Only the DC-10s that have had their engine pylons removed and reinstalled after completion of last week’s inspection are affected by the Federal Aviation Administration’s order Monday. The problems are associated with improper reinstallation of the engine pylon as sembly. The new order came in response to a recommendation by the National Transportation Safety Board that airlines inspect all DClOs to make sure their engines were not damaged by improper mainte nance procedures during the investigation. The board issued a “Class I Urgent Action” recommendation Monday to the FAA, warning that the DC-lOs may have suffered damage if the engines were removed improperly during two “modifications” recommended by the manufacturer, McDonnell Douglas. The FAA said fewer than 20 of the DC-10s should be affected by its order. The safety board’s recommendation followed the discovery of cracks on the engine mountings of two American Airlines DC-10s during FAA-ordered inspections in the wake of the fatal Chicago crash that killed 274 people on May 25. The board said the American Airline jets had cracks in an engine mounting component — the rear bulkhead — the same area where a 10-inch crack was found in the American Airlines DC-10 that crashed. The board said the plane that crashed had undergone removal of its engine mounting for maintenance just two months before the acci dent, and the crack had existed prior to the tragedy. It said the latest cracks found in two American Airlines planes probably were a result of improper maintenance procedures. FOR A NON-FATTENING LUNCH .

Five bombs have surfaced, in cluding ones sent to a former SS of ficer in Paterson, N.J.; to Nazi groups in Chicago, Cicero, Ill., and Arlington, Va., as well as Gerhard Lauck, a member of the German and American Nazi parties. No one was injured, although the devices, sent in cigar-box shaped packages, were powerful enough to kill those opening them, police said. The International Committee Against Nazism and the Jewish Ac tion Movement both claimed re sponsibility for the bombs, the sec ond group saying that “the only rights Nazis have is for burial.” The first two bombs were re ceived Friday, by former SS officer Tscherim Soobzokov of Paterson and a branch of the National Socialist White People’s Party in Cicero. Soobzokov, who was cleared of war crimes allegations by a Manhat tan grand jury, said, T have no af filiation with any group or society that was antihumanitarian. I knew I was clean. I was not expecting this.” Two members of the Nazi group in Cicero became suspicious when they picked up a cigar-sized box at the post office. They called police after opening one end. Police said the box contained a jar filled with black powder surrounded by ball bearings and nails, apparent projectiles to be blasted toward the person who opened the box. They said the bomb was “made to kill.” The third bomb was delivered Saturday to Chicago headquarters of the National Socialist Party of America, but there was no one to accept delivery. It was disarmed Monday by authorities alerted by the other bombs. The fourth bomb, mailed to Lauck in Lincoln, Neb., was dis armed Sunday. The 26-year-old man is head of the overseas branch of the German Nazi Party and has been ac tive in the American Nazi Party, primarily as a publisher. The fifth bomb, addressed to the Arlington, Va., leader of the Na tional Socialist White People’s Party, was discovered Monday af ternoon by postal authorities. In calls to the Associated Press Saturday and Monday, callers rep resenting the International Com mittee Against Nazism claimed re sponsibility for all five bombings and said more were on the way. In two calls to United Press International Monday, male callers claimed responsibility for the Lauck bomb and said others were sent to Chicago, El Monte, Calif., and Englewood, N.J. No bombs had been found in the last two cities. Arthur Jones, a spokesman for the National Socialist White People’s Party, said three of the bombs bore Soobzokov’s return address. Soob zokov said he knew nothing about it. Shuttle launch delayed; date to be set later United Press International WASHINGTON — The first launch of the space shuttle Colum bia has been delayed again — from November to sometime next year. Dr. Robert Frosch, administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, said at a Se nate subcommittee hearing Monday a new date for the shuttle’s initial orbital test flight should be set late this month. In his last report to the subcom mittee a month ago, Frosch said the shuttle was still scheduled for launch in November although another delay was probable. “It is clear that the schedule has slipped into 1980, he said.” The original flight date was last March. In other testimony. Dr. William Perry, undersecretary of defense, told the committee that the Air Force has delayed by six months the time when Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., will be ready to launch a shuttle. The new operational date is December 1983. Now Better Than Ever. You Will Be Pleased With These Carefully Prepared and Taste Tempting Foods.
