Manion nomination
in two-week limbo
By JAMES ROWLEY
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The
Senate voted 48-4 G yesterday to
confirm Daniel Manion for a fed
eral appeals court judgeship, but
the appointment was left in parlia-
mentary limbo until a second vote
after Congress’ two-week recess.
“Manion is not a judge today,”
opponent Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr.,
D-Del., told reporters after the
inconclusive vote on President
Reagan’s nominee to the 7th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals.
A vote to reconsider the appoint
ment was forced by'Manion’s op
ponents but further action was put
off until next month. The dramatic
roll-call vote was ap
parently preceded by
heavy last minute
White House lobbying.
Sen. Slade Gorton,
R-Wash., later con-
firmed in a statement
that he.voted for Man
ion after assurances
that the Justice De-
partment would clear
for presidential nomi-
nation a judicial candi
date he supports.
Vice President George Bush
rushed to the Senate chamber after
the roll-call began in case he was
needed to cast a tie-breaking vote.
Opponents, including deans of
some 40 law schools, have con
tended that Manion is professional
ly unqualified for the federal
bench.
With the vote 48-47 against Man
ion, Sen. Dan Quayle, R-Indiana,
Manion’s chief backer, persuaded
Sen. Nancy Kassebaum, R-Kan
sas, to withdraw her “No” vote to
forge a 47-47 tie.
Senate Minority Leader Robert
'Byrd, D-W.Va., then switched his
“No” vote to “Yes,” robbing Bush
of the chance to cast a tie-breaking
vote for Manion. By joining the 48-
46 majority, Byrd also enabled
himself under the Senate’s rules to
move to reconsider the vote.' Only
someone who voted with the ma
jority can make a motion to recon
sider.

Specter votes
'no' a 2nd time
By JEFF BARKER
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Sen.
Arlen Specter, R-Pa., again cast a
“No” vote against one of Presi
dent Reagan’s federal judge nomi
nees, becoming one of only four
Republicans to oppose the appoint
ment of conservative Daniel Man
ion yesterday.
Pennsylvania’s other Republi
can senator, John Heinz, voted for
Manion.
Manion’s
nomination caused an
unusually strong pro
test from civil liberty,
civil rights and public
interest groups as
well as from some
lawyers and law
school deans and fac
ulty members.
Opponents have at
tacked Manion on two
fronts, saying his le
gal ability is insuffi
cient for a position one
rung below the Su
preme Court and that his right
wing beliefs are so extreme that
he would not follow Supreme Court
directives he dislikes. Manion’s
father, Clarence, was a founder of
the ultraconservative John Birch
Society.
Specter also voted against Man
ion on May 8 in the Judiciary
Committee. But he voted the same
day to send the nomination to the
Senate floor without recommenda
tion, saying that all of his col
leagues deserved the chance to
consider the matter.
Daniel Manion
At the time, Specter said he
opposed Manion because “I be
lieve that the views he has ex
pressed on the authority,
integrity, and proper role of the
federal judiciary, .including the
Supreme Court, are incompatiblee
with service as a federal judge.”
Yesterday, Specter joined 42
Democrats and 3 other Republi
cans in voting against Manion.

