An express train filled with homebound vacationers collided with a derailed train tanker in Argentina, killing at least 45 people and injuring 120, police reported. It is summer in the Southern Hemisphere and the vacationers were returning to Buenos Aires from the seaside resort of Mar del Plata, Youths mingling with carnival revelers rampaged through downtown Zurich, Switzerland, before dawn and firebombed a high-fashion clothing store, causing $1.6 million in damage, police said. Elsewhere in the city youths tossed rocks and bottles into shop windows, overturned billboards and advertising kiosks and burned a traffic control stand.

There were no arrests. Authorities said the violence was the work of Zurich's Movement of Discontent, a loosely knit group seeking independent youth facilities. About 500,000 British civil servants begin a series of strikes today that could paralyze the government to protest Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's tough wage policies. The strikes will affect almost all sectors of the bureaucracy, from driving tests to welfare payments to tax collection to air travel. The action could cost the government an estimated $1.3 billion weekly in delayed revenue.

The civil servants are demanding 15 pay increases and Thatcher has refused to go over 7. Another round of U.N. negotiations on the Law of the Sea opens at the United Nations today, with 163 nations invited to this 10th session of the marathon talks. This was to be the final round, but American officials now predict that agreement will not be reached for several years because of U.S. efforts to assure that any treaty-law gives access for private industry to deep seabed mining.

Taylor, signaled a companion that he wanted to surface but then descended in 120 feet of water, a sheriff's spokesman said. It was not known why he wanted to surface. Los Angeles County lifeguards recovered the body and it was taken by helicopter to the coroner's office. An autopsy will be conducted. Two minor earthquakes shook the desert in the Westmoreland area of Imperial County, waking some residents but apparently causing no damage.

Caltcch scientists said one temblor, measuring 3.0 on the Richter Scale, was recorded at 3:09 a.m. Sunday and was followed six minutes later by a quake of magnitude 3.5. The center of both quakes was placed four miles northeast of Westmoreland, a small community south of the Salton Sea and north of the Mexican border. A 32-year-old woman was found shot to death a few blocks from her home in North Long Beach, police said. Homicide detectives said the victim, identified as Linda Parrish, who lived on East 67th Way, was found lying in the street in the 200 block of Cummings Lane.

She had been shot once. A motive for the killing was not known and no suspects were in custody. A San Diego man died from carbon monoxide poisoning and his wife and daughter were seriously injured after they were overcome by fumes from a burning artificial log they had lit inside their camper for warmth, the San Diego County Sheriff's Department reported. The family lit the log inside a cooking pot before going to bed and the wife awoke in the morning and summoned help, a sheriff's spokesman said. The man, identified as Gaelan John Flatt, 31, was found dead in the camper near Lake Cuyamaca, east of San Diego, and the wife and daughter were airlifted to the Naval Amphibious Base at Coronado, where they were given oxygen treatment and transferred to Balboa Navy Hospital.

An early morning fire at a Vernon import mart caused an estimated $1 million damage. A Vernon Fire Department spokesman said it took about 100 firefighters nearly two hours to douse the 5:59 a.m. Sunday blaze at Imports, 2055 East 51st St. No injuries were reported. Cause of the fire was under investigation.

A 7-year-old Palmdale boy was crushed to death when the forward end of a construction trailer on which he and several other youngsters were playing teeter-totter came down on the boy's head. Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies said Mark A. Kellison was killed instantly in the accident, which oc-cured in a vacant lot in Palmdale's industrial area. The State The Nation Guardian Angels Plan Atlanta Effort A high-speed passenger train collided with a truck in northern Taiwan, killing 28 people and injuring 130, many in critical condition, police said. Witnesses said the train continued onto a bridge where five of its coaches derailed and fell into a dry riverbed.

A private television station, financed and directed by a Christian group based in Van Nuys, began broadcasting from the sector of southern Lebanon that is controlled by Israeli-backed Lebanese Christian militias. The evangelical group, known as High Adventure Ministry, already operates a radio station that supports the Christian militias directed by Maj. Saad Haddad and is strongly anti-Palestinian. The two Palestinian guerrillas who piloted hang gliders from Lebanon in an attempted raid on Israeli territory were trained by Syria and planned to bomb the oil refinery at Haifa, Deputy Israeli Defense Minister Mordechai Zippori said. One of the guerrillas, a 16-year-old boy, landed in southern Lebanon by mistake and was captured by rightist Lebanese allies of Israel, news reports said.

The other was captured by Israeli security forces near Haifa. killer" and claiming responsibility for the slayings was received by the Atlanta Constitution and the Atlanta Journal and was filled with police jargon and phrases taunting The Guardian Angels, a volunteer anti-crime group based in New York City, announced plans to dispatch 10 of its members to Atlanta Tuesday to organize that city's youth into a group to deter the murders of more black children. Twenty black children have been killed in Atlanta since July, 1979. The Guardian Angels' leader, Curtis Sli-wa, said his people lack funds for the trip but said truckers had assured him the 10 Angels six blacks and four Latinos led by Lisa Evers, 23 could hitch rides with them. Meanwhile, a letter signed "ghost The United Mine Workers union rounded up several thousand mem-, bers for a march on Washington to protest President Reagan's plans to reduce black lung benefits by $378 million in fiscal 1982.

The union, declaring a two-day workmen's holiday in the coal fields, estimated that 8,000 miners would take part in the rally today outside UMW headquarters in Washington and a march to the Ellipse near the White House. Two men surrendered to police in Vacaville after holding 15 persons at gunpoint for about 30 minutes in a restaurant they had attempted to rob, investigators said. Harold Lee Pepmeyer, 27, and Arnold Lyn Lachenauer, 32, both described as transients, were booked on suspicion of armed robbery, police said. They were being held in Solano County Jail. Pepmeyer also was booked for investigation of five counts of forgery stemming from an outstanding warrant.

