(AP) The bodies of a woman and eight children, some of them bound and gagged and some apparently with head injuries, were found today in a house gutted by a fire believed to be arson. State police called it "the worst mass homicide" in Connecticut's history.

Knutson WASHINGTON (AP) A Senate committee chairman today called on federal budget director Bert Lance to explain the circumstances surrounding a $3.4 million loan last January that, he used to buy bank stock.

Lance was asked to appear Monday before the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee to explain why the National Bank of Georgia deposited $200,000 in the First National Bank of Chicago one month before Lance obtained a $3.4 million loan from the Chicago bank to finance his purchase of National Bank of Georgia stock. Lance resigned as president of the Georgia bank to become President Carter's budget director. A spokesman for Lance said the budget director had agreed to appear before the committee Monday. THE COMMITTEE delayed a decision on Lance's request that he be released from his promise made during confirmation hearings to sell his bank stock by the end of the year. Lance has said the stock has declined in value since he bought it and a forced sale could cost him more than $1 million.

Sen. Abraham Ribicoff, chairman of the committee, said a vote on whether to proceed with a full-scale conflict-of-interest investigation of Lance's finances will be put off until after Lance is given an opportunity to explain the circumstances of the loan. A spokesman for Lance denied any impropriety and said there is "absolutely no connection" between the National Bank of Georgia's opening a "correspondent" account at the First National Bank of Chicago and the subsequent loan by the Chicago bank to Lance. RIBICOFF SAID the questions surrounding the loan are serious and it is the committee's responsibility to determine the facts. He said the comptroller of the currency may decide to launch a separate investigation.

Ribicoff was supported by other senior committee members. But some junior Democrats disagreed strongly and the panel seemed di-; vided on how to proceed. Ribicoff proposed that Philip Manuel, the chief investigator of the Senate permanent investigations subcommittee, be assigned to trace Lance's bank dealings. Sen. Henry Jackson, said, "What we're really talking about is a need to get the facts, fairly and impartially." Sen.

The eighth child killed was a visiting cousin. "Some of the firemen found some of the children in there bound, so we're treating it like a murder," a state police spokesman said. POLICE SAID THEY were interviewing some 50 persons in connection with the fire, and among them was a childhood companion of the father. State Trooper William McCas-land said the man had been living in the basement of the Beaudoin home for several years. A neighbor, Dan Walsh, said he saw the man last night and again early today sitting in a black sedan in a church parking lot about a mile from the house.

Another neighbor, Frances Paoli-no, said she saw a black car driving down the street when smoke from the blaze woke her about 3:30 a.m. Dr. Elliot Gross, chief state medical examiner, said "there is evidence of head injuries to some" of the victims, but he refused to say how many or how many had been bound and gagged. The bodies were all burned. Officials said the causes of death would have to await autopsies.

The modest, one-story wood-frame house is in a suburb of Waterbury, an industrial city in central Connecticut. The streets are often filled with children. POLICE SAID THE father was working the midnight-to-7 a.m. shift as an inspector at a Pratt Whitney plant in nearby North Haven when the fire occurred. The plant makes aircraft engines.

The dead children were identified as Fred 12; Sharon, 10; Debbie, Paul, Rod, Holly, Mary Lou, and the cousin, Jennifer Santoro, 6, of Waterbury. "What could they possibly have done wrong to deserve this," said Joseph Paolino, who lives across the street and discovered the fire. He said flames were already shooting from the home when he arrived. "I opened the back door and got driven back by a blast of heat. Then the picture window blew out," he said.

Mrs. Paolino said the Beaudoins were friendly and polite neighbors, who caused no trouble. THERESA BAINER, another neighbor, said, "The mother was always with the' kids. She lived for them." On Sundays at St. Anthony's Roman Catholic Church, "you'd see her in church with the whole pew filled with her kids," she said.

The neighborhood has many families with small children, and Bainer said the Beaudoins had recently bought a camper so they could take their children to country spots on vacations and weekends. By Harold Morse Star-Bulletin Writer PARK RIDGE, III. (AP) Horrified employes arrived at their modern suburban office building today to find four men shot to death and heaped atop each other in a bloody elevator like rag dolls. A police investigator frqm nearby Chicago called it a "professional assassination" and said 25 to 30 shots had been fired. But another source said there was "no indication of mob involvement." The victims were three businessmen who dealt in burglar alarms and a man thought to be related to one of the others.

They were last seen alive about 10:30 p.m. yesterday in their offices in the building. Chicago police were called in to help police from this well-to-do suburb northwest of Chicago. Park Ridge officers were saying little. THE KILLINGS WERE discovered minutes before 8 a.m.

when a secretary, entering through the underground parking garage, inserted her pass key in the lock for the elevator. The doors slid open. She gaped in horror. "She came screaming out of the building, running across the street, hysterical," an attendant at a nearby service station said. He called police, but meanwhile, B.L.

Sershon, district manager for the Mirro Aluminum which also has offices in the building, called for the same elevator. When the door opened, I saw them," he said. "The four men were piled atop each other in a bloody mass." The three businessmen were associates in U.S. Universal Systems Co. Park Ridge police identified two of the men as Malcolm Russell, 36, of Chicago and Joseph Larose, 35, of Inverness, another suburb.

