Hoove _ e m n, Akbo, MI 4814 IN BRIEF From United Press International Air India 'black boxes' to be unsealed BOMBAY, India - A special in- vestigatory panel headed yester- day for Bombay to listen to flight and voice recorders retrieved from an Air-India jet that crashed last month off the Irish coast, killing all 329 people on board. Investigators are expected today to unseal the flight and cockpit voice recorders recovered from the jumbo jet. They hope the "black boxes" - actually painted orange for visibility - will provide clues to the cause of the disaster, which some experts have speculated was the result of a bomb. The Air-India Booing 747, on a flight from Canada to India, vanished from radar screens 31,000 feet in the air and crashed June 23 off the coast of Ireland. Congress strives for budget compromise WASHINGTON - Senate Republican leader Robert Dole and the White House pressured House Democratsuyesterday to make more spending cuts asa way to get a budget agreement, but House leaders said it was up to the Senate. "We're going to try as best we can . . . but if we don't get it (a budget agreement) right now it isn't fatal," House Democratic leader Jim Wright told reporters. Congressional negotiators and President Reagan agreed more than a week ago on a new "framework" for a compromise budget that calls for preserving Social Security payments, in- creasing future military spending with inflation, and finding more places to cut spending to make up for the money spent on Social Security.

Ruling party prevails in Mexican elections MEXICO CITY - Official results yesterday showed the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party won an overwhelming majority of seats in the new Congress in Mexico's recent elec- tion, which sparked protests in several border cities. The federal Electoral Com- mission said the almost completed vote tally showed the ruling party, known as PRI, has so far won 230 of the 300 seats in the Chamber of Deputies. The opposition won just four seats, the commission said. Results of the races for the other 66 seats contested in the July 7 election will be released within a day. An additional 100 Chamber seats will be distributed later to opposition parties based on their percentage of the vote.
