Senators split over abortion issue hearings split on strategy
Senate conservatives debate two routes to ban abortions. Some push for a constitutional amendment while others seek legislation defining life as beginning at conception. Hatch and East clash over hearings with East planning April 23 24 focusing on medical testimony. President Reagan backs both approaches. Helms and Hyde lead the life definition bill, Thurmond backs a slower approach.

Nevada speed limit bill clears legislature for governor
Nevada lawmakers approve a bill allowing speeds up to 70 mph with a $5 energy wasting fine, awaiting Gov. Bob List’s signature. The measure exempts 55 to 70 mph violators from demerit points, while over 70 mph offenders remain unprotected. Nevada could become the first state to bypass the 55 mph federal mandate since Montana in 1974.

Major banks raise prime to 17 1/2 percent in New York
Chase Manhattan Bank and Manufacturers Hanover Trust Co increased the prime rate charged to their top corporate customers by a half point to 17.5 percent. Economists say higher money costs and market uncertainty prompted the move, but no trend in rates is implied. The prime rate reflects loans to the most creditworthy borrowers and does not track short-term fund costs or long term financing.
