(UPI) -Gov. Mario Cuomo has added his plan to the list of proposals for - restructuringthePublicService Commission, but'he says the Senate apparently.stands in the way of an agreement. The governor Tuesday sug- - gested creating an independent Office of Consumer Advocate within the Department of | , Public Service, to make con sumers' case against proposed rate hikes, The commission has come under increasing fire in recent years for granting large rate increases to power and tele- phone utilities. Other reorgani- zation proposals would split the commission into two or three parts. Cuomo said he believed agreement could be reached on a plan among Democrats. However, he added, \It looks as though the problem is on the Senate side where, for whatev- erreason, they appear to object to anything that touches the PSC.\ Meanwhile, the governor told the Legislative Forum his priorities for the rest of the. current session were passage of an increase in unemployment benefits, a state pickup of most local Medicaid costs, and a $1.25 billion bond issue to repair roads and bridges. If approved by lawmakers, the bond issue would go on the November election ballot. On the PSC issue, the governor's proposed Office of Consumer Advocate would be an independent unit within the Department of Public Service. The chief advocate would be appointed by the governor and not answer to the PSC chatrman. _| Currently, consumers are represented in rate cases by the PSC staff. Critics of the commijssion contend that be- cause staff works for PSC Chairman Paul Gicia, the members may not push the consumers' point of view as vigorously as if they were an independent group. Some lawmakers also want to establish a separate Citizens' Utility Board, which would be funded by voluntary contribu- tions by the public. Cuomo has introduced his own version of that idea. Under Cuomo's bill, individu- al members of the seven-person commission would each be granted two professional staff members. Currently, commis- sioners must rely on the regular PSC staff, which is controlled by Gioia. In addition, a new Office of Utility Efficiency and Audits would supervise audits of utilities, and a 10-member Incentives Advisory Council wwldevaluafepolicyquesfim tionof utilities.

(UPI) - A newly discovered comet - a celestial slush ball described as \a fairly largeblob of light\ - streaked today to within 3 million miles of Earth, closer than any comet has come in more than 200 years. The close encounter, de- scribed as a \near-miss\ in astonomical terms, gives scien- tists arare opgortunity to study the space phenomenon, and gives amateur star-gazers a glimpse at a rare, naked-eye comet. The faint smudge of light, visible through Saturday but best seen on the West Coast today just before dawn, is thought to be about 404000 miles across with a nucleus of frozen water, carbon dioxide and methane about a mile in diameter. Its tail of gas stretches more than 300,000 miles behind the comet's bright head. The comet, named IRAS- Araki-Alcock for the recently launched - Infrared Astronomical Satellite and two amateur astronomers credited with its discovery, came closer to Earth than any comet since Lexell in 1770, when telescopes were much less advanced. \It was larger than the moon Monday | night,\ Dr. Russ Walker, a member of the IRAS project, said Tuesday. \It's a fairly we biob of light.\ Scientists at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico and the Deep Space bletwork Tracking Station in California's Mojave Desert will try to make Village Board: radar observations to learn moreabout the comet's rotation axis, the size of its nucleus and its texture. The exceptionally close prox- imity will give scientists an unprecedented opportunity to study a comet in detail, JPL Astronomer Stephen Edberg said.\ >- The unexpected arrival of the comet, whith was confirmed just last week, sent some: astronomers scrambling for telescopes to observe the celestial body, Edberg said. \If you know in advance a comet is coming, you can schedule telescope time and get- the best instrument (lens) on the telescope,\ Edberg said. \Now we have to try and get the best we can.\ Scientists thought the comet was an astéroid when the satellite transmitted its first data on the body April 25. However, when the comet was later photographed by Genichi Araki and George Alcock, they checked again and determined it was a comet. \It's always interesting to know about our neighborhood in the solar system,\ said astro- nomer Jay Pasacoff of Wil- liams College in Williamstown, Mass., where students and scientists searched for the comet. Edberg reported Tuesday another new comet has been discovered by three Japanese astronomers, the fifth comet reported this year. He said little was known yet about the newest one, named Sugano- Saizusa-Fujijawa for the scien- tists who discovered it. He said it was passing through the constellation An- dromeda and 'should be visible with almost any binoculars.\ ''We just don't know very much about it yet,\ he said. \'It's moving slowly in the sky. We don't know if it's approach- ing or retreating from the sun. We have no idea when it was last near Earth, or even if it was.' Boy Loses Liver Transplant Battle MEMPHIS, Tenn.

