House approves finance bill for U.S.government, contra aid
WASHINGTON — The House approved a stopgap bill yesterday to finance the government through mid-December, after postponing an expected showdown on aid to the Nicaraguan contrasts until the Reagan administration makes a new request.
The short-term spending measure's provision of $3.2 million in continued non-lethal aid to the contras was acceptable to Nicaragua's government, said House
Spain to end defense agreement with U.S
Speaker Jim Wright, DTexas. Wright said the measure would not upset the Central American peace process planned to start taking effect yesterday.
House Republican Leader Robert Michel of Illinois said, "there's going to be plenty of time for fireworks and hassling" when a longer-term catchall spending measure reaches the floor during the week of Nov. 16.
MADRID, Spain — Spain told the United States yesterday it will not renew a defense accord that has allowed U.S. troops and military facilities on Spanish soil for 34 years, Foreign Ministry sources said.
The notification came shortly after the start of the seventh round
of talks on eliminating part of the U.S. military presence in Spain, said the sources, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Spanish negotiators said they gave the U.S. delegation a six-month notice of their intent to not renew the agreement.

Ginsburg admits using drugs
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Supreme Curtin nominee Douglas H. Gurshtburg admitted yesterday that he used marijuana once in the 1960s and on a few occasions in the 1970s and said, "It was a mistake and I regret it."
President Reagan and Attorney General Edwin Meese III immediately pledged their continued support for Ginsburg, but Senate Minority Leader Bob Dole issued a statement that neither supported nor opposed his appointment.
While many Republicans responded cautiously, Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said, "You like to think people who are appointed to the Supreme Court respect the law."
The development plunged the 41-year-old Ginsburg into fresh con
troversy that has the potential to derail or at least complicate his confirmation to the Supreme Court. Reagan's previous attempt to fill the seat of retired Justice Lewis Powell Jr. ended in defeat when Robert H. Bork, Ginsburg's appeals court colleague, was rejected. 58-42.
Senate Democrats reacted with caution. Senate Majority Leader Robert C. Byrd, D-W Vir., had no immediate comment, and Judiciary Committee Chairman Joseph R. Biden, J.D.-Del., could not be reached for reaction on Ginsburg's confession that he had used illegal drugs.
The Senate Judiciary Committee is preparing to hold hearings on the

nomination next month.
Ginsburg issued his statement after National Public Radio asked for comment on its interviews which indicated he had used marijuana while teaching at Harvard Law School and, had, at least one occasion, brought the substance to a gathering.
Ginsburg's statement read in its entirety:
"He on occasion brought the marijuana," reported NPR's Nina Totenberg
"Earlier today, I was asked whether I had ever used drugs. To the best of my recollection, once as a college student in the '60s, and then on a few occasions in the '70s, I used marijuana.
"That was the only drug I ever used. I have not used it since. It was a mistake, and I regret it."
Weinberger officially retires
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Reagan hailed retiring Defense Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger, the driving force behind a massive military buildup, as a friend who "never let me down" and named Frank Carlucci, national security adviser, yesterday to succeed him.
Completing a major turnover in the national security leadership, Reagan also promoted Army Lt. Gen. Colin Powell, the No.2 man on the National Security Council staff, to succeed Carliuse. Powell had been hand-picked by Carliuse as his second in command last January to help rebuild the NSC after its reputation
After keeping Weinberger's planned resignation secret for several weeks, the president announced the changes at a Rose Garden ceremony attended by Pentagon officials, members of the NSC staff, the Cabinet and Congress. News of the turnover leaked on Monday night but had not been officially confirmed.

Weinberger will stay on the job until Carlucci is confirmed by the Senate. No major opposition is expected, and Sen. John Warner, R-Va., ranking Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said he thought "the Senate will confirm Mr. Carlucci very shortly."
Dow rises 40 points; old hours to return
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Falling interest rates rallied stocks and boosted the Dow Jones average by 40 points yesterday, but fear that the Reagan administration has abandoned the dollar hurtled the weakened currency to record lows.
The Wall Street rally came despite a stock slump abroad and Washington's inaction on trimming the budget deficit.
"The tension has eased. You've got a lot more people trying to be level-headed," said Richard Wholey, an analyst at the Chicago investment firm of Wayne Hummer & Co. "We're not allowing declines in the dollar and foreign stock markets to dictate which direction we're going to head."
The key Dow Jones industrial average of 30 blue-chip stocks, which lost nearly 70 points in the previous two sessions and remains shaky from its 508-point loss Oct. 19, rose in trade to trading close at 1, 895.41, up 40.12.
The value of all U.S. stocks rose by $46.6 billion, according to the Wilshire Associates 5,000 Equity Index.
Other broad market barometers also rose, and gaining stocks outnumbered buyers by about 3-to-1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where nearly 226 million shares were traded despite curtailed business hours.

The fall football season is here again and many of you Wichitans will be making the journey north to the University of Kansas for the games.
While you're in Lawrence, you should try the cuisine of the Royal Peking Restaurant at 711 W. 23rd.
For $5 a person the chef will prepare “The President’s Dinner” — the one served in Peking to Richard Nixon on his breakthrough journey to China. Individual dishes on the card run from 40 cents for the egg drop soup to $15 for Peking Duck. Most are in the $3 to $4 range.
The Chinese proprietor — we've been told the family came to Lawrence from Taiwan — offers family dinners for two, for three, for tour and for five or more.
On recent family occasions we've enjoyed both the dinners for three and for four.
The latter we began with the won
ton soup, which was brought to table only moments after we'd ordered and our tea had been poured. We had egg rods with the soup as a side dish. The Royal Peking provided two for the dollar with both a hot mustard sauce and a slightly sweet clear sauce. The roll covers are thin and crisply done but retain delicate flavor while the crisp and finely chopped vegetables in the roll only hint of being cooked.
We hardly had finished soup and roll when the main dishes arrived; the fried rice, beef (julienne) in a subtly-prepared oyster sauce, bite-size pieces of chicken prepared with mushrooms and vegetables including bamboo shoots, the Royal Peking shrimp, small to medium in size with the rich orange sauce and a sweet and sour pork.
While tastes are difficult to describe to others, it may be enough to say that each of these dishes is a savory tasting experience in itself.
On the latest visit to the restaurant (which is almost hidden in the shopping center on 23rd street next to Maupinparti) we ordered the dinner for three, beginning with hot and sour soup — very hot — and egg rolls and preceding with fried rice and three main dishes: mongolian beef, chicken with green pepper (pepper which was precisely touched by heat of cooking but without being either cooked or raw) and a sweet and sour shrimp. These were much like dishes in the other dinner but with some subtle differences. The net result of both evenings was a dining experience with a variety of tasting experiences and considerable gustatory satisfaction.
The Royal Peking decor is modest with wall hangings and lamps to suggest its Oriental character ...nothing to overpower the pleasure of dining.
