WHEN A COURIER arrived at Weinberg's law office with the opinion, he shouted, "We won!" Weinberg said, however, that Congress has only allocated S8 million for the previously proposed draft legislation and therefore cannot afford to register women. An ACLU spokeswoman in Washington said, "The ACLU Is against registering and drafting anyone in peacetime. We are gratified that the court upheld Important rights for men and women." If Congress changes the law permitting draft registration of women, Weinberg said, "it would be a politically risky thing. It would make it more difficult for the country to get into unpopular wars.

Travel Continued from Al The occupancy rate for hotels and motels ranged from 46 percent in January to 91 percent in July. And Wyoming visitors comprised nearly one-fourth the total occupancy for all hotels and motels in the state, the report said. Its analysis of Park and Teton counties shows that Wyoming visitors lead the list in Park County while Californians are in the tourist majority in Teton County. The purpose of the report is to provide insight into the composition and economic characteristics of the travel industry.

The station currently serves approximately 80,000 viewers in Riverton, Thermopolis, Lander, Worland, Dubois, Shoshoni and the Greybull Basin. "Although we won't be competing with the two Casper stations, KTWO and KCWY, for advertisers right away, we certainly plan to some time," Cantu said. "By beaming into Casper, we will almost double the amount of our potential viewers. That is good for sales in the northern part of the state, and will eventually be good for sales in Casper," he said. KTNW PLANS to have a large in house news staff, as well as bureaus in each of the areas it serves, said KTNW Sales Manager Jon Roberts.

"We've only been on the air up here for three-and-a-half months, and have been concentrating on getting a high quality local news program on the air," said Roberts. "In a while we hope to have one of the largest news teams in the state, providing our viewers with on-location coverage of hard news and sports. I couldn't say exactly when that will be, though," Roberts said. Cantu, who previously worked for KOA television in Denver as a program director, said HlHo also owns WDHN-TV in Dotham, Ala.

ANDERSON WAS greeted by several hundred youthful supporters and his wife Kiki after his flight from London. "In calling for superiority the real danger is that a Reagan administration would launch the most expensive arms race in the history of this republic and with it perhaps increase the incalculable dangers that would go with the kind of response that would be made by the Soviet Union and I think not add to the ultimate security of this country," Anderson said. Anderson said the foreign leaders he spoke with on his 10-day trip were "fearful that an American administration before it is even installed in office is going to be a strain on alliance ties." in Tehran AFTER THE FAILED U.S. rescue attempt April 25, the militants reported they had transferred hostages from he embassy to more than a dozen cities throughout Iran.

Police said one of the gunmen was slightly wounded. A woman seen Seeing the scene was being sought. BESIDES THE POLICEMAN and the 45-year-old woman killed in the exchange of gunfire, another policeman and several people attracted by the noise were wounded. Bakhtiar was named by Iran as a plotter In an abortive coup attempt against Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini which was uncovered tost week. He said he had been expecting the attack tor some time and vowed to "continue struggling for reestabllshtnent of a democratic and constitutional regime in Iran." Officials said the gunmen flashed press cards from the Communist newspaper L'Humanlte to gain entrance to the building.

They pulled guns and opened fire on police in the hallway outside BakhUar's third-floor apartment when the exile leader's son, answering a bell, opened the door slightly but kept It secured by a chain. 'THEY STARTED SHOOTING as soon as the door was ajar," said Bakhtiar, 65. Police said at least seven pistol bullets toll declined about 5 5 percent in the second quarter. "UNTIL THIS DECLINE can be reversed through some combination of reduced inflation, employment growth and tax reduction economic growth is likely to be quite weak, with little or no reduction in unemployment," Mrs. Slater said.

Unemployment, she said, is likely to continue rising during the remainder of this year, possibly reaching a peak of t.i percent to I percent. The latter figure would equal the peak unemployment of the last recession. But in terms of the overall economy and despite the sharp one-quarter GNP drop, Mrs. Slater said she still feels "this is not as deep and not likely to be as prolonged a recession" as 1975, which was the biggest downturn since the Great Depression of the 1930s.

"The 1980 recession struck with full force during the second quarter," Mrs. Slater said. BUT BY THE END of the quarter, she said, forces needed for recovery seemed to have begun: interest rates were down; new home sales, building permits and housing starts were rising; and there were "tentative indications" of increased sales of automobiles and other consumer goods and of reductions In inventories.

If those trends continue, she told a news conference, business will sell off excess inventories, production will revive and "growth will resume before the end of the year." But Mrs. Slater called attention to a big hitch in that recovery. Inflation and recession have reduced the basic purchasing power of Americans. So-called "real disposable personal Income" what an individual has to spend after taxes and inflation have taken their degree mark again.

Anderson told a news conference at Dulles International Airport that Reagan was repudiating the basic philosophy of the last four administrations that relied on the notion of essential equivalence in military strength.
