Good evening. A federal judge today rejected a Yakima Indian Nation attempt to retain jurisdiction over five tribal members accused of federal fishing violations.
Lawyers for the tribe had sought to quash bench warrants for the five who were convicted in federal court three years ago.
They were to begin serving prison terms August 8th, but tribal officials want the defendants to be tried in tribal court on the same charges before beginning their sentences.
But U.S. District Judge Jack Tanner in Tacoma denied that request.
Federal marshals in Yakima refused to say when they'll serve the warrants.
The marshals have been asked to notify tribal authorities before entering the reservation to apprehend those five men.
Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev announced today the extension of this country's nuclear test ban until January.
Gorbachev made the announcement on Soviet television.
He warned the United States not to regard the move as a sign of weakness.
It's the third time the Soviet Union has extended that moratorium.
Gorbachev called on President Reagan to sign a treaty that would ban nuclear testing.
He called such a treaty a step toward ending the arms race.
Today's announcement was the first indication that Gorbachev has agreed to a superpower summit in Washington later this year.
The Reagan administration, meanwhile, is playing down the importance of Gorbachev's announcement.
One senior White House official dismissed it as, quote, a lot of propaganda.
CBS correspondent Jacqueline Adams is with the president during his vacation in Santa Barbara for this report.
From his California ranch, President Reagan largely ignored Mikhail Gorbachev's decision to extend the Soviets' nuclear testing moratorium through the end of the year.
White House spokesman Larry Speaks said the U.S. position has not changed in the 12 months since Gorbachev first proposed the moratorium.
Weapons tests are needed to ensure the reliability, survivability, and effectiveness of the American nuclear deterrent.
Said Speaks, we believe a nuclear testing moratorium is not in our security interests nor that of our friends and allies.
Gorbachev, though, added a new twist.
He challenged President Reagan to sign a treaty banning nuclear tests at a U.S.-Soviet summit meeting later this year.
The Soviet Union is convinced that the agreement to curtail nuclear testing can be reached quickly and can even be signed this year at a Soviet-American summit.
Privately, administration officials see a lot of propaganda aimed at the Europeans in the Gorbachev speech.
A treaty banning all nuclear tests, they say, would be fine as long as it could be fully verified.
But officials here believe that a summit is on, regardless of whether there's an agreement to sign or not.

A team from the Federal Energy Department headquarters in Washington, D.C., is at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation
investigating circumstances surrounding the removal of radiation warning signs prior to a tour by the governor last year.
A spokesman for Rockwell Hanford says the three investigators were ordered in by the DOE to ensure proper procedures are being followed.
Results of that investigation are to be announced tomorrow.
The company has suspended three radiation detection managers for removing the signs from a contaminated area before Booth Gardner's tour, March 7, 1985.
The tour area is the site of a spill just two months before the governor's visit.
Last month's explosion at the FMC plant on Washington Avenue in Yakima has local officials re-evaluating their emergency response techniques.
At the same time, the investigation into the blast that injured six men continues.
Newspeed's Jennifer Kirby has this update.
Investigations of the FMC plant explosion are now in the cleanup stages.
However, whether or not any citations will be given won't be made public until later in the week.
A spokeswoman for FMC claims there is a possibility of a citation.
An official for the Department of Labor and Industry today said a complete health inspection has led to the final decisions, but the paperwork is still being processed.
Now FMC employees will cautiously continue what they had started out to do when the explosion occurred.
This time, before they continue to dismantle equipment and finish tearing down the facility,
workers will run precautionary tests searching for the dry chemical, elginol, that caused the explosion.
Today, fire officials critique their own methods of handling the emergency.
This happened to be a different situation. It was an explosion which we very seldom encounter here in Yakima, thank goodness.
The EMS part of the incident went very well. The people were transported to both hospitals very quickly,
and their injuries were reduced by some of the things that did happen on the emergency scene.
Fire officials did criticize, however, the number of civilians allowed near the scene.
We had a lot of people inside this fenced area here.
It was very obvious to me we did not need to have any civilians inside the fenced area.
Despite minor problems occurring on the scene, overall officials were pleased.
I'm Jennifer Kirby reporting for NewsVeet.
A Washington State prison inmate on work release with a firefighting crew was killed today when a burning tree fell on him.
25-year-old Cash Hopkins of Everett was pronounced dead on the scene before a helicopter could fly him to a nearby hospital.
Hopkins was working on the 200-acre Ace Creek fire in the Colville National Forest.
About 20 percent of that blaze is said to be contained, and crews expect to have a light around the rest of the blaze by 6 tomorrow night.
Two other fires that started late this afternoon have already been contained.
One of them was an 80-acre fire six miles southwest of Cashmere in Chelan County.
Meanwhile, the growing fire danger has resulted in the extension of logging and burning restrictions to more parts of Washington State.
Increased so-called Hutt-Hall restrictions go into effect at midnight, and they're to be enforced at least through Friday.
The new rules cover state-protected lands in Kittitas, Yakima, and Klickitat, along with 11 other central and eastern Washington counties.
Another accident over the weekend along the Ellensburg Canyon Highway has county and state authorities once again questioning the safety of that winding roadway.
Truckers are already banned from using the highway during certain months of the year.
And now, as NewsVeet's Kathy Comigy reports, officials are considering more precautions.
Police officials here called it incredible how Robert Gill apparently just veered off the Ellensburg Canyon Highway,
went through a guardrail, rolled down a 125-feet embankment into the river, and remained conscious, suffering only minor facial cuts and bruises.
The witness going north on the highway here observed the truck coming south and, for no apparent reason, just veered off the road, went over the embankment.
Appeared to be going at a pretty good clip.
And he was rescued by a mass helicopter?
Right. It took a while to get him out of the vehicle, but once we did, they had to either float him down the river or lift him out,
and the easiest way was just to use the helicopter and pick him up.
Gill was transported to St. Elizabeth.
