■WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi-
■nt Reagan has decided to order a
fourth space shuttle to replace the
lost Challenger, and an industry
magazine says the vehicle would be
stationed at Vandenberg Air Force
base for use by the military when it is
completed in about 1992.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A 1969
memo by written by William H.
Rehnquist shows he helped plan
Army surveillance against antiwar
rotesters, although he later denied
aving substantial knowledge of the
program.
Rehnquist wrote the memo as a
Nixon administration Justice De
partment official.
The extent of his knowledge of
the program became crucial in 1972,
when — as a Supreme Court justice
— he declined to bow out of a case
brought by anti-Vietnam War pro
testers and cast the deciding vote
against them.
Rehnquist’s refusal to disqualify
himself from the case of Laird vs.
Tatum is one of the issues Senate op
ponents are using in an attempt to
derail his nomination as chief justice.
Before the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee voted 13-5 Thursday to rec
ommend confirmation, three Demo
cratic opponents said it was obvious
to them that Rehnauist had exten
sive knowledge of the military sur-

Stock market shows moderate gain
NEW YORK (AP) — The stock
Imarket continued its broad-based
jrally on Thursday, although
[gains moderated as trading
[slowed in what analysts described
[as a respite from advances earlier
[in the week.
The Dow Jones average of 30
[industrials, up 61.87 in tne three
Iprevious sessions, rose 0.42 to
11,844.91.
But as has been the case all
week, broad market indicators
showed gains and advancing is
sues outnumbered declining is
sues in New York Stock Exchange
trading, this time by about 5 to 3.
Analysts said many investors
moved to the sidelines Thursday
to wait for further indications of
the direction of interest rates, and
of whether the market advance
had the strength to continue.
13-year-old turns parents in for drugs
TUSTIN, Calif. (AP) — A 13-
year-old girl who fought with her
parents over their drug use fi
nally turned them in to police,
along with a trash bag of pills, pot
and cocaine she found at home,
officers said Thursday.
“She decided she was going to
have to do something, and she
did,” said Police Chief Charles
Thayer. “I heard she was a little
reluctant to do this, but she had
nowhere else to go.”
“It’s really the reverse of what
we hear of parents fighting and
fighting to keep their kids off of
drugs,” said police Capt. Fred
Wakefield.
Bobby Dale Young, 49, a bar
tender, and Judith Ann Young,
37, a U.S. Bankruptcy Court
clerk, were charged Thursday
with one count each of cocaine
possesion.
Houses may contain radioactive radon
WASHINGTON (AP) — As
many as 12 percent of the na
tion’s homes may contain unheal
thy levels of radioactive radon
gas, and people living in them
shouldn’t compound the problem
[ by smoking indoors, the Environ
mental Protection Agency said
Thursday.
The gas in those homes may
account for 2,000 to 8,000 annual
lung cancer deaths from radon, a
substantial portion of the 5,000 to
20,000 fatalities the agency esti- v
mates result from radon expo
sure, EPA officials said.
The gas concentration picked
as EPA’s new recommended ac
tion level is the equivalent of
smoking one-half pack of ciga-
rattes a day, Richard Guimond,
head of EPA’s radon program,
told a news conference.

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — A
gunman took three people hos
tage in their car Thursday morn
ing and was chased by police into
the Jet Propulsion Laboratory,
where the captives were set free
amid gunfire, authorities said.
No one was injured, and the
gunman remained barricaded in
side the complex through early
evening, police said.
The complex, center of the
United States’ unmanned space
exploration effort, was sealed off.
Scientists and employees cowered
in their offices, instructed not to
leave until the siege ended. But
late in the day, evacuation of
some of the 7,500 employes at the
lab began.
The three hostages — a white-
haired man and two women —
were driven away from JPL in a
police detective’s car.
Firemen battle blazes in five states
Heavy smoke hampered air
tankers Thursday, but more than
11,000 firefighters using heli-
j copters, bulldozers and shovels
gained ground against lightning-
j caused blazes that have charred
345,000 acres in five Northwest
ern states.
