Ortega wore a conservative gray suit instead of his usual outfit for public appearances — combat fatigues. He then disputed President Rea- An overflow crowd filled the main meeting room at OAS headquarters. In the standing-room-only crowd were all six members of the Contra leadership; they listened intently as Ortega spoke. Afterward, one of the Contra leaders, Adolfo Calero, called Ortega’s speech “lengthy, bor ing and without real substance.” Ortega’s call for a direct dialogue with the United States was rejected immediately by the U.S. ambassador to the OAS, Richard McCormack, who said Reagan had laid out strict conditions for reopening diplomatic contacts with the Sandinistas. Ortega said that although Nicara gua has taken a number of steps to meet its commitments under the re gional peace agreement he signed last August, the United States has undercut the accord by sending weapons and other equipment on 140 resupply flights to the country's Contra rebels since then. Responding to Reagan’s charge, Ortega said that on two key elements of the peace plan — a total amnesty for political prisoners and a lifting of the state of emergency — Nicaragua would comply only when an interna tional observer team verifies that outside support for the Contra re bels has ceased.

Itfn Senator: Negotiators are close to creating framework for budget WASHINGTON (AP) — White House and congressional negotia tors, working on a federal holiday, are “on the threshold” of creating a framework for cutting the budget deficit, a Republican participant said Wednesday. The negotiators worked against a self-imposed deadline of Friday for coming up with a package of tax in creases and spending cuts that would reduce the deficit by at least $23 billion, meet the requirements of the Gramm-Rudman law and signal ajittery world economy that the U.S. government could control its fi nances. After meeting for more than five hours in hopes of reaching an agreement, Sen. Pete V. Domenici, R-N.M., ranking GOP member of the Senate Budget Committee, asked if they had finished, re sponded: “No, but we’re getting as close as can be.” But House Ways and Means Com mittee Chairman Dan Rostenkowski, D-Ill., said, ‘We were closer at noon than at the end of the day, mainly because we began to get specific.” Other participants agreed that the negotiations ran into some snags. White House officials conferred frequently outside the negotiating room in the Capitol, but most de clined to comment on the talks. On their 13th day of talks, participants said they had narrowed their differ ences on broad totals but many of the details remained unsettled. The goal is to reduce the deficit by more than $23 billion, as required by the Gramm-Rudman budget-balanc ing law. That statute calls for action by Nov. 20 to avert automatic spend ing cuts. Painting sells at new record of $53 million NEW YORK (AP) — Vincent van Gogh’s “Irises,” the famous depiction of a flower garden at an asylum the painter entered shortly before he committed sui cide, sold Wednesday for a re cord $53.9 million. The identity of the buyer, who bid by telephone, was not imme diately disclosed. The previous record for a painting was set by another van Gogh masterpiece, “Sunflowers," which sold for $39.9 million ear lier this year to a Japanese insur ance company. “The whole world is looking very closely at the sale of this painting,” John L. Marion, chair man of Sotheby’s North America, where the “Irises” auction was held, had said earlier. “Spine see it as an indicator of what the art market is doing.” Study: Large number of children consume too much cholesterol CHICAGO (AP) — Almost two- thirds of white children and three- quarters of black children consumed too much cholesterol in their diets, suggesting they may be at risk for heart disease later, a study says. “The basis of the racial difference in cholesterol intake may be due to the type of milk introduced during infancy,” the study’s authors wrote in a supplement to the November is sue of Pediatrics, journal of the sub urban Chicago-based American Aca demy of Pediatrics. children studied and 76 percent of the blacks had cholesterol intakes that exceeded the 300 milligrams- per-day recommendation of the American Heart Association. The researchers said the racial difference in cholesterol intake may diminish as consumption of milk de creases. Without a change in eating habits, the children likely would become high risks for developing heart dis ease later, said Dr. Gerald Berenson, head of the university medical school’s cardiology section. Researchers say medicine can prevent heart disease White children generally drank more cow’s milk than blacks, most of whom at 6 months and 1 year of age consumed a milk-based formula, the researchers found. Early identification of people at risk for heart disease may eventually lead to a better approach to preven tion, the authors wrote. “Diet has been recognized as an important environmental determin ant of cardiovascular disease risk,” they wrote. “Consequently, altera tion of eating habits in early child hood may delay or prevent cardio vascular disease development.” The findings stem from an on going study of 440 infants from birth through age 7 in Bogalusa, La., a biracial community outside New Orleans. Dietary patterns were examined in a smaller sample of children aged 6 months, with follow-ups at age 1 and at yearly intervals up to age 4. By age 2, most of the children studied were exceeding the recom mended daily intake of cholesterol, a fatty substance found in certain foods and believed to be a factor in the development of heart disease. Sixty-two percent of the white BOSTON (AP) — A medicine that raises the body’s supply of so- called “good cholesterol” prevents heart disease in people who are al ready at high risk of this leading killer, research concludes. The medicine, called gemfibrozil, seems to work in large part by in creasing levels of high-density lipo protein, or HDL, the substance that gathers up cholesterol and carries it away to be destroyed. The benefits of raising HDL have been less certain than those of lower ing low-density lipoprotein, LDL, the material that delivers clogging deposits of cholesterol throughout the arteries. A study conducted in Finland found that gemfibrozil markedly in creases HDL while also reducing LDL. When tested on men with dan gerously high cholesterol levels, it reduced their heart disease rate by a third over a five-year period. “I feel this is a hallmark study,” said researcher Dr. Jussi K. Huttu- nen. “It demonstrates that we can re duce the incidence of coronary heart disease with this drug when it raises HDT and lowers I DT ” Dr. Donald Small of Boston Uni versity School of Medicine agreed that the study produced a significant finding. He said it appears the risk of heart disease declines 4 percent for each 1 percent increase in HDL. Even though men taking the drug had less heart trouble, their overall death rate was just as high, largely because they were more likely to suf fer violent or accidental deaths. Ex- f ierts were at a loss to explain this inding, although some said they thought it was a statistical fluke. The study was published in Thursday’s New England Journal of Medicine. Huttunen, director gen eral of the National Public Health Institute of Finland, said the re searchers will present more evidence on the role of HDL in producing less heart disease at a meeting next week of the American Heart Association. “Those results strongly suggest that the increase in high-density li poprotein cholesterol is as impor tant, or perhaps even more impor tant, than the reduction in LDL cholesterol,” Huttunen said in an in- B Editor: of a two- A&M Oi Amedee, cure neec rages of r Q: What that need A: If we think we Big liner big linem to come c in the th we have s not playi to help u sition 48 that will that we r of our r year, I t going to running very fine (Darren) I think w fullback, will fill th BO!
