publish the comic strip "Doonesbury" this week because of possible libel and questions about the strip's fairness to former Reagan administration officials.

Cereals found salty
HOSTON - Popular breakfast cereals such as Cheerios and Wheaties may be low in sugar but are higher in salt than a bowl of potato chips, a doctor said yesterday.
Steven W. Lager, a family physician in Old Lyme, Penn., outlined his concern in a letter to The New England Journal of Medicine
Lager examined the sodium content of several popular cereals after reading an ad for Cheerios that said the cereal was recommended by pediatricians. Sodium is a component of salt.
Too much salt may lead to high blood pressure.

WASHINGTON — House Republicans voted yesterday against aid to the contra rebels in Nicaragua in a surprise maneuver to strip the aid from a spending bill and buy time for President Reagan.

GOPs vote down contra aid to buy time
House GOP Leader Robert Michel of Illinois sprang the onset on Speaker Thomas O'Neill, D-Mass., in an effort to bring up the $100 million aid request independent of the $1.7 billion appropriation bill that Reagan has threatened to veto.

The Republicans' vote would deny all aid, at least for pow.
"I think the president deserves better treatment than we are giving him today by this damn charade," Michel said to cheering Republicans and hooting Democrats.
Republicans and摩根士丹利
"This procedure under which we are forced to debate is a variation of the old con game — heads I win, tails you lose."
That process was the package approved by the Democratic majority Rules Committee last week. It coupled the contra aid request to a catch-all spending bill that Reagan said "so brimming with waste and excess that aid to the freedom fighters may never see the light of day."
"When you have a rotten rule to play by, we're forced to be somewhat unconventional in our approach to the process." Michel said.
"The president continues to believe that this is an urgent measure vital to our national security and calls on the House to act as soon as possible," he said.
White House spokesman Larry Speaks said Reagan fully understood the action taken by the GOP leadership and hoped the House would act without having to overcome further obstacles.
possible, he said.
Republicans said that Democrats were trying to blackmail Reagan by forcing him to accept a spending bill Reagan having many programs he opposed in exchange for sending military and other aid to the contrais.
"Only when the president decided that he wanted to demagogue against the supplemental appropriations bill did they start their anguished cries about incarred bars of pork and all that stuff, which they don't really believe." Wright said.
House Democrat Leader Jim Wright of Texas rejected the idea.
Micheel acted when the House voted on a proposal by Rep. Lee Hamilton, D-Ind., to deny all aid to the contras — a proposal backed by O'Neill which he had expected to lose.
But Republicans in droves voted with the Democrats in a 361-66 decision for Hamilton's amendment.
The Democratic leadership then decided to halt further work on the bill and O'Neill said a clean bill, with no provisions for contra aid, would be taken up next week.
In the meantime, Republicans must seek 218 signatures — a majority of the House — to bring the aid proposal up as a separate measure. "But give us — we Republicans and the
president — a clean shot at what we're proprove-ing." Michel said.
"Just give us — we Republicans and the
ing, but he failed to initial $100 million request failed on March 20. O'Neill said the House would reconsider it as part of legislation that had to be promptly considered.
That was the supplemental, but as its size swelled, Reagan's opposition grew.
This proposal would give the contras $30 million in strictly nonlietal aid and require direct talks between Managua and Washington if the Sandinistas declared a cease-fire with the contras.
Wright said the Republicans had seized upon a clever but perhaps cynical ploy to avoid a vote on a proposal by Rep. Dave Curdy, D-Okla.
Rep. Tom Foley, D-Wash., the assistant Democratic leader, said the GOP leaders "took a count and found out they did not have the votes to prevent the adoption of the McCurdy amendment."

Jackson attacks CBS hiring practices
United Press International
PHILADELPHI — The Rev. Jesse Jackson, who is organizing a boycott on a local CBS-owned television station, said yesterday that the network discriminated against blacks in its hiring practices.
Jackson told black ministers and business leaders at a breakfast that it was a shame that several of the country's largest cities had slumplains in the same cities had no blacks in top decision-making positions.
Jackson was slated to meet with
CBS stockholders at WCAU-TV and was then expected to make an announcement concerning the boycott.
A boycott was declared by Operation PUSH in October against WBBM-TV, the CBS affiliate in Chicago. The demonstration was organized after the station demoted black news anchorman Harry Potterfield, who later jumped to the city's ABC affiliate.

"CBS does not have any blacks at

women was founded by Jackson. He added, however, that the situation at CBS was no different than at any other network.
Richardson said the boycott in Chicago had a tremendous effect on the ratings of WBBM, despite claims by a WBBM spokesman that the station's fall from its No. 1 ranking was not related to the boycott.
Operation PUSH has asked WBBM to impose a 40 percent hiring quota for blacks and other minorities.
Marty Blair, spokesman for WCAU-TV in Philadelphia, denied allegations that the station
discriminated against blacks, saying 73 of its 287 employees, or 25.7 percent, and three of the station's top 12 executives were minorities.
"In terms of hiring practices, CBS has maintained a position of leadership," he said.
Blair said station officials had met regularly with members of the local chapter of Operation PUSH which provided WCAU with names of minority-owned companies so the station could conduct more business with them.
65 protesters suspended from school
United Press International
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — More than 65 students were arrested and suspended yesterday in the third straight day of demonstrations demanding Yale University to divest itself from doing business in South Africa.
More than 160 arrests have been made since Monday in the protests by students who vowed to push their demand that Yale take a strong stand against apartheid by dropping all admissions from Africa from its investment portfolio.
Those arrested challenged their interim academic suspensions and planned to rally with supporters at the rally to plan their next course of action.

The Yale Corporation, which serves as the university's board of trustees, has condemned apartheid, but has refused to revise its policies on investments of about $450 million in 98 companies doing business in South Africa.
Campus police began the latest arrests after about 80 protesters refused to move from in front of four doors. One woman and another about 80 people were arrested Tuesday.
New Haven police spokesman Sgt. James Sorrentino said that between 66 and 68 arrests were carried out by campus police.