Officers responded to a silent alarm at about 1 a.m. at the Coffee Tree restaurant where the manager, who had escaped, told authorities two men inside were holding 15 persons at gunpoint. The suspects surrendered a short time later without incident. Two 31-year-old inmates at the state medical prison in Vacaville were found dead in their cells, victims of apparent separate suicides, officials reported. The deaths came one day after another inmate was stabbed to death, said prison spokesman Bill Taylor.

They were the third and fourth suicides at the facility this year, he said. Neither suicide victim was identified. Taylor said there was no apparent connection between the two deaths, although both men were kept in the prison's Seguin Unit, where psychotic prisoners are housed.

Unseasonably cold temperatures followed the storm, with the thermometer at 5 degrees at Limon, Colo.

Road crews worked to reopen a 75-mile stretch of Interstate 70 from Colby, to Burlington, closed because of the numerous jackknifed trucks that were blocking the road. Walter W. Heller, designer of the 1964 tax cut that revived a flagging U.S. economy, said he believes the Reagan Administration is kidding itself about the prospects for its economic recovery plan. "I think they're somewhat hooked on the 'supply-side' fairy tale," he said on NBC's "Meet the Press." Supply-side economists call for increasing available supplies to meet existing demand, thus reducing upward pressure on prices.

An early response by corporations to President Reagan's proposed tax incentives for capital investment appears unlikely, according to a Conference Board report. In its January survey of the nation's 1,000 largest manufacturers, the board found little change from its October survey in company expectations for capital appropriations and spending in 1981. About 600 Michigan and Illinois residents, vowing to "fight fire with fire," have started a fund-raising campaign and are planning a series of radio and television broadcasts to oppose some of the goals of the Moral Majority. "What I object to are their methods," said Lynne Sil-verberg. "They smack of McCarthyism.

They say anybody who doesn't agree with them is anti-American." More than 600 athletes from, across the nation arrived in the Vermont mountains, were outfitted with equipment and settled in at the Smugglers Notch ski resort at the base of Madonna Mountain. They will train today and then join in the four-day 1981 International Winter Special Olympics. The athletes, all mentally retarded, will be greeted by politicians, social workers, show business personalities actress Susan Saint James is the Special Olympics national chairman for community affairs and be trained by sports stars and coaches. Every athlete will be a winner. They all will leave with at least one ribbon.

"They are told all their lives that 'you can't do that' then they go to the Special Olympics and their whole perspective changes," said Kate Campbell, a teacher and Special Olympics volunteer. Eunice Kennedy Shrlver, founder and president of the Special Olympics, said she got involved because her sister, Rosemary, was retarded. The games are sponsored by the Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. Foundation, but Vermont raised the $600,000 budget on its own.

A crew repainted the set beige has become blue-gray over the weekend, and the chair was raised a bit to accommodate the new man's long legs. Then at a dress rehearsal Saturday, the lighting was adjusted and new camera positions were marked. The old order ended last Friday during prime time. The new boy on the block takes over tonight. Dan Rather, 49, said he will follow the advice of the anchorman he succeeds on CBS Evening News.

Walter Cronklte told him, "Take it easy, and be yourself." With millions of dollars at stake on Rather's ability to preserve his network's dominance over the other two, Rather said he would have Cronk-ite's advice "very much in mind." Tony Seiboid, 11, began his letter with, "My dear, dear Ronald Reagan" and went on to ask for at least one jelly bean for each of the 498 pupils in Adams Elementary School in Quincy, 111. Reagan has his own jelly bean factory, Tony explained, and even "a couple of tons" wouldn't be out of line. But Tally Lasher, who teaches a special education class, said her student Michael Berry, 10, is convinced Reagan will forget about the jelly beans. Michael's gloom might be due in part because Reagan wasn't his choice for the White House. Michael thinks "Carter should have been elected but Reagan will be all right." And, he added, "I like his one Civil have been found in transmission lines in Chicago and Southern California, EPA spokesman Peter Acly said.

Acly said the agency hasn't observed anything, that suggests a health hazard exists but "we can't rule it out." A radioactive gas leak inside a turbine building forced the evacuation of more than 80 Tennessee Valley Authority workers at the nation's largest nuclear power plant in Athens, Ala. TVA officials later said none of the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant workers was "overexposed" to radiation in the leak and that there was no health hazard to people living near the plant. Officials said the leak apparently was caused by, human error and lasted only a few minutes. The Environmental Protection Agency has launched a nationwide monitoring program to determine whether highly toxic PCBs are present in dangerous levels in natural gas transmission lines, agency officials said. The sampling program began about three weeks ago after high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), known to cause cancer in laboratory animals, were found in gas lines on Long Island, N.Y.

In addition, PCBs flw fl til The Nuclear Regulatory Commission, citing past accidents at a nuclear submarine fuel plant in Erwin, has proposed cutting the plant's radioactive emission limits by three-fourths. The commission wants the new limits to take effect at the end of 1981, but Nuclear Fuel Services Inc. owned by Getty Oil wants to wait until the end of 1982. The enriched uranium plant was closed by the NRC for four months in 1979 when plant officials were unable to account for 48V4 pounds of uranium enough to make two bombs. Equipment failures since September released uranium levels below hazardous exposure but the incidents caused concern among Erwin's 4,700 residents.

In Reagan's response to the children's letters, he thanked them for their messages. "The support of our nation's young people is encouraging to me," he told them. "Keep up the good work." But, the children noted, he didn't send any jelly beans. -By JENNINGS PARROTT.
