Doctors To Release Findings On King Murder Probe
New York medical examiner Dr. Michael Baden leading a panel of three pathologists in examining bullet fragments and tissue from Martin Luther King Jr. as the House committee probes the Memphis 1968 assassination. The group will assess the bullet path and whether fire came from the bathroom window across from King's motel, while keeping the established outcome of King dying from a spinal injury and blood vessel damage. The hearing opened with questions about the bullet’s point of origin and while some insist on conspiracy links, the panel is not expected to overturn the core finding.

Appropriations OK for Barnwell nuclear fuel plant
The House-Senate conference committee approved 18.5 million dollars for the Allied General Nuclear Services Barnwell plant. The package, aligned with the Senate and higher than the House bill, designates 16 million for operating costs and 2.5 million for equipment for research projects. The project has faced administration opposition since 1977 amid nuclear proliferation concerns. The measure goes back to both chambers for final approval.
