Among those under consideration will be Jack Carter, the son of the President. The program is the second step in Carter's effort to heal the divisiveness of the Vietnam War.

But, unlike his blanket pardon on Jan. 21 for thousands of Vietnam-era draft evaders, the discharge review will be handled on a case-by-case basis. WASHINGTON, March 29 (AP) On orders of the President, the Department of Defense will consider upgrading undesirable and general discharges for Vietnam-era servicemen. The Pentagon announced yesterday that President Jimmy Carter had approved its plans to review in "the spirit of forgiveness and compassion" discharges given for desertion, drug abuse and other causes between Aug. 4, 1964, ted actor Peter Sellers with an electronic pacemaker to make his heart beat regularly, British newspapers reported today.

Sellers, 51 years old, who has a history of heart disease, collapsed recently when returning from a honeymoon, but he said his illness was food poisoning and not a heart attack. mV (hot water electric Jaj'l Jfy jjjSj- HEATING. OUR ONE MILLION INSTALLATIONS ALRtADT Available with INTERTHERM Whole House Air Conditioning Senior military officials on 12 Army, Navy, Marine and Air Force Discharge Review Boards will examine the review applications. More boards will be set up if they are needed for prompt review of the cases, officials said. Guidelines require that the review boards take into account an individual's age and length of service, education, background, and the possible influence of drugs, alcohol or personal distress in causing acts that led to undesirable discharges.

Other factors, the Pentagon said, are whether such actions "were alleged at the time to have been motivated by conscience," and the individual's "record of good citizenship since discharge." Those who receive undesirable discharges usually lose veterans' benefits. In cases in which these discharges are upgraded, a serviceman would regain the benefits. General discharges are considered by the armed services as having been given under honorable conditions. Such discharges normally go to persons considered unfit for military service, and those who receive them do not lose veterans' benefits. Eligible ex-servicemen and women will have six months to seek a review of their papers.

The Pentagon said it would announce guidelines for them within a week. Official figures show that 173,006 undesirable discharges and 259,524 general discharges were issued during the Vietnam era. The new program does not effect about 1900 dishonorable and 28,759 bad conduct discharges issued to servicemen after courts-martial. Jack Carter, 29 years old, received a general discharge one step below honorable after he and 53 classmates were caught smoking marijuana at the Navy Nuclear Power School in Idaho Falls, Idaho, in late 1970. The Pentagon announcement said servicemen discharged "for reasons involving violence, criminal intent or the use of force" would not be eligible under the review program.

Neither would deserters from a combat zone. The armed services still list 4560 deserters from the Vietnam era. They would have to turn themselves in to military authorities and seek a discharge, authorities said.

KINSHASA, Zaire, March 29 (AP) -Fighting between government troops and Katangan exiles from Angola was reported today near the copper-mining center of Kolwezi, in southern Zaire. An American engineer said he had seen many wounded soldiers arrive in the city from the west. The engineer, interviewed by telephone, is one of about 40 Americans with the Morrison-Knudsen Corp. of Boise, Idaho, working on a $40,000,000 electric relay station near Kolwezi.

Their families were moved out last week to Kinshasa. Unofficial sources in Kinshasa said there had been fighting since Sunday around Kolwezi, in Shaba Province, which was known as Katanga when Zaire was The Congo. Government officials continued to deny reports that Mutshatsha, the government headquarters in the province about 60 miles west of Kolwezi, had fallen. But they confirmed that there had been fighting near the town since Sun day. A government spokesman said there was a major battle around Mutshatsha, but gave no details.

The government radio appealed for the armed forces to show discipline and loyalty to President Mobutu Sese Seko, who called army commanders to his palace to discuss the situation. Southern Zaire was invaded three weeks ago by about 2000 troops, most of them veterans of the 1960 attempt by the Katangans to secede. They fled to neighboring Angola when the attempt failed. The invaders' immediate goal appeared to be Kolwezi and its mines about 220 miles east of the Angolan border. The province supplies all of Zaire's copper, the nation's major source of foreign exchange.

About 2000 Belgians work in the Geo-comine copper mining complex around Kolwezi, and about 2000 of their wives and children were reported to be in the city. Belgian Embassy sources said there were no plans to move them out. r-KCOtlNI I nib AD AND GET NAME ADDRESS 20 BE FNERGY WISE eleclnc nn TO AVAILABLE THROUGH YOUR FAVORITE ELECTRICIAN OR DEALER I am the Dealer's wife and I am excited about this unique "Countess" Cadillac Seville.

Amtrak Reply On Station Is Criticized By CHARLENE PROST Of the Post-Dispatch Staff United States Representative Richard A. Gephardt St. Louis, has charged that Amtrak "gave totally unsatisfactory explanations" for its decision to build a new St.

Louis railroad station on Ewing Street. Gephardt and other area politicians want Amtrak to use a building near its present quarters in Union Station. Gephardt made his criticisms in a letter to Amtrak yesterday. Both Gephardt and Senator Thomas F. Eagleton Missouri, wrote to Amtrak March 2 objecting to Si Amtrak's decision to build a $5,400,000 railroad passen ger terminal on Ewing several blocks southwest of Union Station.

Gephardt and Eagleton contended that Amtrak had an obligation to remain near Union Station at Market and Eighteenth Streets under the National Historic Preservation Act.

WE WILL BE CLOSED WEDNESDAY UNTIL 4 PM. TO MARK DOWN PRICE TAGS FOR THiS SAVINGS SPECTACULAR priority to historical and architecturally significant buildings when seeking new quarters. Amtrak now operates in the main building at Union Station, a structure that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Union Station redevelopers had offered to renovate space for Amtrak in a building southeast of the Union Station shed that is not on the National Register.

Bruce Pike, Amtrak's vice president for governmental affairs, said in his reply to Gephardt and Eagleton that Amtrak had rejected "a proposal in which Amtrak would be moving from the historical structure to another area and in fact occupy a portion of a renovated Railroad Express Agency building." Gephardt said in the letter yesterday, "our point, and the Advisory Council's point, is that the move out of Union Station itself will have an effect on a structure listed on the National Register of Historic Places Furthermore, in my view, some attention should be given to priorities established under the Amtrak Improvement Act for use of historic railroad stations." The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, a national preservation group, has asked Amtrak to delay building a new station until it determines whether the new station would adversely affect Union Station. Gephardt said that Pike's response to the March 2 letter had failed to answer several questions, including the cost issue. Amtrak said a major reason for rejecting the Union Station proposal was that it would cost roughly $1,000,000 more than the Ewing site. Wallace A. Wright one of the Union Station redevelopers, has said the final bid of $6,400,000 could be reduced considerably if Amtrak would accept some alternatives to the original proposal.

Gephardt said Pike had failed to respond to a request for a meeting to discuss the issues. "I reiterate my request for a meeting," Gephardt's letter said.

The association said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration had lost credibility on both sides of the ocean by prohibiting the artificial sweetener as of July 1 this year. The ban was based on Canadian experiments in which rats were given "enormous doses" of saccharin equivalent to a daily dose for humans of one kilogram per kilogram of weight, the Swiss doctors said.
