The indictments allege beatings, threats with guns, and bagging defendants to cut air supply, with possible 10 year terms and $10,000 fines.

House Votes to Shelve MX Missile Bases Plan
The House tentatively voted to block spending on the MX base network in the western desert, delaying deployment amid a presidential decision. An amendment by Rep. Hansen sets 60 days for Congress to veto Reagan’s deployment choice, while the defense bill advances with $2.4 billion for MX and $1.1 billion tied to bases in Utah and Nevada. The Senate favors similar authorization, and a Weinberger panel reviews Carter’s relocation proposal for the Great Basin shelters.

Injunction Halts West Virginia Car Insurance Law
A Kanawha County Circuit judge issued a 40 day temporary injunction blocking West Virginia's compulsory car insurance law from taking effect Friday. Wayne Sinclair filed the suit against the Motor Vehicles Department arguing constitutional issues and potential harm to low income residents. Deputy commissioner Tom Stevens said the injunction may be unfair to those who already bought insurance to comply.
