Show Watchers Play memlment Showdown Ahead The faithful and curious stayed on, however, confident of glimpsing the birds around nightfall. The best sighting time is from dawn to 9 a m or 4 p m to dark," a Cleveland Metroparks ranger said. A flock of about 75 of the birds arrives at the Hinckley field each year to lay their eggs. They roost in tree stumps and brush until September, then migrate south for the winter. Rangers said the birds' delay probably was caused by wet weather, which slows their flight as their wing feathers take on moisture. Buzzards' Waiting Game Ohio (UPI) -HINCKLEY, Buzzard watchers gathered in a damp open field in northern Ohio Thursday to mark the 166th annual return of the ugly birds to Hinckley. About 20 buzzard fans waited near Hinckley Lake Thursday morning but the birds were Senate Rejects By Margaret Scherf Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON After 10 days of emotionally charged debate, the Senate voted Thursday against a watered-dowversion of President Reagan's proposal for a school prayer constitutional amendment, one permitting only silent organized prayer in the nations classrooms.

Publicly, officials said they would not give up on the plan, whose success depends on getting Jordan to enter peace talks with Israel. But privately, they said chances of making progress this year had been eliminated and some changes would be needed if the plan is to be revived. They also said Husseins statements would make it more difficult, if not impossible, to get Congress to go along with plans to sell Stinger missiles to Jordan and to spend $220 million to create a Jordanian strike force for the Persian anti-aircra- ft Gulf. The king said in a New York Times interview published Thursday that Americans have made your choice, and your choice is Israel and support of Israel. That being the case, there is no hope of achieving anything. He said the Reagan initiative, first proposed on Sept. 1, 1982, is hopeless." John Hughes, the State Department spokesman, said the Hussein interview was a disappointing setback, of course it is. He said the administration regrets the timing of the statements, although it will continue to push planned weapons sales to Jordan. The king's remarks constituted the second blow to the administration's Middle East diplomacy in the past month. A defeat for American policy in Lebanon led to the withdrawal of Marine peacekeeping forces and the scrapping of the 1983 Lebanese-Israel- i troop withdrawal agreement.
