Ed

Hs of a little under $300 mil-

Jtment support to the cities

’ es ' BOn the environmental front,
rcccn:Colorado Springs, Colo. Mayor
ma P Bob Isaac said he is concerned
tee rail
d
revisions in the Clean Air Act on
carbon monoxide automobile
exhaust levels might create pol
lution problems for his high alti
tude city.
Port Arthur Mayor Bernis
Sadler said he thought the Clean
Water Act standards would have
to be reduced because money
isn’t available to carry out the
federally subsidized construc
tion of sewage treatment plants.
“The Clean Water Act is fun
damentally sound as it stands
without the need for extensive
revision at this time,” said EPA
Administrator Anne Gorsuch, a
speaker at the conference.
She said her agency will file its
final legislative recommenda
tions on the Clean Water Act
and be reviewed by congress
soon.
Gorsuch has endorsed a new
bi-partisan House bill that
would amend the Clean Air Act.
But environmental groups have
denounced the measure as a sell
out to polluting industries.
Edwards told the mayors the
administration remains commit
ted to the decontrol of natural

“Under accelerated deregula

be less than it would under pre

Under the current congres

WASHINGTON —- Majority
Leader Howard Baker post
poned the Senate expulsion trial
of Sen. Harrison Williams, D-
N.J., until Feb. 23. Williams was
convicted in the Abscam
scandal.
The delay was forced after
Williams underwent a hernia
operation in New York Tues
day. The senator’s aides said the
operation was ordered by his
doctors after he slipped on the
ice and fell last Sunday.
The Senate trial had been set
to start Thursday. In announc
ing the new date, Baker said:
“I’m advised he should be avail
able then.”
Williams was convicted last
May of bribery, conspiracy and
other charges in an influence
peddling scheme involving a
titanium mine.
FBI investigators secretly
taped his meetings with a feder
al agent posing as an Arab sheik.
Last month, a federal judge
upheld William’s conviction,
and Williams plans an appeal.
The Senate will consider
whether Williams should be ex
pelled for ethics violations.

■O’Neill expressed disgruntle-

^ Hi” rather than President
Reagan, but said “we will take
Ifie initiative ourselves” and ex
pedite the legislation.
1 O’Neill said the unemploy
ment funds of some states would
be exhausted during February.
He said he would meet with
Appropriations Committee
Chairman Jamie Whitten, D-
Miss., to work out a legislative
schedule for a supplemental
appropriations bill. He said he
hoped for House floor action
next week.
March 31.
This would come on top of an
extra $2.3 billion provided in
December to states that had ex
hausted their unemployment
funds, and it is likely that more
will be needed after March 31 in

and “She was walking home from
[iSiuf her next-door neighbor’s after
a rra( playing with some friends,” said
Pat
Kelly, a hospital spokes
woman. “These two dogs came
up and started pulling at her.
They pulled her coat off of her
and evidently started attacking
her.
“Her father is a scout leader,
and he had told her if she was
ever attacked by a bear to roll
into a ball and play like she was
dead. She just rolled up and co
vered up her head and played
dead and the dogs left.”
