Watt was confirmed as the Senate stayed late in an effort to complete action on Reagan's Cabinet designees. The lone votes against Smith and Baldridge were cast by Sen. William Promize, D-WA, who said he was displeased with the vote to spell out "defeat" in response to the subsequent appalling and partisan actions. Before the vote on Watt, the Senate approved seven other Cabinet nominees, three of them unanimously. Confirmed by roll call votes were: William French Smith, attorney general; 9-1; John R. Block, Secretary of agriculture, 9-8; Malcolm Baldry, Secretary of commerce, 9-8; Pierce Jr., Secretary of housing and urban development, 9-8; Drew Lewis, Secretary of education, 9-8; James Edwards, Secretary of energy, 9-3; and J.

Weinberger calls for defense boost WASHINGTON—Defense Secretary Casper Weinberger said yesterday, in his first message to the armed forces, that the Reagan administration would rearm the United States to boost American combat readiness and restore the strategic balance of power with the Soviet Union. Weinberger said that a "strong, confident America" was willing to fight for its freedom as the best hope for peace. The secretary already has begun revising the Carter administration's $1 billion defense budget for the fiscal year ending Oct. 1, to "reflect the continued urgency of addressing the nation's nuclear threat." President Reagan expressed in his inaugural speech "the hopes of the American people for a stronger, safer America." Weinberger said he was honored to be part of Reagan's efforts to improve the readiness of existing military units and to begin to restore strategic balance. U.S., El Salvador sign food agreement SANSALVADOR, El Salvador—As the United States signed an agreement to send food and arms to El Salvador, attacks by guerrillas continued throughout the country. The food agreement, signed yesterday, provides for sale of $12.7 million worth of U.S. food commodities this year at favorable terms. In return for the favorable long-term loan package, El Salvador agreed to help its rural poor increase farm production by announcing feed grain prices before planting, by adjusting those prices to reflect changes in costs of production and by supporting agrarian reform. In Washington, Pentagon sources said Wednesday the first shipments of U.S. arms arrived in the war-torn Central American nation. The supplies, including M-16 automatic rifles, grenade launchers and ammunition, are part of a $5 million U.S. military aid package to the rulong juta. It was the second reported rebel attempt at sea invasion since Jan. 14. Meanwhile, government troops yesterday repulsed a pre-dawn guerrilla attack by ases on a Pacific coast town south of San Salvador, driving off seven cars. In other actions, leftist saboteurs dynamited towers carrying electricity from Cerro Grande Dam, about 12 miles north of San Salvador, blacking out the capital and surrounding towns for seven hours early yesterday, authorities said. Military intelligence and other witnesses said well-armed leftist guerillas were regrouping in the northern province of Chalatenango, possibly to renew a general offensive against the U.S.-backed junta. Waste proposals submitted by Carlin TOPEKA-Gov. Carlin's office yesterday suggested that a moratorium on development of new hazardous waste sites should be established until Kansas is able to form an interstate compact for regional waste management. The recommendation was one of seven introduced by Stephen Holsteen, an alder to the governor, at hazardous waste control hearings before the House Committee on Homeland Security. Other Carlin proposals include an increase of $230,000 in the budget of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment to pay for programs including the creation of a hazardous waste unit to deal solely with waste control. Carlin, spurred by national and local incidents demonstrating the potential dangers of hazardous waste disposal, has made the issue one of his priorities. Carlin's proposal for an interstate compact would "allow Kansas and the state to make agreements from states which are not members of the compact." Holmes explained. Also, he said, it will insure better management of wastes because no one state will be required to develop facilities capable of handling all types of wastes. Parents agree to Siamese separation NASHVILLE, Tenn. The teen-age mother of Siamese twins said yesterday that she and her husband would give doctors permission to try to separate their daughters even though one of the infants may die to save the other. "My husband told me, yes, they are going to operate," said Katherine Self, who has not seen her babies since they were delivered Sunday by Gavin Anderson. The young couple was faced with the "terrible, terrible ethical" decision of whether to allow the twins to remain joined and face life as a "circus freak"—as a doctor put it—or risk one or both of the twins in an attempt to separate them. "It it's at all possible, which I believe it is, they'll try to save both lives." Self said. "My husband told the doctors decided that the operation is successful." Magnate bargains for London Times "I wouldn't want my babies to die," Self said. "But if they can't live a normal life and can't walk, what kind of life will that be?" LONDON—The London Times and its associated London publications were sold yesterday to Rupert Murdoch, an Australian press magnate whose newspaper empire includes several U.S. publications. Murdoch's papers have been noted for sex, sensation and scandal. The twins, Marie Lynn and Samantha Dawn, are joined from the sternum to the navel. A team of specialists, who completed tests on the girls during their internships, were sent to them. If Murdoch fails to win union approval, the Thomson organization will attempt to sack the Times titles separately. If this fails, the publications would be suspended. The Canadian-based Thoronan organization announced the sale at a news conference, saying it was conditional only on Murdoch winning within three weeks. The immediate reaction from leaders of unions representing journalists, and mechanical and clerical workers was both wary and favorable.
