Tentative contract deal may end AT&T walkout
WASHINGTON – American Telephone & Telegraph Co. and the striking Communications Workers of America agreed on a tentative national contract that would allow the company to its bitter three-week walkout could end this weekend.
Despite the tentative deal, however, the strike will continue while bargaining continues in New Jersey on essentially "local" issues involving AT&T's six corporate divisions.
Morton Bahr, CWA President said, "At a time when workers in other industries have been forced to accept contractual givebacks, this tentative contract is significant in that it requires no concessions of CWA members."
AT&T & TWS wager offer remains the same as before the strike — an 8 percent increase over three years. The company would pay an additional 2 percent in the first year, 3 percent in the second and 3 percent in the third.
Excedrin maker requests recall
AUBURN, Wash. — Bristol-Myers, the maker of Extra-Strength Excedrin capsules, asked stores nationwide to stop selling the product yesterday. Authorities here confirmed the presence of cyanide in capsules found in the home of a woman who died of cyanide poisoning.
A relative found Sue Snow, 40, a bank manager, collared in her home June 11. She died later that day at a
There were 56 capsules left inside a 60-capsule Excedrin bottle found near where Snow collapsed, said Christopher Rezendes, assistant director of investigations for the Seattle office of the Food and Drug Administration.
Several of the remaining capsules contained significant amounts of cvianne. Rezesed said.
All Extra-Strength Excedrin capsules were pulled from about 50 stores in the Auburn area south of Seattle after Mayor Bob Roegner declared a public emergency Monday.
Shuttle engineer cites confusion
WASHINGTON — The Morton Thiolok engineer who objected to launching Challenger in record cold weather said yesterday that the NASA document that set temperatures for shuttle booster rockets was "lousy" and failed to clearly say in what weather orbiters could fly.
Allan McDonald said he and Thiolok officials interpreted the NASA document as saying the minimum flight temperature for the solid fueled boosters was 40 degrees. NASA has said it was 31 degrees.
It was 36 degrees when Challenger was launched Jan. 28, Charles Locke, Thiokl's chairman and chief executive officer, said yesterday the booster rocket captured in flight may have been as cold as 10 degrees.
"I think the specification for this motor is a loous one," McDonald told the House Science and Law Committee. The second week of a congressional probe into the decisions that set the stage for the fatal shuttle explosion.
Singer Kate Smith dies at age 79
RALEIGH, N.C. — Singer Kate Smith, whose stirring rendition of "God bless America" made her a patriotic heroine who inspired $600 million in World
War II bond sales, died yesterday at the age of 79. Smith died of respiratory arrest in the Raleigh Community Hospital shortly after she was brought to the emergency room, hospital spokesman Michael Lessey said.
War II bond sales, died yesterday at the age of 79.
President Reagan, who co-starred with Smith in the 1945 movie "This Is The Army," said yesterday that "all America loved her and she loved America."
Smith, who had been in poor health recently, underwent two major operations this year. She had surgery for breast cancer and doctors amputated her right leg because of circulatory complications from diabetes.
Israel denies U.S. spy operation
WASHINGTON — Israel Justice Minister Yitzhak Modal denied yesterday that his nation conducted operations in the United States beyond "a one-time involvement in an American civilian Navy analyst."
After Jonathan Jay Pollard's guilty plea to selling secrets to Israel, U.S. officials, declining to be named publicly, said Israeli espionage in the United States are more extensive than Israel has acknowledged.
But Modai denied those allegations.
"Not only are they lies, they are completely un-founded," he said.
Pollard, 31, a civilian counter-terrorist analyst for the Navy, confessed to selling secrets to Israel from 1984 to his arrest last November. His wife, Anne Gillibray, was also killed in the attack of unauthorized possession of classified documents.
Two investors get special tax cut
WASHINGTON — The Senate yesterday voted special tax cuts of $1 million each for two wealthy investors who own a mine in Colorado as the first state to pass a passage of an overhaul federal income tax system.
"This is such a far-out amendment, such a special-privilege amendment, that it should be withdrawn," Metzenbaum said. But Sen. William Armstrong, R-Cole., who convinced colleagues on the Finance Committee to insert the tax break into the bill, called the dispute a fundamental question of justice.
By a vote of 68-31, the Senate rejected an amendment by Sen. Howard Metzenbaum, D-Ohio, that would have eliminated the provision from the tax bill. The only beneficiaries of the amendment, Metzenbaum said, are two partners in Cimarron Coal Co. He said their names were not available.
Sen. Bob Packwood, R-Ore., chief author of the bill, and Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole voted for the special tax break.
Reagan meets leader of Uruguay
WASHINGTON — President Reagan praised President Julio Maria Sanguenetti yesterday for the return of democracy in Uruguay and, in a warning to his critics, called the days of dictatorships – right or left – are numbered.
Sanguinetti, whose November 1984 election marked the end of twelve years of military rule, was welcomed to the White House with full honors as a symbol of and an expression of unprecedented expansion of democracy in the Americas.
