I WASHINGTON ( UPI) - The House, in the second denunciation of President Reagan's Central Amen- c- a policy in three days, joined the Senate Thursday night in voting against U. S.- back- ed mining of Nica- ragu- an ports. Following a sometimes bitter de-bate, the House voted 231- 11- 1 for a non- bind- mg resolution declaring no funds should be used to plan, direct or support the mining of Nicaraguan waters. The Senate approved identical lan-guage Tuesday on a 84- 1- 2 vote ' The world is waiting for a sign from this body as well that the peo-ple of the United States wiil not toler-- ate the contempt shown by this ad- -' ministration for our own principles and the rule of law," said Rep. Da-vid Bonior, D- Mi- ch. " Our president has personally or-dered acts of war against Nicara-gua," said Rep Bill Alexander, D- A- rk , charging Reagan had violated international law by authorizing the CIA- sponsor- ed mining in support of Nicaraguan rebels. Republicans charged the resolu-tion was a political attack, but they failed in a preliminary vote, 239- 15- 3, to block consideration of the mea sure. Reagan's defenders said Demo-crats were ignoring the efforts of the pro- Cub- an government of Nicaragua to spread subversion in Central America. " Where is the language condemn-ing Nicaragua's attacks on its neigh-bors? Is Nicaraguan aggression ac-ceptable," asked Rep Robert Lagomarsino, R- Ca- hf. lTkttintl Couple spurns the traditional, settles for pigskin, moccasins By Karen Coble Mlssourian staff writer Most bndes- to- b- e dream of white lace gowns, grooms in tuxedos and candle- li- t church ceremonies. Lau-rie Bunudge has a different dream. She's excited about her outdoor wed-ding, where she will don a pigskin dress, have her dog as nngbearer and marry the man she loves. On Saturday, at a park in Boon- vfll- e that overlooks the Missouri Riv-er, Bunudge, a cook at a day care center, will wed psychologist Jim Schlapper in a ceremony they de-scribe as " what feels good." She will wear the brown Indian- styl- e dress they made from pigskin The groom will wear a coordinating shirt and moccasins. Their German shepherd will carry their turquoise rings on a collar made from her dress scraps. " Guests were told to wear what they feel comfortable in," says the blue jean- cla- d Bunudge. The groomsmen may wear jeans; the fa-ther of the bride probably will be in a business suit. " We will walk up to an ( Indian) mound and say our vows, just he, I and God," the bride says. " Then we will come back down to the crowd and be official." " It's just the way we are. Jim and I aren't tuxedos and long white dresses. This is the way it should be. We don't want the meaning to be lost in all the little details." Their ceremony and the vows they wrote to each other are a reflection of their lives " I follow my heart pre-tty much," she says. " So far I'm doing pretty good." Her heart is what attracted her to Schlapper, whom she met at a New Year's Eve party. They share an ap-preciation of nature, something that has inspired much of their marriage plans. " I want to be able to try out our dreams and make them come true Like opening an outdoor family- onente- d camp for children. Away from the city, with TV telling you that you have to have Cabbage Patch dolls or you just aren't going to be in," fhe bnde says Burnidge, who is in her mid- 20- s, works as a cook at Kinder- Car- e Learning Center, where she also makes crafts like collages from wood and other natural products. Their wedding will be as practical as it is natural, she says. Her wed-ding dress and the groom's shut cost $ 50 each. " We opted for pigskin be-cause it was cheaper than other leathers," she says. From her pigskin wedding dress, she plans to make crafts from the leather scraps. " I teased that I had enough scraps left that I was going to make Jim a breech cloth," she muses. " But he wouldn't go mat far." Although many aspects of their wedding are not traditional, they do have postrmarnage plans that seem familiar. A Florida honeymoon is scheduled. Skin sellers not in hog heaven By Karon CoWe Mtecourlan 8ta writer Pigskin has an image problem. " A lot of people do not recognize the product," says Mike Simpson, president of the Pigskin Council of America. " You cant pick it up and say, Bey this ispigskin.' " So, the council and several organi-zations are educating consumers about pigskin's applications so they can boost sales and bring home more bacon. Bedde Smith, who sells pigskin at Tandy Leather Co., 701 Locust St., says it is more durable than cow-- v hide. " It is versatile enough to be i used in place of any leather," she says. Pigskin is most commonly mar-keted in clothes and shoes, but it's being tested in other products. Gen-eral Motors will offer two cars with pigskin upholstery for an additional 5500, Simpson says. At $ 1.99 a square foot, garment weight pigskin is cheaper than many similar man- mad- e