California growers cope with quarantine
Patterson Calif AP growers face a vegetable quarantine during tomato picking in the San Joaquin Valley center. A 264 square mile zone was imposed after medflies were found in a one square mile area. Eight growers funded four planes to dust 900 acres with diphos. Tomatoes may move to canneries after fumigation, but no fresh fruit leaves the area until processed. Pepper harvests loom as officials work to expand fumigation capacity amid a months long medfly battle.

Reagan Congress at stalemate on pollution program funding
Washington reports a funding impasse over the 9 year old federal sewer cleanup program. The Reagan administration seeks a 75 percent cut to 23 billion, sparing only some plant work while ending pipes, extra capacity and stormwater relief. Congress resists, warning of higher local taxes and abandoned projects. EPA says 90 billion more may be needed to meet current obligations.