Union officials said the govern
ment, giving no reasons, had freed a
dozen labor leaders detained without
charge under the state of emergency
proclaimed June 12. Dozens still are
held.
Businsess executives, and labor
leaders who went underground to
escape arrest, have said industrial
relations were being seriously dam
aged by the crackdown. Some work
ers have staged strikes to protest the
arrests.
A land mine exploded in a black
township near Pretoria, damaging a
truck but not injuring the black driv
er.
Louis Nel, deputy information min
ister, called the explosion and two
bombings that wounded 19 people in
Johannesburg earlier this week a
“callous attempt by the ANC to com
mit terror.”
Five, more Blacks were slain in the
24 hours ending at dawn yesterday,
two by, police firing at rioters and
three by other Blacks, the govern
ment reported. That raised the num-
ber of people killed since the
emergency declaration to 66.
According to the government’s Bu
reau for Information, the only source
of official reports under the emergen
cy, there were no strikes or other
black protests yesterday, the 31st
anniversary of the signing of the
Freedom Charter.
All major anti-apartheid groups,
including the ANC, approved the
charter on June 26, 1955, as a
blueprint for a non-racial South Afri
ca.
House panel votes
to strip funds, end
Civil Rights Comm.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) - The House Appro
priations Committee, in a protest of the way the
U.S. Commission on Civil Rights has operated
under Reagan administration leadership, voted
yesterday to eliminate all money for the agency
and shut it down.
The vote in the Democratic-controlled panel was
27-16, generally along party lines. If the full House
goes along with the decision, chances for approval
would be considered slim in the Republican-run
Senate.
President Reagan, who often has voiced support
for the commission’s conservative majority,
would be certain to oppose the plan.
Under the fund elimination proposal by Rep.
Julian C. Dixon, D-Calif., the commission’s $ll.B
million appropriation could only be used “to close
down the operations ... by Dec. 31,1986.”
Democrats said they disagreed with the com
mission’s turnaround since a conservative majori
ty took control in January 1984, but they also cited
other factors for the vote.
One was a General Accounting Office report that
said the agency mismanaged its personnel and
record-keeping. Another was the contention that
the commission produced little work and ignored
specific activities ordered by Congress.
But Commission Chairman Clarence M. Pendle
ton Jr. and Republicans on the committee coun
tered that the dispute was ideological, reflecting
disagreement with the philosophy of the commis
sion majority.
Pendleton, in his statements, and the commis
sion in its official votes have infuriated the
major civil rights groups.
There has been bitter opposition to race- and
sex-based quotas, goals and timetables;
statements against school busing; opposition to a
cutoff of funds to entire institutions that discrimi
nate; and Pendleton’s comment that equal pay for
jobs of equal status was the wackiest idea since the
“Looney Tunes” cartoons.

Grand jury indicts Shearson Lehman
PHILADELPHIA (AP) A federal grand jury yesterday
indicted Shearson Lehman Bros. Inc., the nation’s second largest
brokerage house, and seven individuals on charges they were
involved in a gambling and money-laundering scheme.
Included among the seven was Joseph Mastronardo Jr., son-in
law of former Philadelphia Mayor Frank Rizzo.
U.S. Attorney Edward Dennis said the operation yielded about
$1.2 million in profits a year. The indictment covered the period
September 1982 to July 1985.
The money-laundering portion was headed by Herbert L. Cant
ley, who was sales manager of the Philadelphia office for Shearson
Lehman, the indictment said.
Dennis said gross receipts from the betting were estimated at $1
million per week, and that the profits were turned over to Cantley,
who. then converted the cash into other easily negotiable instru
ments, such as cashier’s checks, through the brokerage house.
Dennis said Shearson Lehman, a subsidiary of American Ex
press, was charged because Cantley,was an employee, and used his
position in the firm to launder money. But he said nb other
individuals are expected to be indicted in the ongoing investigation.
The indictment includes 63 counts of conspiracy, illegal gam
bling, failure to file currency transaction reports required by
federal law of brokers, and conclalment.
Riverside involved in proxy fight
JOHNSTOWN (AP) A union representing 3,500 Penn Traffic
Co. employees is siding with management in a proxy fight with an
investment group for control of the company, an issue to be decided
by shareholders at a meeting today.
Both Penn Traffic, which operates Riverside and Quality Mar
kets food stores in Pennsylvania and New York, and the challeng
ers, MTH Co., have been soliciting support from shareholders.
The United Food and Commercial Workers Union took an ad in
yesterday’s Johnstown Tribune-Democrat urging shareholders to
vote with management. Union officials said they acted out of
concern that a leveraged buyout could lead to fewer jobs at the
company.
Creation 'B6 begins in Shirleysburg
SHIRLEYSBURG, (AP) The scaffolding towering over the
stage, 25-foot video screen, and screaming fans spelled hard rock
concert, but for the more than 17,000 people gathered yesterday for
the opening of Creation ’B6, the difference was the message.
Nestled in the gently sloped mountains of central Pennsylvania,
the three-day outdoor event is billed as the country’s largest
Christian rock concert.
Organizers expect nearly 30,000 people by the time the camping
music-ministry extravaganza ends Saturday night.
The “contemporary Christian music” concert, held at the 500-
acre Agape Campground in Huntingdon County, has attracted
fundamentalists from California to Maine to Ontario, Canada, and
the likes of 1950 s rock-and-roller Dion DiMucci of “Dion and the
Belmonts” fame.
Organizers of the eight-year-old festival acknowledge criticism
that such rock music isn’t traditionally Christian, but said it’s
valuable because of the message it gets across to young people.

