Thatcher shuffles Cabinet after scandal LONDON — Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, eager to put Britain's latest sex scandal behind her, reshuffled her Cabinet yesterday and replaced disgraced Cecil Parkinson with tough-talking Employment Secretary Norman Tebbit.

Harassment alleged by Hinckleys DENVER — The family of John W. Hinckley Jr., who attempted to assassinate President Reagan, has filed a $5 million claim against the federal government alleging harassment of the family-run oil firm.

WASHINGTON — President Reagan has decided to appoint Middle East envoy Robert McFarlane to replace William Clark as national security affairs adviser, and a public announcement expected soon, an aide yesterday. McFarlane is expected to fill security post By United Press International The aide said also that "some discussions" had occurred about U.N. Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick's moving to another position at the White House, but the aide said, "I don't think anything is set." The presidential aide said Reagan had informally told top advisers that he had decided on McFarlane. "The president wants to name McFarlene. He thinks he's the right man for the job." he said. Conservatives have been urging Reagan to name Kirkpatrick, rather than McFarlane, as White House national security adviser. THE AIDE, WHO requested anonymity, said Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger and CIA director William "They have been assured that their voices will be heard in the White House," the aide said. Their concerns were "momentary" the aide said, "and I would expect an announcement pretty soon." Casey had to be assured that McFarlane would have the same direct access to Reagan that Clark had in the post. Reagan surprised even his closet aides Thursday by announcing the nomination of Clark to succeed James Watt as interior secretary. Although several conservative Reagan supporters urged the appointment of Kirkpatrick, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Clark reportedly favored McFarlane. McFarlane, Clark's deputy as well as Reagan's special Middle East envoy, was immediately the front-runner for the national security post. ANOTHER PRESIDENTIAL AIDE said Kirkpatrick had indicated that she did not want to remain in New York and was planning to go home. "Your her advice." But he said there had been no formal arrangements as yet for her to take a new position. Clark requires Senate confirmation of the national security appointment does not. "The president has a well-known interest in getting her advice and counsel and would like to continue to do that." he said. mine house chief of staff James Baker, interviewed earlier on CBS-TV "Face the Nation," said he had faced a decision on Clark's replacement He said also that Clark's appointment to the Interior Department would not mean any change in his push to swing toward development of federal land. BAKER DEFENDED THE selection of Clark, an old Reagan personal friend and former California Supreme Court justice, as a logical extension of Reagan's approach to husbanding the nation's vast mineral wealth. The nomination has generated widespread skepticism among environmentalists, who argue he has no background in resource issues. Baker said Reagan had chosen "someone who is . . . going to pursue his policies, which is important to his basic constituency. He gains someone who is readily acceptable to the strength the president has in the West." Asked whether the president is "writing off the environmental vote" in a prospective 1984 re-election bid, bishop McNichols said he is going to write off any vote. "But the fact of the matter is that he thinks — and that's one of the reasons I think he appointed Judge Clark to that position — that there can be a reasonable balance between development and the environment and that the pendulum perhaps had swung too far the other way." WATT, WHO RESIGNED a week ago, often stressed that his development approach to federal land management — including the exploitation of coal reserves and offshore oil resources — was in line with Reagan's efforts to correct an overly protective environmental tilt in the government. nabil's RESTAURANT Public Restaurant/Private Club DAILY SPECIALS—Sun. thru Thurs. - London Broil * Chicken with Garlic Lemon sauce - Shrimp in Wine your choice Institute of Vegetable and Horticulture with other Kansas clubs 6. 95 --- FREE Expires 10/31 - Discover the best color and MAKE-UP CONSULTATION vour face shape.
