The 189 Democratic wtes opposing the aid requests are only 28 short of an absolute House majority of 217. Rep.

Bob Carr, a sponsor of the anti-aid resolution, said it strengthens the opposition to any emergency aid bill that reaches the House floor. 1 My hot water tank blew up this past weekend. I'm on ADC and because of this plumbers won't even give me an estimate because they say it takes too long to get paid for the repair job by the state.

The gas company gave me an estimate but Social Services says I have to get another one. I have four small children and need hot water. Can you help me? P.R., Hamtramck. Work now, pay later prospect turned off most plumbers but Action Line finally found willing soul in Leroy Langford of Langford's Plumbing in Detroit. Langford said labor cost probably wouldn't amount to much but materials might run over $100.

Plumbers have to carry expense while Michigan Department of Social Services wades through seven-step paperwork process necessary for ADC repair job reimbursement. Jerrold department's acting director of assistance payments, said process can take as little as 30 days to complete but admitted several month wait is now rule rather than exception.

LATER, the House foreign affairs subcommittee voted 4 to 3 to recommend $82.5 million aid, but on a month-by month basis and only on condition that Ford certify each month that "the U.S.

is undertaking specific steps to end the conflict in Cambodia not later than June 30." Ford would be required to certify each month that the Cambodian government is seeking an accomodation with the insurgents, that safe passage out of the country is assured for officials who fear a bloodbath and that the United States is seeking UN oversight of "a peaceful and orderly end to the conflict." Ford has asked Congress to approve $222 million in emergency military aid for Cambodia and $300 million additional aid for South Vietnam. Sen. James Abourezk, announced that he would introduce the same resolution adopted by the House Democrats at a caucus of Senate Democrats Thursday morning. Sen. Henry M.

Stans told reporters outside the courthouse afterward: "This disposition, I believe, establishes once and for all that I had no guilty involvement in Watergate burglary, the Watergate cover-up, the Segretti sabotage, the ITT case, the White Huse plumbers affair or the 1971 dairy industry dealings. "This is important in view of the many baseless public charges againsst me in recent years," he said. Stans said his decision to plead guilty was based in part on the illness of his wife.

Mansfield is on friendly terms with Sihanouk, ousted as Cambodia's leader in 1970.

"It is without doubt the largest flying Creature presently known," Douglas A. Law-son reported in the current issue of Science magazine. Lawson estimated the animal, known as a pterosaur, had a wingspan of 51 feet, although he said it could be as small as 36 feet or as big as 69 feet. The largest previous known pterosaur, found in western Kansas, had a wingspan of about 20 feet. The largest bird now alive is the condor, with wingspans up to 10 feet.
