He cited high death by own action rates, alcoholism, health deficits, school dropouts, and joblessness and urged priority on jobs and education, backing a sweeping national policy over union bargaining. In Washington, a teachers strike closed 24 high schools while 1 000 of 3 000 teachers walked out. The Washington Teachers Union planned a one day Capitol visit for salary talks.

State Loses Fight In Tideland Issue
Washington AP reports a House Interior subcommittee approved a bill to earmark about 100 million dollars annually for five years from tidelands mineral revenues to the land and water conservation fund. Louisiana seeks a different revenue split, arguing coastal states deserve about 74.2 percent of offshore lease income, and fears setting a precedent by earmarking funds before a formal ruling. Rep. Edwin Willis says hearings may come later this year.
