GAO says NO to Nixon WASHINGTON (UPI) Former President Nixon wanted to rent an expensive office suite in New York but the government told him "no and made it stick," a General Services Administration official said Tuesday.

Ray Fontaine, assistant administrator of the GSA, told a House subcommittee Nixon had tried to rent a suite in the Chrysler Building. Eventually the former president took a less expensive suite in a federal building in New York when he moved there from San Clemente, in 1980. The rent at the Chrysler Building was about $44 a square foot and Nixon's budget allowed only $13 or $14, Fontaine said. "We said no on the Chrysler Building and made it stick," Fontaine told the House Appropriations General Government subcommittee. "We suggested very strongly the space in the federal building.

They finally agreed." Rogers to reward writers Richard Nixon ATLANTA (UPI) Performer Kenny Rogers said he will offer $1 million to establish a program to honor journalists who help bring the problem of world hunger into the national spotlight. Rogers, appearing on NBC's Today show Tuesday, told interviewer Jane Pauley the "World Hunger Awards" would be given to reporters in eight categories and will be announced annually on the first Friday before Thanksgiving.

"I was tremendously impressed with Harry's Kenny Rogers unselfishness and his ability to give so much of his time," Rogers said.

And that's only the beginning. Cary Grant WORLD (Continued from Page 1) an alignment of the planets and physical phenomena on earth." A beadline in a Peruvian newspaper proclaimed the fortuitous news: "No pasa nada" Nothing's happening.

But more than a few eyebrows were raised Tuesday afternoon when a 15- second earthquake shook the Peruvian capital. Although the temblor only registered 4.2 on the Richter scale, its length made it seem stronger, and some Lima residents wondered if the "end" were coming a little ahead of schedule. "It's only a coincidence," the director of the Peruvian Geophysical Institute assured reporters. Less than 12 hours later, another earthquake hit Ica, a port town 180 miles south of Lima. "Any kind of seismic movement cannot be related to the lineup of planets," insisted the president of the Peruvian Astrology Association.

At the same time, Haig indicated the administration has not rejected Mexican President Jose Lopez Portillo's offer to help end the Salvadoran conflict and improve relations between the United States and Nicaragua. Haig told a Senate subcommittee U.S. arms and military aid are "crucial especially in political and psychological terms" to El Salvador's U.S.-backed junta in its fight against leftist guerrillas.

A cutoff of military assistance, as advocated by some congressional critics, would "be a fatal blow to that government's ability to sustain itself," he said. A President says March 21 'Afghanistan Day' WASHINGTON (UPI) President Reagan designated March 21 as Afghanistan Day and said the "world will not forget" the struggle of the rebels in that nation against the Soviet invaders. In a special White House ceremony Wednesday, Reagan dedicated the third launch of the space shuttle Columbia, scheduled for March 27, to the people of Afghanistan. "The Soviet Union must understand the world will not forget" the continued opposition of the Afghan rebels against the 100,000 Soviet troops now in the country. He dismissed the Soviet posttion that the troops were sent in to counter foreign intervention as "nothing more than propaganda." Reagan said Afghanistan "will remain a central issue" until the Soviet Union agrees to negotiate an end to the conflict.

Upstairs will be home economics and English classes. City Hall will be used for mathematics and science. "We will have no water and no laboratory," said Duane G. Sloan, Dorrance mayor and a teacher of mathematics and science at the high school, "Chemistry will be a lecture class. Our laboratory time is over for this year." The temporary classrooms will be used through the end of this school year, a little more than nine weeks away.

"We're doing the best we can with a bad situation," Klene said. State of shock Tuesday's fire, said Sloan, has put this town of about 250 residents into a state of shock. Some believe, however, the fire has only made their desire to save the town's high school more intense.
