has started an $8-billion, five-year program. Since 1965, Congress has steadily stiffened the requirements for automobile safety and emissions. More recently, tough standards for fuel economy have been imposed on the industry. By 1985, every manufacturer will be required to have a fleet performance average of 27.5 miles a gallon. To meet those standards, cars must shed plenty of weight and become far more efficient.

The task calls for "an immense amount of fast-paced, high-priced technological development," says Alan Christman, general manager of manufacturing-industry marketing for Control Data. Christman is one of the executives who spearheads the Bloomington-based firm's growing involvement in the automobile industry. Control Data and International Business Machines Corp.

engineers in Highland Park, where his mission is to help evaluate car designs for the 1980s. Those designs must satisfy increasingly strict federal standards for emissions, fuel economy, passenger safety and comfort. With major assistance from computers, U.S. car manufacturers will spend an estimated $60 billion between now and 1985 in massive programs to redesign their products. Ford Motor for example, expects Star Illustration by Craig Mcintosh ideo maze is coming Three-way TV-channels switch will mix up programs, networks By DANE SMITH and JOHN CARMAN Minneapolis Star Staff Writers Now that the Chinese fire drill involving three Twin Cities television stations and two national networks is finished, TV watchers can prepare for some frantic channel-changing.

Beginning in March, local viewers will encounter a video maze: Most of their favorite shows won't be where they used to be. ABC programs such as "Happy Days," "Laverne Shirley" and "Monday Night Football" will be on KSTP-TV (Channel 5) instead of KMSP-TV (Channel 9). NBC shows such as "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" and "Little House on the Prairie" will be on WTCNTTV (Channel 11) instead of Channel 5.

Only WCCO-TV (Channel 4), which will keep CBS programing, and the public television station, KTCA-TV (Channel 2), will not change. The game of musical networks began in August, when ABC announced it will abandon Channel 9 for Channel 5. It was described as Star Photo by William Seaman The Rev. Harvey Egan, who has been publicly reprimanded by his archbishop, spoke to his congregation St Joan of Arc priest under fire is welcomed home by his parish a marriage of convenience, giving ABC a station with the most popu- lar local news show and giving Channel 5 the top network in prime-time audience ratings. THAT MEANT KSTP had to cut the cord with NBC, leaving that network a choice between KMSP and independent WTCN, owned by New York-based Metromedia Inc.

NBC's announcement Friday that it will affiliate with WTCN completed the three-way switch in programing and will leave Channel 9 standing alone without a network chair among local commercial television stations. Networks sprang a similar switch on Milwaukee viewers last year, when ABC and CBS traded stations. Tim Morrissey, an assignment editor for Milwaukee's WISN-TV news, said that flip-flop less complicated that the Twin Cities switches confused some viewers. A three-way scramble "sounds incredible," Morrissey said. "People are really going to be flipped out." Morrissey said WISN changed from CBS to ABC during a charity telethon on a Saturday night.

"We went on as CBS and came out as another network," he said. In the Twin Cities, NBC's search for another station didn't begin until after the ABC-KSTP announcement. Soon afterward, Tony Cervini and ments of support." St. Joan of Arc was operating yesterday under new restrictions imposed by Roach after he rebuked Egan for the "scandal" caused by Index ming," Egan wrote in the bulletin. But some conservative Roman Catholics outside St.

Joan of Arc parish are not satisfied with just the rebuke given to Egan or with the guidelines he has been ordered to follow. A small group calling itself "Committee of Catholics Who Care" published an "open letter" to Roach calling for Egan's removal. The group's ad in Friday's Catholic Bulletin said, in part: "Your slap-on-the-wrist reprimand to that pastor of St. Joan of Arc Church for his scandalous behavior in inviting an avowed pro-abortionist to deliver the sermon in his church is also a slap in the face to the hundreds of Catholics who are inclined to accept the church's teachings at face value "Why is he allowed to stay on as pastor- Egan Turn to Page 6A By WILLMAR THORKELSON The Star's Religion Editor The Rev. Harvey Egan had a rousing welcome home yesterday when he returned to his admiring congregation at St.

Joan of Arc Catholic Church, two weeks after he was reprimanded by his archbishop. Egan began the 10 a.m. mass by saying, "As I was saying before I was interrupted The controversial pastor was greeted with applause, laughter and a lengthy standing ovation yesterday, his first appearance at the church since he was rebuked by Archbishop John R. Roach for inviting Gloria Steinem, a feminist who favors legalized abortion, to give the homily at masses Sept. 17.

"After the storm comes the rainbow," he told the parishioners and visitors who filled the parish gymnasium at 4457 3rd Av. S. for the first of two contemporary masses. "Thank you for your prayers. Thank you for the tons of state- Steinem sermons.

The restrictions are intended "to assure the integrity of the liturgy" at the parish's contemporary masses. As described in the parish bulletin, the new procedures require that a priest normally the celebrant give the homily at each mass. An "instruction" may be given by a lay person (approved by arch-diocesan officials) before or after the official liturgy. Diane Healy of the NBC affiliate-relations department conducted an "on-site inspection" at both KMSP and WTCN, according to Raymond Timothy, NBC vice-president for affiliate relations. NBC also contacted WCCO, Timothy said, but nothing developed.

As much as I enjoy playing for Gene Mauch, I can't hang around this organization any longer. I'll play anywhere but in free love rather than get married and have their performance suffer like catcher Butch Wynegar's did this season.

Griffith said today he will not comment on the statements by Carew and Dan Ford that they will not return to the Twins. "Players have said things like that for years," he said. "I haven't read the story. I'm not going to say any more about it." Griffith said his speech was misunderstood by a reporter. But that didn't soothe the feelings of some players.

In addition to upsetting Carew, Twins Torn to Page 2A contract in 1976 for an estimated $200,000 a season.

Yesterday, Carew had just finished his 12th season with the Twins.
