No espionage links found to canal treaty
Washington AP Senator Daniel Inouye heads a Senate Intelligence Committee probe into alleged U S spying during Panama Canal treaty talks. After two days of closed hearings he said no evidence showed U S intelligence affected talks, leaving questions about any activities unanswered. The treaty pact was signed by Carter and Torrijos and awaits Senate ratification and Panamanian plebiscite. Critics call the plan a giveaway while both governments deny coercion or bribery.

Tax relief plan failure sparks partisan blame in California
Lawmakers criticize the Brown SB 154 rebate scheme as a tax shift, predicting higher car taxes and new levies. Dissent centers on the bill’s $239 rebates to homeowners and $115 to renters, plus inventory tax repeal and taxes on investments, homes, and cars. Supporters argue a two thirds solution is essential, while opponents call it insufficient or punitive.
