Md beat Contra aid wins approval WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate voted Thursday to approve $38 million in non-weapons logistical aid to anti-Sandinista rebels and to repeal a strict prohibition against U.S. support for military action inside Nicaragua. The vote was 55 to 42. President Ronald Reagan praised the Senate action as "a display of bipartisan concern for the people of Central America and our own national security." The aid amendment would provide $14 million this year and $24 million next year, resuming direct U.S. assistance to rebels fighting to overthrow Nicaragua's leftist government. The Nicaraguan Embassy, in a statement from its press office, called the Senate action “an escalation of U.S. involvement and a major step down the road to interjection of U.S. combat troops," The statement said the aid would “prolong bloodshed in Nicaragua and is one more obstacle to an early, peaceful resolution of the conflict." The Democratic-controlled House, which has led opposition to OA aid to the guerrilla forces in Nicaragua known as contras, is expected to vote on a similar proposal next week. Reagan, in a statement released by the White House, said the Senate amendment would "provide support for the freedom fighters whq are struggling for liberty and democracy in Nicaragua. The Senate has seen that their struggle is ours — that they need and deserve the help of the American people." He urged the House "to join with the Senate in sending a signal to both the Sandinistas and,to the struggling Nicaraguan democratic opposi tion: The only, resolution to the tragedy in Nicaragua is the same course which the Congress “ has supported In El Salvador — that of democracy, reconciliation and Hj»rty," ■ ■ V Body believed to be Nazi Israel finishes withdrawal EMBU. Brazil (AP) — Police exhumed a body in this quiet town Thursday that they believe is Dr. Josef Mengele. the sadistic Auschwitz “Ajjgel of Death" who became the symbol of Nazi evil. Romeo Tuma, a federal police chief, said he was "90 percent convinced” that a man who died in 1979. and was buried as an Austrian, was the doctor whose bizarre and cruel medical “ex periments” on Jewish prisoners made a shocking page even in Adolf Hitler’s book of horrors. Leading Nazi hunters were skeptical. Jose Antonio de Mello. assistant director of the Sao Paulo morgue, said it would be difficult to determine whether the disar rayed bones were those of the man who sent hundreds of thousands of people to gas chambers.
