About four years ago, the Navy moved 39 ships out of Newport to other bases and virtually dismantled the Rhode Island complex in what was described as a necessary economy move. "There was political interest in putting ships back into the Northeast area" one military source said.

He said it was "a higher decision than the Navy's," indicating House Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill and a 204member bipartisan coalition of Northeast and Midwest congressmen, have been demanding that the administration halt what they call a steady drain of military spending from their areas in favor of the South and West. Last October, the coalition accused the Navy of "stripping all remaining naval facilities from the Northeast." WASHINGTON (AP) Like its predecessors, the Carter administration is finding it was easier to talk about reducing or closing military bases than getting the job done.

He said the original site "best satisfies all these factors." Construction is to start in September.

Weston, a Clayton businessman who was elected to the House in again in 1942, says he will run for the state Senate in Disfkct 23 in the Sept. 5 Democratic primary.

House rejects judicial raises MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) A resolution rejecting substantial pay raises recommended by the Judicial Compensation Commission for state judges has been adopted by the Alabama House. To prevent the proposed pay raises from taking effect, however, the Senate also must pass the resolution rejecting the commission's recommendation.

One bill would abolish Jefferson County District Judge No.

12, currently held by Cook, at the end of the current term, if no vacancies occur beforehand. The other bill would create a new circuit judgeship to which Zanaty could be appointed. Gafford said the first bill should have called for the abolition of District Judge No. 8, Zanaty post, instead of No. He said the bill was incorrectly drafted and that he has prepared an amendment to correct the error.

"It was inadvertent," Gafford explained. "Nothing was meant to do any harm to Cook." PSC agents may get raise MONTGOMERY, Ala.
