Brazil prison inmates start revolt
Associated Press
SAO PAULO, Brazil — About
3,500 prison inmates rebelled
Wednesday evening, taking hos
tages, setting fires and occupying
four wings of the facility, guards
said.
Plainclothes guards carrying iron
bars patrolled the perimeter of the
run-down Central Prison, backed up
by riot policemen with dogs and hel-
meted state troopers with machine
guns.
Some of the guards, who would
not give their names, said about
3,500 of the prison’s 6,200 inmates
were participating in the rebellion
and had taken over four of the
building's nine wings.
The guards, interviewed outside
the prison walls, said “four or five”
guards were being held hostage in
side.
One guard was taken out, with
blood on his head, and driven to a
hospital. Sao Paulo state Justice De
partment spokesman Silvio Mon-
teiro said there Were no reports of
any deaths.
Smoke rose from the roof of the
prison. Sgt. Jose Nunes, a state po
lice spokesman, said it was from mat
tresses set on fire by the prisoners.
Two fire trucks were outside the
prison walls.
The prison, located in a lower
middle-class part of this city of 9 mil
lion, has been the scene of frequent
violence. Prisoners often have com
plained of overcrowding, bad food
and cell conditions and rough treat
ment by guards.

WASHINGTON — The Senate endorsed the MX
missile for the second day in a row Wednesday, but a
narrow anti-MX vote by a House committee signaled
another lengthy, battle next week over future financing
for the weapon.
The House Appropriations Committee voted 28-26
to recommend against spending another $1.5 billion
for 21 MXs, and Democratic Speaker Thomas P. O’N
eill Jr. predicted there would be an extremely close vote
on the House floor next week.
“It’s a hard fight,” O’Neill said. “It’s a vote of con
science. We still think we have an excellent chance of
winning.”
Later, the Senate voted 55-45 to approve an appro
priations measure for the missile, the same margin as in
Tuesday’s MX vote.
Under an agreement established last fall, two votes
are required in both houses of Congress, oneonanau-
thorization bill and the second on a spending bill.
The two House votes are scheduled for T uesday and
Thursday of next week.

Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President
Reagan tapped U.S. Trade Rep
resentative William E. Brock on
Wednesday to take over the Labor
Department and immediately in
structed the new secretary to begin
repairing the administration’s tat
tered relations with labor organiza
tions.
Brock, described by associates ear
lier as not being interested in the job,
called it “a challenge that is impossi
ble to resist.”
ing, "The AFL-CIO welcomes the
nomination of Bill Brock to be secre
tary of labor. We have worked with
him in many areas over the years.
While we have not always agreed, he
has earned our respect. We look for
ward to a new and constructive
relationship with the Labor Depart
ment.”
Extending a quick olive branch,
Brock called Lane Kirkland, presi
dent of the 13.7 million-member
AFL-CIO, to tip him off that Reagan
was about to announce his nomi
nation as secretary. Brock called
Kirkland “an old friend” that he
could “work very comfortably with.”
Brock, 54, a Republican moderate
who served in Congress and as chair
man of the national Republican
Party, will succeed Raymond Dono
van, who resigned last Friday after
being ordered to stand trial on 137
counts of grand larceny and fraud.
The president said Brock's ma
tasks would be “rebuilding and
maintaining the ties with labor,orp
nized and unorganized, attacking
the serious endemic problem of
youth unemployment, in particular
minority youth."
Among major labor groups, onli
the Teamsters supported Reagan in
the 1980 and 1984 campaigns.
