In Washington, Defense Secretary Harold Brown said the United States is supplying economic aid to refugees from Afghanistan, but he will not discuss reports that rebels in Afghanistan are being supplied weapons by the CIA. During a House Budget Committee hearing Thursday on the administration's request for defense outlays of $142.7 billion in fiscal 1981, Brown was asked if the United States was "involved" with Afghan forces fighting the Soviets as Moscow has contended. "We are supporting economic aid to refugees and some of them may be insurgents," Brown said.

"Afghan insurgent refugees go back and forth across the border" with Pakistan. Rep. Louis Stokes, D-Ohio, persisted, asking about reports that the CIA was covertly supplying arms to anti-Soviet Afghan forces. "I don't want to get involved with the CIA," Brown said. "I am not going to discuss CIA operations or covert actions.

I will not affirm or deny." In other developments, the Pakistani news agency PPI said Afghan rebels shot down two Soviet helicopters Sunday in the provinces of Ghazni, in the east, and Kandhar, in the southeast. The report said that rebels had killed 41 troops, including three Soviet officiers, in an attack in Iuar Province and that demonstrations against the Soviets had occurred in all the provinces in north, central and south Afghanistan. The news agency also reported widespread desertions in the Afghan army because, it said, the Soviets were forcing the Afghans to fight the rebels while their troops remained in the background. None of the reports could be independently confirmed. But Golbedin Hekmatyar, head of the Islamic Party of Afghanistan that opposes the Soviet presence, said the Afghan army had become demoralized and had shrunk from 80,000 troops last year to 30,000.

In an interview in Tehran, Iran, he said 500 persons were killed in last week's fighting in Kabul. Shopkeepers in the Afghan capital reopened their stores Thursday after a week-long strike to protest the 2-month-old occupation of their country by about 70,000 Soviet troops. Embassy Security Plans Include Tear-Gas Devices Compiled From News Service KABUL, Afghanistan Soviet and Afghan troops in Kabul were put on special alert as Moslem guerrillas promised new anti-Soviet demonstrations and attacks after weekly prayer services today. Spokesmen for the anti-communist guerrillas told reporters in Kabul that the attacks would begin as worshipers emerged from Moslem Sabbath prayers in the Afghan capital's mosques. However, some Western diplomats were skeptical that the guerrillas could mount another citywide offensive so soon after last week's street battles, in which at least 300 were reported killed and about 1,000 injured.

The Afghan government blamed "imperialist agents and saboteurs" aided by the United States, China and Pakistan for the fighting, which began Friday and continued through Saturday. Military observers said they believed that the rebels suffered heavy casualities when they were fired on by Soviet tanks and helicopters, but that most survivors went into hiding with Colombia FROM PAGE ONE stay here one or two months if necessary" to force the government to meet their demands. These included $50 million, freedom for 311 political prisoners and safe conduct out of the country for the guerrillas. On Thursday, the Colombian Red Cross delivered mattresses, food and cigarettes to the embassy, removed the body of a guerrilla shot to death during the takeover and supplied two doctors to treat a 'woman guerrilla wounded during the takeover. The doctors said that she did not require hospitalization and could remain in the embassy.

Ambassadors Galan of Mexico, Asencio of the United States, Virgilio Lovera of Venezuela and Diogenes Mayil Burgos of the Dominican Republic conducted the negotiations with the guerrillas that led to the freeing of the first group of hostages, Galan said. The women freed were the wives of the Guatemalan and Israeli ambassadors and those of the Jamaican and Dominican consuls. Meanwhile in Washington, a U.S. official said that it was not determined whether it was coincidence that four communist envoys had departed shortly before the guerrillas invaded the embassy on Wednesday. He said, "A coincidence? Maybe.

We're not sure." The ambassadors of the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Romania were among the diplomats attending the Dominican national day reception Wednesday. Witnesses reported that shortly before the attack, the driver for the Soviet envoy gave envelopes to the drivers of the three other communist representatives. TV FROM PAGE ONE taken several steps to prepare for its conversion. At the end of January, it installed two "dishes" to receive signals from communications satellites. And within a week or so, major alterations in the station's transmitter should be complete, improving significantly the quality of its signal in the St.

Louis area. Subscription television differs from cable television in that the signal is broadcast through the air, just like those of conventional television stations, and not carried in a wire as cable signals are. As a result, a station can offer only one program at a time, while a single cable can carry more than 40 different programs simultaneously. There are other differences. Subscription TV stations require only federal approval before they begin operation.

