MOSCOW — An unmanned

monauts who have been in orbit 79
days.
The official Soviet news agency
Tass said Progress 6, carrying an es
timated 2.5 tons of supplies, docked
with Salyut 6 at 2:19 a.m. EDT.
The docking came just over 48
hours after the robot cargo capsule
was launched from the Soviet Cen
tral Asian cosmodrome at Baikonur.
The Progress 6 was carrying an
estimated ton of rocket and jet fuel
for the space lab engines and a ton
and a half of food, water and oxygen
regeneration equipment.
Also aboard was a tulip bulb that
was expected to bloom shortly and
decorate the dinner table for cos
monauts Vladimir Lyakhov and Val
ery Ryumin, who have been in
space since Feb. 25.
The tulip was part of a series of
biological experiments, but Soviet
ground controllers said it is one item
the two cosmonauts have been anx
ious to receive.
The capsule also was expected to
restock the lab in preparation for the
launch of another set of cosmonauts
about May 25.

Soviet sources predicted Soyuz 34
would be sent up late this month
with two cosmonauts — including a
Hungarian spaceman — aboard.
Last month, the Soviets launched
Soyuz 33, with a Soviet and a Bulga
rian cosmonaut board, but the
spaceship failed to dock with the
space station and returned to Earth
48 hours after liftoff.
As is customary on such flights,
the Progress 6 capsule is taking let
ters, newspapers and packages from
Earth to the Salyut 6 cosmonauts.
The Progress capsules have
played a major role in the Soviet
Union s highly successful spacelab
program.
The ability to resupply the
through the use of unmannet
sules allows the cosmonautsti

Ransom set at $100,000
Pilot is scared for his
United Press International
BOGOTA, Colombia — Four In
dians are holding a missing Ameri
can pilot — afraid he might not “live
through the night” — for $100,000
ransom, the man has told a high-
ranking Houston fire department of
ficial.
Ray McLamore has been missing
since he landed on a Colombian
beach April 29 with Houston fire
man William A. Spradley.
McLamore telephoned Dale
Everitt, chief of public information
of the Houston fire department, at a
hotel in Barranquilla where Everitt
was staying until charges against
Spradley of violating Colombian air
space could be resolved.
“He (McLamore) said he was in
good shape but didn’t know whether
he would live through the night,”
Everitt said in a telephone inter
view from the hotel.
“McLamore told me he was being
held by four Indians up in La Gua-
jira who were asking $100,000 ran
som,” Everitt said. “He said they
had carried him down to some
phone somewhere. They were in
side (with him) at first and then
stepped outside while he made the
call.”
Everitt said he was awaiting fur
ther word from McLamore about
details of the ransom demand.
“Were quite convinced it was
McLamore,” Everitt added. ‘T
asked him some personal questions
about his family that he was able to
answer.”
Everitt said the Sunday night
conversation resolved doubts about
the authenticity of a letter from
McLamore handed to Houston Fire
Chief V.E. Rogers at the hotel in
Barranquilla Saturday night.
In the letter, McLamore said: “I
am safe and would like to turn my
self in. I am afraid because the In
dians said the (Colombian) Army
would kill me if they found me.
McLamore, 45, has been missing
since he landed with Spradley in a
small plane on the shores of La Gua-
jira State, the center of Colombia’s
illicit marijuana smuggling industry.
Spradley is recovering from a
gunshot wound under guard at a
hospital in Riohacha, capital of la
Guajira, 130 miles northeast of Bar
ranquilla. He is being investigated
for violation of Colombian air space.
La Guajira Gov. Rafael I
said he would rule Thun
whether Spradley is innocentl
violation. If found guilty, I
face a fine ranging from $2,3
lars to $118,000 dollars.
