_— Page l^r^iTATQ T)\(ypp|- Associated Press Ngt^skdll 2 1MCW5) U lgeS>l Edited by Bob Nelson Frid^March 4,1988 Contra aid package OK’d WASHINGTON — The House voted narrowly Thursday for a $30 million Democratic package of “humanitarian” aid for the Contra rebels and young victims of Nicaragua’s civil war despite Presi dent Reagan’s warning thatitwastoo weak to keep the Contras intact as a fighting force. The lawmakers voted 215-210 to adopt the Democratic aid package, which still faced a final vole before being formally passed and sent to the Senate. The outcome of that vote remained in doubt. House Speaker Jim Wright, D Texas, said it would push both the Sandinistas and the Contras toward a cease-fire agreement in line with a seven-month-old regional Central American peace effort. “It is a battle for peace in Nicara gua, and for a constructive role for the United Slates in Central America as opposed to a destructive role,” Wright said. But the president, in a letter to pro Contra forces sent while he was at tending a meeting of Western allies in Brussels, Belgium, said Wright’s plan “does not meet the essential criteria” of keeping the Contras vi able and maintaining military pres sure on the leftist Sandinista govern ment. t He asked for support for a Repub lican aid proposal that backers said provided more flexibility for the Contras, both in the kinds of supplies that could be bought and in the way they would be delivered to troops in the field.

An embassy employee in Damascus, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said he saw Schray being escorted into the embassy at around noon. The 30-year-old industrial engineer was kidnapped Jan. 27 and released before dawn. Noriega opponents ponder next move in Panama PANAMA CITY, Panama — Many shuttered stores reopened Thursday and opponents of the regime of Gen. Manuel Antonio Noriega pondered their next move as a general strike wound down. President Reagan indicated Thursday he believes Noriega must go. Secretary of State George P. Shultz said economic sanctions against Noriega's government were being “considered carefully.” Local banks, closed since the strike began Monday, were reopened by midday. At least two factories in the city’s main industrial park — a ghost town for the past three days — resumed work Thursday morning, with others preparing to do so. Jewish shopper stabbed, Palestinians wounded JERUSALEM — An Arab stabbed a teen-age Jewish settler in the back Thursday as he shopped for the Jewish Purim holiday in the occupied West Bank city of Hebron, the army and witnesses said. Minutes later, angry Jewish seulers attack photographers taking pictures there, witnesses said. Elsewhere in the West Bank, Israeli troops wounded four Palestini ans in violent protests. Iran and Iraq continue missile duel NICOSIA, Cyprus—Iran and Iraq said they fired more missiles into each other’s capitals for the fourth straight day Thursday. Iraq said women and children were killed in Baghdad and Iran said 13 people were killed in Tehran. Iran also said 20 people were wounded when a missile hit a hospital in Tehran. The missile exchange is the first time both belligerents have bom barded each other’s capitals with missiles since the Persian Gulf war began in September 1980. It is also the worst escalation of the so-called “war of cities” since it began in early 1985. Iran has listed 30 killed and more than 130 wounded in Tehran since the Iraqi missiles began crashing into the capital Monday afternoon. It said another five people were killed in an air raid on the northern town of Rasht Wednesday. Two stories on Women’s Week in Thursday’s Daily Nebraskan in cluded several inaccuracies.
