School year shortened in occupied West Bank
The military administration said the West Bank school year would end July 21 with final exams likely to begin Saturday, cutting about a month from the schedule and leaving Arab students worried they will fail. A UN official blamed curfews and strikes for Gaza cash problems but said food isn't short, while clashes left an 18-year-old Arab wounded in Beit Sahur. Curfews persisted in Nablus, Qalailya, Beit Sahur and Beit Jala refugee camps as talks continued.

Rebels Reported Killing in Nicaragua Ceasefire Violations
Three Contras and a civilian died in northern Matagalpa and central Chontales amid attacks violating the March 21 truce. The rebels kidnapped 20, with 16 aboard an ambushed army truck in Jinotega and four more abducted elsewhere. The government and Contras accuse one another as talks fail and U.S. involvement looms. The Sandinistas celebrate nine years in power next week amid renewed tensions.

Senators Press For U S Refugee Processing Suspension End
Twenty three senators and nine House members urged President Reagan to lift the State Department refugee processing suspension now. They warned the move harms emigration promises and could bolster Soviet claims the U S blocks refugees. House members asked Shultz to find 10 million dollars to resume Moscow processing or seek more funds.