AT&T workers back on job
WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) A 26-day strike against American
Telephone & Telegraph Co. by 155,000 members of the Communica
tions Workers of American ended yesterday, and long-distance
operators, installers and production workers were told to return to
work at the beginning of the midnight shift.
Final accord on a new three-year contract came at mid-afternoon
when the union and company came to terms on scheduling, lengths
of shift and other work rules for the men and women who sell,
install and maintain AT&T telephone equipment.
The terms of the basic national contract were agreed to June 17,
but the union was adamant that no one would return to work until
all of the unit issues were resolved.
The agreement will be submitted to the workers for a secret
ratification vote Aug. 4, but they will work in the meantime.
W. Va. guards open fire on inmates
MOUNDSVILLE, W.Va. (AP) Guards opened fire on a dozen
knife-wielding inmates at the West Virginia Penitentiary on yester
day, wounding four prisoners, officials said.
Corrections Commissioner A.V. Dodrill said the disturbance
began about 2:20 p.m. when a dozen inmates from the high-security
North Hall section of the prison refused to follow guards’ instruc
tions.
Among the inmates in North Hall are more than 60 inmates
officials say were ringleaders in a New Year’s Day riot, in which
three prisoners were killed and 16 workers taken hostage.
Dodrill said yesterday’s disturbance began when a group of
prisoners was outside exercising and cell doors were opened to
allow a second group out to shower. He said 12 prisoners stepped
outside their cells, then refused to close the doors behind them as
required.
He said officers in full riot gear were called in about 2:45 p.m.
Dodrill said as the officers approached, one inmate threw a bottle
filled with an unknown substance. One or two officers then fired
shotguns filled with buckshot; four inmates were hit.
No guards were injured, officials said.
Dodrill said the officers acted properly.
Earlier, Don 'M. Ervin, the corrections department’s chief of
community operations, had said the disturbance began when
inmates in the yard for an exercise period refused to return to the
prison building.

Soviets hint summit prospects dim
MOSCOW (AP) Soviet commentaries yesterday indicated that
the state of U.S.-Soviet relations has so deteriorated that prospects
for a summit this year are dim unless there are major policy
changes in Washington.
The commentaries were the first major reaction by the state-run
press to President Reagan’s speech last week in Glassboro, N.J.
After his speech, Reagan met the new Soviet ambassador to
Washington, Yuri Dubinin. The issue of a summit meeting with
Mikhail S. Gorbachev was discussed but details were not made
public.
In Rome, Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Vladimir Petrovski
said yesterday that the United States wants the second summit set
for December.
The Novosti press agency distributed commentaries to Western
reporters in Moscow yesterday by two of its top political analysts.
Both commentaries gave a negative reaction to Reagan’s speech.
One, by Yuri Kornilov, concluded that the “spirit of Geneva” that
surrounded the November summit is dead.
Kornilov said the Soviet Union Wants a summit but two factors
are lacking to allow it: "an appropriate political climate” and a
willingness to translate into practice the two leaders’ pledges not to
seek military superiority.
Commentator Spartak Beglov said Reagan’s speech had pro
duced contradictory assessments in the West that he was
conciliatory, that he was trying to ease the shock of his announce
ment about disregarding SALT and that he wanted the benefits of a
summit without making any commitments.
Meanwhile, the official news agency Tass said that the conclu
sion of the fifth round U.S.-Soviet arms control talks in Geneva
yesterday shows the United States must revise it positions.
