The trouble developed early yesterday while engineers were clearing the shuttle engine systems with helium gas. One of the two valves designed to minimize launch vibrations popped open for no apparent reason: The soundness of the valve was not in question. The problem was a short circuit in a wire between between a control box and the valve, a space agency announcement said. Technicians were wiring the valve to the same load controller assembly that was operating the other valve properly. Because of the problem, some of the launch crews were assigned to work through the first 8-hour scheduled "hold" period, a rest period built-in so such catch-up work can be performed. Prem, who fled to the northeast Thai army base Korat when the coup .was launched early Wednesday morning, said Saturday that the captured coup leaders would be treated fairly and tried by a military court. Those who took part in the rebellion but returned to barracks before Thursday evening would be par doned, he said. The•prime-minister flew into Badgkok later Saturday, then returned to Korat. The thousands of government troops used in Friday's swift and well-executed operation crushing the coup attempt were pulled out of the city Saturday, except for those guarding Prem's office and residence and a few other buildings.

They spent the weekend in Houston, in trainers simulating critical portions of their journey, intending to fly to the Cape in T-38 trainers on Wednes day. There are 73 hours of work to be done in the countdown. But to accommodate last minute problems, six holds, totaling 30 hours and 20 minutes, also are scheduled, including one that lasts almost 12 hours and two that are eight hours each. In the Apollo flight days of the late 60s and early 70s, the countdown went on for days longer and required 550 people in the firing room to monitor operations.

Spy novelist claims traitors in services JERUSALEM (AP) British spy nov elist Graham Greene said yesterday he believes the world's secret services are riddled with traitors, but he discounted allegations.that the late British spymas ter Sir Richard Hollis was a Soviet agent. The 76-year-old author and former intelligence officer, who rarely holds news conferences, told reporters spies "begin to feel a game rather than a cause and begin to play the game both sides." He called a• report that Hollis, head of Britain's MI-5 counter-intelligence agen cy for nine years, may have been a Soviet spy "an obvious piece of disinformation originating probably in Russia." He of fered no explanation to support his statement. British reporter Chapman Pincher; in a book excerpted last month in London's Daily Mail, said top-level investigators had looked into the possiblity that Hollis was a double . agent. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher told Parliament there was no evidence incriminating Hollis, who died in 1973, but she launched a new probe of Britain's security serv ices.

Lebanese call cease-fire BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) The Leb anese government yesterday announced another cease-fire the 16th in five days in some of the worst fighting among Syrians, Christian militiamen and the Lebanese army, but the defense minister was not optimistic it would hold. Lebanon's ambassador to the United Nations was quoted as saying his half Christian, half Moslem nation of 3 million people "now finds itself at the limits of survival." A spokesman for Lebanese President Elias Sarkis said the Syrian peacekeep ing force, the Lebanese national army and Phlange Party right-wing Christian militias agreed to stop shooting at each other at the Moslem-Christian dividing line Beirut and the city of Zahle, 30 miles east of the capital. "It's been very quiet," 'said Francois , Ghattas, a communications technician for The Associated Press who lives near the "Green Line" dividing Beirut. "We're out of the shelters." The state radio said the shelling had stopped in Zahle and joint patrols were being formed from Syrian and Lebanese troops to "police and consolidate the cease-fire." But Defense Minister Joseph Skaf was evidently not optimistic about the life expectancy of the standdown. "We've had 15 cease-fires in the past four days and none really got off the ground," he said.

HINDY Associated Press Writer BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) President Saddam Hussein is talking tough about conquering more Iranian territory and buying weapons to restock Iraq's de pleted armory, but observers here see no clear way for his nation to win the 6- month-old war with Iran. "What has everyone around here de pressed about the prospects for a nego tiated settlement is that there seems to, be no government in Iran to negotiate with," said a Western diplomat, who asked not to be identified. Iraq appeared ready to accept a cease fire plan proposed by Islamic Conference mediators last month. But when Iran rejected it, Hussein reverted to Iraq's original hardline stand: no withdrawal and no peace until Iran recognizes Iraq's sovereignty over disputed border areas. kgroup of non-aligned nations want to renew their peace efforts and during a meeting in New Delhi yesterday, an Indian government official said Iran opened the "possibility" of receiving a delegation next weekend.

That 19-month conflict took 37,000 lives and devastated the nation. The Phalangists charge the Syrians have become an army of occupation. Israel Radio said the continuing vio lence in the Jewish • state's northern neighbor was a major topic of discussion between Prime Minister Menachem Be gin and Secretary of State Alexander M.

