Toll rises as Armero disaster widens in deadly mudslide
Survivors climbed trees to escape mud waves moving up to 60 mph while rescue teams shifted to evacuations. An air bridge was set up to transport injured to Bogota from Mariquita, with four military and four private aircraft. The United States sent helicopters tents and medical supplies from bases in Panama, and 12 helicopters were dispatched by the Agency for International Development. Officials warned of limited water and disinfectant needs at Guayabal as losses were tallied. Authorities reported a wide fatal toll with estimates between 15 000 and 20 000 in the Armero region and hundreds more in neighboring areas.

Washington AP reports the House approved a bill to extend dairy price supports through December 13 and to extend food stamp pilots, while trimming 1985 barley tobacco price supports. The measure lowers the farmer assessment and mirrors actions by the Agriculture Department, aiming to prevent a $2 million daily windfall from dairy subsidies.

Regents Told Grim Money News
Alden Shields, director of the governor's budget office, told the Kansas Board of Regents the state's finances are dire and funding for the six universities would be cut, with only a $2.1 million net increase and no salary or program expansions. Tuition and fees would rise to cover shortfalls as state tax dollars shift to prisons and mental health.
