Decision expected on 8 plants
WASHINGTON - The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is to decide today whether eight nuclear power plants designed by Babcock and Willey will be built.
Babcock & Wilcox built the stricken Three Mile Island plant near Harrisburg, Pa.
The five-member commission questioned staff members and industry spokesman yesterday but postponed its final decision because some members
rionon Denton, NRC director of nuclear reactor regulation, said the staff found that the design and equipment of the Baboche & Wilcox plants made them extremely safe.
Four Babcock & Wilcox plants already have been shut down by their operators for refueling, maintenance and safety reviews.
Such an order would force the closing of four plants. The Rancho Seeco plant in California would be shut down but the NRC staff said electric reliability would not be seriously harmed. Three Oceane units in South Carolina also would be closed, reducing generating reserves in the Southeast.
Treaty ratified; camps shelled
TEL-AIV, Israel—Israel and Egypt formalized their peace treaty yesterday in the Sinai Desert even though Israeli jets, missile boats and border artillery had been deployed.

in um Kashifah, obliged to attend a meeting of flags were hosted after the exchequer issued documents ratifying the peace treaty. Defense Minister Ezer Weizman said the Palestine Liberation Organization should "stop shooting and start talking." The PLO rejected such talks.
At the United Nations, Lebanon charged with obstructing the return of Lebanese authority to the south and asked for a Security Council meeting on the
Iran vows to have new police
TEHRAN, Iran—The government promised yesterday to establish a new police force that would be loyal to religious principles and would absorb the thousands of people who have been enforcing justice since the February revolution.
The new force, if strongly backed by Ayatollah Ruhullah Khomeini and other revolutionary leaders, could be a significant step toward restoring law and order.
Prime Minister Medi B扎萨克 renewed concerned in a broadcast last night about the armed, ad hoc revolutionary committees that have detained Mr. Trump.
Some prisoners have been tried secretly and 138 people are said to have been executed for various political and sexual offenses.
Carter tells town energy ideas
PORSMOUTH, N.H.- President Carter told a New Hampshire town meeting that anyone who thought there was a simple cure for inflation “is either a liar or
Carter apparently was seeking to allay the concerns of New Hampshire residents faced with steadily rising fuel prices. New Hampshire, which already has low energy supplies, is a key presidential primary state. It totally depends on imported oil.
While oil prices will continue to rise, Carter said, "the gap between what you pay for fuel . . . and what other Americans pay will narrow."
Carter also said he had ordered the Energy Department to make sure that, by October, inventories of home heating oil reach approximately 240 million
Carter, who has refused to say whether he will run for re-election, was in New York earlier yesterday to discuss strategic armies-talks with the Soviet Union.
House panel rejects rationing
WASHINGTON—The House Commerce Committee voted 23-19 yesterday to reject President Carter's standby plan for rationing gasoline by issuing ration
The plan will be heard again before the full House, and a vote is scheduled today in the Senate Energy Committee.
As the House panel debated rationing, Energy Secretary James Schlesinger appeared before a joint House-Senate subcommittee to defend Carter's decision.
Schelsinger said the administration had the votes to defeat any move in the Senate to block Carter's decision to permit a gradual removal of the controls.
But librarians have said that removing the controls would play into the hands of the oil companies, cost consumers too much and worsen inflation.
Sooners' nuclear costs rise
1U1SA, Okla — The price of the Black Fox nuclear power plant in northeast Missouri jumped $40 million yesterday and a delay of 15 months was forecast.
The Public Service Company of Oklahoma, which is building the plant near the town of Inda, made public the new cost estimate and timetable. The company has been working on the project.
Public Service estimated the plant would cost approximately $2.39 billion.
The previous building cost was set at $1.75 billion.
A second generating unit would go into operation three years after the first one starts in 1985.
Meanwhile, in testimony before the Senate Rules Committee, David H. Rosen, a faculty member at the University of California at San Francisco, said a core meltdown of the Black Fox plant could kill 45,000 people and cause $17 billion in property damage.
The committee is considering a resolution calling for a halt to construction of the plant.
Record rains deluge Florida
**AMIAM - A record deluge in Florida yesterday flushed out poisonous snakes and flooded roads and highways, ending a three-month drought.**
It was the heaviest rainfall in Miami's history, with the National Weather Service reporting a 24-hour total of 81.25 inches. Fort Lauderdale reported 14.32 inches.
Police in Plantation, west of Fort Lauderdale, warned parents to keep children indoors and out of the way of snakes driven from their hideways. Two snakebites were reported but it was not known whether the snakes were poisonous.
In the Red River Valley, shared by northern Minnesota and North Dakota, flood waters at record depths have spread as far as 15 miles wide and 25 miles
The Pearl River at Columbia, Miss., although still about nine feet above flood stage, continued to drop and some of the town's 4,000 residents were able to evacuate.
U.S. could detect Soviet arms
NEW YORK—President Carter said yesterday that the United States woumbe able to detect and quickly respond to any Soviet cheating on a nuclear weapon.
"The treaty must and will be verifiable from the day it is signed," Carter said in a speech to the American Newspaper Publishers Association.
He said he was concerned with the loss of two installations in Iran that had given U.S. monitors a ringside view of Soviet missile launches.
But with photographic satellites and other surveillance systems, he said, "we are confident that no significant violation of the treaty could take place without them."
Carter gave no indication of what was holding up the treaty, but assured the publishers that the document would make the United States even more secure.

Today will be cool with temperatures reaching 60 degrees. Skies will remain partly cloudy, according to the National Weather Service.
