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. Moore, 24, and Peter B.

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. Battalion Classified 845-2611 GET YOUR BIG SCHOOL FULL OF YOUR FAVORITE DRINK!

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.
