The decline was expected by most economists, who say the job market is improving although at a slower rate than earlier in the year. The reports were the latest signs of a slowing economy after four interest rate increases engineered by the Federal Reserve to head off any inflationary pressures. Many analysts believe the three-year-old housing recovery peaked in December, when starts jumped to a 1.61 million annual rate, highest since January 1989.

Unable to sustain that pace and frozen in many parts of the nation by the severe winter, starts plunged 21.2 percent the following month although they regained some of the loss in February and March. But, together with new home sales, they slipped again in April when mortgage rates averaged 8.32 percent, up from 6.97 percent during the week preceding the first Fed rate increase. The home builders say a rate increase from 7 percent to 8 percent would boost the monthly payments on a $100,000 mortgage by $68. Rates reached 8.77 percent by May 12, highest since 8.84 percent in May 1992. Although they had fallen to 8.25 percent by last week, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp.

reported Thursday they had inched back up to 8.33 percent this week. Applications for building permits fell 1.6 percent in May, to a 1.36 million rate, after rising 5.1 percent a month earlier. Permits often are a barometer of future activity. Regionally, new construction jumped 11.2 percent in the South, to a 694,000 rate, and rose 4.1 percent in the West, to 355,000. BY JOHN D.

McCLAIN ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER WASHINGTON Builders, seeing home sales slowed by higher mortgage rates, cut back construction of single-family houses in May for the second straight month. Many analysts said higher rates will curb activity for the remainder of the year, although they predict single-family housing starts in 1994 will total more than the previous year. "The single-family sector is the bulk of the industry and we're starting to see it taper off," said economist David Lereah of the Mortgage Bankers Association. "We're seeing a general drift down in single-family starts," agreed economist Stan Duobinis of the National Association of Home Builders. "Interest rates are moderating a little now, which certainly will keep the decline from being overwhelming, but we will see a continued decrease." I The Commerce Department said Thursday that overall housing starts rose 2.6 percent in May, to a seasonally adjusted 1.51 million annual rate.

Increases in the South and West offset declines in the Northeast and Midwest. But the growth was entirely in construction of apartment buildings. Single-family starts, which represent 80 percent of housing construction and are most affected by mortgage rate changes, slipped 0.5 percent, to a 1.20 million rate. They had fallen 5 percent in April, to 1.21 million. And although multi-family starts jumped 16.7 percent, to a 308,000 rate, many analysts said the increase was unsustainable and predicted construction would decline in June.

Despite the drop in the single-family sector, housing starts for the first five months of 1994 were 21.1 percent higher than a year earlier. For all of 1993, starts totaled 1.29 million; many analysts expect they will climb to nearly 1.40 million this year.

The company plans to build facilities in each of these areas at the same time, but could not specify which communities in those areas would be the first to receive service. About 3 million people should have access to the service within three years of construction. Customers would be charged between $8 and $12 a month for a "basic connection," a coaxial cable line into the home to receive the service. On top of that, consumers would pay fees for programs.

The systems will have a capacity of at least 497 channels, according to the filing. Of the nation's regional phone companies, Bell Atlantic is the most ambitious in its efforts to get into the cable television business. Earlier this year, it opened a multi-millibn-dollar program production and distribution center. It was the first of only two regional Bell companies to be allowed to own video programs and deliver them directly to telephone customers. US West on Wednesday received federal court relief from a 1984 law that bars telephone companies from providing cable service.

The cable industry opposes Bell Atlantic's efforts to provide video services and has filed petitions to the FCC. Consumer groups also have raised concerns about Bell Atlantic and other phone companies' plans to provide video services. They have alleged that only prosperous areas would be wired for service. Neighborhoods with large minority populations and poor communities would be left out, they contend.

The plan, which was filed Thursday, must be approved by the Federal Communications Commission before Bell Atlantic can begin building the networks to offer consumers broadcast channels, cable programs, shopping services and movies on demand. It also plans to offer a variety of interactive services through which customers can electronically send and receive formation about health care or education using their TV sets.

ROSENTHAL ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER BETHESDA, Md. Martin Marietta Corporation will move most of its space systems operations from San Diego to Denver, eliminating 400 jobs in the process, officials said Thursday.

The move, which consolidates Martin Marietta's Titan and Atlas space launch vehicle operations, will involve about 1,800 positions, the company said. Although expected, it is the latest blow to Southern California's faltering aerospace economy. The company will retain a manufacturing and assembly center and its Space Magnetics business in San Diego. About 300 people will be employed in those operations by the end of 1995. The consolidations "will reduce costs by more than one-half billion dollars over the next 10 years," Martin Marietta's announcement said.

"The savings predominately will accrue to the U.S. Air Force for the Titan 4 program and will benefit Atlas customers by enhancing the stability of that program." The consolidation was forecast in February when Martin Marietta asked for government concessions to reimburse it for the purchase of General Dynamics' space systems unit. Martin Marietta bought Space Systems from General Dynamics for $208.5 million in a transaction completed May 2. 2 44 13 2634 16 4008 12 4548 13 2657 8 8346 28 3671 27 853 10 3276 FalrCp FamDlr 0.34 Federa FedNM 2.40 FedrDS FstChc 2.00 FtData 0.12 FtFnMg 010 FUnB 3.00 3 14 4- 7 4- 87 4- 22 50-2 45 58 4- 77-l $75 to $81; smaU No. 1: 400 to 450 to $81.
