News reports said young West Germans gained regular access to at least 20 computers of the U.S. space agency and had the ability to par alyze the entire network. The ARD television network said a flaw in the network’s security sys tem allowed the hackers to enter the network from May to September. The NASA system connects more than 1,600 computers worldwide that share information on space re search, nuclear physics and molecu lar biology, ARD said. The network includes U.S. atomic research facili ties in Los Alamos, N.M. The Hamburg-based magazine Stern reported similar information. “When I saw ‘Welcome to the NASA headquarters . . . installation’ on my screen, I was a little shocked, to say the least,” the magazine quoted one youth as saying. The Hamburg-based “Chaos Computer Club" said in a statement to news media Tuesday that the youths turned to the club for help when they realized the enormity of their discovery. The statement said the hackers penetrated the network to show the “unbelievable weaknesses" of the se curity system and had no interest in the secret data. The reports did not say how many hackers were involved or where they lived. In Washington, the National Aeronautics and Space Administra tion said it was preparing a statement. Stern said the hackers, a term used for amateurs who gain access to private computer systems, obtained NASA memos to employees on daily space shuttle program updates and on how to deaf with the media. The magazine, quoting one youth’s records of computer trans actions, said the hackers were able to read users' electronic mail and had the ability to paralyze the entire net work. In one of the most serious security breaches, the hac l, “-5 chained NASA information on spaa projects, computer securin and rocket boosters, the a network said. Scientists in at least t\f: countries besides the Uniit: are linked to the computer:! Stern said the system is a "Space Physics Analysis Nr or SPAN. In addition to the NASA a ers, the hackers gained ac computers at some of Euroa sophisticated research im.. including the Europeat Agency in Darmstadt, Vs many; the European Nuda search Center in Geneva.;: European laboratory foi h Biology in Heidelberg, Wa many. ARD said the hackenjt more than 200 pages of dec fjertaining to entry into tl* computers for Tuesday nip vision broadcast. The computer club said ’ etration was discovered!: and all organizations tha;: network were notified. .

But Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar gave no indication before he flew out of Baghdad for New York of how successful his quest had been. Perez de Cuellar spent two days talking with top Iranian government leaders in Tehran, then flew to the Iraqi capital Sunday night for talks with President Saddam Hussein, Foreign Minister Tariq Aziz and other senior Iraqis. Tehran radio, monitored in Nic osia, Cyprus, quoted Prime Minister Hussein Musavi as declaring: "The days when arms embargos and eco nomic sanctions had any effect on our resolve or war effort are over.” A tacit truce in the tanker war in the gulf held for a sixth day. Aziz declared after Perez de Cuel lar left that Iran “has rejected the resolution and is playing the game of gaining time.” He insisted that the council’s July A U.N. source who traveled with Perez de Cuellar spoke to reporters Monday night on condition he was not named. The source said he noted a “sense of moderation” on the Iranian side. But Iraqi officials and media dismissed the reported flexibility. Iraq says it will comply with the resolution if Iran does. Tehran has not given a definitive response. Auto urSorr to extend 3 S C contracts LUBBOCK embered on DEARBORN, Mich.

Redman said. He said the PLO could maintain its New York office, which has “observer status” at the United Nations and that no harm would come from allowing this branch of the PLO to remain untouched. Redman said the Washington office had operated as a foreign mission and therefore could be closed despite the First Amendment’s free-speech and free-association guarantees. However, the State Department official said the United States “fully supports the legitimate rights of the id respei ars and Cow ndry said on : patience ar vit of the nosedi It’s difficult e this,” Landr’ battle.

DO YOU KNOW THE SCORE? There are a lot of computer dealers all saying that they have the best deal. So how can that be? We at Comput ers, Etc. Have designed a little score card to help you make an informed decision based on data analysis rather than emotional impulse. Along that line, we might say a few words about our selves. We don't believe in glass and chrome shelves, neon lights, or extensive display salons. More to the point, we don't believe our customers should pay a higher price for a computer in order to finance a lot of glitz when the only purpose of it is to trigger that emo tional impulse to separate a customer from his money. In a way, it almost seems like tricking you into shooting yourself. We would rather you put your money into a computer that works like a Ferrarri and costs like a roller skate, in stead of the other way around. The MB models in the table are our hot new series of Hi Tech LoCost machines just introduced, while those with an asterisk are historically our most popular configura tions. But any configuration is available at the lowest possible cost. For example, we could catch your attention with an even much lower price by selling a computer with only one disk drive, but we would be doing you a disservice which would be apparent the first time you needed to copy a bunch of files from one disk to another. You'd have to change diskettes at least twice for each file, maybe more than twice, depending on file length. So if you do want only one drive, please look out for developing a case of diskette elbow. Or, maybe we should quote a vastly lower price by not including a monitor, as if you don't care that you can't see what you're doing. Or, maybe we could cut back on the memory with only 256KB RAM instead of 640KB or 1MB (1024KB), if you write programs with only about five or six instructions. Or, we could go with an underrated power supply in stead of our fully adequate 180 Watt units, if you enjoy the aroma of electrical devices sizzling. Maybe we could just let you think you're getting more than you really are, by the all too common practice of representing our B-bit processors as being 16-bits.