Crews in hardest-hit Idaho car
ved a fire line between advancing
flames and scores of houses about
40 miles north of Boise, and Ore
gon controlled a series of fire on
grazing land, although forest
fires still burned out of control.
Showers and lower tempera
tures helped slow flames in Mon
tana and the largest fire in Utah
was under control. Nevada’s big
gest grass fire was extinguished.
Throughout the Northwest,
more than 500 fires were sparked
by severe Sunday night thunder
storms.
Famed tenement house to be razed
MEXICO CITY (AP) —
Wrecking crews moved into place
Thursday to tear down Casa
Blanca, the tenement house that
housed the Children of Sanchez,
who told their stories in anthro
pologist Oscar Lewis’ study of
Mexico’s urban poor.
Although Casa Blanca was not
heavily damaged in earthquakes
last September, its demolition
falls under the government’s
earthquake reconstruction pro
gram.
“It’s something sentimental.
You’re leaving an entire life he
re,” said Luis Hernandez, who
was “Manuel” in the book.
Longtime Casa Blanca resi
dents who remember .Sanchez
and the filming of the movie on
his book, “The Children of San
chez,” readily acknowledge that it
is about the Hernandez family.
LTV retirees organize petition drive
veillance — and should have disqual
ified himself.
Rehnquist’s knowledge of the pro
gram in 1969 also goes to the ques
tion of credibility. Rehnquist indi
cated during his confirmation
hearings that he had not learned of
the Army surveillance program until
the May Day protests against the
war, which occurred in 1971.
“The evidence is clear he pre-
' pared a memo on military surveil
lance of civilians,” and then violated
“judicial ethics and judicial propriety
when he did not remove himself
from that case,” Sen. Howard Met-
zenbaum, D-Ohio, said Thursday.
Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said,
“It’s obvious he had to have known
the factual basis of that case.
“Everything points to his deciding
to sit on the case so he could cast the
deciding vote for the administration
he just left.”
And Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-
Mass., argued, “He sat on the very
case that upheld the very policy he
helped to make.”
In the Tatum case, Rehnquist
took what then was the unprece
dented step of issuing a memoran
dum explaining his reason for refus
ing to drop out.
In the memo, the justice denied
intimate knowledge of the surveil
lance program under challenge.
“Respondents’ reference ... to my
‘intimate knowledge of the evidence
underlying the . . . allegations’ seems
to me to make a great deal of very
little,” he wrote.
He added that his specific testi
mony before a Senate panel in 1971,
during which he mentioned an
Army computer printout containing
surveillance information, was sup-
B lied to him from another Justice
‘epartment office.
“I had then and have now no per
sonal knowledge of the arrange
ment, nor so far as I know have I
ever seen or been apprised of the
contents of this particular printout,”
he said.
Retirees of the LTV Steel Co. are
[gearing up for a petition drive to
make sure that life and health insur
ance benefits are permanently ex
tended beyond a six-month period
[agreed to in federal bankruptcy
court in New York.
Retirees will meet Saturday in Po-
|land, near Youngstown, to organize
[the drive that is planned to end with
[the delivery of petitions to the New 1
York bankruptcy court judge over
seeing LTV’s reorganization under
Chapter 11 bankruptcy laws.
Dallas-based LTV Corp. filed for
reorganization under Chapter 11 of
the Federal Bankruptcy Code on
July 17.
After initially severing the bene
fits, LTV restored them two weeks
ago, but only for six months.
Deaver’s lawyer
says dinner was
social occasion
WASHINGTON (AP) — An at
torney for lobbyist Michael K.
Deaver said Thursday that the for
mer presidential aide did nothing
wrong by entertaining three high-
level White House officials at a fancy
dinner party last March.
“Nothing in the law prohibits so
cial contacts with current govern
ment officials,” Randall J. Turk said
when asked about the March 13
party that Deaver hosted for Korean
Ambassador Kyung-Won Kim.
Deaver represents the Korean gov
ernment and the Daewoo Corp., a
Korean industrial company.
