House rejects Reagan's bid for contra aid
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The House of Representatives yesterday rejected President Reagan's appeal for $100 million for the Nicaraguan nigade battling the Sandinista government, slapping aside his offer to hold back some military aid during a new bid for peace talks.
In a statement read by presidential spokesman Larry Speakes, Reagan said the 222-210 defeat must be reversed.

He vowed to shift his campaign today to the Senate in a bid to salvage the request, which called for $70 million in military assistance and $30 million in non-lethal aid.

Alan Cranston of California, the assistant Senate Democratic leader, forecast the House vote could spur anti-aid sentiment and reported votes had begun shifting within hours.
From an initial tally of 49 for, 40 against and 11 undecided on the initial $100 million package, Cranston said a second count showed 48-41 for the aid with 11 undecided.

Cranston's count showed 43 Republicans and five Democrats supporting Reagan, with 34 Democrats and seven Republicans opposing the aid. Among the undecided, he said five were leaning against.

"Art has never been very complicated for me," Herd said. "It's the only thing I've always been fairly good at.
"I've tried everything. I've thrown art at canvases, sculpted, painted impressionistic and expressionistic and tried to imitate Cezanne. But I guess I'm not willing to spend seven years trying to figure out what makes myself tick."
Artists who have grown up in rural Kansas communities appreciate Herd's love of nature and the people living in it. Robert Sudlow, professor of art and a landscape painter, had Herd in a class last year. Sudlow said he liked Herd's art because it reflected the local viewpoint.
"He has that kind of native naive honesty," Sudlow said. "Much of the Western art around Kansas I think is pretty hokey. But if the artist has an honest sense of place, goals along with technique, then this sort of art can be very meaningful."
Herd said, "I don't want to put it down because that's what I've been doing for a living. But many artists seem to think Western art is a joke."
Don Lambert, free-lance art writer and promoter, said, "If I heard that someone had used a landscape of cows and fences in it, I would have said, 'Gag!' But Stan paints in such a proud way, like he's saying, 'I can do it.'"
Except for magazine photos, Elizabeth Neis has never seen the sunflower etched in her field, since Herd's art can only be viewed from the air. She and her husband both are in their 60s and have lived in Eudora for 40 years.
Neis said that when she and her husband first heard what Herd had in mind for their field, they thought the idea was peculiar.
Lambert said, "I know that people in Kansas don't relate to surrealism at all. They want something that matches their carpet and fits over the fireplace."
the hardships of the farmers and wants to shed a different light on their lifestyles.
"What I don't appreciate is art that looks like blotches of color on a canvas or figures that don't look like anything," Neis said.
Neis said she'd always been fascinated with art that reflected the Kansas landscape.
