As a result, U.S. Trade Represen tative William E. Brock has begun an investigation into the pricing prac tices of Arianespace, the French firm that is offering the unmanned Ariane rocket to companies and gov ernments with satellites to launch. Not only does Ariane compete with NASA’s space shuttle, but it is seeking business of the type that used to be handled by NASA’s reli able Delta rocket. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, at the urging of President Reagan, turned over the Delta satellite launching pro gram in May to Transpace Carriers Inc., a company formed specifically to market and launch Deltas. But Transpace has yet to sign up a customer, although spokesman Den nis Ahern said the company is nego tiating with several potential custom- Not only does Ariane compete with NASA’s space shuttle, but it is seeking business of the type that used to be han dled by NASA’s reliable Delta rocket. The company blames Arianespace for its troubles, claiming that the French firm is engaged in “preda tory pricing,” cutting prices for launch services to American custom ers 25 percent to 33 percent below charges for similar services to Euro pean customers. Transpace asked President Rea gan to seek an end to such a two- tiered pricing policy and, in the meantime, to retaliate by prohibiting Arianespace from advertising and marketing its services in the United States, and by imposing economic sanctions on French goods and serv ices. Brock’s office agreed July 9 to in vestigate the Transpace complaint under Section 301 of the 1974 Trade Act. The agency by law must report its findings to the president by next July, at which time the presi dent will have 21 days in which to act. Jacqueline Schenkel, a spokeswo man for Arianespace, said the com pany has no comment at this time on the action. The European Space Agency, which developed the Ariane, said in a memo filed to the trade office that the practices and policies followed by the members or ESA “are in no way unreasonable ... nor do these practices-policies in any way affect the economic interests of the United States.” Transpace estimates the maiiet for satellite launch services througk the next decade will total as muchas $10 billion. Much of that satellite launching business will go to tht space shuttle, but Ariane has deni onstrated that some companies wil opt for flights into orbit atop iifr manned rockets like the Delta anil Ariane. ESA developed Ariane to free Western Europe from dependence on the United States for satellite launching services. Arianespace tool over operations after the rocketi eighth flight. French shareholders own 59.25 percent of the company and West German shareholders account lot 19.6 percent. Other shareholders, providing less than 5 percent of die company’s capital, represent Bel gium, Italy, Switzerland, Spain, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Nether lands, Denmark and Ireland, Seven of the nine Arianes have been launched so far have been suc cessful, including the May 22 orbit ing of a communications satellite owned by the GTE SpacenetCorpol McLean, Va. Spacenet was the tirsl American satellite to be launched outside of the United States. The Delta, built by McDonnel Douglass Astronautics Corp,, has launched 163 satellites over the past 24 years and has an overall 97 per cent success rate. Its last 40 launch ings have been successful. Hit State medical board issues complaint against doctor United Press International DALLAS — People suffering from cancer, heart disease, diabetes and a host of other ailments go to Dr. Ann Bhuket looking for a cure, but a state medical board complaint alleges she is a charlatan. The complaint claims Bhuket, who practices in Plano, is guilty of using unorthodox and harmful means to treat at least six patients. Bhuket, a native of Thailand who went to medical school in Bangkok and completed her internship at Baylor Medical Center in Houston, practices holistic medicine. Her stated medical theory distrib uted to patients includes the belief that “just as illness is a progressive degenerative process, so is wellness a progressive improvement program." Her treatments include “mental and spiritual counseling.” They also include what has been de scribed as “all kinds of make-believe machines” supposedly used as diag nostic tools. Sam Stone, counsel for the board,is pressing the board to yank Dr. ket’s license. “She harmed those patients,” Stone said. “She constituted in those cases a danger to the public. She delayed treatment. She caused unneeded pain.” Bhuket’s attorney, Mike Aranson, would not allow his client to be inter viewed.
