Askew was asked during his con firmation hearings before the Senate Finance Committee if it was true he had said when he was governor that he would not hire a known homosexual. "I have said I would not have a known homosexual on my staff," Askew replied. "That is still my feeling." Asked if he would continue that policy as trade negotiator, Askew said, "To my knowledge, the people on my board are heterosexual."

(UPI) The Nuclear Regulatory Commission yesterday ordered a shutdown of a plant making highly enriched uranium for Navy submarines because some of its nuclear fuel was apparently missing. Officials said there was no• danger of a health hazard. An NRC spokesman at the plant said inspection teams from Atlanta and Washington were supervising an inventory of the fuel at the Nuclear Fuel Services Inc. facility. "It is an orderly shutdown," said Frank Gillespie, NRC regional chief of materials control and accounting. "They (company officials) are simply ceasing the input of material into the manufacturing process.

The acquisition is the largest in the group's 47-year history. The Cherry Run project straddles Big Fishing Creek, between State College and Lock Haven, adjacent to Bald Eagle State Forest. Cherry Run is a native brook trout streaM so pure and remote that the Pennsylvania Fish Commission has Askew's ,response was greeted by hisses from some members of the audience. "Then you are saying that to the extent the federal law lets you, you will not hire a known homosexual?" Sen. Bob Packwood, R-Ore., asked. "Yes, sir," Askew replied. Askew, while governor, supported singer Anita Bryant's successful campaign to prevent homosexuals from teaching in Miami public schools. Gay rights activists urged the committee to reject Askew's nomination to replace Robert Strauss. But, committee chairman Russell Long, D-La., told reporters that Askew's nomination would probably be confirmed this morning. spoke of the need for US. cooperation and his China initiative in a toast to Chinese Vice Premier Deng Xiaoping and other Chinese and American officials attending a banquet in his honor hosted by Deng in the Great Hall of the People last night. Nixon warned that if the two countries fail to work together "not only our survival but the survival of others who are threatened by such aggression will be in deadly peril." above increases already projected by the budget committee. These targets for the two later years are not bin.: ding. The Senate's first action would provide a $l6 billion increase in defense spending in 1980 compared to that in 1979. This would amount to a 3 percent "real" increase after allowing for inflatiori. The second vote would provide for "real" increases of 5 percent in 1981 and 1982 above inflation. • The Senate's actions brought its total budget prOposal for 1980 so far to $546.3 billion with a deficit of $31.6 billion. It will continue work on the budget today. • HARRISBURG (AP) Senate Democrats, claiming they are protecting voters' rights, yesterday knocked down two of Gov. Dick Thornburgh's county appointments. By identical 26-12 party line votes; the Senate defeated the nominations of Stephen Barninger as Perry County coroner and Betty Kinports as,. York County treasurer. Both are Republicans. "We believe they would have had an advantage," said Democratic Leader EdWard Zemprelli of Allegheny County. He said both persons are can didates in the November elections for the offices and Senate confirmation could have been viewed as .an en dorsement. "We feel the decision should be left to the voters," Zemprelli said. The FEC now must revise its proposals and resubmit them to Congress. The Federal Communications Commission had asked Congress to reject the regulations, saying the FEC was interfering with its responsibilities of regulating the electronic' media. The measure to kill the regulations, which would have become effective automatically unless vetoed, was sponsoreo by Sens. Clairborne Pell, D-R.1., and Mark Hatfield, R-Ore., the chairman and ranking minority member of the Senate Rules Com mittee. the process 6f getting the plant ready for inventory," he said. An NRC spokesman in Washington said the order, issued by Robert Burnett, director of the NRC's division of safeguards, was unusual. Burnett declined to reveal how much fuel was missing. Gillespie said he was not in a position to speculate on the missing fuel but said . "we have no suspicions at the present time." Gillespie said the missing fuel was not of a high radiation level and not considered a health hazard. Under NRC rules, a plant is required to close if the inventories made every two months turn up a discrepancy of more than 9 kilograms of highly enriched uranium. designated it a "wilderness trout stream."

