Senate Bill 1 to be reintroduced
WASHINGTON—After being stripped of most controversial
provisions, Senate Bill 1, a plan to modernize and simplify the
federal criminal code, will be introduced today in the Senate.
Sen. John L. McClellan, D-Ark., a conservative who has
labored on the project for 10 years, and Sen. Edward M. Ken
nedy, D-Mass., a leading liberal, are co-sponsoring the revised
legislation.
The compromise draft follows unsuccessful efforts in the last
Congress to modernize the federal code, efforts which were
supported by Senate leaders of both parties. Removal of some
controversial provisions brightens its prospects for passage.
Pesticides found in human milk
WASHINGTON — Detectable levels of three pesticide com
pounds were found in the milk of a majority of nursing mothers
tested by the Environmental Protection Agency. But health ex
perts say the low levels pose no immediate health hazard to either
mothers or their newborn children.
"However, the possible long term consequences of these
minute amounts are uncertain," the EPA said in a statement
accompanying the study released Sunday.
Cleaver gets faceful of pie
VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Eldndge Cleaver was hit
in the face with a pie Saturday night, thrown by a member of the
Anarchist party of Canada.

Party, was addressing a religious group about his conversion to
Christianity when he was smacked with the pie.

violent way of pointing out to people that Cleaver has betrayed the
radical movement which he helped spearhead in the 1960s.

world's holiday of the worker, was
celebrated Sunday with garden
parties in Peking and a huge
flower-bedecked parade in Mos

clashes between demonstrators
and police in Spain, France and
elsewhere
Riot police in several Spanish
cities used tear gas, rubber bullets
and clubs on those who defied a
ban on May Day demonstrations.
Scores were injured.
Some demonstrators in the
Madrid suburb of Vallecas fought
back with rocks as helmeted
police chased them, clubbing
anyone they caught Police said
50 persons, including two jour

"assassins'’ at police and "We
want union freedom."

remain until they were arrested or
until construction of the nuclear
power plant was halted.

strators had been processed.
Police moved out of a 40-acre
enclosed compound after the pro

While the arrests went on, other
demonstrators continued to sit in
small circles, although they were
free to leave.
Each time a bus left, taking
about 45 demonstrators off the
grounds, cheers went up from
those remaining at the campsite.
The demonstrators were taken
16 miles to the Portsmouth Ar
mory for processing and were re
leased in their own custody in
$100 bond for a hearing Thurs
day.
“We were treated very well ...
we even rapped with them,” said
one of the demonstrators who was
arrested, Paul Atkinson, 29, of
Kingston, N.Y.
