WASHINGTON (AP) - Republicans say a financial lifeline for the U.S. Postal Service violates budget control agreements and they'll try to block it should it come up for a vote today. The mail agency, teetering on the brink of bankruptcy, would get roughly $11 billion under the bill -- basically a refund of overpayments to a federal retirement fund.

 

     LONDON (AP) - The decade ending in 2010 has seen measles deaths decline globally by about 75 percent, with Africa and India remaining hot spots where too few children are being immunized. The World Health Organization study is in the journal Lancet. Despite the major decline the WHO did not meet its goal to reduce measles deaths by 90 percent by 2010.

 

     WASHINGTON (AP) - The cost of college loans is President Barack Obama's main theme at university speeches today and tomorrow to woo young voters. But he has an ally in likely Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Both men favor freezing the current interest rates on a popular federal loan for poorer and middle-class students.

 

     MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) - Five Republican presidential primaries are expected to go Mitt Romney's way today, all but wrapping up the GOP nomination process. Voters in New York, Connecticut, Delaware, Rhode Island and Pennsylvania are set to cast ballots. Romney plans a speech in New Hampshire.

 

     TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - The first public comment from the family of an Arizona girl who has been missing since the weekend comes in a statement released through police. The statement says they won't give up looking for Isabel Celis (SEHL'-uhs) and they thank volunteers who have helped in the search.

 

SANFORD, Fla. (AP) - While George Zimmerman is free on bail, the police chief criticized for not charging him after Trayvon Martin's slaying is still under scrutiny. City commissioners have decided want to wait for the results of a federal investigation to decide if they will accept Chief Bill Lee's resignation. It could take months before Sanford commissioners have the information they say they need.

 

     TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - A federal court review of Florida's new election law is going to extend into July, just a month before the Aug. 14 primary. A Department of State spokesman says Florida is prepared to use two election laws if a court in Washington doesn't rule before the primary. Opponents say some provisions discriminate against minorities, the elderly and young people.

 

     SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) - A federal judge in California has tentatively decided to dismiss most New Yorkers' and Floridians' claims in class-action litigation over the unintended acceleration of Toyota vehicles. Plaintiffs in the two states cannot claim that Toyota owes them for lost value if their vehicles didn't have the acceleration problem.

 

     CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) - A private U.S. company has delayed launching a cargo ship to the International Space Station. Space Exploration Technologies Corp., or SpaceX, was scheduled to launch the supply ship next Monday.
