There were no immediate reports of casualties. A Libyan news dispatch Tuesday said Chadian President Hissene Habre had been killed while directing his forces at the battlefront.

But officials in the capital of their forces were driving the rebels back toward Libya. The rebels, led by ousted President Goukouni Oueddei, said they retook the strategic town of Faya-Largeau Tuesday, according to a rebel radio station operating from Bardai, Chad, near the Libyan border. The broadcast report gave no details of the U.S. F-14s Encounter Libyan MiGs The Pentagon spokesman said Navy jets had sighted two Libyan planes one hour earlier when operating over the gulf, but that no incidents occurred. He said that in the second encounter, somewhat north of the first, "the MiGs executed a turn, allowing the F-14s to establish themselves behind the MiGs.

The MiGs then descended, accelerated and turned toward shore and the F-14s broke off pursuit." On Aug. 19, 1981, two Navy jets shot down two Libyan SU-22 warplanes over the Gulf of Sidra. The Navy said its planes had been fired on. Compiled From News Services WASHINGTON Four U.S. military advisers are being sent to Chad for a tew days to instruct French advisers in the use of U.S.-supplled Redeye anti-aircraft missiles, Pentagon sources said today.

The sources said the four U.S. advisers were being sent to the Chadian capital of N'Djamena to teach the French how to use the missiles. They, in turn, will train the Chadian soldiers. The sources said the U.S. training would continue for "a few days." The State Department disclosed earlier this week that the United States was sending Redeyes shoulder-fired, heat-seeking missiles to help Chad fight off Increasingly severe air attacks by Libyan war planes in Chad's civil war.

The missiles will be paid for from the $10 million already earmarked by the United States for military assistance to help Chad withstand the attack by the insurgents backed by Libya. In Chad itself, rebel forces claimed they, had recaptured a key northern oasis town in a 72-hour attack. But Chadian officials said Billions Spent For Fake Items, Panel Is Told WASHINGTON (AP) The Pentagon says two Navy F-14 Tomcat Jet fighters intercepted two Libyan warplanes about 100 miles from the carrier Eisenhower over waters claimed by Libya. Tuesday's incident over the Gulf of Sidra, which the United States considers international waters, involved two Libyan MiG-23s and two Tomcats from the Eisenhower. No weapons were fired, and the Libyan MiG-23s turned to avoid collision, and then descended and headed for shore, a Pentagon spokesman said.

SI LOUIS POST-DISPATCH N'Djamena quickly denied the report, accusing the Libyans of psychological warfare. The Chadian officials said Libyan jets and helicopter gunships had repeatedly bombed and strafed Faya-Largeau In support of the rebel forces, and that Is why they need the anti-aircraft weapons. The rebels took Faya-Largeau June 24 in the first major action of the latest round of Chad's civil war. But Habre's forces recaptured the town Saturday. Both France and the United States promised Monday to sent anti-aircraft weapons to support Habre, and the first shipment of French weapons arrived in N'Djamena Tuesday.

They were to be shipped immediately to the northern battlefront. Chad has been wracked by almost continuous fighting between rival factions since it won independence from France In 1980. Goukouni, backed by Libya, was president of Chad from August 1979 to June 7, 1982, when he fled the country and Habre took power. I'M i fas. UPI r' 4 9 i 1 WASHINGTON (UPI) Americans spend billions of dollars for counterfeit goods including $3 billion annually for fake auto products which could endanger their health and safety, the head of an anti-counterfeiting group says.

"Every working day, consumers from New York to California are being defrauded of vast sums of money and unwittingly forced to risk use of hazardous products because counterfeiting has become a high-profit, low-risk business," James Bikoff, president of the Inter ational Anti-Counterfeiting Coalition said Tuesday. Bikoff's coalition has 140 corporate members. He said counterfeiting had spread from the apparel and publishing businesses to airplane, chemical, drug, cosmetic, medical and electronic products. This adds "a totally new dimension to the problem concern for consumer health and safety," Bikoff told the House Energy and Commerce oversight and investigations subcommittee. He displayed for the committee a table full of counterfeited items.

These included copies of Levi's jeans, watches, credit cards, "E.T." dolls, Mickey Mouse storybooks, containers of Vaseline and other medicines, video and recording tapes and numerous auto parts. He supported legislation providing criminal sanctions for any manufacturer, distributor or retailer intentionally producing or selling counterfeit products. "Unless counterfeiters face swift, sure criminal sanctions, the incentive for this spreading consumer abuse will continue unabated," Bikoff said. Commercial counterfeiting involves the unauthorized use of patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade dress in connection with products, often of inferior quality, that make the product superficially indistinguishable from the genuine article. Bikoff said counterfeiting had grown so much that "the chances of purchasing a counterfeit record or tape are now estimated to be one in five, a counterfeit pair of sunglasses one in four, a counterfeit designer watch even higher." Maria Dennison, representing the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association, said a Brooklyn-based sports firm had lost $1 million in sales because a Taiwanese manufacturer had counterfeited its basketballs, selling them in South America and Asia.