PRICE - 25° | Arms Control \ Stance Hinted Reagan May Modify Hard-Line Position By HELEN THOMAS UPI White House Reporter WASHINGTON (UPI) - President Reaganis conducting lobbying campaign to win congressional approval of the MX missile by indicating he may modify his hard-line position on nuclear arms control. Pushed to make concessions as an incentive to MX holdouts on Capitol Hill, Reagan is now expected to alter the adminis- tration's negotiating stance when the Strategic Arms Reduction Talks resume June 8 inGeneva, Switzerland. The changes Reagan dis- cussed with his top.diplomatic and military strategists Tues- day will be based on recom- mendations of the MX commission headed by former nationalsecurityaffairsadviser Brent Scowcroft. Reagan hinted at the switch Tuesday while lobbying Repub licanand Democratic congress- men to back his plans for the MX missile. He invited three separate groups of lawmakers to the White House today to hear his pitch. Rep. Roy Dyson, D-Md., said Reagan agreed when one House member suggested he would use a new arms-control stance \as a chit\ to win over holdouts in Congress on the MX missile. Deputy White House press secretary Larry Speakes said: \It is indeed possible we might have modifications of our START proposal.\ The administration has been reviewing its position at the START talks with an eye rd including the recom- | m ndations of the Scowcroft panel. The basic U.S. proposal at START provides for a ceiling of ~sie 850 long-range missiles on each The Scowcroft commission urged deployment of 100 MX missiles followed by a longer- term shift to smaller, single- warhead missiles called \Mid- getmen\ and a change in direction in arms negotiations to counting warheads rather than missile launchers. Revealing Reagan was think- ing of revising the U.S. position at the START talks, Speakes said \it's likely these modifica- tions will be in the direction of theScowcroftcommission'scall for further emphasis on war- heads as units of counting.\ Some 30 House members, many of them Democratic members of the House Armed Services Committee, came to the White House Tuesday to discuss the MX. Reagan also has indicated he is willing to put in writing the assurances given to Congress he fully endorses the Scowcroft panel proposals. Reagan is being urged by some senators toappoint a bipartisan commis- sion to advise him on arms control. More Soviets Leave Beirut; Fears of War By SCOTT MacLEOD United Press International A Soviet airliner left Beirut today carrying the second group of Soviet Embassy dependents out of Lebanon, adding to fears of a new war sparked by reports of fresh Syrian and Palestinian troops pouring into the country. Soviet Embassy sources said 11 children and 12 adults, mainly women and elderly men, left on a scheduled flight to the Soviet Union. They joined 87 embassy dependents who left Monday on an unscheduled flight, ostensibly for a summer vacation at the Baltic Sea. A Soviet Embassy source said the dependents left \be- cause the embassy-run Soviet school is over for the year and it is time for their summer vacation.\ Other Soviet diplomats said the school term was cut short by two weeks because of recent fighting in the hills east of Beirut that spilled into the capital, killing 32 and injuring 100 ctvilians. The sudden departure of the Soviets was reminiscent of the evacuation of Soviet Embassy personnel in Arab countries on the eve of the 1973 Middle East War when Egypt attacked Israeli positions across the Suez Canal and Syria thrust into the occupied Golan Heights. The Soviet move came as Beirut emerged tense but calm after two late-night explosions that left seven people injured. One of the explosions, appar- ently a car bomb, rocked the Hamra sector of west Beirut, damaging a clothing boutique and injuring three passersby, witnesses and security officials said. In the Roueiss sector of southern Beirut near the Bour} Brajneh Palestinian refugee camp, a second bomb damaged a building and wounded four people, one of them seriously, police said. No one claimed responsibility for the blasts. In Washington, an adminis- tration official asking for anonymity Tuesday said \a dozen or so\ Soviet advisers were in Lebanon's eastern Bekaa Valley, ostensibly to train Syrian troops re-equipped with Soviet tanks, artillery and anti-aircraftbatteries following Israel's June 6 invasion of Lebanon. StateDepartmentspokesman Alan Romberg also said there has \clearly been some reintro- 'duction of PLO forces into Syrian-controlledareasofLeba- non.\ He said there was \no sign that Syria is preparing to attack.\ Other U.S. officials said there had been signs of more Syrian troops entering Lebanon, but it was not certain if they were beefing up existing forces or replacing those already in the country. ABC reported earlier that 10,000 fresh Syrian troops had crossedinto Lebanon. One U.S. official estimated thenumber of Palestine Libera- tion Organization fighters in Lebanon at 12,000, an increase of 2,000 over previous es- timates. Syrian troop strength in the eastern Bekaa Valley was put at 40,000.
