Parents of quints have pressing need NEPTUNE, N.J.

(AP) A chorus of children sang "Happy Birthday" and threw confetti Thursday as conductor Leonard Bernstein celebrated his 65th birthday as the honored guest of the town where he was born. He wore a sky blue armband for peace, and with his 85-year-old mother at his side, he urged an end to the nuclear arms race.

Bernstein said he had several invitations for his birthday, including appearances at the Hollywood Bowl, at Tanglewoo with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and at Radio City Music Hall with the New York Philharmonic. "Everybody had a great idea how to celebrate this, and I didn't like any of them. It seemed kind of a pompous way to celebrate one's birthday, without any meaning to it." So he came to Lawrence. arch for Noah's Ark cailcd off JSTANtU'L, Turkey AIi Stormy has forced former I'S Jamr Irwin to altan don his search of Mount Ararat for the legendary resting place of Noah's ark, an official in a town near the mountain said Thursda irwin and a party of 20 Americans uint to I'oiiu-beyait, a town in eastern Turkey, last Thursday to their scan of the mountain's north face The (limbers were forced to suspend their limbs Sunday and Monday because of fierce winds and storms, and they returned to the base of the mountain Wednesday, the local official said in a telephone interview.

Quern of Hearts such King of Torts SAN FRANCISCO (Al'i Melvin Iklli, the renowned lawyer known as the "King of Torts," has been sued by the "Queen of Hearts," a divorce lawyer who says she tripped in Belli's cluttered courtyard. Iris Mitgang said in her suit filed in Superior Court earlier this month that she tripped Aug. 4 in the courtyard of Belli's Montgomery Street offices while on the way to a meeting with him. "I can't say what I tripped over," she said in an interview Wednesday from her Walnut Creek office, claiming the yard was cluttered with garden equipment. "I didn't fall all the way to the ground.

My leg buckled under me. I was in great pain the entire day." Mif gang said her foot still pains her, making her unable to walk or run swiftly. She said she required steroid treatment and may need surgery. Mitgang, whose law partners have dubbed her "Queen of Hearts" because she handles divorces, didn't specify how much money she wanted to settle the case. Studio fire damages sound stage and sets '-1 a UJ -HT i 4 tIwv --Ji is I Urn' zJ.i i t-t" AP wlrcphoto to be caused by arson, but the case was under investigation, he said.

"It was like a 500-foot-by-500-foot bonfire," Reed said. "It created a tremendous amount of heat." Stage 15, where "Star Trek III" was to be filmed, was to be the Vulcan planet and contained 40-foot high rocks to be used in an earthquake sequence, said David Pondella, head of set lighting at Paramount. "There was solid fire from building to building, a solid sheet, just like a tornado," Pondella said. "It was roaring." Amparan said earlier that four sound stages were burned, but later said only two sound stages and part of a third were damaged. A sprinkler system went off on the "Star Trek" stage, causing water damage, Eisner said.

The movie was not being filmed at the time of the fire. Five television shows "Happy Days," "Cheers" and the new series "Mr. Smith," "Family Ties" and "Webster" also are filmed on sound stage 15, he said. "No one was hurt and we will be able to make repairs very quickly without interrupting either present or future production on the lot," said a studio statement read by Earl Lestz, senior vice president of studio operations. Regarding the Star Trek set, he said, "We'll get it cleaned up probably tomorrow and be able to start shooting on Monday." Thick black smoke spread from the studio to adjoining Hollywood Memorial Park Cemetery, where dozens of Hollywood greats are buried, including Rudolph Valentino, Douglas Fairbanks Paul Muni, Tyrone Power, Adolph Menjou, and Charlie Chaplin Jr.

HOLLYWOOD (API A major fire shot through Paramount Studios on Thursday, destroying the street set where the "Bells of St. Mary's" was filmed and damaging the expensive sound stage for "Star Trek III," authorities said. Two firefighters suffered minor injuries in the fire, which was attended by 33 fire companies as well as water-dropping helicopters, said Ed Reed, a city fire inspector. Flames destroyed the famed 56-year-old "New York Street," where "Bells of St. Mary's," "Going My Way," "Chinatown," "Day of the Locust," the opening sequences for "Laverne and and Shirley," "Love American Style," and all the Jerry Lewis movies, "Breakfast at Tiffany's," parts of "Godfather 1 and II," and "Looking for Mr.