materials according to Smith. Pigskin is priced by the square foot and sold by the bide. The average hog produces 12 to 13 square feetof leather. A hog's color makes no difference because the tanning process remov-es the natural color, Simpson says. IdWood Jim Schlapper and Laurie Burnidge will wear pigskin Saturday to their wedding. " 1 " M DEIR EL BALAH. Israeli- occupie- d Gaza Strip ( UPI) Israeli sol-diers stormed a hijacked bus just be-fore dawn today, freeing more than 30 hostages from terronsts armed with grenades and molotov cock-tails An Israeli army spokesman said six hostages were wounded during the eight- hou- r standoff, but there were no reports on the fate of four terronsts who commandeered the bus shortly after sundown Earner reports had said there were five ter-rorist involved A Syrian- base- d Palestinian group claimed responsibility for the hijack-ing, which ended just before dawn when Israeli soldiers stormed the bus, army and police sources said " I heard bursts of automatic fire," a survivor told the armed forces ra-dio. " I said to myself, ' here, they've come to kill ( the terronsts), I hope none of us will be hurt ' " The assault on the bus, the most recent in a rash of guerrilla attacks, came 10 days after three terronsts opened fire on a Jerusalem street, wounding 43 people The army spokesman said the hi-jacked bus, carrying 35 passengers, drove through two roadblocks before Israeli troops shot out its tires some six miles south of Gaza City The spokesman said the Israeli troops stormed the bus after negotia-tions with the guerrillas held by De-fense Minister Moshe Arens and Army Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Moshe Levy failed The whole rescue operation took less than two minutes Troops then removed the wounded for treati ment, the military command said The hijackers, earning mc'oun cocktails, knives, and grenade hid den in bnefcaset.. boarded the EgH ed Co bus as paying passengers en route from Tel A iv to Ashktlon 30 miles to the south thin forced the driver to continue bouth into the Gaza strip Israeli soldiers surrounded the bus after shooting its tires, and eight people, including the driver, escap-ed, military sources said Two pregnant women were re-leased soon after the hijacking, the sources said Reports were sketchy because of heavy military censorship In Damascus, Syria, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine said in a statement one of its groups staged the attack On March 8, three people were killed and nine were wounded when a grenade exploded under the seat of a bus in Ashdod The Abu Nidal guerrilla splinter claimed responsi bihty Ashdod and Ashkelon are 10 miles apart along the MediHrranean coast Last December, six people were killed and 40 were wounded when a bomb exploded on a bus in the west- e- m outskirts of Jerusalem Eight days before the bombing in Ashdod, a bombing on Jerusalem s mam street injured 21 persons Thirty- fou- r Israelis were killed and 74 wounded in the attack Man pays for gravel to wheel Ms meals By Karen R. Branch Missourian staff writer When 73- year-- old Clem Bruce saved his money for two years to put $ 500 worth of gravel on a narrow, quarter- mil- e lane outside his dnve- wa- y, he never realized it would cause a sbr But it caused enough of a stir that it reached the Boone County Court Thursday. " He was concerned that someone would get stuck bringing his meals to him," Northern District Judge Alex Gates told the other judges " This man paid for the rock when he couldn't afford it. That's touching " Gates explained that the Hams- bur- g man lives on a $ 300- a- mon- th in-come. He suggested to the judges that the county reimburse Bruce They agreed to do so as long as the cost wasn't " excessive " When Bruce heard of the decision Thursday evening, he seemed to be surprised, though he had talked with Gates Wednesday His eyes widened behind his bifocals as he smiled a toothless smile " Well if they want to, they can," he said laughing Sitting in a folding chair in his cluttered one- roo- m house, Bruce asked who had contacted Gates A smile spread across his face when he heard it was Karen McBnde, who delivers a daily meal to him through the Senior Citizen Nutntion Pro-gram. " That's what I figured," he said. " Now, what'd she go and do that for? " Them women come everyday and bring me my dinner. They keep pretty good check on me," he contin-ued in a quiet voice, then added slowly, " I'm glad they do too." Bruce said he gets $ 314 each month from Social Secunty Insur-ance. His receipts from Boone Quar- ne- s Inc. show a cost of $ 507 75 for putting the gravel on the road and his winding driveway. Despite the drain on his small in-come, Bruce said he never thought about asking the county for help. " Some people down there com-plain about their roads," he said. " I don't believe in that. Those fellows ( county Judges) have enough to do."
