Both sides filed legal papers in the case Friday. The hearing is the latest chapter in a dispute that has threatened to become an embarrassing election- year issue.

Last month, a House subcommittee investigation con- eluded a crime had been committed, and it urged further inquiry by a court-appointed special prosecutor. While the Reagan campaign possessed various Carter campaign documents, the Justice Department said, an exhaustive investigation turned up "not one shred of information linking an official covered by the ethics act to any crime. "Surely, this court would not have the Department of Justice launch a criminal investigation, under the ethics act or otherwise, whenever it becomes apparent that someone outside the government has obtained access to unclassified government documents," the government's legal papers said. At his news conference Thursday, President Reagan said no one in his 1980 campaign saw or obtained a briefing book prepared for Carter before the -pre-election debate with Reagan. In his legal papers.

Banzhaf said the courts "now have the opportunity and the obligation to play the same vital role they did in Watergate when the executive branch was pretending to investigate itself. "It is hard to see why an independent counsel should not be required to investigate all of The impartial administration of justice, the lessons of Watergate, and a reasonable reading of the statute and the congressional intent behind it demand no less," Banzhaf said. Banzhaf, who challenged the attorney general's refusal to seek the independent counsel, said "the very danger Congress foresaw delay motivated by political considerations to avoid harming incumbants' chances of reelection has already occurred. "To allow the election to be held with these allegations hanging over the heads of so many who play a key role in the current administration is far more serious than the danger of having an independent counsel look into and finally resolve a scandal and a cancer in the Justice Department," he said.

Reagan Hits that were fastened on previous offers of a summit. The White House Friday was trying to portray the president as far more willing than ever to meet with Chernenko but to accomplish something beyond "saying hello." or "shooting the bull." Reagan's answers to repeated questions on a summit noticeably avoided the three catchphrase criteria that had been used regularly before to indicate U.S. opposition it must be "carefully prepared." have a "reasonable chance for success" and produce "tangible results." In another foreign policy move, deputy press secretary Larry Speakes told reporters that the United States is ready to make a counteroffer to Moscow "in the very on its proposal to ban anti-satellite weapons. "Within the very near future we might be able to enter into discussions with the Soviets" on certain aspects of space arms control, said. The Washington Post, in today's editions, reported that the 'administration is considering four options for limited agreements with the Soviet Union to control anti- satellite weapons, short of a ban on such weapons.

The Post, quoting administration officials, reported that the options include restricting each nation to one type of satellite interceptor, banning weapons that can destroy high- altitude satellites, devising an "incidents in space" agreement that would bind both nations legally not to interfere with each other's satellites and "confidence-building" measures that would give each nation more information about the other's activities in space. The State Department had, no comment on the report. Military Patrols truckloads of soldiers armed with machine guns frequently passed by shopkeepers and pedestrians on Montevideo streets Friday. Navy helicopters circled overhead. Unofficial sources said the military had reserved numerous hospital beds in case violence breaks out.

Ferreira has lived in exile in Argentina, England and Spain since fleeing Uruguay a day after the military's coup on June 27, 1973. His arrest was ordered one day after he addressed the U.S. Congress in July 1976 and detailed human rights abuses committed by the military regime that prompted Washington to cancel military and economic aid to Uruguay. He is accused of links with subversives, endangering the country by encouraging foreign powers to attack, and demoralizing the armed forces. In a communique broadcast repeatedly on television and radio Friday, the armed forces warned citizens to stay away from the welcoming rally for Ferreira, the Blanco party's candidate for president in the Nov.

25 elections. The government said "professional agitators and radical groups" had entered the country secretly to provoke disturbances at what the Blanco party is billing as "a joyful and peaceful re-encounter" of Uruguayans with one of the country's most charismatic leaders.

NRCSays The NRC investigation revealed that GPU officials changed one conclusion of the Keaten report that essentially stated that GPU staff had, indeed, violated NRC requirements concerning operation of the valve. The conclusion stated "the plant had operated in violation of this (NRC) requirement for an extended period prior to the NRC investigators said GPU officials changed this statement by deleting any reference to a "violation" of NRC requirements.

