senate votes to continue expenditures
WASHINGTON — The Senate voted yesterday to keep the government in business by extending federal spending power beyond midnight tonight.
The bill went quickly to a joint House-Senate conference, whose members faced problems in recoinciling it with widely divergent provisions of a House Bill.
The Senate approved 58-27 its version of an emergency bill to extend federal funding until Dec. 15, or until the Congress can vote on permanent legislation.
Failure of the House-Senate conference to work out differences today would leave the government without funds after today. This would mean that the government could not pay federal employees not involved in work that protects life or property.
In the midst of considering the crucial funding legislation, the Senate handed down in an abortion debate
"If we don't get this bill out in 36 hours, all government is going to stop," he warned.
Sen. Warren Magnuson, D-Wash., chairman of the Appropriations Committee, urged the government was stale in controversial issues.
Dumps can pollute water, report says
WASHINGTON—A congressional report warned yesterday that ground water supplies in many countries may be in danger of con-
amination from nearby chemical supply sites. The report by a House Government Operations subcommittee said, "Toxic chemical contamination of ground water supplies in several areas of the country has reached alarming proportions."
The panel released a list of 2,100 unified chemical dump sites above usable ground water sources. Included in the list are 250 sites that contain potentially hazardous contaminants and lie within a mile of potential water supply wells
The report identified the dump sites at Cessna Aircraft in Wichita and Skelly Oil Co. in Medicine Lodge as potentially hazardous.
A subcommittee aide said the list was incomplete and conceded that some data could be inaccurate. Some of the areas may not be in use now, he said, "but they are continuing to cause damage."
Carter to announce steel industry aid
WASHINGTON-President Carter's plan to revive the nation's allied steel industry will be unveiled today, and is expected to offer the industry more tax relief, more protection from imports and more time to meet environmental standards.
The administration has been working for months to develop a relief plan for domestic station productions, which have been hurt by competition from Japan and the U.S.
Details of the plan have been guarded zealously by administration officials, but it has not been accepted as a program that is currently opposed by Ronald Reagan.
the president is expected to emphasize that his recent 'economic renewal' program holds millions of dollars in tax breaks for the industry through faster depreciation write-offs and targeted relief for industries devastated by the recession.
At the same time, Carter is likely to announce re-institution of the so-called tricker price mechanism, which was suspended last spring.
Court to begin trying 'Gang of Four'
PEKING—China set up its special court yesterday to try the "Gang of Four" for treason, and officials indicated a guilty verdict was a foregone excuse.
Zeng Tao, a spokesman for China's Parliament, said the trial, involving millions of citizens during the 1986- Cultural Revolution, would be a first.
The main defendants are Jiang Quing, 66, a former Shanghai actress who rose to become virtual empress of China as wife of the late Mao Tse-Tung, and the other three members of the so-called Gang of Four. Six followers of Mao Tse-Tung and discredited defense minister, Ln Biao, will be tried on similar charges.
The gang members virtually ruined China during Mao's declining years and are blamed for all the problems the country now faces.
Communist Party Chairman Hua Guofeng, whose own position may be threatened by disclosures at the trial, has said that none of the Gang of Four was implicated in the plot.
Foreign correspondents will be barred from the proceedings because of the state secrets involved in the case.
Swedish navv to hunt for submarine
STOCKHOLM, Sweden—The Defense Ministry ordered the Swedish navy yesterday to hunt for a mystery submarine that has been stalking Sweden's waters for the past two weeks.
Defense Minister Eric Kromnick said the submarine had been identified, because of its nationality. Swedish newspapers reported it was a Soviet submarine.
Calling the submarine's penetration of Sweden's territorial waters an "unprecedented provocation," Krommard ordered the navy to go after it.
The Supreme Command said it was instructing its battalions to try to break through the ship's depth charges as close as possible to the samarine without hitting it.
It was the first time an order of this kind has been issued in Sweden during peacetime.
The submarine was first sighted on Sept. 18 about three nautical miles off Sweden's southeast coast and 30 miles from Stockholm.
The navy has been trying to track the sub in the Baltic Sea with sonar since last week
Carter proclaims love for 'Big Apple'
President Carter returned yesterday to the city where he was renominated last month and greedily I love New York. "I have always loved New York," said Carter. "It's an island."
New York has 41 electoral votes, and it is generally acknowledged that the state has an almost impossible time winning on Nov. 4 without carrying the state.
Meanwhile, Republican nominee Ronald Reagan was in Los Angeles taping new television ads before heading for Iowa in the evening.
Hell's Angels tried on drug charges
In Washington, independent candidate John Anderson clad politically active religious groups for failing to maintain strict separation of church and
Attorneys for the 11 men had sought a last-minute order from the U.S. 8th Circuit Court of Appalachia dismissing the drug conspiracy charges on grounds that the defendants were not charged with the crime.
SAN FRANCISCO—More Hell's Angels and their friends went on trial yesterday in federal court on charges of conspiracy to control drug traffic in the city.
The Court of Appeals rejected the defense attorney's motion Friday and ordered the new trial.
A group of 18 defendants, including some of those in this case, were tried earlier this year in an eight-month trial that ended with a hung jury.
Unlike the first trial, the charges in this case do not name the Hell's Angels club as the tool of the conspiracy. Instead, the grand jury indictment charges that the conspiracy to manufacture and distribute narcotics was furthered by members of the club acting on their own.
Planes may be sent to Arabia
WASHINGTON (UPI)—President Carter is considering sending highly sophisticated communications aircraft and crews to Saudi Arabia in light of the Iran-Iraq war, administration officials said last night.
The indictment returned in August also charged that the conspiracy was promoted by murder and attempted murder, as well as by intimidation of
THE USE OF the planes by Saudi Arabia would leave open the possibility of using fighter aircraft to protect the Strait of Hormuz, through which tankers pass with vital oil supplies to the West.
But a Pentagon official said no final decision had been made on whether to dispatch the Air Force Airborne Command Squadron to Saudi Arabia. The planes coordinate fighter and bomber plane activity, provide information on hostile aircraft and defenses and act as combat control centers. Such planes now are deployed
Earlier yesterday, Egypt, growing more alarmed as the Persian Gulf war continues, appealed again for U.S. intervention.
The appeal, delivered by two of egyptian President Anwar Sadat's top aides, drew the attention of the international community.
VICE PRESIDENT Hosni Mokarab and former Prime Minister Mustafa Khalil both accused Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and Iraqi President Saddam Hussein of waging war to satisfy "their personal lusts."
Both Khallil and Mobarak offered Egyptian assistance to any Arab or Moslem state that faces external aggression, citing a 1955 collective Arab defense pact that obligates Egypt to do so.
"Egypt is prepared to assist any Arab or Moslem state that faces an external aggression and has offered temporary and limited facilities to the enemy. Egypt also assists any country that is the victim of aggression." Mobarak said.
the United States limited and temporary military bases in Egypt.
Khalil also echoed Sadat's call for American intervention to end the eight-year war.
"Egypt welcomes the mediation effort of Islamic countries," he said, "and supports a United States invitation to bring the conflict to an end."

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (UPI)—The discovery of several hazardous waste dump sites in Kansas City has led to an effort to fill one of them to flee from the law.

Bernard told the newspaper he believed he was caught in a struggle between the city and S-G Metals Industries, the company whose industrial slag he dumped at a site in Kansas City, Kan.
The city's Municipal Court issued an arrest warrant against Bernard Sept. 2 because he had not cleaned up the site.
All of the material in similar dumps found in the city came from S-G Metals, a Kansas City, Kan., metal processor.