Cable companies must obtain a franchise from each municipality in which they seek to operate. Then, they must string wires to homes before they can begin serving customers. Subscription TV also differs from multipoint distribution services, which offer similar programs to those found on subscription services. Multipoint WASHINGTON (AP) Mobs attempting to storm American embassies face being greeted with blasts of tear gas from nozzles concealed in doorways and lobbies under new plans to protect diplomats. State Department officials say what has happened recently in Tehran, Iran; Islamabad, Pakistan; Tripoli, Libya; and now Bogota, Colombia, demonstrates the need for added embassy security.

At a hearing of a House foreign affairs subcommittee Thursday officials disclosed some of their plans to enable diplomats to protect themselves and their sensitive papers when a mob attacks and local security forces are unable or unwilling to offer adequate protection. Among the plans: Installing tear gas hoses in embassy entranceways and entrance rooms so that guards at a remote point can disable attackers. Building "safe haven" vaults "with appropriate escape features" in embassies places where staffs can hide until they are rescued. Such a vault in the embassy in Islamabad is believed to have saved scores of American lives when a Moslem mob sacked the U.S. Embassy last Nov.

Ben H. Read, undersecretary of Caraff CDeaira Ceraeir tour showed hardly any tanks or armored cars on city streets. There was still a noticeable amount of tension, however, particularly in districts regarded as sympathetic to the rebels. In areas where the rebels were particularly active, including the Old City and the nearby district of Maiwand, the military command appeared to be relying on the militia of the ruling Khalq Party to prevent further attacks. Civilians patrolled the streets in pairs with cocked Kalashnikov submachine guns, the symbol of authority for the militia.

Travelers arriving Thursday in Pakistan reported that Soviet-backed Afghan troops had herded more than 1,000 people together in Kabul and machine-gunned them to death in retaliation for last weekend's rioting. Kabul residents have complained privately to Western reporters that the militia has in many cases arbitrarily executed suspected rebels or rebel sympathizers. Militiamen have also arrested private citizens and seized private property, the sources said. state for management, testified that the takeover in on Iran Nov. the destruction of the U.S.

Embassy in Pakistan and the sacking of the embassy in Libya on Dec. 2 alerted the government to the problem. "The violence we have experienced recently has been new that of organized mobs, allowed to wreak their havoc without a prompt, adequate response by the host government," he said. Talking to reporters later, Karl D. Ackerman, the State Department's top security expert, said security against mobs has become more urgent, although embassies still must depend on their host governments for long-term protection.

He said every American embassy has increased its security. Ackerman did not say whether tear gas nozzles already have been installed anywhere or where they would be installed. Read said computerizing records would be a big help. In Tehran, some documents were destroyed by the embassy staff, but many fell into the hands of militants, who used them to document their charge that CIA operatives had been working in the embassy under the guise of diplomats. "To destroy all sensitive materials and papers in a brief time under harrowing circumstances is obviously almost impossible under current filing and data-handling procedures," Read said.

"We therefore recommend a new approach the installation of centralized electronic storage systems overseas to replace decentralized paper files, he said. ooD Shop Mon. thru Sat 9:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. DINING ROOMS BEDROOMS SOFAS L0VESEATS CHAIRS SLEEPERS RECLINERS OCCASIONAL YOUTH GROUPS WALL SYSTEMS CURIOS Located in Westroods Mall at Clayton Rd.

official, who declined to be identified, said. "But whether it means the communist ambassadors were tipped off in advance, we'll probably never know." On the other hand, U.S. officials noted that because the Dominican Republic does not have close ties with any communist country, it would not be unusual for communist ambassadors to make only token appearances at such gatherings. "Comandante Numero Uno" also was identified in intercepted communications as Carlos Ilyich, which is the name of the notorious Venezuelan-born terrorist known as Carlos. However, it appeared that this guerrilla leader had adopted the name and had no relation to the legendary Carlos the world's most-wanted terrorist.

Carlos, an infamous terrorist, is the son of a Venezuelan millionaire lawyer, and a loyal communist. Carlos' most infamous operation was the December 1977 kidnapping of the oil ministers of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries in Vienna, Austria, after a band he led had shot its way into the meeting. The ransom Carlos received reportedly made him a millionaire. In communications Thursday night from the embassy, a guerrilla spokesman identified himself as "Commandante Cinco." Guerrillas in Central America often adopt noms de guerre with numbers. The hero of the takeover of the main government building in Managua, Nicaragua, almost two years ago was a self-styled "Comrade Zero." programs are broadcast over the air, like regular television signals, but special antennas are required to receive them, and the antennas themselves must have a clear line-of-sight to the broadcast tower.