Police spokesman Benjamin Sims said Larry Rogers was last seen seven days ago entering a car near his home. Police and relatives say he had never been known to run away. "We're still looking for him like we would any other missing person— ques tioning friends, neighbors, families and the works," said Police Sgt.

U.N. Ambassador Ghassan Tueni, quoted in the English language Lebanese weekly "Monday Morning," said, "I think we've never been nearer to parti tion in Lebanon than we are today." _ Tueni, here taking part in efforts to end the 'fighting, said the Syrians' combat with the Lebanese regular army ' has "gravely eroded the credibility " of the Syrian force. He proposed replacement of the Syrians with a mixed peacekeep ing contingent from Arab countries and the United Nations. Syrian Foreign Minister Abdul Halim Khaddam was quoted as saying 7,ahle was essential to the security of Bekaa province and that the Bekaa valley was "part of Syria's natiopal security." The Syrians, who see the Phalangists as pontential allies of Israel, have long considered Bekaa their vulnerable flank. They say Israel might try to attack Damascus, the Syrian capital, through the valley rather than the heavily armed defense lines facing Israeli positions in the occupied Golan Heights. The Syrians, stationed on the Moslem side of Beirut's "Green Line," have denied firing on Lebanese army positions on the other side. Their communiques claimed Syrian fire was concentrated on Phalangists in the capital. all Iranian nationalities and patriotic movements.so that they will be able to topple Iran's present backward regime and replace it with an easy-to-commu nicate-with regime," he said.

UPI wlrephoto Women's options discussed By LAURA MCNULTY Daily Collegian Staff Writer The creation of a woman's self is the most important creative act of her life, said a University professor of English and humanities at a women's conference Satur day. PThere is a danger for ourselves as being peripheral characters to our own stars," Joanne Trautmann said. "We are our own stars." Trautmann addressed a crowd of approximately 250 that attended the Alumni Association conference for women at the University. The conference, entitled "Women: Options Matter Especially Now," allowed women to discuss their problems and successes with old classmhtes, new acquaintances and numerous prominent female grad uates of the Univeriity. Trautmann said women should lead individual lives because there are dangers to leading a resume life as opposed to one that consists of a woman's own personal story. "I'm getting very worried about the resume standing for ourselves. It disturbs me when we think of ourselves as a collection of epithets," Trautmann said. Drawing from her experience of compiling the 4,000 letters of Virginia Wolfe, she discussed women's friendships, contrasting them to the intimate relationships between 18th- and 19th-century women.

In closing, Trautman quoted Virginia Wolfe: "Friend, let me create you. 'You have done as much for me." The only workshop which included input from men was one on the topic of dual career couples and chang ing lifestyles. Nancy Kidd, associate professor of counseling and psychology at the Community College of Rhode Island, was the principal speaker The contributing panel consisted of Thomas Kidd, Sylvia Stein, Dr. Gerald Stein and Nancy Chiswick. Kidd stressed the importance of sharing domestic responsibilities and the problems of one partner having to 'commute long distances to his or her place of work. "A big problem is relocation. Location problems show negative effects on the wife's career, not the husband's," she said. Kidd said dual career marriages can work, but they require "continuous negotiation" and ingredients like trust, caring and positive regard for one another's needs. Sylvia Stein said, "Plan ahead.

Madelyn Nix, a black lawyer from the Lancaster area, and Marylee Taylor, assistant professor of socio logy, led the discussion. Comparisons were made between job statuses of black and white women and men, along with their average yearly salaries. "There's a great push to get women into non-tradi tional jobs," Taylor said. Nix said black women in construction and menial labor are there "for very racist reasons." One of these reasons is fulfillment of minority hiring quotas, she said. Particularly with black. women, the theory of two birds with one stone is often used in the job market, she said. Women coping with discrimination and having to defend their positions when they have achieved high status was discussed by the panel. Taylor said, "There's a culture, typically white males, that is threatened when an outsider comes in." Nix said, "I personally feel that we are our own worst enemies. It has nothing to do with black or white. We just have not learned what to do with ourselves when we achieve."

University women will have the opportunity to battle in mud, dirt and slop to raise money for the American Diabetes Association. Delta Sigma Phi fraternity is sponsoring a women's mud wres tling contest at 1 p.m. Saturday at 508 Locust Lane. The contest is open to all fraternity little sisters, sorori ty members and independents. Chairman Mike Walters said, "The response has been pretty good considering it is a first-time event. We are hoping to make it an annual fund-raiser." Walters said the battling ground will be a 10 feet by 10 feet padded ring with three inches of sterilized topsoil. "We will only have three inches of mud at the most," Walters said. "They are not supposed to be wal lowing in it it is just an effect to make it interesting and easy for them to slip."
