Tighter outside income limits loom for House
The House appears unlikely to delay enforcement of a rule on outside earnings, despite Senate action. Speaker Thomas ONeill said there may be resentment but not enough votes to block tighter limits for House members, while the Senate postponed enforcing its own limit to 1983.

Grenada Leader Denies Coup as Radio Claim Surfaces
AP reports from Bridgetown say Grenada Prime Minister Eric Gairy denied being ousted in a coup by a group calling itself the New Revolutionary Government. Gairy, in New York for UN business, sought U.S. and British help to capture a small group of communists while stating rebels control only the radio station. The broadcast promised free elections and calm, with tourists safe and police in barracks, but no independent confirmation of the coup emerged.
