Extradition bid A United States judge has barred the extradition of an alleged former American member of the Irish Republican Army, William Quinn, only eight hours before he could have been flown to Britain. Mr Quinn, aged 34. is alleged in a British warrant, to have murdered Police Constable Stephen Tibble in the London suburb of Hammersmith on February 16, 1975. He has been held in jail since he was arrested by agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in San Francisco on September 30, 1981, while on his way to work at his family’s stationery shop. — San Francisco. Freeze rejected The Australian Council of Trade Unions has rejected a six-month wages freeze, and will go ahead with its campaign for a 6 per cent pay rise. The A.C.T.U. president. Cliff Dolan, has announced the council's move after a meeting with the Acting Prime Minister, Mr Doug Anthony, and other senior Ministers including the Employment and Industrial Relations Minister, Mr lan Macphee. — Canberra. Heart progress Seizures that sent Barney Clark back on the critical list appear to have been caused by an easily correctable chemical imbalance that is unrelated to his new artificial heart, said doctors. Dr Clark's treatment includes consuming a thin gruel containing ground-up carrots and mineral supplements, said Dr Chase Peterson, the University of Utah Vice-President for Health Sciences. He compared the gruel to old-fashioned chicken soup. — Salt Lake City. Border plan Spain’s new Socialist Government has approved plans to reopen the border with Gibraltar to pedestrian traffic, said the Prime Minister, Mr Felipe Gonzalez. He did not say when the gates at the crossing point of La Linea would be opened.
