WASHINGTON — It may be a
long inarch but he regards it as a
,lon ' 1 honeymoon trip.
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

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.
At his Washington Blair House
guest residence he told reporters
over lunch that America, China, Ja-

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.

pan, Western Europe and develop
ing nations “each should take steps to
restrain Soviet hegemony.” In Pe
king wall poster lingo, “hegemony
means aggression.
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.
Talking of his two grandchildren:
“They are my toys, and I am their
toy. They are my bosses . If I don t
bring a gift back with me, they will
raise a strong protest but they will
not stage a demonstration.”
