Shuttle
develops
new leak
United Press International
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. —
America’s new space shuttle,
Challenger, has developed a
third engine leak, and NASA
sources said Saturday it could
force another delay of several
days in the ship’s maiden flight,
tentatively set for mid-March.
A “very small” crack was
found Friday in a quarter-inch
line that carries hydrogen to the
ignition system of Challenger’s
No. 2 main engine, Kennedy
Space Center spokesman Mark
Hess said.
In addition to removing the
No. 2 engine, Hess said techni
cians will test Challenger’s No. 3
engine and other engines in the
program.
“We are confident we can re
pair the crack here, but we want
to make sure there isn’t a leak in
other engines. We are checking
to see if there is a manufacturing
problem or a design defect,” he
said.
Challenger, a slimmed down
version of its predecessor, the
Columbia, has been beset with
engine problems since last De
cember when high concentra
tions of gaseous hydrogen were
detected in the shuttle’s rear en
gine compartment during a test
firing. The Challenger voyage
was originally scheduled to be
gin Jan. 20.

ight to go to court.

of contamination by dioxin, one
of the deadliest chemicals made
by man.
The dioxin was contained in
waste oil sprayed on the city’s
unpaved streets in the 1970s as a
dust control measure.
Hammer said appraisals will
not include damage from De
cember’s record flooding that
inundated most homes.
Times Beach had a popula
tion of more than 2,000 before
the flooding, and all but about
300 have found temporary
housing elsewhere. The buy out
is estimated to include 800 fami
lies and 12 businesses.
The Environmental Protec
tion Agency will allocate $33
million from the Superfund, a
special tax on chemical com
panies, to buy the homes and
businesses. The state must put
up $3.7 million as its share.
Patrick J. Breheny, regional
director of the Federal
Emergency Management Agen
cy, said plans for the buy out —
the first ever ot an entire town —
should be ready by March 17.
Laine Jumper, a resident
appointed to the presidential
task force working on the town’s
dioxin problem, said commun
ity leaders were organizing
efforts to ensure residents got a
fair market value for their
home.
He denied a rumor that those
agreeing to sell would have to
sign forms releasing the govern
ment from liablity for medical
problems.
“We’re not going to release
them from damages. We’re not
going to lose our legal rights to
sue — all the way up to the EPA
— in this thing,” he said.
State of ficials have said Times
Beach, a tract of land on the
flood plain of the Meramec Riv
er, may be turned into a river
side park once the buy-out is
completed and structures razed.
Several methods are being cons
idered for cleaning up the diox
in once the area is cleared.