The NRC investigation revealed that not only had GPU violated the NRC requirement, but its response to the NRC's notice of apparent noncompliance was "contrary to the preponderance of evidence" in CPU's possession. GPU responded to the NRC notice of apparent noncompliance by stating that GPU workers had not known prior to the 1979 accident that the valve was not operating in accordance with NRC regulations. "In summation, it appears that (CPU's) response in addressing this statement of noncompliance was drafted to support a company position with little or no attempt to resolve or address conflicting information," the NRC staff report said. The NRC staff also said their investigation revealed that GPU President Herman Dieckamp played a role in adding information to the Keaten report that "highlighted" blame for the 1979 accident on Babcock Wilcox maker of the Three Mile Island reactor. The addition criticized Babcock Wilcox for not telling GPU officials about a pre-1979 incident at Ohio's Davis-Besse nuclear plant involving malfunction of a key valve.

UlJ'mLL Auto Theft Hollidaysburg State Police reported that a 1977 Toyota Carolla two-door coupe that was taken from the lot of Nelson Motors in Tipton sometime during the night of June 13 is still on the stolen vehicle list. Police said the car that is still missing is brown in color.

Plates from another vehicle were put on the stolen car because there are no license plates on lot cars to be sold, they said. Syria Forces sectors of Beirut for an hour and snipers wounded four people traveling from one side of the capital to the other. Christian and Moslem militiamen blamed each other for sporadic across Beirut. The.sound of exploding shells and sniper bullets echoed across the capital late Friday. Police reported as many as 19 trucks were hijacked by the rival militiamen before authorities halted traffic for an hour across the Green Line, which divides Christian east from Moslem west Beirut.

A factional security committee stepped in to deal with the new tactic, and police reopened the corridor following assurances that more trucks would not be hijacked, a militia source said. Police had no immediate explanation for the hijackings. A source close to the negotiators said. "Militiamen on the west side of the Green Line hijacked a truck loaded with sand, saying the other side would fill the sand into bags and use it in fortifications." "Word got to the east side, and they stopped and hijacked a westbound truck full of gravel for the same reason." The Voice of Lebanon radio said the Syrians deployed a new battalion of Soviet-made T72 tanks along the Bekaa frontline. Trucks loaded with ammunition were seen arriving in the valley after crossing the Syrian- Lebanese border, it said.

Syria has some 40,000 troops in east and north Lebanon and Israel maintains an estimated 10.000 troops in the southern part of the country. Iran Agrees Egypt Refuses Gulf war adversary. Iraq, with weapons, ammunition and volunteers. One source said the plane was allowed to land at Luxor for humanitarian reasons because it was running short of fuel. But the newspaper Al Gomhouria said the plane was denied landing permission and flew into an isolated section of Luxor Airport.

"Egyptian authorities are conducting an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the landing of this plane, whose pilot is Lt. Col. Hussein Ganderman and copilot is Lt. Col. Mohammed Shubeik," the state-controlled Middle East News Agency said.

The investigation was led by Lt. Gen. Ibrahim Ef-Orabi, chief of staff of the armed forces, who flew from 'Cairo to Luxor. U.S. Pulls suspended, worsening the third world debt crisis and weakening the banks left holding the bag.

In withdrawing its loan guarantee, the Treasury Department said it could be extended again i( the country ever does come to terms with the IMF. The IMF wants Argentina to cut salaries as part of a drastic anti- inflation effort. But Argentina's newly installed government is afraid such difficult measures could rock the government and spread unrest to estreets. resolution calling for an immediate halt on attacks on neutral shipping in the Persian Gulf. Iran had initially rejected the resolution as biased toward Iraq.

"The world's economy is tied here," Rafsanjani said. "We don't want these things (strikes on shipping) to happen." Tehran has warned it will retaliate against any nations supporting Iraq and has attacked neutral ships in revenge for Iraqi strikes on ships leaving and entering Iran's Kharg Island oil terminal. At least 37 tankers and ships have been damaged by Iran and Iraq. A Kuwaiti tanker, the Kazimah, was the last vessel hit. Kuwait accused Iran of carrying out the June 10 attack.

