Povich United Press International WASHINGTON -- A diverse group of senators and congressmen, repre­ senting both parties and political viewpoints from liberal to conserva­ tive, Thursday balled for an interna­ tional monetary conference on stabi­ lizing exchange rates. The group was led by conservative Rep. Jack Kemp, R-N.Y., but in­ cluded liberal Rep. William Gray, D-Pa., House Democratic leader Jim Wright of Texas, Sen. Bill Brad­ ley, D-N.J., arid Sen. Bill Arm­ strong, R-Colo. "We come from different views and parties in Congress," Kemp told a news conference, but we are to­ gether in a sense of unity around the idea that monetary instability is at the heart of much of the trade con­ troversy in Congress." The group, which also included House Republican leader Trent Lott of Mississippi, sent a letter to Trea­ sury Secretary James Baker calling for the conference.

Kemp said he was pleased that at the announcement this week by fi­ nance ministers of the United States, West Germany. Britain. Ja­ pan and France that would coordi­ nate efforts to stabilize the dollar and push down its value in compari­ son to other currencies. Bradley said the high value of the dollar is, in effect, a tax oh U.S. exports and a subsidy of imports. Armstrong said that a large por­ tion of the trade problem is a money problem, and said he is looking for a conference to find "stable exchange rates." "There may be a better solution than a fixed exchange rate," Arm­ strong said. "But the fact is the floating exchange rate has been a flop." Wright, asked if the monetary con­ ference was being proposed as an alternative to the protectionist mood running through Congress, said it would be a "supplement tosome con­ structive action and as an alterna­ tive to some potentially destructive action." But indicators also advanced. The New York Stock Exchange index rose 0.27 to 104.82 while Standard & Poor's 500-stock index increased 0.63 to 181.29. The price of an average share added 9 cents.

Halley's Comet Worth a second look Almanac By United Press International Today is Friday, Sept. 27, the 270th day of 1985 with 95 to follow. The moon is moving approaching fullness. The morning stars are Venus and Mars. The evening stars are Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn. Those born on this date are under the sign of Libra. They include American patriot Samuel Adams in 1722, actor William Conrad in 1920 t*ge 65), actress Jayne Meadows in 1926 (age 59), and actor Shaun Cassidy in 1958 (age 27). On this date in history: In 1825, in England, George Stephenson operated the first locomotive to pull a passenger train. In 1938, the British ocean liner Queen Elizabeth, predecessor to the QE2, was launched. In 1939, after 19 days of heavy air raids and artillery bombardment, the Polish defenders of Warsaw surrendered to the Germans. In 1961, Syrian army officers ended their nation's 3 V2-year-old union with Egypt as the United Arab Republic. In 1984, unfazed by President Reagan's conciliatory speech two days earlier, Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko harshly attacked U.S. foreign policy before the United Nations General Assembly. Mexico's president vows to rebuild Mexico City By Frederick Kiel United Press International MEXICO CITY - President Mi­ guel de la Madrid vowed Thursday to speed the rebuilding of earth- quake-ravaged Mexico City as a group of survivors blasted the gov­ ernment for ignoring shoddy con­ struction at a housing complex where 1,000 people died. The official death toll from the earthquakes that struck the capital Sept. 19 and Sept. 20 stood at 4,596, but a United Press International survey found at least 56 more bodies were pulled from the rubble of col­ lapsed buildings Wednesday. The search for .survivors contin­ ued at sites like the Hospital Juarez, where Ana Guadalupe Rubalcava, 28, was pulled out shortly after mid­ night, suffering only from bruises. An unidentified nurse was dragged from the wreckage about 3 a.m. and a week-old baby was saved shortly before dawn. A survey of police stations showed at least 40 more corpses were pulled from the rubble at various sites Thursday. Police said workers found 25 corpses in one building, but could not immediately remove them. In other places, two or three corpses were removed. At least 10 survivors were found at five different sites. Police at the Tlaxcoaque station said a U.S. res­ cue team working with engineers from ICA, a large Mexican construc­ tion company, pulled two babies from the ruins of the General Hospi­ tal obstetrics ward. The infants were born Sept. 18. the day before the quake, hospital offi­ cials said. They were hospitalized in good condition. Another young child was also res­ cued from the hospital ruins. At a cc lapsed apartment house in the downtown area, workers rescued Fausta Angulo, 35, and his 4-year- old son, Carlos. A badly injured woman was also rescued at the site and flown by helicopter to a hospital Six more people were believed to be alive in an elevator in a building on Belisario Dominquez Street in the downtown area, authorities said. By Byron P. White . Howard News Service During the summer of 1910, on a clear, summer night in the hills of southern Indiana, a 9-year-old girl stood in an open field and stared in astonishment toward the sky. Against the blackness of the night, an object soared brightly across the heavens. "It was like a big, round, red ball heading west," she recalls today. "It looked like it had peacock feath­ ers slanted southerly. "That was the night the world was to come to an end.'v- A few restless days passed before a schoolteacher told May Shehane and others in her Ohio County, Ind., community that the fireball they saw was Halley's Comet, a scientific phenomenon, not a sign of the earth's destruction. For most in that small, rural com­ munity, the comet was a once-in-a- lifetime attraction and the subject of science-fiction tales long before the special effects of television and the­ ater. But Mrs. Shehane, now an 84- year-old great-grandmother in Cin­ cinnati, has made it her business to see the comet again when it returns within eyeshot around mid-March, 1986. "It was the most beautiful thing anyone could ever look at," Mrs. Shehane said. "I've never forgotten it. It's just as plain in my mind's eye as it ever was. For five or six nights 75 years ago, Mrs. Shehane stood with her family and watched the comet pass by her farm. Through the years she has told the story over and over to her children and friends: how some peo­ ple sold their homes because they were so frightened by the comet; how church attendance went way up during the days the comet lit up the sky.
