THE NEWS. Frederick. Maryland 14. FLAMES DESTROY 'NEW YORK' AT MG1VI STUDIO Flames roar through the permanent New York and Fifth Avenue sets in a fire at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studio, Culver City, AP wlrapteto Calif. Also damaged was the adjacent Film- ways building, which is used for production of TV commercials.

The blaze was controlled after an hour. $80 Million Error Made By Computer WASHINGTON (AP) The tax collector's computer can make an $80-million mistake -but apparently it won't make the same one twice. The Internal Revenue Service admitted today its highly touted computer operation figured an $80 million refund last year for a large corporation simply because the company reversed its tax identification numbers. It took humans to right the wrong in an audit. But the computer made up for it this year.

It caught the same mistake by the same corporation before it punched out a refund order. This year, for the first time, all tax returns are being checked fully by the computer, which already has processed 3.21 overseas subsidiary. It pays no million individual returns and credited refunds worth $49 million. More than one in nine taxpayers who filed for refunds through last Saturday made mistakes in completing their forms, IRS said. Errors were discovered both by computer and humans on more than 380,000 of the returns.

Among them were 95,780 errors in arithmetic and 35,000 returns which listed the wrong Social Security number or none at all, IRS added. It's the Social Security number or tax identification number in the case of persons and corporations without a Social Security number which is important in the computer operation. Here's what happened when the computer goofed as related by an IRS source: A large corporation IRS declined to name it filed one return last year for its domestic operations and another for its taxes on the subsidiary operations but must file a return. Despite all the tax and accounting experts employed by the firm, its tax returns were filed with the identification numbers reversed. Since the return of the foreign subsidiary listed the number of the domestic firm, the computer listed a refund check for the subsidiary of about $80 million, a figure IRS said isn't unusual for large corporations.

But the refund was large enough to demand a human audit and the mistake was discovered. Refunds for both corporations and individuals above a certain amount automatically are audited by humans but IRS won't say what the cutoff is. IRS said the firm made the same mistake this year but the computer caught it. It had been programmed to be watchful for anything like last year's error and quickly detected the ra- versed numbers. CIA Charged In Threat To Discredit NSA Aide WASHINGTON (AP Michael Wood, who revealed the Central Intelligence Agency's financial support of the National Student Association charged Sunday that the OIA threatened to forge psychiatric records to discredit an NSA officer.

He said the threat was one of various moves by the CIA to pressure NSA officers into silence about CIA involvement. Eugene president of the NSA, said, however he was unaware of the alleged incident. Wood, former director of development in charge of fund raising for the NSA declined to reveal the source of his information or the target of the alleged forgery threat "for obvious personal Wood the accusation during a three-way interview in which he was joined by Groves and the NSA vice president for international affairs Richard Stearns. The three appeared on the ABC radio-television program Issues and Answers." Wood's charges ran counter to the view of Graves and Stearns that the CIA although its sup port may have resulted in some subtle influence on NSA over seas activities did not exer cise any direct influence on NSA policy.
