(AP) Gov. Hugh Carey on Friday ordered an investigation with an eye toward tightening of the state's fire codes after a blaze swept through conference rooms of a suburban Westchester County inn, claiming 26 lives and injuring about 40 persons.

1 Most of the dead and injured were executives of Tnajor national corporations. Arrow Electronics, reporting 13 dead or missing, lost much of its top management, and Nestle Co. named 11 managers as miss-jng and presumed dead. Some had leaped two stories to escape a deadly curtain of blinding smoke and poisonous fumes that Stilled in a matter of moments. There were no sprinklers or fire alarms in the conference-room section of the Stouffer Inn, since they were not required by law.

Had there been, fire officials said, many lives might have been saved. However, sprinklers were installed in the 336- 1 i "6c If 43tt i If UjLZ ifjsl4- I H4 1 li -sh i 4y NININGER Mrs. Barbara M.

The guest rooms were connected to the public area by a covered passageway. "I am firmly convinced that we must have a coun-tywide fire code," declared Westchester District Attorney Carl therefore I have created a special county fire committee. "If the fire codes permit operators of these buildings, where numerous people congregate, to dispense with the use of proper alarms and sprinkling systems, then these codes should be changed. I have no doubt that such devices would have saved many of the lives." The fire here followed by two weeks the MGM Grand Hotel blaze in Las Vegas, Nev, which claimed 84 lives and left more than 700 injured.

A lack of sprinklers was blamed for the high death toll in that fire also. By coincidence, Howard Levin, of Great Neck, an executive of Arrow Electronics, escaped uninjured in both fires. He was attending company sales meetings in each case. Meanwhile, Carey ordered Secretary of State Basil Paterson, in charge of fire prevention for the state of New York, to join county officials in investigating the Stouffer blaze over the weekend and to report to him on Monday. "By Monday they will have in my hands their recommendations to deal with this matter," Carey added'Over the long pull it would look like we need some tightening of the code.

"I think all of us are surprised and upset that this could happen. With the technology we have, we find highly expert business executives who normally don't take chances with their lives, are wiped out." When the fire erupted at 10:20 a.m. Thursday, the inn had meetings of executives from Arrow Electronics, Nestle, General Foods International Business Machines and Pepsico, Inc. Trading in Arrow shares was halted on the New York Stock Exchange upon word of the death in the fire of the company president, Biddle Duke Glenn, 44, and two of his top corporate lieutenants. Computer equipment in the Arrow meeting room was impounded in the search for some clue as to the origin of the blaze, the worst in the history of Westchester County.

McNeill, age 82, of 4004 Bay Ave. will be held at An Iranian communique broadcast by Tehran Radio said the pipeline and railway line at the major Persian Gulf port of Bandar-Shah-pur were destroyed as a result of the Iraqi air attack. Iranian authorities issued immediate orders to repair the damage, Pars said. The chemical complex there has been raided frequently by Iraqi jets since the war erupted Sept. 22.

Iraqi communiques said the giant Iranian oil complex in the besieged city of Abadan was gutted by new fires as a result of concentrated Iraqi air and long-range artillery attacks. They said Iraq's oil terminal of Fao also came under heavy fire from Iranian artillery positions in Abadan, 35 miles away. Iran said Iraqi helicopter gunships mounted daybreak raids on Abadan, apparently in an attempt to foil the Iranian artillery attack on Fao. BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) Iran said Iraqi bomber jets destroyed a main oil pipeline in a Friday raid on the Iranian port of Bandar-Shahpur and claimed its jets and artillery pounded the Iraqi oil terminal of Fao for the second day. Iran said the Iraqis tried to shell a Friday prayer congregation in Ahwaz, capital of the southwestern oil-producing Khuzistan province.

Three persons were killed and 23 wounded in the shelling, which missed its main target, the official Pars news agency reported. An Iraqi communique broadcast by Baghdad Radio said Iraqi forces killed 50 Iranian troops in day-long battles along various sectors of the border and shot down five Iranian jets and one helicopter gunship. Iraqi losses as a result of the day's fighting was put at 10 killed. tary of State Warren M. Christopher to Algiers this week.

Algeria is acting as a mediator. The 52 Americans were seized on Nov. 4, 1979, as Islamic militants overran the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. All efforts to gain their freedom, including a commando raid ordered by President Carter last April, have failed.

In trying to speed a settlement, a U.S. official said Friday, the administration has transmitted to Iran -statements by President-Elect Ronald Reagan pledging to abide by any agreement reached before he takes office. At the same time, the official said, if there is no agreement by Jan. 20 the new administration "necessarily will wish to take time to review" the negotiations. "We are, therefore, trying to make the maximum progress before Jan.

20," said the official, who barred use of his name. Iranian communiques also reported heavy artillery and helicopter gunship assaults in Khuzistan province as the two sides fought for control of the strategic Kharkhe River bridge. The bridge gives access to the town of Susan-gerd, 20 miles east of the Iraqi border. Hand-to-hand fighting was reported on the approaches to Susangerd, where a key highway leads to Ahwaz. Tehran Radio reported 30 Iraqis were killed in the Susangerd fighting.

Meanwhile, in Washington, the Carter administration said there is no sign of a breakthrough from Tehran over the 13-month-old hostage issue. Officials said differences over the terms set by the Iranian parliament for release of the 52 Americans more than a month ago remain unresolved. The latest U.S. message a five-page, double-spaced explanation of legal and technical problems was delivered by Deputy Secre sisters, Mrs. Anna Smith, Tampa and Gustel Dhonau, Germany; brother, Joseph Steinmetz, Germany.
