MX money
approved
WASHINGTON — The hotly
debated MX missile program met
another challenge Tuesday as the
House voted 217-208 to approve
$2.1 billion to produce the first 21
of the intercontinental nuclear
weapons.
After an hour-long debate in
which MX advocates said the
Reagan administration has made
sincere efforts in arms control
while opponents remained deeply
skeptical, members defeated an
amendment by Rep. Joseph Ad
dabbo, D-N.Y., to strip the pro
duction money from a $247 billion
defense spending bill.
The vote was the closest call that
the program has had this year in
the House. Members had approv
ed production by a 13-vote margin
in a military authorization bill in
July and had freed impounded
money for the project by 53 votes
in April.
Court to rule
on abortion
SALEM — The Oregon Supreme
Court was asked Tuesday to strike
down a state regulation limiting
welfare payments for abortions as
unconstitutional.
"Abortion is the only medical
procedure singled out for restric
tions" in state's welfare medical
aid program, Ruth Cundle, a
lawyer for the Portland-based
Oregon Legal Services Corp., told
the Supreme Court.
But lawyers for the state argued
that it's up to legislators and not
the courts to make such financial
decisions.
In an Oregon Court of Appeals
ruling earlier this year, the lower
court held that the state Adult and
Family Services Division rule
violates an equal protection
clause in the Oregon
Constitution.
The regulation forbids any
welfare recipient from receiving
more than two state-paid abor
tions unless the woman's life is
endangered. The rule also says
women drawing welfare aid who
are 18 or older are eligible for only
one state-paid elective abortion.
In its decision, the Court of Ap
peals said that because the state
has no such restrictions on paying
medical expenses of pregnant
women not seeking abortions, the
rule violates a constitutional ban
against laws giving one class of
citizens "privileges or im
munities" not given to other
people.
The state adopted the rule to
save money after Congress cut off
federal funds for welfare abor
tions except for those in which a
woman's life is threatened.
Six killed
in ship fire
WASHINGTON — Six Navy men
were killed and 35 injured today
when flames raced through an
engine room aboard the aircraft
carrier Ranger in the Arabian Sea,
Navy sources said.
The fire broke out in one of four
main engine rooms and an adjoin
ing area deep in the conventional
ly powered ship, sources said.
The fire was put out within an
hour and the 79,000-ton ship con
tinued to operate in the ap
proaches to the Persian Gulf, said
officials who spoke on the condi
tion that their names not be used.
Navy officials could not say
what caused the fire. It will be in
vestigated by a Navy board.
Meanwhile, the ship will be able
to continue on station and will be
able to launch and recover it's air
craft, according to Navy officials.
Officials said most of the in
jured suffered from smoke inhala
tion and were not in serious
condition.
Ranger arrived in the Arabian
Sea Oct. 3 after a voyage from
Central America where the ship
had taken part in "show-the-flag"
exercises off the coast of
Nicaragua.
House calls
for pullout
WASHINGTON — The House
called on Pres. Ronald Reagan
Tuesday to withdraw troops from
Grenada within 60 days as provid
ed in the war powers act which
Congress passed during the Viet
nam era to prevent lengthy,
undeclared wars.
The vote was 403-23. All five
Oregon delegates voted with the
majority.
The measure now goes to the
Senate, where a spokesman for
the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee said it is expected to be
acted upon quickly.
The Senate passed an identical
resolution last Friday as an amend
ment to a bill extending the na
tional debt limit so that the
government could borrow more
money.
But on Monday, senators
defeated the debt limit measure.
However, the measure could be
reconsidered and passed with or
without a war powers provision.
Reagan regards the 1973 War
Powers Act as an encroachment
on his constitutional powers as
commander-in-chief, but it is not
certain whether he would veto or
sign the bill if it reached his desk.

last week a decision would be
made depending on the situation
at the time.
The war powers act requires
that the president withdraw
troops within 60 days. That
timetable could be extended to 90
days if the president says the extra
time is needed to withdraw troops
safely. Congress could also
authorize a longer stay.
Joint efforts
detect pot
SALEM — State and local law en
forcement authorities around
Oregon have seized more than
twice the amount of marijuana
that was confiscated last year, an
Oregon State Police spokesman
says.
Figures provided by police
agencies in all 36 counties show
that more than 44,800 marijuana
plants had been seized as of Mon
day, compared with 21,300 plants
at this time last year, said Lt. James
Forney.
The value of the confiscated pot
is estimated at more than $90
million, Forney said.
A State Police spokesman said
the large haul of pot stems from
stepped-up law enforcement ef
forts and increased help from
citizens.
“We've been getting a lot more
telephone calls from people when
they find marijuana," he said.
Marines hunt
for resisters
BRIDGETOWN, Barbados —
Hundreds of Marines stormed an
island near Grenada Tuesday in a
fruitless hunt for resisters.
The Pentagon said the Marines
found only a few local residents
on the Grenadine island of Car
riacou, 20 miles north of Grenada,
and withdrew later in the day. Last
week ham radio operators in the
Caribbean said Cuban and Grena
dian holdouts had fled to Car
riacou to escape the invading
Americans.
In the Grenadian capital of St.
George's, work crews pressed the
search for people killed when U.S.
warplanes bombed a mental
hospital last week, killing as many
as 20 patients. The United States
has said the bombing was
accidental.
It was one of several accidents
reported in the Grenada invasion.
Wounded army troops brought to
Walter Reed Medical Center in
Washington have said 19 com
rades were wounded because a
U.S. plane inadvertently bombed
their position instead of an enemy
target.
