NO DRUG SEARCHES AT TWO NEWS UNITS

Capital Cities/ABC Inc., a publishing and broadcasting conglomerate, yesterday assured its employees that no drug searches or tests were being conducted on company premises and that none would be conducted without consultation between management and employees. The assurance came in a memorandum from Daniel B. Burke, the president of Capital Cities, and Thomas S. Murphy, the conglomerate's chairman, that was distributed to allay ''confusion and concern'' among employees at The Kansas City Times and The Kansas City Star in Missouri and at Fairchild Publications in New York City. Employees at both news organizations were warned last Friday that they might be subject to searches by drug-sniffing dogs as part of an experimental escalation of the parent company's drive on drugs.

A DREAMER IN SPACE
Date: 13 January 1986

As a child in San Jose, Costa Rica, Franklin R. Chang-Diaz used to play inside an empty packing crate, pretending that it was a spaceship on its way to a distant star. Yesterday Dr. Chang realized part of his dream, riding into orbit aboard the shuttle Columbia as the first Hispanic American astronaut to fly in space. He came to the United States in 1968 with a one-way airplane ticket, $50 in his pocket, a suitcase, and a dream to fly in space. He had written to the rocket scientist Wernher von Braun asking advice on how to become an astronaut, and Dr. von Braun wrote back, telling the young man to come to America and study science. That was all the encouragement he needed. Relatives in Connecticut agreed to give him a home, and Franklin enrolled in public high school in Hartford. He nearly flunked out at first, but as his English improved so did his grades, and by graduation he had won a scholarship to the University of Connecticut.

BATTLE OF SEXES, WAR OF WORDS
Date: 13 January 1986

Word wars are heating up. After more than a decade of taking a defensive posture against feminist allegations that English usage is biased in favor of the male, men are launching a counterattack. Charging that they have been equally maligned by current usage, activists in men's rights organizations are entering the fray with talk-show appearances and angry letters over language and innuendo in advertisements, movies, news broadcasts, women's magazines and television programming. ''Some of the issues that women have raised about how society views them through language find so many comparables in men's lives,'' said John Rossler, vice president of the Fathers Rights Association of New York State, a group that claims 3,500 members. ''Women changed a lot of attitudes by doing what they did. It's time we did it too.'' And they are not mincing just any words. They are going to the core of American verbal culture by firing salvos at its most sacred symbol: motherhood. Also under siege are doorman, gunman, dirty old man and the traditional characterization of the Devil as male.

SALE BY BINGHAMS MARKS END OF ERA IN KENTUCKY JOURNALISM
Date: 13 January 1986
By Alex S. Jones, Special To the New York Times

George Yater says that when he heard the Bingham family was selling The Courier-Journal, for decades the state's premier newspaper, he felt the way he did when President Roosevelt died. ''I thought, 'My God, what does the future hold?' '' said the 63-year-old Louisville historian, whose distress has been echoed statewide in an outpouring of concern about losing local command of an enormously influential Kentucky institution. At the vortex are the Binghams, the Louisville family that for nearly 70 years have owned and shepherded The Courier-Journal to a national reputation as a newspaper that consistently gave up profit when it interfered with principle or quality. On Thursday Barry Bingham Sr., patriarch of the family, announced that he had decided to sell all their communication holdings, including the morning Courier-Journal and its smaller sister evening newspaper, The Louisville Times.

WANTED: A WRITER WITH STYLE TO REPORT FROM SPACE

Fewer college freshmen are planning careers in computers or engineering now than a year ago, and the total who consider it very important to make a lot of money decreased for the first time in 15 years, according to a new study. While business remained the most popular major, students are slowly returning to careers in education as a small population increase creates a teacher shortage - a turnabout from a decade earlier when there were more teachers than jobs and few people were entering the field, the study found. The researchers also reported that while the majority of the freshmen still considered themselves middle-of-the-road politically, they had historically liberal views on disarmament, military spending, taxes, pollution and abortion.

SOVIET EXPANDS SURVEILLANCE OFF LIBYA, WEINBERGER SAYS
Date: 14 January 1986
By Bill Keller, Special To the New York Times
Bill Keller
Defense Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger asserted today that in the tense period after terrorist attacks in Vienna and Rome, the Soviet Union increased its surveillance of United States Navy movements and is believed to have shared its findings with Libya. A senior Pentagon official later confirmed that the Soviet Union moved eavesdropping ships along the Libyan coast after the terrorist attacks on Dec. 27, apparently because of Libyan fears of a retaliatory bombing strike from an American aircraft carrier. The official said recent United States intelligence reports indicated that the Soviet ships were still monitoring American ship movements and sharing the findings with Libya. ''I suspect it is continuing,'' the official said.

4.3% CUTS NEEDED IN DOMESTIC AREA UNDER BUDGET LAW
Date: 13 January 1986

Federal spending for most nonmilitary programs must be cut by 4.3 percent on March 1 under the terms of a new budget-balancing law, the Reagan Administration and the Congressional Budget Office have concluded. A somewhat larger cut, 4.9 percent, must be made in most military programs, Administration officials said. James C. Miller 3d, the director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, and Rudolph G. Penner, who heads the Congressional Budget Office, plan to announce their conclusion Wednesday, Administration officials said today. Congress Need Not Act The cuts are designed to save $11.7 billion, divided equally between military and other programs, in the current fiscal year. The cuts would be automatic; under the new budget law, no further action by Congress is required.
