A?® Chinese Vice Premier Teng ."i'jBsmo-ping Thursday was beginning 'Ik ft five-day tour of Atlanta, Houston 1 ltr ‘ and Seattle with his program includ- Jg grits, a 10-gallon cowboy hat and p- M:the curiosity of many Americans. Orotiri®. "Tfig honeymoon will continue,” that 4-foot-ll Peking leader said of ' d se tipiture Sino-American relations, dur- ir ewee»g a television interview, after three days of matching public smiles with esident Carter in Washington. The 74-year-old veteran of the J934-1935 Long March that tested d inspired the Communist con quest of China was acting, said a est at his Washington farewell rty Wednesday night, like a eam- igning American politician. During a day and night in Geor- la, Teng was to tour an auto plant — guided by Henry Ford II through fsuch sights as a car wash — and sam- Southern grits for breakfast. In Houston he is to tour America’s lace center, observe Texas cowboys doing their rodeo version of that old Mongolian pastime of cattle roping ’ O’i his siil ;roui rch gend is the er and eat barbecue. Seattle plans to preface Teng’s return to China by showing him Boeing’s plane works and feeding him Puget Sound pro tein. The Texans planned to even give Teng a cowboy’s wide-brimmed hat. To his American honeymooners he was all woo and tickle — “The friendship we have experienced here leaves us with an unforgettable im pression,” he said at the Washington farewell party. With Carter he presided at the White House signing of pacts leading to setting up consulates in San Fran cisco, Houston, Shanghai and Can ton; to the sale of American space technology to Peking and to ex changes of students, journalists, sportspeople, artists and scientists. “We have just done a significant job. And this is not the end but a beginning,” he said at the ceremony. But in talking to Americans other than Carter and his aides, Teng spoke darkly and steadily of Peking’s public enemy, the Russians.

Hf ane tli nningi sing hopes f thev United Press International HOUSTON — Flight controllers at the Johnson Space Center will cease round-the-clock monitoring of the doomed, 84-ton Skylab space station today. NASA said Thursday that flight controllers will monitor Skylab for 8 hours per day, 5 days per week. On Jan. 25, controllers maneuvered the space station from a ninimum drag orbital position to a position enabling Skylab’s solar lanels constantly to track the sun. The maneuver was done to prepare ent of! Skylab for possible “last chance” maneuvering prior to its re-entry. Re-positioning Skylab from the minimum drag position also speeded up decay of the vehicle’s orbit, NASA said. Estimates place re-entry sometime between June and August. The space agency has been studying ways to alter Skylab’s re-entry lath, although views differ among agency experts as to the degree of ontrol which might be effected. Skylab was launched May 14, 1973, at a cost of $2.6 billion. * ■nt Cul fiscal !l - BALL 0 ' ; ^ { FRIDAY j “JESS DEMAINE & AUSTIN” * $ 2 per person * -K SATURDAY FEB. 3 * MOE BANDY and the £ Rodeo Clowns £ Advanced tickets $5 At door $6 ^ Advanced tickets available at WTAW, Tip Top Records and Tapes, and Texas Hall of Fame. rC ■k 1700 ft. from the Villa Maria Exchange on Farm Rd. 2818 — COLLEGE STATION WELCOMES YOU TO A NEW TOTAL LOOK!

In his multi-channel television interview — Walter Cronkite, David Brinkley and Frank Reynolds had to merge CBS, NBC and ABC efforts for separate shows when Teng called for collectivism — the Chinese leader was asked if China would make war over Vietnam’s invasion of Peking-supported Cambodia. “We will not take any rash action,” he replied. “At the same time I can tell you that in addition to Cam bodia, the Vietnamese are also creat ing a great number of incidents along the Sino-Vietnam border and these are increasing.” Teng has his softer moments.
