Witnesses urge tougher penalties to protect youth
Baltimore Sun reports a House panel hearing on stronger penalties for child labor law violations and expanded Department of Labor enforcement. A three day sting found 7 000 minors working illegally nationwide, while youth worker Matthew Garvey, 16, recounted losing his right leg at a Laurel carwash hired at 13. His mother Valerie Tyra defended the job, later showing lawmakers graphic injury photos. Matthew now has an artificial leg, uses a cane, and tutors at home awaiting high school.

Contra fighters back in Nicaragua wave of reinfiltration
Washington AP reports hundreds of Contra rebels have re infiltrated Nicaragua from jungle camps near the Honduras border since just before Nicaragua’s February 25 election. U.S. officials estimate 3,500 to 5,000 inside the country, with overall rebel strength around 10,000. Despite aid and calls for demobilization, Contra leaders demand Sandinista disarmament as a condition. Vice President Quayle urged both sides to demobilize while backing Chamorro’s transition and a $300 million aid package to accelerate repatriation and farming for the Contras.
