\.FL-CIO snubs Reagan
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The AFL-
p has not extended the tradi-
rial invitation to the president of
s United States to address its
:nnial convention, because of
esident Reagan’s handling of
e air traffic controllers strike.
The convention of the 15-
jllion-member labor federation
scheduled for Nov. 15 through
at the Sheraton Centre Hotel in
EW York City.
Due to the nearness of the con
vention and continuing labor an
ger toward the president, it is un
likely Reagan or any other admi
nistration speaker will be invited,
including Labor Secretary
Raymond Donovan or special
labor liaison Robert Bonitati.
A source said AFL-CIO Presi
dent Lane Kirkland, who has
sharply criticized Reagan’s hand
ling of the strike and firing of
11,500 striking controllers,
brought the matter of an invitation
to Reagan up at a September
meeting of the 35-member execu
tive council, and it was rejected
because of the situation.
President Carter was the last
president to address an AFL-CIO
convention. He appeared at the
1979 convention in Washington
during which Kirkland took over
the federation’s reins from George
Meany.
Reagan did speak on March 30
to a legislative conference of the
federation’s Building and Con
struction Trades Department in
Washington, but was shot leaving
the hotel. He also addressed a
convention of the Carpenters Un
ion in Chicago this summer.
Hardesty said the federation
has invited former Democratic
Vice President Walter Mondale
and Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-
Mass., to speak at this year’s con
vention, and both are expected to
appear. In addition, it has invited
Polish union leader Lech Walesa
to appear at the New York con
clave.
Couple has rattling adventure
Snakes spoil slumber party
United Press International
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Jean-
je Moore’s boyfriend thought it
is. an adventure, but she found it
etty frightening to be acciden-
ly locked overnight in the Col-
libus Zoo’s Reptile House.
And Moore said Monday she
iuld have found it a lot more
ghtening if she’d known that
some of the cobras have escaped in
the past.
The Reptile House holds one of
the most poisonous collections in
the world, zoo director Jack Han
na said.
The collection includes 25 rat
tlesnakes, five alligators, eight
cobras and a 16-foot anaconda.

fing, 25, both of Columbus, had
spent a casual Sunday strolling
through the zoo.
But at the end of the day a
security guard accidentally locked
them in the Reptile House and the
couple spent most of the night on
the floor outside the curator’s
office because it was the warmest
place in the building.
They were released from the
Reptile House at 7:30 a.m. Mon
day after they caught the attention
of the zoo’s security force by bang
ing on the doors of the building.
“At first it was pretty creepy,”
Moore said. “It took me about an
hour to get comfortable.
“We felt pretty safe while we
were there,” she said. “I didn’t
know until today (Monday) that
some of those snakes had gotten
loose a couple of years ago. I’m
glad I didn’t know that last night. ”
Two cobras escaped from the
Reptile House about four years
ago, Hanna said.

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals rejected the position of
Charles Sanders of San Francisco
that the cocaine found in his leg
should not have been used against
him because the removal of the
artificial limb was illegal.
The ruling gave little vveightto
undisputed evidence that a feder
al agent at Kennedy Airport told
the suspect: “The leg is comingoff
either the hard way or the easy
way; it’s up to you.”
Sanders was stopped in New
York last December after a flight
from Caracas, Venezuela, whena
computer check listed him as a
suspect.