Earlier, Richard Camps, vice president of the Barrick Security Group of San Mateo, said international crime networks operating between California and Asia did a lucrative business in counterfeit high-technology consumer goods, including home computers and video games. Camps said the market for counterfeit Apple computers made in Taiwan and Hong Kong was "quite active, with manufacturers offering to supply thousands on a monthly basis." Camps wore a black hood to hide his face from photographers because he often participates in "sting" operations against traffickers in stolen electronics goods. Woman Wins Runoff Spot In Mississippi JACKSON, Miss. (UPI) Evelyn Gandy, seeking to become the state's first woman Miss Gandy governor, captured a runoff spot in Mississippi's Democratic primary election and will battle populist Bill Allain, who ran a surprisingly strong second. Miss Gandy, 62, the state's first woman lieutenant governor, state treasurer and insurance commissioner, waged a see-saw battle with Allain staying in front much of Tuesday night but only by a razor-thin margin.

Miss Gandy was the heavy favorite In her drive for the state's top office, but Allain was bolstered by a strong showing in central Mississippi and some strength in north Mississippi, where he was not expected to fare well. State Rep. Lonnie Johnson of Pearl and Laurel farmer Billy Davis picked up little support in the primary. The winner of the runoff faces Republican Leon Bramlett Nov. 8 in 'he general election.

Strife-Torn Sri Lanka Starts Reconstruction COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (UPI) Sri Lanka began reconstruction today after more than a week of ethnic violence that has killed at least 240 people. The Supreme Court was meeting to review a constitutional amendment that would ban any public support for the provincial secession sought by militant Tamils for the northeastern area of the country. The amendment would impose penalties ranging from deprivation of civil rights to death. The riot-battered capital saw a second day of calm today and officials said no new incidents were reported in the country torn between its Hindu Tamil minority and Buddhist Sinhalese majority. The strict dusk-to-dawn curfew, which has been enforced by soldiers with orders to shoot to kill, was to be reimposed at 4 p.m.

The women were taken into custody Tuesday night after they had refused military police orders to move back from the depot's truck gate, state police said. Women from across the United States and overseas had marched to the depot, where they say nuclear arms are stored, to protest against U.S.

plans to deploy cruise and Pershing II missiles in Europe later this year. Most of the 244 women arrested in the rally Monday were released with written warnings. GOP Senators Prevent Vote On Nuclear Freeze 1983, New York Times News Service WASHINGTON Republicans on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Tuesday prevented Democrats from voting on a resolution that calls for a "mutual and verifiable freeze" in nuclear armaments. The committee meeting broke up amid charges that Democrats were pursuing the freeze issue for narrow political reasons and that Republicans had killed chances for a vote by carrying on a filibuster. Advocates of the nuclear freeze repeatedly were frustrated by the Republican chairman of the committee, Sen.

Charles H. Percy of Illinois, who ruled that no votes could be taken without the unanimous consent of committee members. At the same time, Republican members of the committee indicated their willingness to speak until the end of the two-hour period the committee had set aside for its deliberations on the issue. This stall tactic made a vote impossible. The Senate has taken no vote on the resolution.

In early May, the House approved a modified freeze resolution, 278-149. Strict Curbs Are Imposed In Uruguay MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay (AP) The military government has banned political activity indefinitely, is Alvarez threatening to strip outspoken citizens of their rights and has imposed strict controls on an already-muzzled media. In one of three decrees issued Tuesday, the 10-year-old regime of President Gen. Gregorio Alvarez said the three legal political parties the Colorado, the National and the Civic Union must limit their activities to internal organization. Another decree gives the government the power to strip the rights of any person "who conducts himself wrongly and whose actions or commissions perturb public tranquillity and order." The third decree prohibits the print and broadcast media from reporting any criticism of the new measures and from reporting any banned political activities.

Forest Fire In France Firemen with hoses fighting a forest fire Tuesday in Frejus, France. Three campsites were destroyed by the fire. Hundreds of soldiers helped the firemen as high winds threatened to sweep the blaze to other neighboring campsites. Lawyers' Ethics Code Faces Battle In Individual States; He admitted that if enough states disagree with the ethics code, the ABA would soon have to deal again with the troublesome ethical questions in the code. The ABA's House of Delegates also narrowly approved Tuesday support for laws ending tax benefits for private clubs that practice sex discrimination.

