Support for Israel remains high in Congress and administration
Washington, AP — Senators left the Foreign Relations Committee hearing with visible unease over US weapons aiding Israel in Lebanon’s conflict with the PLO. Despite distress, support for Israel remains strong in Congress and the administration, with Reagan’s stance against terrorism intact and calls for diplomacy complemented by time for negotiations. US military and economic aid totals reach about 1.4 billion and 785 million respectively, with potential 1983 and 1984 increases.

Methane Gas Ignites Underground Mine Explosion In Buchanan County
In Vansant Virginia methane gas from a long burning underground coal mine exploded early Friday at a closed Buchanan County mine. No injuries were reported though the blast damaged the mine office and head frame. Traffic on nearby Route 619 was halted as a safety precaution. The fire, burning since April, caused the explosion when methane reached the fire area. The night watchman was the only person at the site. The mine remains closed and officials said evacuation was not conducted.