The other two victims were not identified immediately. no right to condemn him so long as he does not harm them. ANOTHER YOUTH said, "I know many homosexual relationships that are very positive; I know many heterosexual relationships that are not." "Why should we change if we're happy the way we still another asked. Bosgra insisted that homosexuality goes against nature, that male and female roles are clearly defined in the animal kingdom, for example. "Now the thing we must accept is that homosexuality is not normal," Bosgra said.

"Since when did God die and leave you in charge?" a member of the audience loudly protested. Bosgra earlier had referred to a man named Guy Charles, a leader in the Gay Liberation movement of the 1960s, as an example of a homosexual who became converted to Christianity and became a heterosexual. Charles has led many homosexuals into Christianity and heterosexuality since then, Bosgra said. come heterosexual," a young man said. "That's the tragedy of it," Madden responded.

He said he is a Lutheran. "Good Lutherans don't believe what you do," she said. "I am a good Lutheran; I am a homosexual, and I am proud of it," he said. BOSGRA QUOTED passages from the Old and New Testaments that he said indicated God views heterosex-uality favorably and hates homosexuality. "But there's no place in the Scriptures that we will find God hates a homosexual," Bosgra said, adding, "The Christian viewpoint is misunderstood." Shortly after, a young man in the audience said that for Bosgra to flatly say God hates homosexuality is "grossly inappropriate" and a "cardinal sin in itself.

To say that God is against it is going too far." Another saw nothing wrong with the views Madden and Bosgra were stating but reported, "The point is, I don't believe the Bible." He said Madden and Bosgra have "You may be born with the tendency to homosexuality; nobody is born with the behavior," Gerri Madden declared last night to an assembled group of homosexuals. "Pray and ask God to help you." She told about 35 persons at the Sexual Identity Center in Pauoa that she and one of her two brothers, who are priests, have known of homosexuals who wanted to become heterosexuals and said that with God's help, they succeeded. "They had to pray, they had to suffer, and they were cured," she said. Madden and Terry Bosgra, who is with the Oahu Association of Evangelicals and National Association of Evangelicals, were invited to present their views last night at a "Gay Rap Program" at the center. The session was moderated by the center's executive director, William E.

Woods. THE GROUP'S reaction to Madden was, for the most part, courteous. A retired teacher, she is known for vigorous lobbying against prostitution, pornography and homosexuality. But there was no indication that any minds -were changed. for example, don't want to be Two Federal Unemployment Payment Programs to End any kind of unemployment compensation.

Currently, in Hawaii the insured unemployment rate is about 4 per cent. ALSO, DURING the first week in August as had been announced several months ago persons recev-ing Federal Supplemental (unemployment) Benefits will receive their last checks. These benefits, funded entirely by the federal government, will end because Congress did not renew the law which authorized them. And when bcth the Federal Supplemental Benefits and Extended Benefits programs end, there will be only Turn to Page A-4, Col. 1 By Phil Mayer Star-Bulletin Writer About 5,000 unemployed workers in Hawaii will receive their last unemployment compensation payments during the next two weeks.

The Federal Supplemental Benefits and Extended Benefits'pro-grams, which stretched pay for unemployed persons from 26 to 52 weeks, are both ending. A troubled Robert deputy director of the State Department of Labor and Industrial Relations, said today, "This is going to be hard on a lot of people." Unemployment checks, which can be as high as $120 a week, averaged $88 a week in June in Hawaii. 11 The 5,000 persons who will be cut off Federal benefits will bring to 000 the number of persons in the state who between February 1975 and May 1977 used up all unemployment compensation available to them. Although some such persons are sure to have found jobs, the Labor Department believes that most have-not. GILKEY NOTED the termination of the two federal programs under which the extended payments were made will mean that starting in August there will be $2.1 million less in spendable income in the State than there was in June.

He noted, "It makes things much worse that we were told only on-Tuesday by the federal government that the last payments under the Extended Benefit program are to be made next week." The congressionally mandated program which is funded half by the State and half by the federal government is to end because for the week ending July 2 the national insured unemployment rate dropped below 4.5 per cent. That means at the end of that week the number of persons receiving payments under the Extended Benefits program was less than 4.5 per cent of the total number of persons in the nation who are receiving J- wmnmwM 5 rp rm" Mnr Ili.ii nil HirfifiiiW 11 liri'MU'rW III A. mt0 Your Health Dear Abby B-4 Editorials A-22 Kokua Line A-3 Obituaries C-5 Pulse B-5 Sports C-l Today B-l TV Logs A-18 Weather A-3 Aloha Eden A-8 Amusements B-5 Astrology A-18 Bridge A-18 Business A-19 Stock List A-20 Classified C-8 Comics A-18 Crossword, A-18 TANKER BURNS Smoke billows from a Greek oil tanker, the Dauntless Colocotronis, at New Orleans today after an explosion in the engine room as the ship approached a refinery dock; Two men were injured, and oil leaked into the Mississippi River.
