An Equal Opportunity Employer NASA stands behind idea of space station HOUSTON (AP) — NASA is standing behind its complex and controversial space station concept, despite congressional directives and suggestions by a White House panel that the agency should pursue a sim pler, cheaper design. The station, called Freedom, is in tended to serve as a steppingstone for human exploration of the moon and Mars. The facility would provide a cru cial laboratory for testing how well humans can adapt to long stays in space that will be necessary for two- year Mars missions and potentially lucrative new manufacturing proc esses in the weightlessness of space. Space policy experts, however, ex pressed worry in recent interviews that National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s design changes may be too timid, the Houston Chronicle reported. At stake in the review process are the size, capability and cost of the station as well as its launch schedule. The review is expected to be com pleted in late February, 120 days af ter the congressional mandate. Within recent days, the space agency has obtained a 30-day exten sion from Congress to continue re vamping the $35-billion plan beyond a Jan. 22 deadline imposed on NASA by lawmakers last fall. NASA’s chief spokesman for the project said top station officials may seek additional extensions and that the agency has not ruled out more sweeping changes. The Johnson Space Center in Houston is one of four major NASA facilities involved in the Freedom’s development and would control the activities of the astronauts assigned to assemble it as well as live aboard. In October, Congress instructed NASA to spend 90 days scaling back a design that concerned advocates and critics alike. The directive accompanied a $500 million funding cut for the massive project this year and a warning from lawmakers that NASA should cut nearly $6 billion in proposed station spending through 1997. Taco Bell murders reach five Executives say they trust security DALLAS (AP) — Executives of a national fast-food chain say security is effective, despite five deaths at its Dallas-area restaurants in the past month. Three men and a pregnant 16- year-old girl were found shot to death in a Taco Bell restaurant in Ir ving early Saturday after police dis covered a take-out sack stuffed with money in a car they stopped several blocks away. Three employees, two of whom were cousins, and a fourth victim were shot “execution style” during a robbery and left in a walk-in freezer, police said. The victims were identified as res taurant manager Michael J. Phelan, 28, of Fort Worth; Theresa Fraga, 16, of Irving; her cousin, Frank Fraga, 23, of Dallas; and Son Trong Nguyen, 35, of Irving. Nguyen was a friend of the woman and came to drive her home, police said. Fraga had a 1-year-old daughter and was six-months pregnant, family members said. Jessy Carlos San Miguel, 19, the driver of the car, and Jerome Mike Green, 17, a passenger and an em ployee at the Taco Bell restaurant, were arraigned on capital murder charges Saturday. Bond was denied to both men, who face formal charges Monday, Irving Police Capt. T.J. Hall said. Hall said Green had not reported to work in about a week. San Miguel was out on bond in connection with three burglary cases, he said. It was the second robbery-slaying at a Dallas-area Taco Bell restaurant this month.

He said he didn’t foresee any ma jor changes for the security system, but declined to discuss specifics or how security may have been breached in the two armed robberies at Paco Bell restaurants this month. On Jan. 7, Jennifer Soto, 19, night manager of a Taco Bell in suburban DeSoto, was shot and stabbed to death. A former employee of the restaurant is one of two men charged with capital murder in con nection with Soto’s killing. “We have all the security you can implement here,” an unidentified manager of a Dallas Taco Bell told the Dallas Morning News. “There’s only so much security you can putin before you are going to get an armed fortress.” &X)P.

Madison VILNIUS, U.S.S.R. (AP) — A So viet army captain shot a Lithuanian at a military checkpoint Sunday, and officials of the breakway republic said they have begun keeping a re cord of brutality inflicted on their citizens, a government spokesman said. Government spokesman Audrius Azubalis said a Soviet patrol stopped the Lithuanian, who was driving a car with two hitchhikers about 1 a.m. The driver was asked to get out of the car and put his hands on the windshield. A shot fired at the ground by the captain, apparently as a warning, ri cocheted and hit the man in the leg. The Lithuanian, identified as A. Shalkingas, was taken to a Vilnius hospital for treatment. Azubalis also said the last of six Lithuanians seized after a shooting incident involving paratroopers Thursday was released, then taken to a hospital for treatment of a con cussion. The Lithuanian Health Ministry reported a similar case Saturday in Kaunas, 60 miles west of Vilnius, where a man detained Jan. 24 by the military was released and taken to a hospital suffering from a concussion and arm fractures. The commander of the Soviet Army garrison had warned Saturday that his troops were getting “more and more out of control.” Troops have been patrolling ma jor cities in Lithuania and the high ways that connect them since a week end of; violence two weeks ago claimed 14 lives and injured more than 500 people. Azubalis said the Interior Ministry and other departments of the repub lic’s government are formally log ging incidents of Soviet brutality. He said the government of Lithu ania, with about 3.7 million resi dents, had also agreed with rep resentatives of the Soviet prosecutor’s office to work on a joint investigation of all the incidents. The republics of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia are seeking indepen dence from the Soviet Union. Stalin forcibly incorporated the three Bal tic countries, which were indepen dent between the two world wars, into the Soviet Union in 1940. In another development, former Prime Minister Kazimiera Pru- nskiene telephoned the Lithuanian news agency Elta to deny a report that she had fled the country and asked for political asylum in Switzer land.
