Rejoicing over defeat -- Pledge of Resistance members celebrated the defeat of the contra aid plan in Congress with a rally Friday in front of Reuss Federal Plaza. The demonstration originally was scheduled to protest the $30.8 million plan to aid the Nicaraguan rebels, but the plan's unexpected defeat Thursday by the US House turned a demonstration into a celebration, said Sister Margaret Dunn, a spokeswoman for the Pledge of Resistance.
