From Associated Press reports
Marines at
highest alert
BEIRUT — U.S. Marines were
ordered into sand-bagged
bunkers Tuesday and told to
"shoot to kill" anyone ap
proaching their camp after three
trucks that officials feared might
be filled with explosives drove
nearby.
"There have been three vehicles
spotted driving around the area.
There are suspicions that they
could contain explosives," said
Marine Capt. Wayne Jones. Of
ficials gave no further information
about the trucks, but the Marines
remained on alert throughout the
day.
The Pentagon said the death toll
from Sunday's terrorist bombing
of a U.S. Marine command post
rose to 214 as six more bodies
were recovered and one man died
of injuries in a military hospital in
West Germany.
The suicide strike was carried
out by a man driving a truck pack
ed with a ton of explosives. It was
the bloodiest attack against the
U.S. military since Vietnam.
About 300 Marine troops arrived
at the camp to replace their fallen
comrades and the Marine com
mandant, Gen. Paul Kelley, arriv
ed to inspect the jagged concrete
wreckage of the Marine
building. Kelley said he thought
security at the base was "very ade
quate" and that it would have
been difficult to prevent the
attack.
Land veto
overridden
WASHINGTON - Congress
voted Tuesday to override a
presidential veto of legislation giv
ing 3.1 acres of federally owned
land to Oregon families who
believed they owned it for
decades.The tract is located about
30 miles southeast of Eugene near
Dorena Lake in Culp Creek.
The action marked the third
time Congress has voided a veto
by Pres. Ronald Reagan.
"They bought the property, they
paid for it, they paid taxes on it,
and now the government wants to
take it away from them," said
Democratic Rep. Jim Weaver, who
r
represents the district that in
cludes the disputed tract.
Based on a private but er
roneous survey, the land, original
ly settled under the Homestead
Act, was sold off by the owner.
Parcels of the 3.1-acre tract along
with nongovernment land are
now owned by six elderly familcs
and the telephone company. A
railroad company also has a right
of-way on a portion.
"It may not seem like a major
issue — it is not in the light of
other issues before us," said Sen.
Mark Hatfield R-Ore., the chair
man of the Appropriations Com
mittee. "But it is very important to
some individuals and it's a matter
of principle to the people of our
state."
"This move represents the affir
mation of a principle, a principle
that the federal government can
be equitable, just and caring in its
actions," Hatfield said.
The legislation, first proposed
more than 20 years ago, was pro
mpted by a 1941 private survey of
the area that erroneously included
land owned by the Interior
Department's Bureau of Land
Management.
Reagan cuts
commission
WASHINGTON — Pres. Ronald
Reagan fired half the Civil Rights
Commission to make room for his
own team of conservatives Tues
day in a move that effectively puts
the gadfly agency out of business
at least temporarily.
Outraged civil rights groups
said the three ousted members,
appointed by two previous
presidents, were guilty only of
criticizing the administration's
record.
A bipartisan effort was launched
in the Senate to reconstitute the
commission as an independent
arm of Congress and House
Democrats unanimously approv
ed a statement ‘’strongly” disap
proving of Reagan's action, which
it said was taken "without cause."
In one stroke last May, Reagan
proposed three nominees to
replace members held over from
the Carter and Ford administra
tions. The holdovers are Mary
Berry, Blandina Ramirez and Mur
ray Saltzman.
In a statement Tuesday, the
White House said those three jobs
now are terminated.
In firing the holdovers, Reagan
called on the Senate to confirm
his appointees: Morris Abram,
John Bunzel and Robert Destro.
They all share Reagan's belief that
quota systems and mandatory
busing are inappropriate ways to
end racial discrimination.
The firing leaves the commis
sion without its required quorum
of four, meaning it cannot even
meet until at least one more
member is confirmed by the
Senate.
Reaction to Reagan's move was
swift.
“We are appalled by the abrupt
firing of three dedicated servants
of civil rights," said )ohn Jacob,
president of the National Urban
League. “The administration's
move is an insult to the civil rights
community and to the Congress
which has been searching for
ways to preserve an effective Civil
Rights Commission."
Negotiations have been under
way in the Senate toward a com
promise that would expand the
commission, allowing the current
members to remain on the job
and some of Reagan's nominees
to be sworn in.
The commission, created in
1957, is an advisory body that in
vestigates discrimination. It has
no enforcement powers. It sub
mits reports to the president and
Congress and, over the years,
many of its recommendations
have become law.
LA newsman
wounded
LOS ANGELES — Jerry Dunphy,
a 20-year veteran newsman and
anchor of the highest rated
newscast in Los Angeles, remain
ed hospitalized Tuesday with gun
shot wounds from unknown
assailants in an apparent random
attack, authorities said.
Police said they believed Dun
phy was the victim of a "drive-by
shooting" Monday night at an in
tersection near the ABC television
complex in Hollywood.
Dunphy, 62, was driving his
dark blue Rolls-Royce convertible.
His passenger, makeup artist San
dra Marshall, 36, was shot once in
the right arm and was hospitalized
in stable condition at Hollywood
Presbyterian Medical Center.
Dunphy, reported in satisfactory
condition with bullet wounds to
the neck and arm, has been an an
chorman at KABC since 1976.
