Drug users dominate Washington arrests in the study
The survey shows about 66 percent of arrestees in the District of Columbia used drugs, with 10 percent of nonusers admitting some drug use. The finding challenges prior estimates that only one-fifth to one-third of arrestees are drug users and was announced by James K. Stewart, director of the institute, at a news conference.

Coal firm pleads guilty to mine safety violations
Peabody Coal Co., the nation’s largest producer, pleaded guilty in Benton Illinois federal court to violating mine safety rules connected to a fatal roof collapse at a southern Illinois mine. The plea avoided trial on a 12 count indictment under the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1977. Foreman Darrell Dunn, 48, of Harrisburg, died in December 1982 when roof debris fell on him.

Pell warns on rising college costs and debt. The measure would raise Pell Grants to $2,400 but a Dole amendment trims annual increases. FY 1987 tops at $2,300.
