Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres called for a meeting with Jordan and moderate Palestinians to organize an international peace conference. He suggested a preliminary small-team session or a summit, noting talks with Thatcher and U.S. envoy Murphy and signaling possible locations in Jordan or Israel.

Community pride drives new Princeton recreation complex
Princeton officials describe a planned recreation complex adjacent to the new Princeton Senior High School as a community boost and regional draw. The project aims to serve students and residents, with the Princeton High School Foundation backing public school support and tax deductible contributions. A separate note reports an unarmed U.S. cruise missile launched from a B 52 bomber ended its four hour flight early over Cold Lake Alberta, likely damaged, with recovery uncertain.