In New York, Iran's ambassador to the United Nations, Said Rajaie- Khorassani, condemned the alleged shelling of the hospital by Iraq as a "clear violation" of the cease-fire. The ambassador spoke to reporters after the Security Council, meeting in closed session, endorsed Perez de Cuellar's establishment of two teams of U.N. observers "ready to proceed" to Iran and Iraq to verify any violations of the limited cease-fire. The verification teams will be small, each kept to three military officers and one civilian official, Perez de Cuellar told the U.N. Security Council in a letter.

Despite the bombing truce, IRNA said Iranian forces killed or wounded "more than 25" Iraqis Friday, while Iraq said two Iranians were killed by Iraqi troops. Baghdad gave no Iraqi casualty figures and did not mention attacks on civilian targets. TCP Brings draws a nice portrait of a young man of the times. Jane Kassab, as the (loozie in the room next door, js wily and witty and Pete Duffy, makes an auspicious start to his acting career. Director Anna Roseberry did well with timing the show which got off to a slow start but picked up pace after the audience and the actors settled into it.

A nice touch is the piano playing as the play begins, "Nearer My God To Thee," which the passengers of the Titanic reportedly sang as the ship sank. The piano also was played between acts by Catherine Hambright. Tonight Ken Black will be at the keyboard. 200 Attend Two hundred people attended the Friday night production and more are expected at tonight's final show, according to TCP President Cindy Bennett. Final show, she pointed out, only in the sense of being the final showing of ORPHANS.

Next fall's production is already being discussed. Top pan- didate for that presentation is HELLO DOLLY, Bennett said. As director Roseberry provided a link with the past in that she is a niece of one of the Tyrone Players, Henry Lynch (now deceased). TCP president Bennett inadvertently illustrated an old theater saying for "good luck" saying good luck before a performance is supposed to be bad luck so you say "break a During Thursday night dress rehearsal, Bennett did just that took a step off the stage where she thought there were steps and there weren't and she broke her leg (actually her ankle).

"Yep." she said ruefully recalling all those hours she and Bennett and the rest of TCP spent on their knees, cleaning' up the auditorium and readying it for last night, "it was worth it." Congratulations. Tyrone Community Players and thanks. Strike Ends strike was absolutely worth it," said stagehands president Dennis Kist.

"There were multinational corporations trying to break the unions and the unions survived." Management negotiator Gary Moss said, "After this strike, and with the stance management took, strikes will be minimal in the future. Las Vegas will have labor peace." The longest strike in Nevada gambling history was launched April 2 by 30,000 culinary workers, bartenders, stagehands and musicians who walked out at 50 hotel-casinos. Statistics showed the strike cost Las Vegas more than $70 million in tourist dollars and another $40 million in gross revenue at the gambling tables. All but 2,600 strikers returned to work more than a week ago when picket lines were removed June 6 "as a show of good faith" while musicians and stagehands negotiated. Unions had negotiated piecemeal contracts hotel-by-hotel.

During the strike, riot police jailed almost 900 strikers when they harrassed tourists and disrupted traffic on the Las Vegas Dynamite bombs exploded in "strip" hotel parking lots and swimming pools, stink bombs routed highrollers from casinos and a swarm of bees was discovered once in a suitcase left inside the MGM Grand casino. The strike crippled, but never closed, the multimillion dollar gambling spas which line the Las Vegas "strip" for a distance of five miles. The stagehands ratification on Friday did not end the labor dispute for 1,400 culinary workers and bartenders employed at five off-strip casinos as well as the bankrupt Marina Hotel where their contract was voided by a bankruptcy judge prior to the mass walkout 75 days ago. No talks are scheduled with those off-strip resorts. Mondale Talking friends in Colorado I don't quit," he told a cheering crowd packed into a convention center meeting room.
