EPA orders
GM to recall
United Press International
WASHINGTON — An estimated
430,000 Pontiacs have been ordered
recalled by the Environmental Pro
tection Agency because they may
have faulty air pollution control sys
tems.
The problem involves a defective
joint in the exhaust gas recirculation
system. The part involved was made
for General Motors Corp. by the
Eaton Corp., and already has fig
ured in recalls of 1 million cars made
last year by Ford Motor Co. and
American Motors, who bought the
same part from Eaton.
The GM recall involves 1975
through 1978 models of Catalina,
Bonneville, Firebird, Le Mans and
Grand Pcutos. The EPA said 27,000
of the cars are ’75 models with 455
cubic-inch engines, 5,000 are ’76
models with 350 cubic-inch engines,
and 398,000 are ’77 and ’78 models
with either 350 or 400 cubic-inch

Skylab will fall to Earth soon
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The Skylab
space station only has two months
left before it drops out of orbit and
falls to Earth, according to the latest
estimate.
The space agency said Monday
that the North American Air De
fense Command calculates there is a
90 percent chance Skylab will come
down sometime between June 11
and July 1, with a 50-50 chance its
demise will occur June 19.
The orbital path of the abandoned
78.5-ton space laboratory is drop
ping two miles a week because of
the slight but steady drag it
encounters from the very thin upper
fringes of Earth’s atmosphere. The
lower it gets, the faster will be its
orbital descent until the drag is too
much and Skylab loses the speed
required to keep it in orbit.
The 118-foot long assembly is now
about 198 miles high. It was
launched in 1973 into an orbit rang
ing from 270 to 281 miles high.
Skylab will break apart when it
hits the thicker portions of the at
mosphere. Most of its aluminum
structure is expected to burn up
from the heat of air friction, but
NASA estimates 400 to 500 pieces
will survive.
The debris is expected to be scat
tered along a belt 4,000 miles long
and 100 miles wide somewhere be
tween 50 degrees north and 50 de
grees south. That covers 75 percent
of Earth’s surface and 90 percent of
the world’s population.
Skylab flies over all of the United
States except Alaska, much of
Europe and Asia, all of Africa and
Australia and nearly all of South
America.
Until the final few hours [|
re-entry, there is no way top
where the pieces will fall aol
mates even then may be offtr]

The danger of being bit byi|
of Skylab is no greater thanl
of being hit by a meteorite, i

CHICAGO — Jane M. Byrne,
keeping a promise she made in
anger, returned triumphantly as
mayor to the City Hall she was or
dered to leave just 17 months ago.
Monday night, the 44-year-old
Byrne, welcomed by an Irish bag
pipes, walked on an Irish-green car
pet to the City Council chambers,
where she took the oath of ofifice and
became the first woman mayor of
Chicago.
Chicago’s 42nd mayor told a
crowd of about 1,000 that jammed
the council chambers, she would
“continue that tradition” of leader
ship of the late Mayor Richard J.
Daley, her political mentor.
“When there were fears about the
future of the nation’s other older
cities, when a few of the cities tee
tered on the brink of bankruptcy, all
eyes were focused on Chicago for
contrast,” Byrne said.
“This was the city run efficiently.
It was the city in good financial con
dition. It was the city, if I may re
peat a cliche, that everybody said
was ‘the city that works.’
“The credit for much of this
rightly belongs to the late Mayor
Daley, who forged a coalition of
business and labor that kept
Chicago always moving ahead. I
pledge tonight to continue that tra
dition.”
Byrne, who was appointed con
sumer sales commissioner by Daley
in 1969, said her administration will
bring a “new renaissance” to the city
by rebuilding the city’s neighbor
hoods.
She also pledged an “open kind of
government” and “to be mayor for
all of the people of this city — for
one Chicago.”
Byrne was fired by Mayor
Michael A. Bilandic, who became
mayor after Daley’s death in 1976,
after she accused him in November
1977 of “greasing” a taxicab fare in
crease through the City Council.
Angry that she was being tossed
out of City Hall, Byrne i
aides she would take Bilan
away from him and walk bacl
City Hall. She later said shetj
the statement “off the topd
head.”
