Marcos president of the early Sunday morning. He said his victory would "protect and save the democracy of our republic. Some legislators of the governing New Society Movement party, which Marcos, who has ruled the nation for 20 years, called the special election following increasing demands from the United States to make reforms. He said the vote would prove to his critics in the United States and at home that he still had the support of most Filipinos. But President Reagan issued a statement in Santa Barbara, Calif., saying. "It has already become evident. sadly, that the elections were marred by widespread fraud and violence perpetrated largely by the ruling party. It was so extreme that the election's credibility has been called into question both within the Philippines and in the United States." "Both sides must work together to make those reforms that are needed to ensure a stable democracy, a truly professional military and a healthy economy, the statement said. 7.100-islan- Phil-ippin- for another six years Saturday in a wild climax to an election that the nation's Roman Catholic bishops, the opposition and U.S. observers said was tainted by fraud.

Challenger disaster panel acted Saturday to bar top agency officials from taking part in internal reviews of the shuttle tragedy and NASA released dramatic new photographs chronicling the spaceship's fiery demise. The commission said the decisionmaking process leading up to Challenger's launch "may have been flawed" and the panel asked NASA to bar officials who participated in the launch decision from continuing work in the agency's own investigation. Data released by the space agency Friday hints that Challengers fate may have been sealed an instant after blastoff Jan. 28 at 11:38 a.m. EST when the ship's right-sid- e rocket booster apparently malfunctioned.