It was the third time the 380 delegates had faced the private clubs issue. Initially, they voted against giving tax breaks for clubs that exclude women and minorities. Then, in a bitter fight last February, the delegates did an about-face and voted against amending the 1964 Civil Rights Act to stop bias at clubs used primarily for business. Homsexual Rejection The policy-making delegates voted down a request, 158-134, that they endorse federal legislation to ban discrimination against homosexuals. "I am still a political conservative and, Compiled From News Services ATLANTA A newly adopted code of ethics for lawyers took six years to wind its way through the American Bar Association.

Now, it appears to be headed for an uphill battle to gain acceptance from individual states. The ABA voted overwhelmingly Tuesday to adopt new rules to govern the conduct of lawyers. The revision was the first since 1969. But before the code may be used to punish lawyers for wrongdoing, each state's supreme court, acting on recommendations of the state bar, must approve the new Model Rules of Professional Responsibility for use in state proceedings. At the national convention Tuesday, the organization adopted a model code that requires lawyers to tell new clients from the first about legal costs and allows them to advertise.

But it bars them from turning in clients engaged in fraud or other non-violent crimes. Under the new code's confidentiality yes, I am gay," said former Rep. Robert E. Bauman in an appearance before the delegates. Bauman, a Republican, was defeated for re-election from his Maryland district in 1980 after it was revealed he had solicited sex from a 16-year-old boy.

But he said he would return to Congress as a lobbyist for homosexual rights. He resigned from the ABA two years ago after saving it was "too liberal," but returned Tuesday to urge the organization to support federal legislation banning discrimination against homosexuals in employment, housing and public accommodations. Only one ABA delegate spoke out against the homosexual rights proposal during a 20-minute debate. Joe Stamper of Antlers, said its passage "would give our profession a mal odor." The House of Delegates also opposed, by a voice vote, any Federal Trade Commission attempt to regulate the nation's 622,000 lawyers. Alfredo Ayala, 30, had told a stewardess in Spanish that he was going to take control of Pan Am Flight 925, said Joe McGuinness, Pan Am director of sales.

The man, apparently unarmed, moved toward the cockpit of the Boeing 727 and was overheard by passenger Spicer Lung, 45, who had worked for Pan Am for 18 years. Lung and his 15-year-old son, Spicer Lung leaped from their seats and grappled with the man, McGuinness said. A flight attendant identified as Fernando Viollas Lobos, of Houston, and another passenger, Ralph Symons, joined the struggle and helped subdue the man. provisions, lawyers may not blow the whistle on clients who engage in fraud unless such conduct surfaces during a court proceeding. Lawyers would be required to keep their client's secrets even when the clients commit large financial frauds or other white-collar crimes.

But although lawyers who learn of a client's fraud outside of court can drop that client without explaining why. Comments inserted into the code Tuesday specified that a lawyer who resigns to avoid being used as an instrument of fraud "may also withdraw or disaffirm any opinion" or other statement made on behalf of the client. Geoffrey C. Hazard a Yale law professor who was the principal draftsman of the proposals, said this would send "a signal that something is seriously wrong. Both supporters and opponents said divisions within the ABA reflected the kinds of difficulties the new standards would face to win adoption by states.

Robert Meserve of Boston headed the commission drawing up the new guidelines. But the Senate never passed the measure and neither did the House until Tuesday, when Mrs. Hall called supporters to the House microphone and they responded with often emotional, sometimes eloquent remarks about King's dream of equality. Opponents contended that King should be honored but not with another costly paid holiday for the federal work force. State and local governments and many private businesses likely would follow the federal example, they said.

President Ronald Reagan has opposed efforts in the past to establish a 10th paid holiday for federal workers, but White House spokesman Larry Speakes appeared to open the door to possible support of the measure. Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday Wins In House, Goes To Senate Laid-Off Employee Helps Thwart Hijacking Of Pan Am Jetliner HOUSTON (AP) A laid-off Pan Am employee came to the aid of his former employer, thwarting the hijacking of a Houston-bound jetliner by wrestling a Cuban who gave up rather than fight "three fairly virile American males," witnesses said. The jetliner, carrying 121 passengers and a crew of seven from Miami, landed safe Tuesday at Houston Intercontinental Airport, where police and FBI agents arrested the would-be hijacker, FBI agent John Guido said. It was the second time in two weeks that passengers have foiled an air piracy, The suspect, identified by the FBI as Compiled From News Services WASHINGTON The chief House sponsor of a national holiday commemorating the Rev.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. says she is "not going to rest" after the bill's first legislative victory In 15 years, but will immediately begin wooing the administration and the Senate for support. Rep. Katie Hall, a freshman Democrat from Gary, was floor manager for the bill Tuesday when the House voted 338-90 to make the third Monday in January a legal national holiday in King's honor.

Every year since the civil rights leader was assassinated in 1968, legislation has been introduced In both houses to create a new national holiday..
