Itermine the effect of the lack of
(gravity on animals.
Michael Saunder, director of
[the Spacelab flight division of
jthe National Aeronautics and
[Space Adminstration, said the
] first Spacelab mission is set for
[September 1983. Three other
[flights are scheduled by the end
[of 1985.
“The first one will be the most
[complex of the menu,” Saunder
[said. “If we get through the first,
we will get through any mission,
I am told. It’s going to be a real
challenge.”
The first mission calls for the
laboratory to spend seven days
in space, where scientists will
conduct experiments in astro
nomy, solar physics, Earth
observations, space plasma phy
sics and life science.
One American and one Euro
pean scientist will fly on the
mission along with the comman
der and pilot of the shuttle and
two NASA astronauts called
mission specialists.
On the third mission, scien
tists hope to send four squirrel
monkeys and 24 rats into space
to determine how the animals
will live away from gravity.
After the four initial flights,
American scientists plan a
mixed cargo mission where civi
lian customers can pay for use of
Spacelab to conduct their own
experiments.
“This is the largest coopera
tive space project ever under
taken,” said Vice President
George Bush, who unveiled the
laboratory at the Kennedy Space
Center in February.
“Spacelab represents a bond,
not just of transatlantic coopera
tion and friendship, but of a
cooperation and friendship that
will extend even beyond the
Earth, into the heavens.”
The laboratory, designed and
built by the European Space
Agency, consists of a cylindrical
pressurized module and an un
pressurized platform in which
scientists — known as payload
specialists — will work on ex
periments requiring direct exp
osure to space. The lab will re
main in the shuttle’s cargo hold
“Spacelab has been built
for peace. It’s purpose is
for experiments and it
will be used as a peace

Ortner, chairman of the
space program board
for ESA.
at all times, exposed to space
through the hold’s open doors.
ESA and the Marshall Space
Flight Center in Huntsville,
Ala., will manage the first Space
lab mission. Marshall will over
see the other three test missions,
which are NASA only.
Under the program, NASA is
receiving free an engineering
model and a complete flight ver
sion of the laboratory, associated
ground support equipment and
some computer software.
NASA is buying a second
Spacelab flight unit for about
$300 million and may buy some
more later.
“Spacelab will help us to dis
cover the earth,” said Michel
Bignier, director of Space
Transportation Systems of ESA.

Salted baby food blamed
for rise in blood pressure
United Press International
CHICAGO — Salt added to
[homemade baby food and can-
jned products containing salt can
[increase the chances that infants
II develop high blood press-
I ure, a new study says.
A Canadian study on the
I long-term effects of salt on in-
| fant nutrition said milk and milk
products alone provide enough
sodium to meet the recom
mended level of intake for in
fants up to 18 months of age.
Nutrition experts David L.
Yeung, Jacquelyn Hall, Marie
Leung and Murray D. Pennell,
found children whose families
have a history of hypertension
are more likely to develop the
condition themselves.
The researchers, reporting in
the March edition of the Journal
of the American Dietetic Asso
ciation, found salt intake from
homemade foods was relatively
low in the first six months of in
fancy but there was a marked
increase from six to eight
months and a sharp increase
thereafter.
The jump was attributed to
the use of table foods, which had
been prepared for consumption
by the household in general.
The Food Protection Com
mittee of the Food Nutrition
Board, National Academy of
Sciences, recommended in 1976
that commercial baby food

United Press International
WASHINGTON — Some
birth control clinics report the
number of teenagers visiting
them has dropped in recent
weeks because girls mistakenly
believe the administration’s
proposed parent notification
rule already is in effect.
Various organizations have
voiced criticism claiming the
proposal will cause more teen
age pregnancies and venereal
disease.
The Reagan administration
formally proposed last month
that parents he told within 10
days when girls under 18 receive
prescriptions from federally
funded clinics, and receipt of
the notification he verified. Na
tionally, 1.5 million girls visit
family planning clinics.
The public has 60 days to sub
mit comments, which by law
must be taken into account.
Even if the rules are approved, a
lawsuit will likely be filed to de
lay them.
Since word of the proposal
leaked out in December, Plan
ned Parenthood clinics in San
Francisco saw drops in their
teenage clientele, the critics said.
Fhe drop in San Francisco
was 50 percent in the first three
weeks of February. “If it isn’t
(related), it certainly is an in
teresting coincidence,” spokes
woman Shahnaze Taplin said.
After the clinic began airing
public service announcements
saying the rule was not yet in
effect, ihe dropoff slowed to 30
percent, she said.
Mildred Wurb, Washington
office director of the Girls Clubs
of America, said: “We are trou
bled by a proposal that attempts
to drastically change public poli
cy without evidence of any be
nefit and, indeed, only the
potential for harm.”
Dr. Elizabeth Johns of the Na
tional Council of Negro Women
said: “The so-called ‘squeal rule’
would tell parents their adoles
cent has been responsible
enough to seek contraceptives; it
would not prevent, and it might
well lead to more unintended
pregnancies.”
The administration argues
the rule will encourage families
to talk, and parents should have
a say in potentially risky drug$L
and devices given their children-.
Birth control pill risks fo»^
teenagers are small and much
less than the risks of pregnanc)£«
