UMW Chief Delays Walkout Over Mine Safety Reforms
AP reports United Mine Workers leader Sam M Church Jr. postpones a 10 day Memorial Period walkout over a revised MSHA rule. The rule sets a $20 minimum fine for minor violations, with higher penalties possible, amid ongoing mine fatalities. Church seeks cooperation with MSHA before action, noting past fines average $75 and expressing misgivings about the adequacy of the new penalties. The union authorized 10 Memorial Days in its contract and may act after consulting leaders.

Hinckley prosecutor seeks to discredit psychiatrist witness
Washington AP A defense psychologist testified he spent little time discussing the Reagan assassination attempt with John Hinckley Jr and learned little of Hinckley s life from him. Ernst Prelinger said he interviewed Hinckley twice totaling 32 hours in 1981 and about 212 hours in September, marking him as the third defense witness to say Hinckley suffered from extreme mental illness. Prosecutor Robert Chapman challenged Prelinger clarifying whether Hinckley ever spoke of Russian roulette like behavior or White House ambitions, to which Prelinger replied he did not. He added that tests alone cannot reveal the full picture and must be interpreted with context, noting his tests would indicate a severely disturbed person if used alone.