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (UPI) Afghanistan's President Nur Moham mad Taraki, who was shot by rightist raiders four days ago while presiding 'over a Cabinet meeting, died yesterday, Moslem rebels sources said. The sources said Taraki, 62, was shot nine times Friday while attending a meeting of the Revolutionary Council at the palace in the Afghanistan capital of Kabul. Reports earlier said Taraki died that same day, but hospital sources in Kabul said he did not die until yesterday. Sunday, two • days after the attack, Afghanistan's Radio Kabul said Taraki had resign6d for health reasons and would be succeeded by American educated Prime Minister Hafizullah Amin, who is believed to have had the real, power in Afghanistan for some time. A fluent Russian speaker w,ho is even more of afhardline Marxist than Taraki, Amin made his first address to the nation as president yesterday but made no direct mention of the deposed president. In the broadcast, he said only that "self-centered and notorious elements. who started the conflict with our working classes have been eliminated." ~~ ~. The rebel sources, based at Peshawar, Pakistan, said , an estimated 100 persons died in the rightist attack on the palace, including Taraki's bodyguard, Sayed Daoud Taroon. They did not identify the attackers. The rebels, wtio have been waging a 17-month-old war against the pro-Soviet s regime in Kabul, said their information came from sources inside Afghanistan. In Washington, the State Department yesterday reiterated earlier concerns about any "direct Soviet intervention" in the internal affairs of Afghanistan. "Our concern about any kind of Soviet intervention in that situation has been expressed repeatedly," spokesman Hodding Carter said. He also told reporters, "I have no confirmation on the reports that Taraki was killed. We have seen and heard reports that certain persons were shot during the course of the coup." Taraki came to power April 17, 1978, in a military coup, but his efforts to direct the mountainous, landlocked nation of 20 million persons toward •Marxist socialism have been met with strong opposition from the conservative Moslem clergy who fear the destruction of their religious traditions. v 41 1.4 ***************Ibe • iimbembobta++ 0, The Ladybug Hairworks salon presents Jack Crouch, 11 0 a&a Jhirmack educator and hair consultant from Cali-. 4. fornia.

Firefighters stopped the flames short of both the school and the subdivision. Several homes were evacuated along Sulphur Mountain Road in the Ojai Valley and the American Red Cross set up a shelter at a local high school. To the south, in the Angeles National Forest, more than 3,000 people, in cluding support personnel under supervision of the U.S. Forest Service, joined in the fight against the Sage and Monte fires. Ashes from the blazes were deposited on homes in metropolitan Los Angeles. The Sage fire had charred more than 30,000 acres before spreading into the San Gabriel wilderness and threatening wildlife and the primitive environment. Also threatened by the Sage fire was a prime recreational area, the Charleton Chilao campground along Angeles Crest Highway. Temperatures were in the 90s, not quite as hot as in the last few days, and winds diminished to 8 to 16 miles per hour, giving rise to some optimism among the firefighters in Angeles forest. The Monte fire, burning parallel to the Sage fire and to the northwest of it, was open on the southern end but was bur ning slowly. The Monte blaze had charred 4,800 acres and at one point was only a . mile from linking with the Safe fire in the mountainous areas of the forest. "The Monte fire is on the site of "We are looking at the possibility that this is a problem that might involve more than one aircraft, and if we do get any indication that it is a widespread problem we would order inspection of all DC-95," FAA spokesman Fred Farrar said in Washington. A federally ordered inspection could, depending on its complexity, create problems for airlines relyirig on the DC-9. A visual check would not necessarily disrupt service, but orders to X-ray questionable parts of the plane could • create scheduling problems for some airlines, officials said. Farrar said more than 300 DC-9s are now operated by U.S. airlines; making the DC-9 one of the more popular commercial airliners. There are several 'variations of the DC-9. Air Canada said it believed any problem with the bulkhead would be confined to the Series 30 of the plane. Nearly 600 of that model are in operation around the world. Air Canada said it also has three shorter DC -9s of a different series. q killifinigsto ftimmallairwer 0 another fire two years ago so there's not much left to burn," said information officer Carol Lindsay of the U.S. Forest Service.

In Los Angeles, authorities prepared to file charges against four teenagers accused of igniting the multimillion dollar blaze in the Laurel Canyon area of Hollywood. The youths were arrested Sunday afternoon moments after the blaze broke out in brush and engulfed 24 expensive canyon homes and destroyed 17 cars. • To the east of Los Angeles, two new fires broke out in San Bernardino, where two other fires were already burning.

A roaring brush fire Monday de stroyed 24 homes and 17 cars. The 38 passengers on an Air Canada flight from Boston to Yarmouth and Halifax, Nova Scotia, were horrified when the rear 10 feet of the plane separated from the fuselage with a loud bang and roar of escaping air, leaving them staring at a gaping hole where the rest rooms once stood. The plane limped 70 miles back to Boston and landed safely. One flight attendent was slightly injured and three passengers were treated at an airport aid station. The DC-9 is manufactured by McDonnell Douglas. Inc. the company which makes the DC-10, which was grounded in the United States earlier this year after the nation's worst air disaster.
