Askew: No homosexuals
WASHINGTON (UPI) Former
Florida Gov. Reubin Askew said
yesterday he would not hire any
homosexuals if he is confirmed as the
president's special representative for
trade negotiations.
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."
Nixon stresses cooperation
PEKING (UPI) Former
President Richard Nixon said
yesterday that, as long as the United
States and China work together,

peace maintained.
Nixon, on his third visit to China,
also said the opening of the door to
normal relations between
Washington • and Peking was the
greatest achieveMent of his ad

Defense spending hike OK'd
WASHINGTON ( UPI) -- The
Senate voted yesterday to add $25
billion to U.S. defense spending over
the next three years, including the 3
percent • "real - increase President
Carter had endorsed, while shaving
$3.6 billion from domestic prograths.
The action was taken in two. votes
as the Senate considered the federal
budget for 1980.
First it voted 78 to 19 to add $3.2
billion to the $127.4 billion , defense
figure proposed by its budget com-
mittee, bringing it 'to the $130.6 billion
figure recently endorsed by Carter.
Then, by a vote of 55 to 42, the
Senate approved $21.7, billion in
defense spending for 1981 'and 1982,
State appointments rejected
Gov. Dick ThorOur:gh.
Senate kills debate regulations
WASHINGTON (UPI) Federal
Election Commission regulations
which would have made it illegal for
television networks, newspapers and
wire services to sponsor campaign
debates were killed by voice vote in
the Senate yesterday.
The controversial regulations also .
would have allowed the League of
Women Voters to accept union and
labor funds in sponsoring presidential
debates.
The FEC • proposals were widely
condemned by the news media
because of the limitation they put on
the First Amendment rights of free
speech and press.
Uranium plant forced to close
ERWIN, Tenn. (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. It is
Group acquires county land
PITTSBURGH (AP) The
Western Pennsylvania Conservancy
said yesterday it has acquired 12,670
acres of wild mountain land
surrounding Cherry Run in Centre
and Clinton counties.
The acquisition is the largest in the
group's 47-year history.
The Cherry Run project straddles

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.

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.

only our survival but the survival of
others who are threatened by such

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.

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.

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.

stopped the flames short of both the

Several homes were evacuated along

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.

"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.

Lindsay reported 192 minor injuries
such as blisters, eye irritation and sore
throats among the firefighting per

Eight air tankers were assigned to the
two fires along with seven helicopters, 29
bulldozers and 87 fire engines.

In Los Angeles, authorities prepared

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

two other fires were already burning.
The earlier fires charred 1,700 acres

three passengers were treated at an airport aid station.
