House backs tough bill to curb Japan trade practices
The House approved a 280 to 145 vote to empower the president to curb unfair trade and push for a yearly 1.65 million Japanese auto imports cap to shrink Japan's 43 billion dollar U S surplus. The cap passed 260 to 166. New York saw intensified police patrols as unrest followed a resident's killing with 2,000 officers deployed and 125 arrests, 53 officers and 16 civilians injured, 14 buildings and 121 vehicles burned. One man died as violence spilled from a 70 block area.
