WASHINGTON — As ex

day endorsed a recommenda
tion that the United States put
MX missiles in strengthened ex
isting silos, saying the move will
“preserve stable deterrence and
thus protect the peace.”
and Congress rejected another.
He spoke after briefing congres

The panel, headed by retired
Gen. Brent Scowcroft, a former
national security affairs adviser,
recommended putting 100 of
the 10-warhead intercontinental
warhead missile.
Reagan said the proposed ac

and credibility to our efforts to
negotiate arms reductions that
can pave the way to a more se

Out-of-state libels debated
United Press International
WASHINGTON —The Sup
reme Court, taking up a $20 mil
lion case against the National
Enquirer, will consider whether
journalists must be prepared to
defend libel suits from around
the country.
The justices specifically will
examine whether reporters
working out of the Enquirer’s
Florida headquarters may be
sued in state court by Hollywood
actress Shirley Jones.
The weekly tabloid maintains
that the First Amendment’s free
press guarantee should be consi
dered before allowing reporters
to be sued by a person residing
in another, distant state.
Allowing journalists to be
sued for stories appearing far
away hampers reporting, and
can cost newspapers substantial
legal fees, the Reporters Com
mittee for the Freedom of the
Press told the court Monday.
“This puts an awesome finan
cial and psychological threat in
the hands of any person who
wants to intimidate an out-of-
state newspaper merely by
threatening to sue personally all
the individual reporters and edi
tors involved in the news arti
cles,” committee spokesman
Jack Landau said.
Under a California court’s
ruling, reporters and editors
must be prepared to travel
perhaps thousands of miles to
defend themselves individually,
hire out-of-town attorneys and
conduct their defense far away
from their homes and offices.
They sued the newsm

United Press International
WASHINGTON — New
housing construction slowed in
March, but not enough to spoil
the best first quarter in four
years, the Commerce Depart
ment says.
The March report of a 9.2
percent decline in the annual
rate of housing starts was re
garded by leading analysts more
as a sign of the strength of the
housing boom than of a setback.
It made the January-March
quarter’s beginning of 321,800
housing units the best first quar
ter since 1979, the department
said.
The report helped fuel Wall
Street’s optimism as Monday’s
eighth straight gain lifted the
Dow Jones industrial average to
still another record high.
The blue-chip average
climbed 11.90 points to a record
1,183.24, making the current
rally the biggest since a 76-point
jump during April 1975.
Federal Reserve Board eco
nomists reported earlier Mon
day that the housing boom was
spilling over into the industrial
sector as demand for construc
tion materials mounted.
Factory managers used 69.4
