet with the president of Russia.
Hearings also were held on the nomination of William French Smith as attorney general.
Undisclosed new charges leveled at Donovan by telephone calls the committee said might be cranks must be investigated, according to Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, chairman of the Labor and Human Resources Committee.
But new charges delayed a vote on Raymond Donovan to head the Labor Department, and Republican planers lost hope that all of Ronald Reagan's top-level officials could be confirmed in the Senate a few hours after Reagan's inauguration Tuesday.
And Assistant Senate Republican Leader Ted Stevens said Halg's confirmation vote in theSenate would be postponed at least one day because the five-day length of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearings means the paperwork could not be completed in time for a Tuesday vote. He blamed the delay on Democrats who, he said, unnecessarily prolonged the hearings to try to get Watergate back on the nation's front pages.
In Senate Judiciary Committee hearings yesterday, Smith said his membership in two exclusive all-male clubs should not be viewed as evidence of discrimination and he was committed to "vigorous enforcement" of civil rights laws.

Insulation workers resumed work yesterday, Hall said, but some workers had not returned to the job because they were working as far away as Georgia.
"Our work has become more difficult because other contractors have not left open areas to apply the insulation." After touring Watson yesterday.

Wood would not disclose details of the contract, but said both sides had a firm agreement.
Hall said his company operations at Watson should be back to normal by Monday.
