...Garn is out to amend the Davis-Bacon Act so that it no longer raises the pay of workers on federally assisted construction projects. Says he: "Organized labor is going to scream to high heaven, but I think we've got the votes." Utah's ultraconservative Orrin Hatch, the new Senate Labor Committee chairman-who greeted his ascendancy by exclaiming, "I thought I'd died and gone to heaven!"-is in favor of lowering the minimum wage for young workers, a proposal Reagan has supported in the past. Hatch is determined to push his ideas as hard...
Idaho. Frank Church, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was the No. 1 target of the Republicans. One after another, the big G.O.P. guns-Reagan, Gerald Ford, Senator Orrin Hatch-came to Idaho to fire away at the Senator. For more than a year, conservatives belonging to A.B.C.

Suddenly the mosquito, slightly larger at ¼ in. long than the common backyard variety, became a major plague. So far, the insects have killed at least 49 cows and horses but no humans, though several Texans have been chased indoors or into cars by the voracious bugs...
...confuse matters more, Robert Vesco, the famed fugitive financier now basking in the Bahamas out of the reach of U.S. law, seemed to tell Senators Dennis DeConcini and Orrin Hatch that he had got Billy involved with the Libyans. The Senators were questioning Vesco last week as part of a Senate Judiciary Committee study of pending Justice Department cases. Because Vesco has a reputation as a conman, his charges aroused skepticism-and, indeed, Vesco later seemed to back off. But Hatch and DeConcini are planning to dig deeper...