Records filed at the Justice De
partment’s foreign agents registra
tion unit show that David Waller,
then a senior associate counsel at the
White House; Dennis Thomas, the
top aide to White House Chief of
Staff Donald T. Regan, and Stephen
Danzansky, a special assistant to
President Reagan, were among the
60 guests who attended the party at
a posh hotel.
The dinner occurred about 10
months after Deaver left the White
House where he served as deputy
chief of staff.
According to recently released
congressional testimony, Fred Field
ing, the former White House coun
sel, warned Deaver in the summer of
1985 that he was prohibited from
lobbying top White House officials
until May 1986.
Each violation can lead to a maxi
mum penalty of two years in prison
and a $10,000 fine.
House OKs increase
in credit for Treasury
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
House approved an emergency
credit increase for the Treasury on
Thursday, setting up a confronta
tion with the Senate over plans to
strengthen the Gramm-Rudman
budget-balancing law.
The $73.3 billion borrowing boost
was passed 216-199 after the House
defeated an attempt by House Re
publicans to force action on a cost
cutting package that Democrats op
posed.
That sent the measure to the Sen
ate, where action on it was expected
Friday.
The Treasury has exhausted its
statutory debt limit of $2,079 tril
lion. Unless Congress approves an
increase before leaving this week for
its Labor Day recess, the govern
ment might default on its obliga
tions, according to Treasury offi
cials.
Democrats, saying it would be
dangerous to mix the debt increase
with other issues, killed a Republican
plan to pass about $7 billion in
spending cuts before taking up the
debt bill.
Car-bomb in Beirut kills 19,
wounds 90 in Christian area
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) — A car-
bomb blew up in a busy Christian
district Thursday, killing 19 people
and wounding 90. Witnesses said the
explosion tore whole balconies from
apartment houses and hurled them
through the air.
The blue Mercedes exploded at
the entrance to a seven-story apart
ment building owned by President
Amin Gemayel’s family, about 100
yards from St. Joseph Hospital in
the Dora district of Christian east
Beirut. No members of the presi
dent’s family lived in the building.
It was the fourth explosion in a
deadly duel of car bombings that has
killed 93 people and wounded 574
since July 28. Two cars have ex
ploded in the Christian sector and
two in Moslem west Beirut, but no
group has claimed responsibility for
any of them.
In another development, units
loyal to Christian militia commander
Samir Geagea crushed pro-Syrian

"Congress should not leave town
for three weeks before it shows it is
serious about deficit reduction,” said
Rep. Delbert L. Latta of Ohio, rank
ing Republican on the House Bud
get Committee.
But House Ways and Means Com
mittee Chairman Dan Rostenkowski,
D-I1L, said the debt bill needed
speedy passage.
Otherwise, he said, the Treasury
might be forced to use Social Secu
rity trust funds and default on some
of its obligations.
House Democratic Leader Jim
Wright of Texas promised the
House would complete necessary
budget cuts when it returns from the
recess.
The Republican initiative was
blocked on a 244-178 procedural
vote.
House Speaker Thomas P. O’Neil
Jr. said earlier Thursday he was not
sure the House can defeat Senate ef
forts, expected Friday, to attach an
automatic Gramm-Rudman budget
cut mechanism to the emergency
debt ceiling bill.

rebels within his Lebanese Forces,
the largest Christian militia, in a
counterattack that coursed through
three residential areas of east Beirut.
Police said rebel leader Maroun
Mashalani surrendered at midday.
His men had seized control of east
Beirut on Sunday in street battles
with Geagea loyalists.
The bomb blast at 10:05 a.m.
ripped the facades off the Gemayel
building and another across the
street, setting them ablaze, dev
astated 30 shops and wrecked 27
cars. It left a hole in the pavement
nine feet wide and nearly five feet
deep.
Rescuers used mobile metal lad
ders to evacuate trapped tenants
from the upper floors of wrecked
buildings. Tne street was awash with
water from fire hoses.
