A spokesman for Boston Edison denied the allegations, which are under investigation by the South Carolina attorney general's office. Officials of Chem-Nuclear in Barnwell, S.C., were not immediately available for comment. Abortion decision fought NEW ORLEANS ? Louisiana officials say they will fight a federal judge's decision that most of the state's 1978 abortion law - considered one of the most restrictive in the country - is unconstitutional. "We are going to appeal," said Attorney General William Guste. He predicted Monday's ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Robert Collins would be reversed by a higher court. Collins, who took a year to reach the decision, left standing only minor provisions of the law. Bell requests increase WASHINGTON ? Long-distance telephone rates would go up if the Bell Telephone System wins its request for a 10.5 percent rate increase. Officials of the American Telephone and Telegram Co. said Monday they need the across-the-board increase because inflation is wiping out Bell's efforts to Icut costs.

Ford was one of eight Republicans and five Democrats listed as potential candidates by Secretary of State Fred L. Wineland. Each man's name will be on the primary ballot unless he submits a letter by March 28 saying he is not a candidate for the Republican nomination. If Ford chose to stay in the Maryland primary, he would be able to make perhaps his first challenge to apparent GOP front-runner Ronald Reagan in a state that Ford won easily four years ago. In a two-man contest, Ford outpolled Reagan 96,291 to 69,680 in the |i 1976 Maryland primary. ?oe String evel - Columbia Mall | it Outside Belk 's | pment of the Famous | um Shoe I $32.00 to students with ID.

The state Department of Mental' Health will ask for another inspection of the South Carolina State Hospital by the agency which last week revoked the institution's accreditation. And Ted Shelton, director of public affairs for the department, says the loss of accreditation will have no immediate affect on services offered patients at the Columbia psychiatric institution. State mental health officials were notified last week the hospital had lost its accreditation. The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals said the facility does not meet the commission's minimum standards. The loss of accreditation means the hospital is no longer eligible for funding through Medicaid, Medicare and private insurance policies which bring in more than $1 million a year.
