Scientists saw just one of the three expected cloud layers and said it could be either ammonia, the expected composition of the outermost layer, or ammonium hydrosulfide, believed to constitute a second, deeper layer. basements. A blizzard that had residents knee-dee- p in snow just a couple of weeks ago now had them ankle-dee- p in mud. I was "My first reaction almost physically sick," said Sue Kelly, surveying her mud-fille- d basement in Washington Boro, Pa. "Then I just sat back and chuckled. I mean, what can you do?" Steven Witkowski, 84, who was cleaning his muddy home along the Mohawk River in Schenectady, N.Y., said the lesson is: "You don't buy expensive rugs, because you'll just have to throw them away." Flooding from the melting snow and last week's heavy rain forced thousands from their homes in parts of Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, New Jersey, Maryland and New York. Many evacuees began returning home Sunday.

Roger Davis and his wife, Tina, returned to find that their mobile home in Williamsport, Pa., had been picked up by the floodwaters and smashed into the trailer next door. "Our keeps saying she wants to go home," Mrs. Davis said. "How do you explain that home is gone?" Pennsylvania officials estimated damage from the floods and the Jan. 7 blizzard at $700 million. In the hardest-hi- t areas of Pennsylvania, it was the worst flooding since Hurricane Agnes blew through in 1972. In that disaster, 220,000 Pennsylvanians were left homeless and 48 were killed. In West Virginia, hit harder than it was in 1985 when floods killed 47 and caused $570 million in damage, an estimated 3,000 homes were damaged and two people died when they tried to drive on flooded roads. Jim Neville said a row of cars and decision to impose a cease-fir- e end the Gulf War. "Our mission was to end the aggression, it was to kick Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait nothing more, nothing less," Bush said. He also offered a purely Republican solution to the federal budget impasse. He noted that Republicans haven't controlled both the executive and legislative branches of government since the 1950s. "The answer is in trying something that hasn't been tried since the first term of the Eisenhower administration," he said. "What has not been tried is a Republican president and a Republican Congress." LAWMAKERS: (Continued from Page Al) lot. They don't go easy and they don't go without a fight." '"This bill doesn't address the abortion question ... This bill addresses the fact that sucking brains out of babies and burning them to death in the womb of their at a time when they mother would live if they were delivered are too repulsive any other way for the people of Utah to allow in this state," Bresnahan said at the Monday rally. Beverly Cooper, director of Utahns for Choice, crit- icized the bill because it establishes a civil cause of action against physicians who perform banned abortion methods. the She said the legislation would force physicians treating women with pregnancies to use alternative procedures such as a hysterotomies (caesarean that sections), or induced labor save their life but may involve far greater risks and damage to their health than the prohibited abortion method. "These are women who wanted to continue these pregnancies, but something went seriously wrong and must now consider termination," Cooper said. "These procedures are only done because the women's lives are often at risk ... I'm concerned that legislators are appointing themselves to make medical decisions that would potentially tie the hands of doctors." Cooper also said the late-terabortion provision in the bill would also be considered unconstitutional since a federal appeals court rejected a Utah law which banned most abortions after the 20th week of pregnancy. m fie .Mi, Some areas Owen findine they flldrf' have drinking water because'-'thei- i untpr source was underwater. t arAbout 10,000 residents o: tins Ferry, Ohio, soon will be,with out fresh drinking water became of submerged pumping stations Guard National And (Continued from Page Al) ofa fear that moderate Republicans w ill Air Quality RALLY: defect and vote with Orton. the party in control of the 2s Republicans determine wrfut legislation can come to the flopr of the chamber for debate. - To overcome that obstacle, Orton and his allies are planning to offer a "discharge petition," an obscure device that allows a majority of the House to overrule thej leadership and bring legislation to the floor over their objection. for it to be successful, 2 8 lawmakers would have to sign on, meaning that at least 20 Republi-cari- s would have to jump ship and vole with Orton and the Democrats.