Goodbar," were filmed, said Paramount President Michael Eisner. Besides "New York Street," the fire destroyed "Boston Street," "Church Street" and "McFadden Street," as well as damaging the sound state here the third "Star Trek" movie was being filmed, fire department spokesman Henry Amparan said. "We came within about 30 seconds of losing the set" where "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock" was being filmed, said "Star Trek" actor William Shatn-er, ho sprayed a set with a hose. About six acres of the 50acre studio lot burned wildly before it was brought under control about two hours after it began at 4:02 p.m., said Paramount spokeswoman Susan Pile. Officials said the cause could not immediately be determined.

Damage was "in the millions," Reed said.

About 20 passengers were treated for minor injuries. 13 San Onofre guards fired for drug use SAN ONOFRE (AP) Thirteen private security guards at the San Onofre nuclear generating station have been fired after tests confirmed they were using drugs, security company officials said Thursday.

Eight other guards have resigned in the aftermath of a drug-screening check at the seaside nuclear facility near San Clemente, said Cliff Ingber, corporate counsel for Burns International Security Services Inc. All 21 guards had been suspended after an initial urinalysis July 22 showed noticeable levels of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, hashish and other drugs, Ingber said. More than 350 security guards employed by Burns at San Onofre were asked by the security company to provide urine samples during the surprise check, which was administered as guards reported for work or were ending their shift, said Ingber. Prior to their employment, the guards had been advised it was company policy to periodically test for the presence of drugs. "We feel comfortable with the testing and the findings," Ingber said.

"It has shown our employees and guards are a reliable group, all in all, since a smaller percentage of our group was detected as having drugs in their bloodstream than would normally be expected in the general public." Ingber said Burns sought and received written permission from 13 of the disciplined guards to have their urine specimens undergo a second "confirmation" analysis at an independent laboratory. The eight who resigned did so rather than submit their urine samples to analysis by a mass spectrometer, Ingber said. today'f national forocast Barry turns mild, may roar again MIAMI (AP) Tropical depression Barry bypassed the space shuttle launch pad and crept across mid-Florida on Thursday into the warm Gulf of Mexico, where it could roar back to life, forecasters said. After its sustained winds hit 55 mph on Wednesday, when it was classified a tropical storm, Barry moved ashore off the Atlantic Ocean at daybreak Thursday about 40 miles south of Cape Canaveral with sustained winds of 40 mph. The depression was moving west at 15 mph and was expected to continue on its path for the next 24 hours.

Small craft along the northwest Florida coast from Tarpon Springs to Apalichola were advised by the National Weather Service to remain in port, and a reconnaissance plane was to investigate the depression this morning. "Right now, it's undergoing a disorganization process," Hal Ger-rish at the National Hurricane Center in Coral Gables, said earlier Thursday. "It's so disorganized we're even having problems finding its center on the satellite photos." Gerrish said that when the depression touches the tepid waters of the Gulf "it will grow stronger, and could become a tropical storm, perhaps a hurricane." A tropical storm has sustained winds of 39 mph to 73 mph. At 74 mph, the storm is designated a hurricane. At the Kennedy Space Center, where space shuttle Challenger stands poised on a seaside pad awaiting next Tuesday's scheduled blastoff, the near brush with Barry had "no impact," said Jim Ball, a spokesman for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

"We had prepared for gale-force winds, and were delighted that nothing materialized," Ball said. He said Barry caused "no impact whatsover" on the countdown for the shuttle's eighth mission. Skies over south Florida popped and sizzled with summer afternoon thunderstorms, but no damage was reported as it moved over the central Florida's 847,000 acres of citrus groves. For growers, the rain minus the strong winds was good news. "Any crop needs rain to grow, and rain makes oranges and grapefruit more Juicy," said Ernie Neff at Florida Citrus Mutual, a growers' co-op in Lakeland.

NASA shelved a contingency plan to bring Challenger in from the launch pad, where the shuttle is shielded by a metal gantry and secured by eight 2 inch-wide bolts that "can withstand hurricane-force winds easily" said spokesman Rocky Raab. 4 ShcOSun (USPS 526-540) A Gannett Newspaper Street, Sao BernudUio, California 02401 Vol 110 rrKUy.
