CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla — The
National Aeronautics and Space
Administration has ordered
around-the-clock shifts, seven days
a week, in an effort to make the
space shuttle Columbia ready for its
scheduled initial test flight Nov. 9,
NASA disclosed Tuesday.
About 600 employees of Rockwell
International, builder of the shuttle
and of the space agency, were as
signed to the triple daily shifts.
The first priority this week was
removal of the plastic substitutes for
about 8,000 ceramic tiles in the
shuttle’s 34,000-tile heat shield. As
the dummy tiles were removed,
work crews cleaned the surface to
prepare it for cementing the re-
placements.
Officials at the Kennedy Space
Flight Center said a six-week-long
test of the shuttle’s major combined
systems would begin next week.
Two dummy rocket boosters to be
used for fitting and checking of the
shuttle before the flight hardware is
ready have already reached Cape
Canaveral.
A mock-up copy of the shuttle’s
external fuel tank was scheduled to
arrive at the space center today to
be used during the testing program.
NASA officials have said there
was no better than a 15 percent
chance that Columbia will be ready
on time for the Nov. 9 flight date.

WASHINGTON — Can a company and a union voluntarily
a job training program that plainly prefers minorities withoutl
subject to “reverse discrimination” suits by whites?
The Supreme Court scheduled 90 minutes of arguments Wa
day on that issue, raised in a sequel to last June’s Bakke nil
reverse discrimination in schools.
The ultimate decision could have an important influence ot
American workplace.
Due to Justice John Paul Stevens’ decision to disqualify I
from the case and Lewis Powell’s absence following surgery,
seven members of the court were to question lawyers inthevi
draped courtroom. Powell has not yet said whether he plans to
ticipate in the ruling.
Last June, the court ruled 5-4 a white medical school
named Allan Bakke had been discriminated against by a special
versity admissions program for minorities.
The new case raises questions left unresolved about the secti
the 1964 Civil Rights Act which prohibits discrimination in era
ment.
It was begun by a blue-collar worker named Brian Weber,
won lower court rulings that he and other whites in a Gramercy,
plant run by Kaiser Aluminum and Chemical Corp. were i|
excluded on racial grounds from half the seats in an on-th
training program.
The training program, adopted in 1974 as part of a national
tive bargaining agreement with the United Steelworkers union,
porarily reserved one-half of all seats for minorities until thepei
age of blacks employed as craftsmen in the plant reached 39 peto
The program balanced Kaiser’s efforts to comply voluntarily
government demands that federal contractors recruit qualifiedl
against union demands that its members — mostly white -
lowed to participate.
Weber, a strong union man, went to court after his applicatki
denied even though some blacks had less seniority.
